Monolith is based in Woodridge, about eleven miles north of Lockport. A straight hourly rate, no hidden fees, no charge for stairs or elevators, and every piece wrapped before it goes on the truck. 5.0 stars from 227 Google reviews.
Lockport is two towns in one as far as a move goes. Limestone buildings from the canal days with stairs and no driveways, and subdivisions east of town where the houses are new and the carries are long. The plan is different for each.
Limestone and brick buildings along State Street, many with apartments above the storefronts. Narrow stairs, no loading zone, and everything gets wrapped on the way down. The stairs never cost extra.
Victorians and Colonial Revivals from the 1880s through the 1920s. Tight staircases and tight landings, so bulky pieces come apart, get wrapped, and go back together at the other end.
Townhomes and duplexes north of Bruce Road with shared drives. We stage the truck where it won't box in your neighbors, and keep the carry short.
Larger homes on established lots. Deep basements and long driveways, so we walk the route first and bring the crew size the house actually calls for.
New construction, which usually means a move-in rather than a move-out. We protect the finished floors and door frames on the way in — they haven't been lived on yet.
Newer homes on the north end of town. Easy truck access, which is the one thing that actually makes a move cheaper, since you're paying by the hour.
Monolith is based in Woodridge, about eleven miles north of Lockport. Short drive times, a crew that already knows the roads, and a simple hourly rate by movers and trucks. Most local moves carry no travel charge at all.
Someone answers the phone seven days a week, 8am to 8pm. Two weeks' notice is a good rule of thumb for a local move, though last-minute is always welcome at no extra charge — call and we'll check what the crew has open. That's how we've held a perfect 5.0 on Google across 227 reviews.

“Loved having the Monolith crew help me move from my apartment to my new condo! The guys were on time, quick, and very careful. I had them back again a week later to bring up my couch and put together my bed (why do it by myself when they're awesome at their job?!) Will recommend to all of my friends and family in need of good movers or furniture assembly!”
“By far, the most professional and courteous moving company I have ever worked with. They had to load my UHaul in the middle of a storm and were incredibly thoughtful about making sure nothing was damaged, they were hustling up and down the stairs, and they had a positive attitude the entire time. They were also pros at packing the truck. I recommend them to anyone moving in the Chicago area. They go above and beyond.”
“Monolith just finished moving me and I am so pleased! Dominick was easy to reach. I had to change my moving date several times because of problems with the property but he was patient and answered every concern quickly. Thanks to Dominick and Armando showed up on time and made moving quite a pleasant experience. They were courteous and professional I highly recommend them.”
