Moving our seniors with care

We know that downsizing and moving a beloved family member into a senior living facility can be an overwhelming experience, both emotionally and logistically. We understand that it's not just about the physical items being relocated; it's about preserving the memories and cherished moments associated with them. Sometimes, downsizing requires donating or delivering items to various locations, and we are here to assist you every step of the way. Our moving services are designed with your convenience in mind, ensuring that we can schedule your move to accommodate any necessary deliveries or pick-ups. At TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, we live by the principle of THE GRANDMA RULE®, treating everyone with the same warmth and respect we would want for our own grandmothers.

Moving a piano is a delicate process and one you don't want to attempt yourself. Here at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Des Plaines, our movers are trained to safely move spinets, uprights, and baby grands.
