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!
Pablo, Drew, and Drew , worked quickly, cautiously, efficiently, and carefully!!
They even kindly provided extra help above and beyond whenever needed. The move was seamless with no disappointments whatsoever from the time they arrived at the single-family home I left to the storage unit where they unloaded everything carefully and meticulously! Besides their expert skills, you couldn't ask for kinder, more empathetic people!! I am most definitely going to use them when I get my new apartment!

Blankenship was so helpful from the booking, getting needed information about our move- I sent pics of our stuff. Then when they got there... Wow! We were all amazed at how fast and efficient they were. They met us in Rogers Park and helped move my daughter with a lot of furniture into her apt. that was three stories up, with NO elevator. I recommended them to my brother's wife who had to move her daughter into her first post college apartment, with lots of furniture. She emailed me and thanked me and said they were a Godsend. Blankenship met them in Chicago after they drove from NC. We will definitely use this company everytime! Thanks for all the help!

We used Blankenship several years ago and were very happy with them. We just moved the contents of our 3-bedroom house, plus basement and garage into a 10x20' storage area. They did a fantastic job. I wanted the items placed in a specific way in order to access the locker to add/remove items. I explained to them how I wanted the boxes and furniture laid out, and they followed my instructions to a T without any supervision. Excellent!
