The Poseidon Moving Experience in Chicago.

Every move includes the essentials needed to protect your home and belongings. Our trucks arrive fully stocked with the equipment, tools, and materials needed to handle your move with care.

EVERY MOVE INCLUDES

What’s Included in Every Chicago Move

Your furniture is wrapped for protection during the move. Standard wrapping may include common household items such as couches, chairs, mattresses, bed frames, dressers, tables, shelving units, and cabinets.

Large furniture may need to be disassembled before it can move safely through narrow staircases, tight hallways, elevators, or doorways. Our crew can disassemble and reassemble standard furniture items when needed.

Poseidon Moving can provide complimentary specialty boxes for select fragile, valuable, or uniquely shaped items. These boxes should be requested before your move date to help confirm availability.

Our movers handle loading and unloading at pickup and delivery. Items are loaded carefully, secured for transport, and unloaded according to the move plan.

Transportation charges are addressed in your moving estimate. This may include the truck, crew, fuel, tolls, and road-related charges based on the type of move and estimate provided.

Every move includes basic liability coverage. Additional valuation protection is available for customers who want extra coverage for their belongings.

SPECIALTY SERVICES

Specialty Moving Services in Chicago

Beyond standard moving and packing, our Chicago moving team has the expertise and the network for jobs that require specialized equipment and skilled crews.

✓

Apartment and High-Rise Moving

Downtown towers and elevator buildings are daily work for our crews. Building rules are followed, elevator interiors and doorways are padded, and the move runs inside your building’s scheduled window.

✓

Crating

Custom crating for artwork, glass, stone, and fragile high-value pieces that need more protection than boxes and blankets.

✓

Storage

Short-term and long-term storage options between addresses — picked up, stored, and delivered back when your new place is ready.

✓

Hoisting

When a sofa or oversized piece will not fit the staircase, we hoist it through a window or balcony with the right rigging and crew.

✓

Senior Moving

Downsizing or transitioning to a retirement community — paced, patient moves with careful placement help at the new home.

✓

Labor Only

Have your own truck or container? Our movers handle the loading, unloading, and heavy lifting on your schedule.

QUESTIONS

Chicago Moving Questions Answered

Most local Chicago moves are priced hourly based on the number of movers, the truck plan, and how long the job takes; fixed-price quotes are available when the scope is clear. Every estimate comes in writing before move day.

Poseidon Moving is fully licensed and insured — USDOT 2522855 | MC 876024. Every move includes basic liability coverage, with additional valuation protection available.

Many managed buildings ask for insurance documentation before allowing a move. Tell us your building requirements early so the paperwork and move window can be handled before the Poseidon moving team arrives.

Our crews work high-rise moves around reserved elevator windows every week. Share your building’s window when you book and the crew size gets matched so loading finishes inside it.

Poseidon Moving can help arrange the appropriate Chicago moving truck parking permits when needed for your move.

If your move is leaving the state, Poseidon can prepare a separate out-of-state moving plan with a fixed-price estimate based on the itemized list of your move, the distance between your origin and destination addresses, packing needs, storage needs, and delivery requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

View all

How do I get an estimate?

Choose whichever fits your schedule for a free quote or consultation.

✓Video walkthrough. A 15-minute video call, room by room. Most popular option.
✓Call us. 866-565-1516 speak with our friendly team.
✓Request a quote online. Send details and we’ll follow up.
✓Free in-person estimate. Available for homes with 2+ bedrooms.

Will my furniture be protected?

Yes. At Poseidon Moving, protecting your furniture is one of our highest priorities.

Every piece is carefully prepared before it’s moved. Our crews use heavy duty moving blankets, stretch wrap, floor protection, and proven loading techniques to help prevent scratches, dents, and shifting during transport.

If you have antiques, artwork, glass, marble, or other high-value items, we can recommend additional protection options such as custom crating or White Glove service.

Are there items you can't move?

Yes. For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials or certain restricted items. These are commonly referred to as “non-allowable items.”

This includes:

•Propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, and lighter fluid
•Paint, aerosols, household cleaners, and other hazardous chemicals
•Fireworks, ammunition, matches, and charcoal
•Living things, including plants, fish, and pets

We recommend transporting these items yourself, using them before your move, or disposing of them safely according to local regulations.

Not sure about a specific item? Just ask your Move Coordinator before moving day, and we’ll be happy to let you know if it can be transported.

Can you take down TVs and wall-mounted items?

Yes. We can remove and reinstall many wall-mounted items as part of your move.

Our crews can typically dismount and reinstall:

✓Mounted TVs
✓Artwork and mirrors
✓Shelving
✓Window air conditioners

Some installations may require additional hardware, specialized tools, or extra time, so these services may incur an additional charge.

If you know you’ll need help with wall-mounted items, let your Move Coordinator know before moving day so we can arrive fully prepared.

How much will my move cost?

Every move is unique, so the most accurate pricing starts with a personalized estimate.

✓Local Moves – Pricing depends on the size of your move, the time required, travel time, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or specialty handling. Based on your move, we’ll recommend either hourly or flat-rate pricing.
✓Long-Distance Moves – We provide binding estimates based on your inventory, the distance, logistics, and any additional services you request.

Do you provide moving supplies and equipment?

Yes. Every Poseidon Moving truck arrives fully stocked with the supplies and equipment your move may need.

✓Heavy-duty moving pads, stretch wrap, and tape
✓Dollies, hand trucks, straps, and floor protection
✓Basic tools for disassembly and reassembly

If you’re not fully packed by moving day, let us know before your move date and we’ll make sure the crew brings the packing supplies you need – boxes, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, mirror boxes, and TV boxes.
