We've moved a couple times in the city over the last couple years and, based on other reviews we read, we chose Public for our most recent move to the River North neighborhood of Chicago.
Throughout the entire move, these guys were professional and friendly. They also proved to have impressive driving skills navigating the city traffic as they followed us to our new place. Most importantly, though, they were extremely careful with all of our boxes and (some heavy) furniture. And they move quickly!
The three guys that helped us with the move showed up on time and had all of the stuff from our apartment (which involved a flight of stairs) and another rental truck we packed up professionally wrapped, carried outside and on their truck in no time.
Start to finish, including signing in to our new building and navigating the freight elevator and hallways, these guys finished the entire move inside three hours--about half the time that was originally estimated.
This company deserves its 5-star rating and got a pretty generous tip for their high-quality work. As mentioned in other reviews, definitely have cold drinks and cash ready for a tip. They work hard, move quickly and will likely finish in less time than originally quoted.
