Residential Moves
Sunshine Movers handles residential moves of every size and distance. Studio apartments in Lakeview, three-flats in Logan Square, condos in the South Loop, single-family homes out in Naperville and Oak Park — and full households relocating to another state entirely. We are Chicago-based and locally owned, and we hold interstate authority for all 50 states, so the same crew that carries your sofa down the stairs is the crew that unloads it wherever you are going.
Every residential move starts with a walkthrough, in person or over video. We look at what you own, where it has to go, and what both buildings will allow. That is how you get a price that holds instead of a lowball estimate that grows on moving day.
How It Works?!
Chicago buildings have rules, and the ones that catch people out are almost always logistical rather than physical. We handle that paperwork before the truck is loaded.
- Free walkthrough and a written, itemized estimate
- Certificate of Insurance issued to your building management
- Freight elevator and loading dock reserved for your time window
- City of Chicago moving permits pulled where the street requires one
- Furniture disassembled, padded and wrapped before it leaves the room
Most one and two bedroom moves inside the city are finished in a single day. Larger homes and suburban moves are scheduled with a start time rather than a vague window, so you are not losing a day waiting on a truck.

Benefits of Service
The difference between a smooth move and a bad one is rarely muscle — it is planning. Reserving the elevator, getting the Certificate of Insurance to management, knowing which streets need a permit and which alleys a 26-foot truck cannot turn into: that is the work that keeps your move on schedule. We do it as standard, on every residential job, at no extra charge.
