Because every move is unique, we offer a variety of packing services. Just tell us what you need and we’ll make it happen.

Full-Service Packing. We’ll bring skilled labor and packing supplies to your home a day or two before your move. By the time we’re done, you’ll have stacks of packed, organized, and labeled boxes!
Self-Service Packing. Feel like packing up your own belongings to prep for your move day? We’ve got you covered! We can provide all the materials you could possibly need, from sturdy plastic moving binsto professional recyclable newsprint.
Unpacking. Our team of experts can unpack your rental truck or portable storage containers. We can even fully unwrap and unpack all of your belongings and help set up your new home!

Storage Services

We didn’t become Chicago’s favorite moving company without being flexible. And that flexibility includes storing your materials whenever you need that service. Sometimes closings are delayed. Sometimes our clients combine households and realize that they don’t have room for their old comic book collection. Whatever the reason, we’ll be happy to hang onto your materials.

We get it: your items and your move are unique. And that’s just fine with us! We can customize our storage service to accommodate your needs:

Overnight Storage. It’s pretty common for our clients to ask us to hold onto their items overnight. We can move you out of your old home one day, hold onto your materials overnight, and move you into your new home the next day.
Vault Storage. If you need a place to safely stash some items for a few weeks, months, or even years, our vault storage might be a good fit. We’ll pack all of your materials into an oversized wooden vault, where they’re stay until you’re ready to reunite yourself with your items.
Rack Storage. Our racking systems are ready when you need them! We can rent 4’x4’ or 4’x8’ spaces if you just need to stash a couch or a table.
Micro Storage. Just need to store a couple of boxes? We’ve got you! We’ll store as little or as much as you want.

Why Move-tastic?

Moving is a service-based industry, and we consider ourselves a hospitality-based company. Sure, we have great movers who will give you a great experience on your move day. But that’s not enough. We want you to have a great experience from your first contact with our Customer Service Team all the way through the service that our move crew provides on your move day.

Culture

We believe that culture is important to every company—it’s what makes us unique and sets us apart.

We’re not just the best professional movers in Chicago. We’re a family owned and operated business. We’re a lighthearted and fun-loving company. And all of our workers are employees—we don’t hire contractors.

There are five main pillars to our culture that we teach every single one of our employees. We eat, drink, breathe, and live these tenets!

PMA—Positive mental attitude
Safety
Hustle
Care
Skill

Online Experience

Your online experience is important to us. And it’s important to our Owner and Founder! Pete Horvath—the dude who started it all—is a former IT Manager for a large Chicago hotel. His tech-centric mind helped us to become one of the first moving companies in Chicago to offer a website and a web-based intake form.

As we’ve grown, we’ve added some pretty cool stuff to our website—and will continue to do so! We are proud of our technology, and we’ll continue to focus on keeping our website ahead of the curve to ensure an enjoyable and streamlined process for all of our clients.

Customer Service

Moving can be stressful. But it doesn’t have to be! We pride ourselves on our ability to reduce the stress of moving for every single customer. And this starts with our stellar customer service.

We see the moving industry as a hospitality-based industry. That’s why all of our team members—from our office staff to our movers—are trained in customer service. We are here to answer questions, accommodate changes, and provide you with an outstanding moving experience.

Our employees are our number one pride and joy. But our fleet is a close second!

Our fleet ranges in size from utility vehicles up to 26’ box trucks, and everything in between. Whatever you need, just call Chicago’s favorite movers!

Other Moving Services

The word “move” is in our company name, but our service goes beyond just moving. In addition to traditional moving, packing, and storage, we can help you with a wide range of related services:

Plastic rental bins that are great for moving and storage. They’re cooler, cheaper, and more eco-friendly than cardboard!
Packing supply delivery so you don’t have to run to multiple stores to pick up packing paper, tape, boxes, etc.
Parking permit coordination, because dealing with the City of Chicago to arrange where we can park our truck isn’t at the top of your list. We’ll handle it for you!
Certificate of Insurance (COI) to make your building management company happy.
Basic furniture assembly and disassembly so that you don’t have to worry about which tools you might not have in that dusty old toolbox of yours.
Home staging for that upcoming sale. Have your home organizer or realtor call us for details.
Disposal service for your unwanted items. Let us do the heavy lifting and transport that old couch or dresser to a resale shop, a donation center, or a recycling center!

Movin’ and Groovin’ since 2007

What do an IT Manager and a schoolteacher do when they want to help people and get in a good workout?

They start a moving company!

Move-tastic! was founded in 2007 by Pete and Pat. These dudes are best friends, neighbors, bandmates, and triathletes. Pete bought a pickup truck in 2004 to make his life easier during some home renovations. Having a pickup truck in the City of Chicago gave him instant celebrity status! Friends, family, and neighbors called him for help with IKEA missions, Craigslist furniture pickups, Costco runs, and anything else you could imagine a pickup helping with.

Together, Pete and Pat started helping friends move. Someone posted a Yelp review, and soon the guys were getting calls from all over the city. They moved at night and on weekends, whenever their day jobs would allow.

In September 2008, Pete purchased the first official box truck for the company. Fast forward to today, when we have a full fleet showing off our logo and slogans!

General questions

What are your hours of operation?

Our office is open from 9am to 5pm Monday thru Friday, 9am to 12pm Saturday & Sunday. If you have any non-immediate questions, we also check our email often. Generally, our moves take place between 8am and 8pm, but we are willing to move any time of day or night, including weeknights and weekends.

How does your scheduling work?

Every crew typically performs two moves a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The morning move starts around 8am or 9am and ends when the last item in our truck is placed in the destination address. We try to estimate this time as best as possible, but it difficult to predict the exact duration of a move. Thus, our afternoon and evening moves do not have fixed start times. The start times vary depending on when the morning move finishes. We kindly ask afternoon clients to be prepared to start their moves anytime between 1pm and 5pm.

What are your rates?

We charge a competitive hourly rate that depends on several factors, including the number of men needed to execute your move, travel distance between your initial and final destinations, and other considerations. We regularly conduct market research to guarantee that our rates stay competitive.

Do you have an hourly minimum?

We do have a 2 hour minimum for all residential jobs. The hourly labor rate is pro-rated in 15 minute increments for any time over our 2 hour minimum.

What payment methods do you accept?

We wish we could get paid in gold... At present, we ONLY accept cash and all major credit cards.

Do you provide a receipt?

Yes, we will provide you with a bill of lading via email.

How far in advance do I need to book my move?

The end of the month is by far the busiest time to schedule a move, so please contact us in advance to make sure that we have availability. That said, we are happy to accommodate last-minute moves for instance, when other moving companies don’t show up when our schedule allows. Please note, we operate on a first come, first serve basis and our availability is constantly changing. Our availability may change at anytime and your slot is not secured until you receive a confirmation email from us.

What about deposits/cancellation fees?

We do not require deposits. To avoid a cancellation fee, we require a 72 hour notice prior to the day of your move via email or phone.

What are your Terms of Service?

We thought you’d never ask! Here are our Terms of Service.

Are you licensed, bonded and insured?

You betcha!
