For over 20 years, The Pro Move has been changing how Chicago residents think about moving. Founded in 2004 by Jacob Twig, this company has grown from a small local business into the city's most trusted moving service. What makes The Pro Move special is their customer-first approach that turns moving from a headache into a smooth experience. They use smart systems like color-coded inventory tracking, prioritizing essential items, and special techniques to protect fragile belongings. These methods have set new standards for movers throughout Chicago. Starting with their main location in downtown Chicago, they've expanded to offer specialized services for homes, businesses, and long-distance moves. Their growth story includes impressive achievements like winning the "Best of Chicago Movers" award four years in a row and earning the "Angie's List Super Service Award" from 2009 to 2012. Company President Jacob Twig leads by example, staying directly involved in training staff and ensuring quality service. Instead of managing from behind a desk, he works closely with his team, creating a workplace where employees collaborate effectively while maintaining high standards. The Pro Move also stands out for their commitment to the environment. They use eco-friendly packing materials, plan delivery routes to save fuel, and run a comprehensive recycling program for moving supplies. This approach proves that a company can be successful while also being environmentally responsible. Having successfully helped thousands of customers throughout the Chicago area, The Pro Move continues to improve their services while staying true to their core belief—that with proper planning and expertise, moving can be transformed from a stressful event into an exciting new beginning.
