What to Expect When Moving in Island Lake

Island Lake may be small, but every move here needs a plan. From long gravel driveways to streets with limited parking, we’ve seen how tricky things can get especially near Eastway Drive or tight corners off Cottonwood. Some homes sit right along the water with little space for large trucks, while others back into wooded areas that require equipment planning.

We’ve moved in and out of all of it. Whether you’re moving into a townhome, downsizing from a family house, or helping parents relocate nearby, Our team knows the routes, building layouts, and parking options to help avoid delays and get your move done efficiently.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently used STI Moving & Storage for a local move and was thoroughly impressed with their service. The 4-man team was not only highly efficient but also completed the move in significantly less time than estimated—finishing in 5 hours instead of the quoted 7. That meant I actually paid LESS than expected—when does that ever happen???  After several moves over the years, this was the first time everything arrived without damage and without any surprise charges. Their pricing was fair, and was able to book them on fairly short notice, and they were on-time - which was critical as we had to schedule a loading dock and freight elevator at our new apartment. Without a doubt, I’ll be using STI again for any future moves around Chicago!
