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.

    Absolutely highly recommend Midwest Moving & Storage! Eric in the office was incredibly reliable and timely with replies, very kind and understanding too! They helped with a last minute move I had to make and made the whole process easy and hands off. They arrived to my apt at 9:15am and were completely done by 11:30. Im also currently storing items at their facility as well. Made the whole process of moving way less stressful!

    We had a really positive experience with Mid West Moving & Storage. Moving from Chicago to Glen Ellyn with a baby under one year old meant we had a lot more than just furniture to think about, and the crew made the entire process feel manageable. They were especially careful with our daughter’s furniture, crib, and belongings, along with several delicate and specialty pieces throughout the house. Everything was wrapped and protected thoroughly, and nothing felt rushed. You could tell they cared about getting our belongings to our new home safely, not just getting the job done quickly. The team was professional, patient, and careful from beginning to end. We would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to other families.

    Mid-west moving has an amazing team of hard workers! Shak and his crew Gary, Nasaa, Battugs and Enkherdene barely even stopped when taking a break in 90 plus degree weather all day! I was sweating, just watching them work. We have moved many of times and this unpack was definitely one of the fastest, cleanest and most courteous of them all. That was 100% due to the team. Even when they ran into mechanical issues with the truck the operations coordinator, Dan was on top of it and very infomative. And Shak called with a 30 minute eta as soon as the truck was back on the road. I can't speak any more highly regarding this team of workers and their professionalism. My house is back to normal and not a mess of boxes! Unfortunately, some of our items did arrive broken, damanged or missing. However, this is the struggle with moving and cannot be attributed to them. There was an entirely different company who packed and loaded at our previous residence. And that they have a claims process to replace these things. If you are thinking about moving and choose Mid-west, using the Shak team!

    "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."
