Moving the Hub of the North Shore

Skokie is a community defined by its diversity, vibrant culture, and strategic location. Originally incorporated as Niles Center in 1888, Skokie has transformed into a premier destination for families and businesses alike. From the open-air luxury of Westfield Old Orchard to the world-renowned exhibits at the Illinois Holocaust Museum, this village offers an urban-suburban blend that is hard to match. Whether you are moving into a mid-century home in Timber Ridge, a classic bungalow in Devonshire, or a modern condo near the Skokie Swift, you need a mover who understands the local geography.

 

In 1888, the Hollander family began providing storage and transportation on the north side of Chicago, just two decades after the Great Chicago Fire. Today, Hollander Storage & Moving Company is a thriving family-owned business specializing in Skokie relocations. Our pledge is to move your home or business with care and efficiency, utilizing 130+ years of local knowledge to navigate everything from the busy Dempster Street corridor to the quiet residential loops of Lorel Park.

Comprehensive Moving Services in Skokie

Local Residential Moving

Skokie’s residential landscape is a mix of architectural history and modern comfort. Our local crews are experts at navigating the village’s unique layouts, including the iconic Chicago-style bungalows and split-level homes. We provide service you can rely on, whether you are moving within the 60076, 60077, or 60203 zip codes. From protecting your hardwood floors to carefully maneuvering through tight residential streets, we ensure your family’s transition is seamless.

Long-Distance Relocation

If you are moving across the country, choose the Skokie movers with a national reach. As a "Premier" United Agent, we connect you to a massive global network while providing the personalized attention of a local family business. We manage the complex logistics of interstate travel, ensuring your belongings are tracked and protected from your driveway in Skokie to your new destination anywhere in the U.S.

International Moving

Skokie is a true melting pot, with over 90 languages spoken in local homes. If your journey is taking you across international borders, we are the experts you need. We are members of the International Association of Movers and FIDI, giving us the specialized credentials to handle customs documentation and global freight forwarding. We ensure your household goods navigate the globe safely, reaching Europe, Asia, or beyond with ease.

Commercial and Office Moving

We support Skokie’s booming business sector, from the Illinois Science + Technology Park to the corporate offices near the Cook County Courthouse. Our commercial and logistics services are tailored to suit unique needs, including office furniture disassembly, IT equipment handling, and warehouse relocation. We execute efficient moves that minimize downtime, allowing your business to stay productive during the transition.

Corporate and Employee Relocation

As members of the worldwide and Chicago-area Relocation Councils, we assist Skokie employers in managing talent mobility. Whether you are transferring executives to local pharmaceutical hubs or moving staff out of state, our relocation specialists handle every detail. We act as a trusted extension of your HR team, providing white-glove service to your most valuable assets.

Senior Move Management Services

We offer compassionate support for seniors moving into local retirement communities like Covenant Living of Northbrook or the high-end senior residences near Old Orchard. Our team understands the emotional weight of downsizing from a long-time family home. We assist with sorting, packing, and setting up the new residence with patience, kindness, and respect.

Professional Packing Services

Packing is a time-consuming task that requires a professional touch. Our trained packers use high-quality materials to protect your valuables, from delicate kitchenware to heavy library collections. We offer full packing, partial packing, and crating for high-value items. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can provide professional-grade boxes and supplies to ensure your items are ready for the journey.

Secure Storage Solutions

Our storage facilities range from large warehouse storage to portable storage units. Whether you need short-term space while renovating a home in Fairview or long-term commercial storage for inventory, our facilities are monitored and climate-controlled. We provide a safe, secure environment for your belongings until you are ready for final delivery.

Auto and Vehicle Shipping

Avoid the stress of driving multiple cars during your move. We offer reliable auto shipping for Skokie residents, providing door-to-door transport for family sedans, vintage cars, and motorcycles. Our carriers ensure your vehicle arrives safely at your new home without the wear and tear of a long road trip.

Tips for Moving in Skokie

Plan Around the Edens Expressway

The Edens Expressway (I-94) is the lifeblood of Skokie, but congestion at the Old Orchard Road, Dempster Street, and Touhy Avenue exits can be heavy. We recommend scheduling your move start time during off-peak hours—typically mid-morning—to avoid the morning and evening rush, ensuring our trucks arrive at your home on schedule.  

Watch for Festival Closures

Skokie hosts popular community events like the Skokie Festival of Cultures in May and the Backlot Bash in late August. These events can lead to road closures in the downtown area near Oakton Street. We check the village events calendar to ensure our routes are clear and your move day is uninterrupted.  

Coordinate Downtown Loading

If you are moving to a modern condo in Downtown Skokie or an apartment near the CTA Yellow Line, parking for large moving trucks can be restricted. We recommend checking with village hall or your building manager regarding loading zone permits to ensure we have a legal, convenient spot to park on move day.

Hollander treated us like family from the very first phone call. Their team relieved all our stress and handled our belongings with incredible care. They wrapped every piece of furniture and protected our floors. Truly the best movers in Chicago for local and long-distance needs. We would not trust anyone else with our home.

This experience was excellent. Our crew was on time, courteous, and very professional. They were clearly experienced … taking any and all measures to move our possessions carefully. Can’t say enough good things about our crew (Kyle, Supervisor; Vedale; Conner, and Turtle). Thank you for doing such a good job!
