Kolovitz Movers

Moved us today and they were great! Super professional, respectful, yet still very funny and enjoyable! All of our stuff was delivered in one piece and not broken. Great job!

They helped me move my 88 year old Moms place which was no easy task John Kolovitz was the supervisor of the move and was extremely hands on and very patient with me It wasn’t organized since I had a hard time coming to terms with my Father’s recent death but John was great Very kind and never said a word about just how messy it was Just got it done! The other two guys were great too

I hired Kolovitz due to Unilocal reviews and they surpassed my expectations! A shout out to John, Brad, Bill, and Eric, the crew who worked on my move. Nothing was damaged, they worked hard, and they were quite funny and entertaining! The owner, Kevin, took time to talk with me a few times before the move, answered all of my questions, and followed through. Extremely reliable!

I used Kolovitz Movers to transport my things from Naperville to Oak Park. This was by far the easiest move I’ve ever had. I was delighted by the professionalism of the crew and the quality of service I received. The job was finished much more quickly than I expected, which was a direct benefit to my wallet. The movers were very careful to ensure that my items were not damaged or soiled during transport, including my king sized Tempurpedic bed which is a nightmare to handle! I highly recommend Kolovitz to anyone looking for a smooth move. Thank you!!!

Moving is a pain! The discomfort, however, can be lessened by working with Kolovitz Movers. Our move from River North to Lakeshore as went smoothly due to these skillful professionals. A fragile family heirloom china set and glassware was packed, handled, and delivered with due care as were the rest of our belongings. Promptness and courtesy count a lot during a stressful time and we praise this company highly.

The owner called me back quickly to schedule a date/​time for my move. It is a busy season for them in April but they were able to accommodate a date change for me which I appreciated. The four movers arrived promptly and rang my doorbell on the day of the move at 8:00a.m. They were quick and efficient and got everything loaded and ready to go to my new place. The unloading was even more efficient as they asked where everything needed to go and put it in the right place. All of the guys were friendly, professional and very hard working. Moving is not a pleasant experience but Kolovitz took care of everything and I have no complaints at all. Kolovitz will be the first company I call for my next move.

I used Kolovitz movers for the first time on 03÷28÷13. They came as a recommendation from a friend who had a lot of friends in the real estate business and they recommended them. I have to say that I could not have been happier with my move. Kevin, the owner of the company, called me and personally set up my move. He also accommodated me when I had to change dates. From the moment the movers arrived, they were very professional. They handled my items with care and worked quickly to get my condo loaded up on the truck. At my new condo, they asked where I wanted each piece of furniture and even offered to unpack certain items. I have gone through more moves than I can possible count over the last 20 years b/​c of my career and I have to say this was one of the best. I would highly recommended Kolovitz and I would definitely use them again.

We moved last weekend with the stellar help of Kolovitz Movers! This is our third move using Kolovitz and, obviously, we think they do great work. The team that moved our gear was super efficient, friendly and, unbelievably, managed to smile and joke throughout a rough day (we lived on a third floor and moved into a townhouse with four floors!). Never a complaint, warm with a helpful attitude, the Kolovitz team is highly recommend for any moving needs (we recommended them to a friend for a piano move and they were thrilled as well). Moving isn’t fun, but having good movers makes a big difference!

I can’t say enough about Kolovitz Movers. From setting up the appointment to execution on the day of the move, everything went smoothly. As anyone who has purchased a home knows, moving your possessions from home to another is extremely stressful on top of all the other things going on.
Kevin and his team made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. I really appreciated how careful and concerned each of the movers was with all of my things. The movers wrapped and double wrapped all of my furniture to ensure it would arrive safely to my new home.
I would even think twice about calling Kolovitz again for all my moving needs! A+++

Kolovitz Movers is the quintessential small business. I used them for both a personal and business move, and I wouldn’t ask anyone else to move my things. Very trustworthy and professional, but with a personal touch. I have dealt with movers before that I had to essentially supervise, but with Kolovitz, I had full faith that they were not only working hard, but working carefully. Thank you!

I read the reviews posted here and saw that everyone was pleased with the movers, so I decided to give them a call. Despite what other people wrote, the phone was answered. I didn’t have to wait for a call back. The man I spoke to was business-​like; not unpleasant. I scheduled a move after I was given adequate information about pricing. I’m looking forward to excellent service!

I did not understand why people give this company 4 – 5 stars. When I found this moving company and called him to ask questions, the person who answered was very arrogant and rude. I asked him to email quotation but he never did, and I just did not feel confident to do business with this moving company.
When I emailed other moving companies for estimation and questions, they answered very quick and helpful.

Absolutely the best movers! I have used them for years and have never been disappointed. These movers are dependable, careful and honest. The prices are very fair and no matter what I have needed: they come through! Today I needed them to move furniture for my elderly mother. The furniture was carefully wrapped. Not a bump or chip ! The fine men treated my mom like she was family! Give them a try!

We used these guys to move us from a 5BR Victorian into a little 3^rd floor apartment and also into a storage space. They were fantastic, helpful, friendly, fast and efficient. They’d ask for directions (should we take this? where would you like this?), asked if we needed help moving things around/​repositioning them in the apartment, and the way the storage facility was organized is wonderful (labels out, the stuff we wanted near the front at the front). The professionalism, camaraderie and teamsmanship among the guys gentled the atmosphere. It was a difficult couple of days, and they made it much, much easier than it might’ve been. We’ll use them again, and highly recommend them.

Having moved more times than I ever thought I would, this was by far as good as moving gets. Moving is never easy, but Kolovitz made it almost fun — great, friendly, trustworthy crew, who packed and moved us. Nothing damaged, on-​schedule (though I was skeptical) and Kevin maintained great communication throughout the process. Oh — even came in a bit under the bid! We tipped the entire crew — we will DEFINITELY use them in our next move. Don’t know what else to say — still in shock from having such a positive moving experience! Thanks, Kevin and crew!!!

Fantastic! Friendly, speedy, VERY careful. They came in below their estimate. They did everything right. I probably won’t move again, but if I was I would use them.

Wonderful guys! They took everything, even plants in boxes w/​o lids. They kept asking, «Do you want us to take this?» And I’d say, «Sure!» They carefully wrapped every piece of furniture, treating my furniture better than I do. At my new location, they placed everything where I asked them to. Being careful takes this took longer than I’d expected so what I thought might be a 4 hour job turned out to be 5 ½, but it was worth it and I’d use them again.

I hired Kolovitz because I was moving to Oak Park (it’s local for them) and I was really worried about hiring movers since every large moving company seems to have both a ton of good and a ton of terrible reviews. Since these guys are local and locally owned, I figured they’d be more accountable and I’d heard that they hired local guys for the movers.
When moving day came, we got a crew of 4 people. All of them were indeed local 20somethings (3 from Oak Park and one from Berwyn), no day laborers. They all knew what they were doing and worked steadily loading the truck down 2 flights of stairs. They weren’t rushing, but paced themselves well. Even so, they were totally soaked with sweat by the time the truck was loaded (4 hours). After an un-​clocked lunch break, they arrived at our new place and unloaded in just over 2 hours, making sure to ask us where we wanted things, especially the big furniture so we wouldn’t have to rearrange it ourselves.
One thing I liked was that they charge by an hourly rate and use 15 minute increments. They were honest about the time they took for lunch (45 minutes I think it was) and only charged 45 minutes for travel time when I think it probably was a bit more.
At the end of the day, our stuff was moved safely and without hassle and we had no damaged items. I highly recommend Kolovitz for anyone worried about their moving experience.

These guys are the real deal. They’re based out of Oak Park and will charge you for the travel time to and from which adds up. They have a 2 hour minimum which is standard. The movers were nice, whenever they weren’t sure about how I wanted something they asked, never assumed. They sent 4 guys for my move (I just moved from one floor to another in the same building) and the owner even came out for a little while to help. I had 4 rooms of furniture and 40 boxes/​bins of stuff and it took them just under 2 hours. The guys who work for them have been with them for years, not just day-​players. They work well together and were a lot of fun — and they didn’t even tease me about how many shoes I have :)
