Moving to Evanston is a different beast than moving within Chicago. Between strict municipal codes and Northwestern move-in madness, we have the specialized approach you need.
I had to move my house within one week and this company was so efficient and clean about the time constraint. The staff was extremely kind and considerate, especially Henry, who spoke and contacted me directly regarding my concerns. The company is so customer-centric. The team works so well together and gets the job done no matter what. I love them!
We used comfort moving on a pretty large move into a single family home based off of a flyer in our neighborhood. Mateo, Henry and Junior were a delight to work with and absolutely amazing movers and an extremely fair price. We would recommend them to anyone in Chicago looking to support a local business and looking for lovely, hard working and insured movers. We truly couldn’t have asked for a more seamless move.
I’d been dreading this move after a bad experience in the past, but I kept passing these guys' flyers around the city and took it as a sign—no pun intended! From start to finish, Mateo and Henry went above and beyond to make this move easy for me. They were straightforward, reliable, and took great care with my things. It was a huge relief to simply hand over my key fob and watch them handle everything so smoothly and efficiently. I always prefer supporting local businesses, and Mateo and Henry made me feel like family. I’ll definitely be calling them again in the future! Thanks again guys! :)
I recently moved and needed assistance. I was referred to comfort moving by a friend, and was incredibly pleased with my experience. The professionalism and enthusiasm of the movers made the experience so much more comforting. Very reliable and funny guys. Will definitely recommend to all my friends and family!!!

Moving to Evanston is a different beast than moving within Chicago. Between the strict municipal codes, Northwestern University’s move-in madness, and the heavy foliage of the "City of Churches," your move requires a specialized approach.
Whether you’re settling into a stately Victorian near the Lakefront or a modern mid-rise in Downtown Evanston, here is what you need to know to avoid fines and headaches.
We handle the logistics of the permit for you, or guide you through the 48-hour posting requirement.
We know the "September 1st Rush" gridlock near Sherman Ave and Orrington Ave and plan accordingly.
Our drivers use specific "low-clearance" routes to avoid damaging the city's famous lush canopy.
Unlike Chicago, where "No Parking" signs are often a suggestion, Evanston has a formal Moving Vehicle and Storage Container (MVSC) Permit system.
Evanston is a college town, and that dictates the calendar.
| Neighborhood | Common Challenge | Pro Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown Evanston | High-rise loading docks | Check if your building (like E2 or Selene) requires a Certificate of Insurance (COI) 48 hours early. |
| North Evanston | Narrow driveways | Many older homes have "shared driveways" that won't fit a truck; street permits are mandatory here. |
| South Evanston | Street Cleaning | Between March 2 and December 15, street cleaning is strictly enforced with $75 tickets. |
We aren't just Chicago movers venturing north. We are Evanston experts who know that Zone 2 residential parking is strictly enforced and that the turn from Ridge onto Davis is tighter than it looks. We come prepared with the right permits, the right truck size for tree-lined streets, and the patience for North Shore logistics.
Expert tips to make your move smoother.
From downtown high-rises to suburban homes, we cover the entire Chicagoland area.
