5.0
I have used Windy City Movers for my last three moves in Chicago. Both the moving crew and the in-office staff are great! They wrapped all my items, moved them carefully, and were attentive.

The Story Begins
Chicago native Anthony George founded Windy City Movers in 1982 with his family — starting with one truck, hard work, and an unshakeable belief that every customer deserved honest, careful service. What began as a family operation quickly earned a reputation built on trust and dedication.

Supporting Cancer Research
In the 1990s, Windy City Movers expanded its commitment beyond moving. Recognizing the importance of giving back, the company donated a portion of proceeds and participated in fundraising events to support cancer research and awareness. This commitment to community solidified our reputation as a company that cares about something bigger than business.
