STI Moving & Storage Inc - Chicago Moving Company

What STI Moving & Storage Inc - Chicago Moving Company does

STI Moving & Storage Inc is a privately held, Illinois-incorporated full-service moving and storage company headquartered at 7400 Niles Center Road, Skokie, IL, with additional regional offices in Dallas, TX (5757 Preston View Blvd) and Glendale, AZ (8427 W Glendale Ave), collectively serving the Chicago, Dallas–Fort Worth, and Phoenix metropolitan areas. Founded in 2004 and operating under the DBA "STI Movers," the company delivers local, long-distance, office, apartment, white-glove, medical-lab, senior, student, and restoration moves, plus packing, loading/unloading, junk removal, and short- and long-term storage. Its technology footprint centers on operational logistics — modern trucks, climate-controlled storage, and real-time shipment tracking — supplemented by online self-serve tools (moving cost calculators, free quote forms) and a multi-channel digital marketing presence across web, social, and review platforms.

The business runs on a sales-led, transaction-based model: each move is priced by distance, size, and service scope, with local jobs typically ranging $500–$2,000 and long-distance moves starting from $1,260. Free estimates and online quotes act as lead-capture, with phone-based sales and on-site visits handling larger commercial jobs. Four revenue streams are disclosed — moving services, packing services, storage solutions (the only recurring component), and junk removal — with all priced per engagement rather than via subscription, aside from storage. Partnerships are limited to two disclosed arrangements: a charitable tie-up with the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation ($1 donated per move) and a minor operational tie-up with Blubox-it to supply reusable plastic moving boxes. The customer base skews to residential homeowners and SMBs, with niche exposure to medical facilities and small commercial offices, and consumer trust is reinforced by high ratings across Google (4.7/5), Birdeye (5/5), Trustpilot (4.9/5), and BBB (A+).

STI holds multi-jurisdiction regulatory credentials (ILCC #139020, US DOT #1308599, MC #507359, TXDMV #007608391C) and operates without disclosed parent-company ownership, outside investment, or acquisition activity. The company is independently run with 11–50 employees, no public revenue or funding disclosures, and a 21-year continuous-operating history built on organic growth and word-of-mouth reputation in its core Chicago market.
