Move-tastic!

3100 N Tripp Ave Chicago IL 60641

DOT 1906350

What began as a friendly favor has evolved into Chicago's most beloved moving company. Move-tastic emerged in 2007 when Pete Horvath, an IT manager, and his best friend Pat, a schoolteacher, transformed weekend moving help for friends into a thriving business. Pete's 2004 pickup truck purchase, initially meant for home renovations, unexpectedly positioned him as the go-to helper for furniture transport throughout Chicago. When a review appeared online, their phone began ringing with requests from across the city. The company reached a key turning point in September 2008 when Pete bought their first official box truck. This purchase set the stage for the growing fleet that now carries their logo across Chicagoland. Starting small, Move-tastic has grown into a complete moving service that helps people throughout Chicago and nearby suburbs. Move-tastic stands out from other moving companies because they think differently about the business. While competitors just focus on the service aspect, Move-tastic treats moving like hospitality. They build their work culture around five simple ideas: keeping a positive attitude, staying safe, working hard, showing care, and mastering skills. Everyone on their team follows these principles, which creates a smooth experience from your first phone call until the last box is placed. Move-tastic also takes a different approach to staffing. Instead of using independent contractors like many moving companies do, they hire all their workers as employees, which helps them maintain higher quality standards. Their comprehensive services include residential and commercial moving, professional packing, secure storage options, and specialized assistance like parking permit coordination and furniture assembly. Pete's technology background has kept Move-tastic at the forefront of digital innovation since its inception. As one of Chicago's first moving companies to offer online booking, they continue evolving their digital presence to enhance customer experience. Through their lighthearted approach and dedication to reducing moving stress, these two friends turned business partners have created more than a moving company—they've built a Chicago institution that truly loves to move.
