Cook County is home to more than five million people, and Checkmate Movers works nearly all of it — from graystones on the West Side to the high-rises along Michigan Avenue to single-family streets in Oak Park, Evanston, Skokie, Cicero, Berwyn, and Schaumburg. Chicago is the county seat, and it’s also where our trucks live, so most Cook County jobs start and end within a short drive of our West Fulton warehouse.
What changes block to block isn’t the crew, it’s the plan. A third-floor walk-up in Cicero loads different than a freight elevator building downtown, and a bungalow in Berwyn with a narrow gangway loads different than a Schaumburg two-story with a three-car driveway. At the walkthrough, Desmond or Jamal work out furniture placement, load order, and building access before a single box moves, so the truck backs in already knowing where everything goes.
Nine trucks, our own crews, no subcontractors — the same team whether the move is four blocks or across the county line.
Cook County 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 Cook County 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.
