Moving Companies in Round Lake Beach, IL
Round Lake Beach’s mix of single-family neighborhoods, townhomes, and apartments means parking distance, stairs, and hallway access often shape a move as much as mileage. Local estimates usually pair an hourly crew-and-truck rate with a one-time start-up or fuel charge, so confirm the billing clock before booking.
Local move price points
| Move type or fee | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Hourly rate, 2–3 movers plus truck | $95–$175 |
| One-time start-up or fuel fee | $270–$330 |
| Studio or 1-bedroom total | $300–$600 |
| 2-bedroom home total | $700–$1,400 |
| 3-to-4-bedroom home total | $1,000–$3,000+ |
For hourly work, the clock generally begins when the crew arrives and keeps running through unloading, and some companies also count return travel time under a double-drive rule; ask where billing starts and stops. Because of the local housing mix, a truck that cannot park near the door, long hallways, multiple flights, or a tight elevator can add a long-carry or stair fee.
Basic carrier liability is often limited to $0.60 per pound per item, meaning a broken 50-pound television would be covered for only $30. Full Value Protection is worth discussing for expensive electronics or furniture. Movers also cannot take certain household items such as propane tanks, house paint, bleach, aerosols, and open cleaning supplies; plan to move those in your own vehicle.
Tipping is customary but optional: about $4 to $6 per mover per hour, or roughly 15%–20% of the total job, split among the crew in cash at the end. Use the directory below to compare options for your move.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Lake County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 23% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
