Why Choose Us
Planning
We understand that being a commercial mover requires recognizing the needs of the individual business owner, planning the move, communicating the plan to the client, and providing the necessary manpower and equipment to handle the job within your timetable.
Man Power
There will be a foreman on every commercial move who will direct the operation and makes sure you are satisfied. More importantly, instead of hiring day laborers, we only deploy professional movers with many years of experience.
Equipment
We provide all vehicles and equipment necessary to protect not only our clients’ furnishings and equipment but also the buildings that we work in. Our team makes extensive use of protective and time-saving materials as well as moving equipment, such as:
Office
Our staff will work with your current and new office landlords to find out what type of floor and building protection will be required and what insurance requirements they want to be verified. We then collaborate with our insurance carriers to obtain certificates of insurance to add our clients to our policies as one of our insured.
Because we know what is required for an office move from the inside out, Low Cost Movers, INC will work hard to finish the moving process quickly so that you can keep your business moving. Your office furnishings, files, and computers will be handled carefully and efficiently, and your new business location will begin working practically before the old one stops.

That minimal disruption of your business operations translates into substantial savings.

Home Staging
Home staging has always been part of the homeowner's responsibility. Until recently, it was often looked upon as simply keeping the grass cut and picking up dirty clothes. The seller's real estate agent would recommend certain specific actions if the owners were clueless about things that turn off potential buyers. However, the recent recession turned real estate into a buyer's market. Nowadays, sellers need to look for any advantage to make their property stand out and sell. That's where home staging comes in.
The Value of Home Staging
Research shows that proper home staging can reduce a listing's time on the market by 30% to 50% and could increase the sale price by as much as 20% as compared to an empty home or a home not properly staged.
What Sets Us Apart
Low Cost Movers, INC works with homeowners, interior decorators, and professional home stagers. We are regularly called upon to perform in-house moves to maximize a home's marketability and sales appeal.
We sometimes remove furniture and household goods from a house, townhome, or condominium, and place it into the storage area to clear out clutter and create the illusion of more space in the client’s home. Often, professional home stagers have an inventory of furniture that they lend their clients to get the property sold. Many home stagers rent furniture on a short-term basis to make a home look more appealing.
Most successful home stagers have multiple staging assignments at the same time, which requires that their inventory of staging furniture be on the move fairly often. Just as soon as the owner signs a contract of sale, the professional stager moves their home staging furniture to another location or back into storage, ready for the next assignment.
Al Low Cost Movers, INC, we have the right equipment and properly trained crews to handle those assignments promptly and in a cost-effective manner. We work with many home staging professionals who employ us regularly to handle their home staging needs because we accomplish every task on time and within budget. We also work directly with homeowners who need to do in-house moving or have us bring in rental furniture. Call us for a free estimate, and see why we are Chicagoland's most popular home staging mover.
Reserved Parking
Picture these two different scenarios. First, your moving truck arrives only to find no parking space big enough for it and must double park in the middle of the street or in an alley behind your building. Second, your moving truck arrives and slides right into a reserved parking space directly in front of your residence.
If you have a reserved parking space directly in front of your residence, your move is more efficient, takes less time, and costs you less. The secret is to have Low Cost Movers, INC take care of the paperwork, payment of the permit fees, and completion of Chicago insurance requirements. A reserved parking area for our truck(s) must be obtained through the City of Chicago in advance of your scheduled move.
The permit must be ordered through our office at least 85 business hours before the move. The City of Chicago will then place ‘no parking’ signs at the address of the permit.
Your cost for a reserved parking permit is $75 per day for the first truck, plus an additional $25 per day for a second truck. These costs are never refundable. In addition to the permit cost, the City of Chicago may seek to collect lost revenue when the permitted area is within a paybox (meter) area. The exact charges will vary. In the “business district,” the cost can be as much as an additional $150 per day. Alternatively, you and a friend can park two cars in legal spaces on the street in order to "save" a large parking spot for the truck and then move your cars when the truck arrives.
You can also apply for a reserved parking permit yourself. Simply look up who the alderman is in our area in the Ward/Zone Lookup. You can apply for a parking permit through them, usually at no charge.
