When we started out, we wanted to streamline the moving process for clients in the Chicagoland area. We felt that the current local industry was inundated with way too many fees and charges and that customers came away feeling like they were being "nickel and dimed" for everything.
What we found was that by building everything into a simple full-service quote system with no additional fees, customers overwhelmingly responded with a unanimous thumbs up.Simple and stress-free, easy to understand, and easily meeting expectations. Three trucks, eight men, finished a 7-bedroom house in 13 hours, AND in under estimate!? Blankenship, you guys are truly amazing!
You treated everything as if it was your own, and paid attention to every minor detail - and the grand piano? I didn't even know that technique existed! Exceptional work, we couldn't be more impressed!

Services
Moving can be one of the most stressful and frustrating experiences any adult will ever have to endure, but with the help of a talented and organized Chicago moving company, you'll have the peace of mind that comes with knowing all your bases are covered. At Blankenship Movers, our highly-trained and extraordinarily capable team has been serving the Chicago area since 1961, and deliver the high-quality service you demand, even on short notice.
Moving is exciting and often marks a new milestone in our lives. But, poor planning or underestimating the time and effort it takes to get the job done can make for an exhausting and frustrating experience. Don't worry! We're here to help. When it comes to the process of moving, a majority of the physical labor involved happens before the big day even arrives.
We found Blankenship via Angie's List. I called Eric to set up out move, and he got us in for our first choice date at the last minute. Others we'd called for an estimate were pushing us out weeks! The crew was awesome. We had a three man crew and they were done with a 3 bedroom house in 3 hours. Awesome work!
An estimate manager will make a pre-move survey of your household goods to be transported. A pre-move survey is needed to determine the approximate cost of a move and the amount of space your goods will occupy. Your estimate manager will compute the approximate cost and give you a written Estimate/Order for Service.

I hired these guys to help me move into a bigger house and they all did an amazing job! Very professional and were very careful to move everything and listened to detail on where to put everything in the new house. They made the move that much easier for us. I would definitely recommend these guys and would hire them again if I ever needed them.

Blankenship movers did a wonderful job! They were polite, professional, timely and took great care of all our furniture and boxes! They even made an extra stop to drop off a sofa at our son’s apt!! And their prices were very competitive even lower than some of the other larger movers. I would highly recommend them and use them again for our next move!!

They were fantastic. They moved us from a third floor apartment to a home about a half hour away and did an awesome job. They were upfront and honest from the quote all the way to the end of the move. Didn’t break anything, kept everything wrapped, and even made sure none of the new paint on our new home was damaged. They are very professional and communicative. I would recommend these guys to everyone.

We were very pleased with our moving crew! These guys moved 2 trucks full of furniture, boxes and everything you can imagine and had it done in less than 12 hours. That includes the nearly 2 hour drive to get to our new address. We were so impressed with how they handled our belongings! I would definitely recommend them to everyone! Great price and even greater service!!

We moved my mother from one assisted living residence to another. These guys were very understanding of this special circumstance and were great at recognizing the high anxiety level of mom. They were very good at communicating throughout the whole process (from getting estimate to move day). The moving crew was great—careful and fast. This was the 3rd time we've used Blankenship Movers...each time was smooth and uneventful (just how we like it!). Highly recommended!

USE THESE MOVERS 😀 👍
From the first time I talked with Kevin at Blankenship I was very impressed by his kindness , professionalism, and courtesy!
They gave me the best bid out of all the movers that I had called. So, I felt very confident to schedule the date for them to move me.
Over the couple weeks I had turned to them with many questions and Kevin, Sean, and Lou were very very helpful and provided answers to any questions I had and provided me with any additional information I needed to know. And, they were very pleasant, friendly and polite as well as professional!

We had an excellent moving experience thanks to Blankenship Movers. They sent 3 movers who were professional, efficient, and friendly. Everything they moved was carefully wrapped and handled. There was no breakage, and the guys did not leave until making certain that we were completely satisfied. Without hesitation I would use Blankenship again, and would recommend them to anybody I know who wants a professional painless move.

I was told 3 men and truck could move my 3 bedroom house in 5 hours. The crew was fantastic and never stopped. It was a 9.5 hour job and DOUBLE the price. Would never recommend again. When I called with complaint I was told it was only a quote, it could go over some. Yes, I would have been okay with 1-2 hours but almost DOUBLE???? Again, not the crew….a BIG under quote by the company. Would never recommend!!!!

From the time they got there there was a conflict as far as the travel time. I was promised and signed a contract for one hour travel time and Pablo insisted it was going to be two hours. Pablo, Drew, and Drew were like bulls in a China shop. An easy chair was ripped, the leg of the Buffet was splintered in half, and substantial damage was made to the corner of a wall in my new building. I didn’t realize they had done the damage to the wall until my landlord contacted me. I was quite embarrassed that I did not know about it and nobody had mentioned it. When I called Pablo about it he said he
