Chicago’s courtyard buildings and alley-loading setups aren’t that far off from what our crews already navigate in Brooklyn Heights or DUMBO — narrow access, a building manager who wants notice, sometimes a loading dock that only opens on a schedule. Anthony built Brooklyn Best Movers in 2014 to stop finding that out on move-day morning, so the COI, any alley or loading-dock reservation, and the parking plan get confirmed on the Chicago end and the Brooklyn end both, before the truck ever leaves the yard.
It’s a well-worn ~790-mile lane for us, and it stays with the same crew and truck from the Brooklyn pickup to the Chicago unload — no swap to a second company partway across Pennsylvania and Ohio, no third-party dispatcher taking over once you’re out of state. Call (718) 502-7431 and we’ll walk through both addresses before quoting.
Brooklyn → Chicago — What Each Home Size Typically Runs
| Home Size | Price Range | Estimated Transit Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1BR / Small Load | $1,400 | 2 days |
| 2-3BR / Medium Load | $2,750 | 2 days |
| 4BR+ / Large Load | $4,600 | 2-3 days |
Marcus builds most of these numbers from a video walkthrough before we ever quote a figure, so what you get back is priced against your actual inventory and route — not pulled off a generic size chart.
Moving Brooklyn to Chicago?
Long before your load date, we’ve already handled the certificate of insurance, elevator reservation, and parking arrangements this move needs at both ends — so nothing about the building holds up the truck once it’s loaded in Brooklyn and headed for Chicago
Nothing gets handed off partway: the crew that loads in Brooklyn stays with the job and unloads in Chicago themselves, with no subcontracted crew picking things up halfway through. Anthony or Marcus prices the lane at a walkthrough — in person if you’re within the boroughs, over video for anything farther out — and the number already accounts for the paperwork and access logistics we scouted on both ends. Crossing over to Queens or Staten Island for the afternoon isn't the same undertaking as a multi-day haul down the coast — for the long ones, our US DOT and MC authority is what covers the crossing.
