Moving from a third-floor condo in Chicago to a house in Glen Ellyn takes more than a truck and a moving crew. There is furniture to move down from the condo, building access to coordinate, and personal belongings that need extra care.
For Patrick Panayotov and his family, Mid-West Moving & Storage handled the move from start to finish in 8.5 hours. The move included a substantial amount of furniture, along with their daughter’s belongings and his wife’s artwork.
Planning the Move Before Moving Day
A third-floor condo move comes with a few extra considerations. Before moving day, the sales team needs to understand the property, the amount of furniture, and how the crew will access the building.
Questions about elevator or stair access, truck parking, loading areas, and building restrictions help the team plan the job in advance. Knowing where the truck can park and how furniture needs to be moved out of the condo also helps the crew prepare for the work ahead.
This early coordination matters when moving a full household from a Chicago condo. Rather than leaving access and logistics to be figured out on arrival, the team can account for these details when preparing for the move.
Moving From a Chicago Condo to a Glen Ellyn Home
On moving day, the crew handled the family’s furniture and personal belongings as they moved from the third-floor condo to their new home in Glen Ellyn, Illinois.
The family had a considerable amount of furniture, so careful handling and coordination were important throughout the move. Some belongings also held particular personal value, including their daughter’s things and his wife’s artwork.
Patrick later shared his appreciation for the way the crew treated these items. For families moving out of a condo, knowing that personal belongings are being handled with care can be just as important as getting everything to the new address.
The team completed the entire relocation in 8.5 hours, moving the family from Chicago to Glen Ellyn in a single day.
What the Customer Said
Patrick Panayotov shared this feedback about his experience with the moving crew:
“Very thankful for the care they took with our daughters things and my wifes artwork.”
His comment highlights an important part of a household move. Furniture and boxes are one thing, but family belongings and artwork often need extra attention.
