Local Movers

Benefits of Hiring Local Movers

Even if you’re staying in the same city – or even the same neighborhood – there’s no doubt that moving is stressful. You already have a lot on your plate when it comes to changing your address, transferring utilities, and figuring out how to safely transport pets. Dependable local movers can at least make moving day itself a worry-free experience.

A professional local moving company makes relocating smoothly a reality. No back-and-forth trips to the old house, no holes in the walls, no back injuries, and no need to take days off work to pack, load, and unload. Instead, your entire family enjoys a stress-free move with a trained crew handling the logistics and hard work.

You may be trying to move on a short timeline, aren’t up for physically challenging labor, or you simply want a smooth moving process that’s over as fast as possible. As moving day approaches, just imagine how relaxing it will be to greet a team of movers then, later that day, step into the new house with all your belongings exactly where they should be. Federal Companies is ready to deliver and have you settled into your new home in no time.

Our Moving Services

Federal Companies offers the tailored services you need to move within the city or nearby. No relocation is too large or small; count on our professional movers to arrive on time with the experience, training, and tools needed to perform the job well.

Our Professional Movers Use Specialized Equipment & Training

A successful relocation requires more than a truck, boxes, and the willingness to work hard. To perform an excellent job, a team needs the ability to move all types of belongings, including very fragile or oversized items, safely and efficiently.

At Federal Companies, we make sure our employees are equipped with the training, tools, and equipment necessary for every job. That includes a variety of straps, dollies, furniture blankets, hand tools, and specialized equipment for specific types of furniture and belongings.

With a century of experience in the industry, we know that the correct equipment combined with top-notch training and a crew with a great work ethic make all the difference when it comes to delivering superior services.
The right equipment and training helps our movers to make the moving process easier, safer, and worry free. You can rest easy knowing your items are packed with the right techniques and materials to arrive to your new home in one piece. Everything is loaded with care and the proper equipment onto a well-maintained truck and secured carefully. We even make sure your home is protected from damage with Masonite boards over carpeting and protective padding for door jambs.

How Much Does a Local Move Cost?

Professional movers offer a great value with the ability to customize the services you receive to stay within budget. You can get the help you need and handle the tasks you want – or let a professional crew handle everything.

The cost of moving services depends on many factors. A free in-home assessment will be necessary to give you an accurate estimate that considers the type and volume of your goods and how long your move should take. It may help to understand the factors that go into your moving cost:

• Season and date of your move
• Distance from your current to new location
• Level of service (packing, unpacking, labor-only, etc.)
• Specialty services
• Storage needs
• Type of belongings and volume of household goods
• Accessibility of the apartment or home (stairs, elevator, parking, etc.)
• Size of moving crew needed

With Federal Companies, you can expect competitive, transparent pricing. Our local moves are charged hourly plus travel time with trip travel insurance, a higher level of coverage than you’ll get with most local movers who only include basic coverage (just $0.30/lb) or depreciated coverage. Local moves are relocations within 35 miles. If you are moving outside this radius, you may have an hourly or flat rate for long distance movers.

Federal Companies Is Your #1 Moving Company

You deserve a wonderful experience on moving day. To get the professionalism and dependability you need, take the time to research moving companies and make sure they’re able to deliver the service you need. Here is what we recommend looking for.

• Licensed and insured. An Illinois moving company must have a Household Goods License from the Illinois Commerce Commission. Verify the company is licensed and insured for your protection if your belongings are damaged or someone is hurt.
• Proven track record. A dependable mover has years of experience in the industry. Don’t be afraid to ask about the number of moves they complete each year and how many are similar to yours.
• Background checked, trained movers. The team that handles your move should be background checked, trained, and uniformed. This ensures they have the knowledge and skill necessary to safely complete your move.
• Transparent pricing. Beware of any mover that is not willing to give you a written estimate, has confusing pricing, accepts cash only, or requires a high deposit upfront.
