Movers in Wheaton, IL

Local House Moves

Our local movers handle house moves all over Wheaton, from older homes near downtown to houses off Roosevelt Road and Butterfield Road. Weekday rates start at $135 an hour for two movers and a truck. Most 3-bedroom houses need four movers, which runs $225 an hour.

Apartment and High-Rise Moves

Wheaton Center, downtown, has 758 apartments in two 20-story towers and four mid-rise buildings. For apartment moves there or anywhere else in town, ask building management about elevator use and move-in rules, then share them when you request a quote. A 1-bedroom apartment usually takes three movers 3 to 5 hours, or $555 to $925 at weekday rates.

Packing and Unpacking

Many older Wheaton houses sit on basements, and basements tend to fill up over the years. Our packing service can box the whole house or just the rooms you don’t have time for. Full packing for a 3-bedroom house takes about 8.5 hours of labor, or $1,573, plus about $1,010 in boxes and materials.

Storage Between Closings

Storage helps when your Wheaton closing date and your move-in date don’t line up. Storage vaults cost $110 a month each, or $85 a month when you store for 6 months or more. A 3-bedroom house fills about 8 vaults. Climate-controlled storage is also available.

Pianos, Safes, and Hot Tubs

Heavy items get a set fee on top of the hourly rate. Piano moving is $100 for an upright and $250 for a grand or baby grand. A gun safe is $100, and a hot tub or pool table is $600.

Office and Store Moves

We move offices, clinics, and shops in downtown Wheaton, along Roosevelt Road and Geneva Road, and in centers like Danada Square and Rice Lake Square. Our commercial movers can work after hours or on weekends, so you can stay open.

Hourly Rates and Travel Fees

Weekend and peak-season dates cost a little more per hour.

Typical Cost by Home Size

These are planning estimates at weekday rates, not a quote. They cover mover and truck time only, before the travel fee and any add-ons.

What Changes the Number

The biggest factors are how much you own, how far the truck parks from your door, and the date. Stairs cost $75 per flight. Carries longer than 75 feet add $75 for each extra 50 feet. Disconnecting and reconnecting an appliance is $250 per appliance.

No Street Parking From 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.

Wheaton bans parking on all city streets from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. unless the police approve it ahead of time. If a car needs to stay on the street the night before your move, file an overnight parking request on the city website at least one hour before 2 a.m. Each household can file up to three requests in 30 days.

Snow Bans Start at 2 Inches

After 2 inches of snow, parking is banned on every Wheaton street for 24 hours or until the plows finish. Overnight requests are not granted then either. For a winter move, keep the driveway and front walk clear so we can get the truck and dollies close.

Moving Containers Go on the Driveway

Wheaton does not require a permit for a portable storage container at a house. The container has to sit on your driveway or another hard surface, never on the street. One unit is allowed per property, for no more than 30 days in a calendar year.

Raised Entries and Deep Lots on the Northside

Homes on Wheaton’s Northside were built from the 1830s to the 1970s. Many sit up on basements with raised front entries, and houses on large lots are often set far back from the street. Tell us about steps and the walk to the curb when you ask for a quote, so the stair and long-carry fees are in it from the start.

College Move-In and Graduation Weekends

Wheaton College sits just east of downtown. New students arrive in mid-August, and commencement weekend comes in early May. If you live near campus, check the college calendar before you pick a moving date.

We hold U.S. DOT No. 872553 and IL MC1035. These allow us to move households in Wheaton and across Illinois.

Our nearest office is in Lisle, at 3333 E Warrenville Rd, Suite 200. It is a short drive from Wheaton.
