Services
The story of Century Moving begins with the story of the company's founder, Bob Fleming, who took a summer job as a mover while going to college. Bob graduated with a degree in teaching but after a short stint in the classroom, he returned to the moving industry. When an opportunity arose to buy a small, underdeveloped moving company, Bob snatched it up.
Bob was a mover while in college, studying education. After working as a teacher, he returned to moving and opened up Century on tax day in 1976. Ever since, he has steadily grown the number of trucks, services, and employees offered by the company, and given back to the industry with leadership on the boards of the Illinois Mover's and Warehousemens' Association as well as the American Moving & Storage Association.
As a company, Century Moving believes in giving back to the community. We have assisted the community and various local charities with donations and in-kind services. We also regularly participate in helping feed the hungry. Volunteering at the Northern Illinois Food Bank, including staged, grocery store parking lot food drives to benefit them.
For the past 45 years, Century has moved over sixty thousand families in the Chicagoland area. Our moving family is familiar with your community, as we have built solid relationships within these towns. We might even be your neighbor. We not only do the heavy lifting; we are committed to the success of your move.
We understand that making a long-distance move can be overwhelming, so we bring peace of mind to our customers by demonstrating our attention to every critical detail. We have moved thousands of families cross country over our four decades in business. We manage your move completely, from the time you meet with our moving manager, to the time we place the last item in your new home, 1,000 miles away.

We moved recently from Wheaton to Winfield. Century Moving had the most reasonable of the prices. A representative came to our home and walked through our house to find out every service they provided. They gave us all the boxes we needed and just ask us to return and recycle them when they were empty. Janis (sp?) answered every question on the phone and contacted me about all details. They are located in Lombard and its a family-run company and so there is a lot of warmth when you speak to someone on the phone.

Century Moving was referred to us by our Real Estate agent for our move from Naperville, IL to Bluffton, SC. Our move was scheduled for Monday, June 7, 2021. The plan was for the movers to arrive at 9:00 a.m. They did not show up until 6:00 p.m.

I rarely write reviews but I really feel this is warranted and deserved. We used Century Lombard twice within the past 3 months for two large moves (from a 6000sq ft house to a 10,000sq ft house). We moved a lot of furniture in the initial move and left the rest for staging, hence two moves. The crew showed up in a clean professional truck. We have a lot of heavy furniture that needed to be moved up a tricky stairs. I could hear and see the stress of the load on the crew as they hoisted and lifted the very big pieces up a winding stairs but they did it with care and enthusiasm. These guys are

Very smooth and on time move. The staff was great to work with and followed up before the move. The movers were very friendly, fast and careful with our things. They even put everything where we asked and out furniture and beds together and even loaded the clothes that were on hangars from the wardrobe boxes into the closets. Excellent service, local, and would highly recommend.

The guys were quick and efficient but I wouldn't get them for packing unless you are doing the full move with them. They didn't care about my stuff since it wasn't going on their trailer. Didn't wrap many items they should have, crammed stuff in without wrapping properly. Lots of my furniture had scratches/scrapes in it and a few broken things. The other guys unloading the truck at my new place kept calling me to show me items before they touched them that were broken or scratched up. Or just to show me how it was packed so I could see how the damage was done to it. Overall

They broke my 65" LED TV. When the woman walked around my house and gave my quote she said the TVs would be boxed and secured. When they took it off the truck I saw that the only packing they did was put a thin pad over it. When they removed the pad it was apparent that there was a huge crack in the screen. The TV is useless now. The owner came out and looked at it. The next day he said they would refund me $460 on a TV that cost me $2600. I was specifically told before the move how they would pack it, that was not done, and their negligence cost me my TV.

Sent a request to get a moving quote and got a response right away needing a bit more info. Was told I'd get a quote from Megan. Never received an email with the quote 3 days later so I sent another message to the owner on yelp and he apologized, but said Megan will get the quote to me ASAP. 6 days later, still nothing. A bit ridiculous how long and difficult it takes to get a quote when all of the other moving companies I looked at gave me a quote in 1 day.

I had scheduled an estimate a few weeks ago. A few hours before the estimate, I receive a phone call telling me they had to cancel and wouldn't be showing up. This was an issue because I had taken a day off to get the estimate. They weren't sympathetic and just said they would call back the next day to re-schedule. 2 weeks later, I have not heard from them again.

The move was okay. Nothing was damaged though I felt my study table which looks normal but is ridiculously expensive (standing desk) was handle casually (put on its side and not placed properly). Nothing to protect the floors at destination which had hardwood floors - May be I could have asked, but they were so slow, I didn't wanted to ask anything and delay further.
One of the movers was really slow. Clearly doing quarter of the work. He literally called himself "Senior Citizen". I felt bad for the other guy who did all the work because later the tip was split in half. Because

Century Moving was recommended to me by a fellow Realtor, and I could not be happier. The ladies were very nice/communicative in regards to scheduling. The estimate was pretty spot on too esp. for what we had them help us do. This review is mainly for Ronnie though. Ronnie; the man, the myth, the legend. He has a great work ethic, and is detailed orientated when it came to moving our furniture. I definitely recommend this moving company because I feel like they are really looking out for your best interest.

Thank you Ronnie and the entire crew who moved us out of our old home and into our new Schaumburg home. We were lucky and got the same crew on both moves. We packed up our things the day before our home was sold and the company held the truck overnight and moved us in the following day.
From the initial estimate process to the end, everyone in this company is professional, understanding, and on time.
We went from a 5,000 sqft home and into a 3000 sqft home so you can imagine we had alot of boxes and random items.
First day took 8 hours to move out and the Second day took 5 hours to move in.

Century Movers gave us wonderful service for our move. Their price was competitive and service was outstanding. The team communicated and worked directly with us all day and were committed to getting it done to our expectations. They were friendly and professional and worked crazy hard all day. Our move was to a temporary home and will be hiring them again for our next move in a couple of months.

These mover is great! We got quotes from four movers, they were not the lowest (Always toss the lowest and highest) but less than the other two, and they were great! We moved from Chicago Northshore to near Kalamazoo MI, little more than half a trailer load. This is a family owned/operated company and agent for BEKINS. There was no flimflam shell game about the quote, mileage, extra charges, whatever. They showed up on time, the driver was great to work with and the workers worked their butt off. Moving is the last thing on most peoples wish list, BUT if you are moving from Chicago area Illinois

Proceed with caution. They were great about scheduling last minute and they had a good sized truck but beware of the time it will take. It took these guys over 6 hours hours to move my modest sized house after I got almost everything but large furniture in the garage prior to their arrival. They also indicated it would take them an hour less for the unload but that also took just as long. So at 12 full hours, you can imagine my sticker shock (it exceeded their walk-through estimate dramatically).
Other issues was the reassembling of furniture; several screws missing from my son's bunk-beds

Thank you Jorge, Ronnie and the entire crew of 5 guys who moved us this past weekend.
The whole team was absolutely amazing, polite and very careful with our belongings.
We had some very heavy items and antiques that they took great care of.
The crew worked non stop except when I insisted they get some lunch in them and eat from the sandwich tray I picked up. We had a long day but they kept at it. Took us 10.5 hours from pickup and packing the trucks to the new house 20 miles away for unloading and placing in all of our rooms.
I highly recommend and my sincerest thanks to the GUYS! You were

I am updating my previous 1-star review to reflect a partial refund the owner gave me after my complaints. I appreciate the concern they had with my experience and efforts they made to make things better. I still stand by my prior review - With my main issue being the exceptionally slow pace at which they worked.
It took over 5 hours for 3 movers to move a 2 bedroom with 2 couches, 2 small tables and no boxes 1.5 miles away (my wife and I had previously moved all clothes / dishes / electronics / art etc). I paid less with 2 men and a truck a year ago and that was a move that was 35 miles
