What Coffey Bros. Moving does

Coffey Bros. Moving is a privately held, full-service moving company headquartered in Westchester, Illinois (serving the Chicagoland area), with an additional operational presence in the Orlando Metro region. Founded in 2008/2009 and led by founder Kenneth Coffey, the company provides residential and commercial moving services through its own fleet of trucks and employed, background-checked moving crews, with no franchise or third-party operator model. The service catalog spans local hourly moves (with bundled labor, fuel, and tolls), long-distance moves (priced by mileage and weight), emergency and same-day moves, apartment and house moves, office relocations, and specialty services including piano, fitness equipment, valuable item, appliance, and wooden crate moving, supplemented by packing, white-glove packing, storage, COI processing, and reusable moving box rental. There is no proprietary technology platform; customer-facing tools are limited to an SEO-optimized website, an online moving calculator, and standard quote/contact forms.

The company's revenue model is transaction-based, with two primary pricing structures: a flat hourly rate for local moves that includes labor, fuel, and tolls, and mileage/weight-based pricing for long-distance relocations. Add-on services (packing, storage, specialty items, COI) generate incremental revenue per move. Distribution is direct-to-consumer, relying on organic search, the company's reputation footprint (3,600+ reviews, BBB A+ rating, Angi 5 Star Service Rating, and earned media in Forbes, USA Today, ABC, CBS, NBC), a referral program, chamber-of-commerce memberships across Chicagoland, and a Move For Hunger charitable partnership. The go-to-market motion is regionally concentrated in two metros, with a publicly stated intent to expand into additional high-density markets. No external funding, parent company, or institutional investors are disclosed; growth has been organic and founder-led over a 15+ year operating history.

Emerging players

• Bellhop: Tech-enabled moving platform offering local labor and full-service moves in major U.S. metros with online booking and dynamic pricing. Comparable to Coffey Bros. on the residential local moving offering, but represents a different go-to-market model that highlights the technology gap facing traditional operators.

Direct peers

• All My Sons Moving & Storage: Family-owned regional and long-distance mover operating in multiple U.S. metros with residential, commercial, packing, and storage services. Directly comparable to Coffey Bros. on service mix, family-led positioning, and multi-metro regional growth strategy.
• Two Men and a Truck: Largest franchised local residential and commercial moving company in the U.S., operating across many metros. Directly comparable to Coffey Bros. on core local residential, apartment, and office moving service mix, with similar bundled hourly pricing and a strong local brand playbook.

Broad incumbents

• North American Van Lines: Major U.S. interstate and international household goods carrier with agent-based local service network. Comparable to Coffey Bros. on long-distance residential and interstate household moving, operating at much greater scale and geographic breadth.
• Allied Van Lines: Large national moving company network offering local, long-distance, international, and corporate relocation services via a network of agent operators. Overlaps with Coffey Bros. on long-distance household moving but operates at vastly greater scale through an agent model.
• United Van Lines: One of the largest U.S. household goods carriers under UniGroup, offering local, interstate, international, and corporate relocation services. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the long-distance and interstate residential moving categories that Coffey Bros. also serves.
• Wheaton World Wide Moving: National household goods carrier offering local, interstate, and international relocation through an agent network. Comparable on long-distance residential and corporate relocation services, with significantly broader geographic coverage than Coffey Bros.

Others

• PODS: National portable storage container company allowing customers to pack at their own pace and have containers transported. Adjacent to Coffey Bros. through the storage and relocation value chain, representing an alternative self-service model that competes for moving-spend wallets.
• U-Pack: Self-service long-distance moving service using professional drivers and consolidated trailer space. Adjacent competitor to Coffey Bros.' long-distance moving offering from a different go-to-market model, appealing to budget-conscious interstate customers.

Regional players

• Dumbo Moving and Storage: Regional full-service mover serving NYC, NJ, and CT with local, long-distance, packing, and storage offerings. Comparable service mix and reputation-driven GTM to Coffey Bros., but concentrated in the Northeast metro market rather than the Midwest/Southeast.
