Move from Chicagoland to Southern Illinois (300 miles).
This was our 9th move in 40 years, and it was by far the smoothest. From quoting the job (Trevor Turvey) to the actual move (our lead man was Ryan), the effort and communication was excellent. Melinda Foust was the liaison between the office and Ryan, and she answered every call promptly and accurately. The movers treated our possessions as if they were their own, and we couldn't be more appreciative for the attention they gave to every last detail.
Moving Boxes.
I paid $3900 to move from one side of town to the other. The packers were great, the movers were wonderful and couldn't have been nicer guys. The office staff was fine as well and worked with me since the mortgage company had a stall at the very end. Everything was great, however. I was told they'd come and get the last of the boxes, to take my time unpacking and not to worry. I have tried to get them to come and get the balance of the boxes and I've been told they can't since they are so busy. I was also told I could put them in my car and drop them off. If I could move them I would have by now instead of waiting for service. They left their moving clothes and had no issues coming to get them a week later. But now I'm stuck with boxes I can't get out of my house. Lousy customer service as far as I'm concerned for my $ 3900.
Excellent Cross-Country Move!
The folks at Boerman Moving & Storage were amazing with our cross-country move! They truly took all the stress & worry out of the move for us through the entire process. We researched various long-distance moving companies ahead of time & went with them because on top of their excellent customer service right from the start, their quote came in the lowest compared to others, their turn-around time for delivery was the quickest AND our stuff stayed on the same truck with the same driver from start to finish. We packed just about everything ourselves & had them wrap our furniture, box up the mattress, box the glass shelves from our TV stand & also box some rather large framed art work. Everything arrived intact, without any issues!
A special shout-out to all the individuals there who assisted us personally for their top-notch friendly customer service:
Frank Ortiz - was our Move Coordinator & assisted us on the phone, keeping in contact with us during the process. Great guy!
Nick Ariano - was the Sales Rep who came to our house to do the survey of our household goods/furniture & estimate the cost. Really nice guy!
Carlos - was our driver from start to finish via Bekins Van Lines. He was excellent & kept us updated via calls & texts during the transport. He truly is a wonderful guy!
On the IL side - the moving team Boerman contracted to load up our stuff did a fantastic job & I'm sorry I don't have their names..I was working that day & the Hubs was home for the move-out & he couldn't recall their names at this point, but reported they worked very efficiently, cleaned up everything along the way & were a nice bunch of guys. They laid down plastic to protect the carpet on their paths in & out, too.
On the WA side - the moving team Boerman contracted for the unload was amazing! I was there for the move-in, so I remember their names: Lee, Lupe & George. These 3 guys did a phenomenal job & worked incredibly well as a team. As with the team on the IL side, they worked quickly, but safely, and cleaned up as they went. They also laid down plastic to protect the carpet along the main pathways in our new place. These 3 guys along with the driver were so incredibly nice & we enjoyed talking to them while they were working (but they never stopped working! I don't know how any of them could carry on a conversation while doing so much physical labor, but not only did they do so, they did it with big smiles & great attitudes!). They even gave us some tips on places to shop & local restaurants to try. We were sad to see them & the driver leave..we kind of wanted to take them out for a round of beers when it was all done!
We highly recommend the team at Boerman Moving & Storage in Woodridge, IL for your next move!
OK for local move -- beware of using them for cross-country move.
We used these movers for a local move (from Bolingbrook, IL to Elgin, IL) in 2014. They did a great job! It was a quick and overwhelmingly successful move -- loaded up and moved out of Bolingbrook house, traveled across Chicagoland, and into Elgin house in one day with no damage. Cross country move from Elgin, IL to Colorado with 2 months of storage between loading and delivering was unsatisfactory. The loading in Illinois was fine, and were told our household goods were being loaded into crates which would then be transferred to climate-controlled storage, and then when we were ready to receive it in Colorado they would load the crates onto trucks and drive to Colorado and deliver to our new home. Upon unloading in Colorado it became apparent that our belongings were unpacked from the initial crates and rammed into space smaller than needed with resulting broken chairs, crushed boxes (about half of our boxes were crushed), and most annoying, EVERYTHING that could be taken apart was taken apart, and only about half of it was reassembled at our new house. We are left with a box of "parts" that we have no idea what they go to because we did not take things apart! Incredibly, they took the beater bar off the bottom of our upright vacuum (what space would that save?), and put it back on backwards -- so when I used it at my new house the belt kept falling off until I realized what had happened! I would not use them again for a cross-country move.
June 2017 Exceptional Crew.
I had the pleasure of receiving an in person quote from Mike Boerman and actually changed moving companies as the full replacement cost of insurance was 66% lower saving me over $1000.00. But the story does not end there. The crew of 6 that Mike sent were hard workers, took extreme care of my furniture and both homes, were patient, fun and even provided design tips. While Cole was the lead for the move and was outside directing items on and off the truck, Branden took a lead role and I really enjoyed working with him. All of the guys were polite and easy going. My thanks to Branden, Ryan, Aaron, Marco, Matt and Cole for a job well done. I highly recommend this crew!! They made what easily could have been a stressful day into an enjoyable day.
Incredible Experience.
Boerman Moving & Storage helped our family move in Sept 2016. The experience was incredible from start to finish. The quote process was quick and professional. They were very accommodating when we had to change our move date not once but twice. And the 4 men that came on move day were polite and professional. Would recommend to everyone!
Move made easy.
Boerman's crew led by Mark moved me from my home of 40 years to an apartment on the 3rd floor. Everything went very smoothly. The crew were polite, courteous and did an awesome job. Not sure after the stress of selling my house, packing and moving, I will ever move again, but if the opportunity arises, Boerman will be my first call.
Once again!
Boerman did it again. Excellent service from start to finish. My most recent move was a smaller job and they knocked it out of the park. Somehow they managed to move ping pong table and 2 large exercise machines down 2 flights.
Moving and storage.
My husband and I have had our items in storage for over nine years with Boerman. They have been courteous and straightforward with us through all of it.
They helped us move over 2800 miles and back again! I would highly recommend this company for your moving needs. Whether local or long distance, they are top notch!
Great moving & storage company-local & long distance.
We downsized to a smaller home in the local area. In order to stage our home for sale, we needed to store substantial personal goods including pictures and other items that needed to be removed. Boerman Moving & Storage has an excellent container system where your goods can be stored in wooden containers until you need them at the new home.They are then stored in their warehouse under controled temperature conditions.This worked extremely well for us because the items were only loaded and unloaded once minimizing the amount of times they are handled. Our items were in storage for about 3 months and as far as we can tell so far, no damage.
The movers themselves did a great job packing and loading the items into the storage containers on the first part of the move. When it came time to make the physical move, everything went smoothly. The movers were careful and worked hard the whole time.
All went very well from our perspective. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MOVING COMPANY!
Great Crew.
Ryan and his team were great to work with on a move that had furniture going to 3 places. Courteous, helpful and considerate for this move involving my 92 year old Mother. They carefully wrapped and "packaged" the furniture depending upon which location it was going to. They kept my wife and I informed of the progress and expected time frames. All items were moved and unloaded safely to the proper locations.
Local move.
Boerman's was a great moving company to deal with. Mike Boerman was a great, honest man who did everything he could to help us. We got the best deal and paid the amount that was quoted. the movers worked so hard for 12 hours and got everything (including a super oversized item) where it needed to go.
A few pieces of furniture got scratched in the move but I think that's expected.
Thanks Boerman's for your help! :).
Move on 10/03/2015.
I hired Boerman Movers to move from my home of 37 years to my new home that was 40 minutes away. I was in an emotional daze, but the professionalism of the moving crew saved the day. My furniture and belongings were handled with care on both ends of the move. When they arrived at my new home, they laid down cardboard to protect my new hardwood floor. My furniture was put together meticulously and I was able to find any box I looked for. The team put them in each room as the boxes were labeled. They even put my mattress in the specific position I requested. I was grateful for their kindness and efficiency. Of course the cost was very reasonable. I would hire them again and recommend Boerman Movers to anyone.
Excellent Customer Oriented Service.
Boerman Movers was strongly recommended by our well-respected realtor. I interviewed them in spite of the listed two year-old Yelp posts with negative ratings. I am really glad I did. I found them to be customer service oriented with exceptional integrity and honesty. They delivered on both their quoted price and lead-time commitment for our moving schedule. We used them for our local downsizing move and fine furniture transportation for our daughter's new home in California. Most important, we felt Boerman's full service team really listened and responded to our needs. Each and every member of their team from our sales representative, Mike Boerman, to his expert move coordinators to the dedicated folks that moved our things treated us and our belongings with a high level of respect and personal care. Moving can be a very stressful time and the decision to hire Boerman made a real difference in making it easier and worry free. I highly recommend Boerman Moving and Storage.. They are terrific!
A Great Moving Experience.
We used Boerman for a recent local move. Mike came out to our house to provide an estimate and additional information to help us prepare for the move.The day of the pickup, the truck was on time. The movers were very thorough and courteous. They walked through the house to make sure they understood what to move. They covered the floors where needed to make sure to keep things as clean as possible. They were very efficient getting the house packed up. Boerman held our goods on the truck for two days while we dealt with the sale of our old home and purchase of our new home. The day of the delivery, the truck was on time again. We had the same crew for the delivery, so we didn't have issues with how to put furniture back together or what went into which room. They did a walk through of the house to make sure they understood where everything went. They asked questions during the delivery when they weren't sure where something should go. The total move cost was within $50 (1.5%) of what Mike had provided as the initial estimate. We were very happy with the service received and highly recommend them.
