Mid-West Moving & Storage is a licensed Skokie moving company serving homeowners, renters and businesses across the village since 1983. From brick bungalows off Dempster Street to condo buildings near Old Orchard and offices along Skokie Boulevard, our movers in Skokie plan each move around the building, the parking and your schedule.
Every move starts with a written estimate, done in your home, by live video with a relocation manager, or from a video you record on your phone.

Residential Moving Services in Skokie
Skokie’s homes are older on average than the suburbs farther out, and that shapes how a move goes. Many brick bungalows and Georgians have narrow staircases, tight landings and finished basements. Ranches and split-levels are easier to load, but they often hold more furniture than people expect. We review stairways, door widths and basement contents during the estimate, so the right crew and truck show up on moving day.
Our local movers pad and wrap your furniture and protect floors and door frames. They also take apart beds, dining tables and sectionals that won’t fit through older doorways, then put them back together in your new home.
Condo and Apartment Moves
Skokie has a large number of condominium and rental buildings, especially near Old Orchard and along the main corridors. Most require a certificate of insurance that names the building or association as the certificate holder. Many also want an elevator reservation and a move within set hours.
Contact your property manager about a week before your move and send us their details. We’ll deliver the certificate directly and schedule your move to fit the building’s rules. Our apartment movers handle elevator moves, loading docks and long hallway carries every week
Office and Commercial Moving in Skokie
Skokie is a business hub as well as a residential suburb, with offices, medical practices, research tenants at the Illinois Science + Technology Park, and retail along Old Orchard Road and Touhy Avenue. Our office movers coordinate with one contact at your company to plan the order of the move, label by department, and relocate workstations, files and IT equipment.
Evening and weekend moves are available, so your team can close on Friday and open in the new space on Monday.
Long-Distance Moving From Skokie
With the Edens Expressway running through the village, Skokie has direct access to the Chicago expressway system and the interstates beyond. We’re federally licensed for interstate household goods moves and provide long-distance moving across Illinois and the U.S. Storage-in-transit is available if your closing dates don’t line up.
Before any interstate move, get your estimate in writing and ask whether it’s binding. Under federal rules, a mover can’t collect more than 110% of a non-binding estimate at delivery. The FMCSA’s Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move explains estimates, valuation coverage and claims.
Packing, Specialty Items and Storage
We offer full packing and partial packing, for example just the kitchen, the china or the artwork. Pianos, antiques and high-value pieces receive custom crating or extra protection.
If you need time between homes, we’ll keep your belongings in our secure storage facility and deliver them when you’re ready.
