Movers in Cicero, IL

Every Cicero move starts with a walkthrough, not a guess: Jamal maps the load order and building access before crew day, so what lands on your invoice matches what actually happens on the truck.

This goes directly to Michelle, no forwarding, no queue — she or Desmond calls back the same day to get your Chicago move on the calendar and flag anything worth a closer look at the walkthrough.

Cicero is dense — blocks of bungalows and two-flats packed close together along streets like Cicero Avenue and Ogden, most built with an alley in back instead of a driveway, which is usually where the truck actually loads. Street parking on moving day can mean claiming a spot the night before or working around a narrow gangway instead of a wide front lawn. Checkmate has worked Cicero long enough that Jamal Whitfield walks in already thinking about which alley the truck fits down and whether a couch is coming out the back door instead of the front. Ogden Avenue and the Eisenhower keep the drive from the Fulton Street office short, so a walkthrough here isn’t a half-day trip.

Two movers: $145/hr. Three: $185/hr. Four: $225/hr. Each additional mover: $50/hr.

Cicero Rates, Straight Up

$145/hr for two movers, $185/hr for three, $225/hr for four. Prefer a firm number over doing the math yourself? Jamal will walk the place and hand you one in writing.

No two Cicero homes load the same way, which is the whole reason Jamal sees a place before crew size gets locked in. Every job carries basic released-value protection at no cost, your $175 deposit comes straight off the final bill, and a fifth mover and beyond runs $50/hr each.

Cicero Move Questions, Answered

Can your truck fit down a Cicero alley to load from the back?
Usually, and the walkthrough checks alley width and access before crew day so there's no guessing on moving day.
Do you move bungalows and two-flats with narrow gangways?
Yes, it's a common building type in Cicero and it gets planned for at the estimate, not improvised on the spot.
How quickly can a Cicero move be scheduled?
The office is a short drive off the Eisenhower, so same-day and next-day moves are available when the timeline is tight.

Every Move Planned Before The First Box Does.

Furniture placement, load order, and building access get worked out at the walkthrough, before anyone touches a box on moving day. Desmond Hale started Checkmate Movers in 2013 after eight years running crews for a franchise that never planned a job in advance, and watched the same couch get carried up the same stairs twice because of it.
