Estimate and inventory rules
Request a written estimate that is binding or binding-not-to-exceed. A non-binding estimate can legally rise by 10% or more at delivery.
Many Chicago-area crews require a minimum of two labor hours plus a one-hour travel/fuel charge, even for a job that loads in far less time.
Be exact about furniture, garage gear, and heavy antiques. Forgetting large pieces can trigger price increases or leave the crew without enough space or time.
Westmont access and liability
Village codes, condo parking rules, narrow streets, and low branches can lead to long-carry or shuttle charges if a large truck cannot park near the door. Mention elevator restrictions or tight stairwells before the move.
Standard coverage is often $0.60 per pound per item. A broken 30-pound, $1,000 television would be covered for only $18, so full-value protection is worth considering for fragile or expensive belongings.
Plan on cash tips of $15 to $20 for each mover on a half-day and $40+ for a full day.

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 DuPage County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 14% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
