Complete Moving Services in Elmhurst, IL

Mid-West Moving & Storage is a full-service moving company offering solutions for homes, businesses, and specialty relocations. Every plan is built around your timeline, your property, and your expectations.

Residential Moving

Moving a household in Elmhurst calls for preparation, attention to detail, and a team that understands how to handle a variety of home layouts. Before lifting anything, our movers walk the property to understand the best paths for furniture and boxes. We protect floors and entry points, wrap and secure each piece of furniture, prepare fragile items separately, and organize the load so everything arrives in the same condition it left. When we reach your new home, items are placed exactly where you want them, and furniture is reassembled so the space feels ready to settle into.

Office & Commercial Moving

Businesses choose us when they need a structured, well-coordinated move. We plan the layout of the new workspace ahead of time, label and organize equipment, break down and rebuild workstations, and move technology, shelving, and files in an orderly sequence. Whether it’s a professional office, medical suite, retail space, or a growing company adding new staff areas, our movers make sure your workspace is set up correctly so operations can resume quickly.

Apartment, Condo & Dorm Moving

Many Elmhurst buildings have their own guidelines, elevator reservations, or limited entry points. Our team handles these details before the move begins. We prepare the equipment needed for smaller hallways, stairs, or tight turns, and coordinate with building management when required. The result is a move that respects the building’s rules and keeps your items protected throughout the process.

University & College Moving

We support students, faculty, and campus departments with organized moves across dorms, academic buildings, and administrative offices. Our process keeps everything labeled, scheduled, and handled with care so transitions are straightforward and on time.

Long-Distance & Interstate Moving

For moves coming into Illinois or leaving the state, our long-distance division manages packing, loading, routing, and delivery. We prepare your belongings for extended travel, keep you updated at important points, and make sure everything is placed exactly where it belongs once we arrive.

Professional Packing Services

Our packing specialists organize entire homes, individual rooms, or delicate collections using high-quality materials and established packing methods. Items like artwork, electronics, glassware, and family valuables receive added hands-on preparation to ensure safe travel.

Short- & Long-Term Storage

Our secure, climate-controlled storage facility offers flexible options for temporary or extended holding. Belongings remain wrapped, labeled, and organized, making it easy to schedule delivery when your new space is ready.


How Much Does a Move Cost in Elmhurst, IL?

The cost of a move in Elmhurst can vary depending on the size of your home or office, the amount you’re moving, and how each property is set up. Factors like stairways, elevator access, long walking distances, or items that need special handling can also affect pricing.

If you’d like a quick starting point, our free online cost tool gives you an estimate based on a few details you provide. Once we review your move more closely, we put together a clear quote that reflects the actual work required.

What to Expect When You Work With Our Movers

When you choose Mid-West Moving & Storage for your Elmhurst move, you’re working with a team that values preparation, communication, and steady hands-on service. Here’s how we approach every move:

  • A clear plan from the start: We begin by learning the details of your move, reviewing both locations, and identifying anything that needs extra attention. This helps us build a plan that fits your schedule and your space.
  • A confirmed moving day schedule: You’ll know your move time, your crew size, and what to expect before we arrive. We stay in touch leading up to moving day so there are no surprises.
  • A professional, prepared crew: Our movers arrive with the right tools, materials, and equipment for your home or office. Floors, doorways, and high-traffic areas are protected before anything is moved.
  • Careful packing and handling: Whether we’re moving furniture, boxes, or specialty items, each piece is wrapped, secured, and loaded with care. Items that require extra preparation receive added steps to ensure safe transport.
  • Furniture disassembly and setup: Beds, desks, shelving, and larger items are taken apart when needed and reassembled at your new location so the space is move-in ready.
  • Respect for your time and property: Our movers work efficiently and treat your home or business with the same care we’d expect in our own spaces.
  • A walkthrough before we finish: Once everything is placed and set up, we review the move with you to make sure the job is complete and nothing has been overlooked.

Expert Moving Tips for Elmhurst Residents

As professional movers serving Elmhurst for decades, we’ve seen firsthand how proper planning can transform a potentially overwhelming move into a manageable, even enjoyable experience.

  • Start Early and Plan Methodically: One of the biggest mistakes we observe is underestimating the time needed to prepare. Begin your packing and organization at least four to six weeks before moving day. Creating a clear timeline allows you to tackle tasks gradually, avoiding last-minute stress.
  • Declutter Before You Pack: Moving is the perfect opportunity to assess what you really need. Reducing the volume of your belongings saves time, effort, and often money. Elmhurst has many excellent donation centers and recycling programs — we recommend using these resources to responsibly dispose of unwanted items.
  • Label Boxes with Care: Clear, detailed labeling helps not only your movers but also speeds up the unpacking process. Include the room destination and a brief list of contents on each box.
  • Prepare an Essentials Kit: We advise packing a personal essentials box containing items you’ll need immediately — medications, chargers, important documents, and a change of clothes.
  • Professional Packing Is Worth It: Fragile, valuable, or bulky items require special care. Our trained packing specialists use high-quality materials and techniques to protect your belongings during transport.

    Rating 5 5 Star Moving Rating

    "I had a great experience with Midwest. The movers arrived early, set up my entire home with protective pads and flooring, effectively moved all of my home items, and cleaned up afterward. I have actually used them twice. I had different employees each time, but both crews of men were equally prompt, professional, and efficient. I would highly recommend Midwest."

    "The movers did an incredible job! Our second experience with your company is just as wonderful as our first. Your driver is an incredible leader. The rest of the crew was impressive as well. They all worked tirelessly through out the whole time. This move was stressful with the all the school closings and work changes but they made the whole experience much better."
