Service Areas — Chicago Metro

Chicago and the Cook, DuPage, and Lake County suburbs, planned the same way no matter which zip code.

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.

Checkmate Movers covers Chicago and the surrounding suburbs across three counties — Cook, DuPage, and Lake. Wherever the job is, the process is the same: a walkthrough first, then a crew that already knows the load order and the building access before move day.

Cities and suburbs

  • Chicago — from Logan Square walk-ups to high-rises in the Loop, elevator windows and stairwells mapped before crew day.
  • Oak Park — narrow lots and century-old homes near the historic district, load plans built around tight driveways and older doorframes.
  • Evanston — lakefront blocks and streets near Northwestern, permit parking and move-in windows worked out ahead of time.
  • Naperville — Riverwalk-area homes and newer subdivisions alike, crews sized to the job at the walkthrough.
  • Schaumburg — corporate relocations and family homes near Woodfield, commercial and residential moves both on the schedule.
  • Cicero — dense bungalow blocks where load order on a narrow street actually matters.
  • Berwyn — classic Chicago bungalows and two-flats, stairwell routes planned before the truck arrives.
  • Skokie — close-in moves near the Edens with crews that know the local traffic patterns.
  • Elmhurst — DuPage County homes and condos, walkthroughs scheduled around your closing date.

Counties

  • Cook County — Chicago and the close-in suburbs, our home base and where most of our local moves happen.
  • DuPage County — Naperville, Elmhurst, and Wheaton, with crews familiar with the tollway routes between them.
  • Lake County — Waukegan, Highland Park, Deerfield, and Libertyville, covered on the same hourly rates as the rest of the metro.

Every line below is a job actually on the board for Chicago and the surrounding Cook, DuPage, and Lake County suburbs this week — most stay inside Cook, DuPage, and Lake counties, with a handful running up toward Milwaukee or down toward Indianapolis. Michelle builds the week’s schedule from our office on West Fulton Street, and crew chief Tomasz is the one who turns it into truck assignments.

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.
