FAQ – What People Ask Before Moving a House in Chicago
How far in advance should I book a house move in Chicago?
For full-service moves like this, we recommend 2–3 weeks notice, especially if you’re moving on a weekend or at the end of the month.
Do you offer packing, or should we do it ourselves?
Both! We offer full or partial packing. For large homes, full packing saves time and stress — and ensures everything is protected.
Can you move furniture from the second floor without damaging walls or stairs?
Yes. We use protective wrap + soft corner pads + floor runners, and lift in pairs to avoid bumps or scrapes.
How long does a full house move usually take?
Most two-story house moves take 6–10 hours depending on size, layout, and distance. We bring enough movers to finish in one day.
Are you insured and licensed in Illinois?
Absolutely. We’re fully licensed for local and intrastate moves in Illinois. Your items are protected from the moment we arrive.

Whether you’re moving from Logan Square to Elmhurst, or relocating your family from Lakeview to Skokie, our goal is simple: do it right, the first time. With ACM Movers, you get more than just a truck — you get peace of mind.
