About Move-tastic!

Move-tastic! is more than a company.

It’s a phenomenon. A community. And dare we say…a movement!

We know that moving can actually be fun. Part of our customer service mantra is to make moving FUN by being Flexible, Understanding, and Nice while we provide each of our clients a fun, stress-free, and smooth experience.

Whether we’re providing packing, moving, or storage service, our goal is always to accommodate your needs and exceed your expectations. That’s how we became Chicago’s favorite professional movers and packers. And that’s not a title that we take lightly!

Passion for Helping People

Back in the early 2000s, Pete was an IT Director in the hospitality industry. He used a pickup truck to make his life easier during some home renovations, and then started helping family and friends with IKEA pickups, Costco runs, Craigslist furniture purchases, and just about anything else you can imagine. As a triathlete with a passion for helping people, Pete loved lending a hand—and getting a great workout in the process!

Along with his best buddy, Pete started performing full moves, and the guys helped their friends, family, and neighbors move around Chicago. Someone posted an online review, and the floodgates opened! They started getting calls from all over the city, so they moved at night and on the weekends. And since they’re both too dumb to say “no”, they handled a LOT of moves!

Moving proved to be the perfect fit for Pete. His boundless energy, hospitable nature, and love of helping people led him to leave his day job in IT and start the best moving company in Chicago.

A Family-Owned—and Woman-Operated—Moving Company

Pete’s love of moving didn’t stop with that old pickup. In September 2008, he purchased a used moving truck so that he could move his then-girlfriend (now wife!) Rachel from New York to Chicago. With a background in fashion design and business management, Rachel had a passion for anticipating clients’ needs and making people happy. She left the fashion industry to join the ever-exciting moving industry, and climbed the Move-tastic! ranks to become President so that she could run the daily operations while Pete was movin’ and groovin’ around the Chicagoland Area.

Together, Pete and Rachel have built a hard-working, fun-loving, family-owned, and woman-operated company with dedicated employees and countless happy clients . The entire Move-tastic! Team understands that moving is a service-based, hospitality-inspired industry. And that translates into a phenomenal moving experience for each of our customers!
