Your Local Movers in Lombard
Lombard is a settled-in DuPage town, and it moves like one. The Lilac Village earned its name from Lilacia Park and the Lilac Festival every May, but for a moving crew the real story is the housing: tidy postwar bungalows and Cape Cods around the village center, brick ranches and split-levels through The Highlands and Westmore-Howard Terrace, and newer subdivisions and townhome rows out toward Madison Meadow and the I-355 edge. Each one loads differently, and Lombard movers who actually know the town plan for that before the truck shows up.
We are Melendez Moving, a family-owned company run by Lauren and Kevin Melendez out of Chicago, and Lombard sits well inside our 50-mile service area. We bring uniformed, trained crews and we never charge extra for the dolly, hand truck, straps, hand tools, or rope and tie-downs. Whether you are leaving a downtown walk-up near St. Charles Road, right-sizing into a Yorktown-area condo, or relocating a business off Butterfield Road, you get a clear quote, careful handling, and a crew that wraps and pads before anything goes on the truck.

Pro tip from our crew
In Lombard, the thing that quietly eats time is access, not distance. The older ranches and split-levels off Main Street and around Lilacia Park usually have a driveway and an alley or curb we can back the truck right up to, so those load fast. But the townhome and condo developments near Butterfield Road and over by Yorktown are a different animal: narrow private drives, posted fire lanes, and HOA rules about where a 26-foot truck can sit. Before move day, pull your HOA's moving rules and check whether they want a certificate of insurance or a refundable deposit on file. We'll send the COI naming the association as soon as you give us the management company's name. If you're downtown near the Metra station and only have street parking, tell us which side and we'll plan the shortest carry instead of circling the block. The more we know about your specific drive, lot, or building entrance, the tighter and cheaper your move runs.

What Makes Moving in Lombard Different
Lombard's challenges are practical, not exotic. The older streets near downtown and the Metra UP-West stop have narrow driveways, detached garages set back off the alley, and mature parkway trees that make a 26-foot truck a tight squeeze, so we scout the approach and stage a shuttle or dolly run when a curbside pull-up will not work. Commuter timing matters too: morning and evening crunch around the Lombard and Glen Ellyn stations, plus St. Charles Road and Roosevelt Road, can box in a loading window, so we schedule around it. Downtown apartments and the condos and townhomes near Yorktown Center often sit above ground level or share a single elevator, which means a certificate of insurance for building management and a reserved freight elevator or loading zone before move day. And the deep finished basements and tuck-under garages common in The Highlands and split-level subdivisions hide the heavy stuff, treadmills, gun safes, workbenches, deep-freezers, so we send the right crew size and equipment for stairs that turn.
- Tight older driveways, alley-set garages, and parkway trees near the village center that make full-size trucks hard to spot, so we plan the approach and shuttle when needed
- Metra UP-West rush-hour timing and traffic on St. Charles Road and Roosevelt Road, scheduled around to protect your loading window
- COI, freight elevator, and loading-zone coordination for downtown apartments and Yorktown-area condos and townhomes
- Heavy basement and tuck-under-garage items in Highlands ranches and split-levels, matched with the right crew size and stair gear
- Newer Madison Meadow and I-355-edge subdivisions with HOA move rules and shared parking that need confirming ahead of time
- Long carries and reduced winter access during DuPage snow, planned for so the truck still gets close
Why Lombard Chooses Melendez Moving
- Family-owned and accountable. Lauren and Kevin Melendez run this company on one promise, take care of people, period, and that shows up in how the crew treats your home and your boxes.
- Licensed and insured for real. We carry City license 70318261, IL license 220206, MC #087428, and DOT #3120049, with coverage through Progressive and workers' comp through Pinnacle Point, and we provide a COI when your Lombard building requires one.
- Equipment included, no surprise fees. Dolly, hand truck, furniture straps, hand tools for assembly, and rope and tie-downs come standard on every Lombard move.
- Uniformed, trained crews. You get a punctual crew that wraps and pads furniture, protects floors and doorways, and handles narrow stairs and tight DuPage driveways without guesswork.
- Local and interstate under one roof. Staying in DuPage, heading downtown, or moving across the lower 48, you get the same careful handling and a clear quote either way.
- A binding estimate and honest planning. We confirm the building, parking, timeline, and special items by phone before move day so the number you hear is the number you can plan around.
Moving Services Available in Lombard
See all moving servicesWe Handle Lombard Building Requirements, Too
Condos, apartment complexes, and offices in Lombard come with their own rules: Certificates of Insurance, elevator reservations, and loading-dock windows. We coordinate the building side so your move day stays on schedule.
Certificate of Insurance (COI)
Many high-rises and condo associations require a COI on file before move day, and some won't let the crew past the lobby without one. Send us your building's requirements and we coordinate the paperwork with property management.
Freight Elevators & Loading Docks
We help reserve your freight-elevator window and loading-dock time slot, then plan the move around them so your slot is never lost.
City Permits & Parking
On blocks without a dock, the truck needs a legal spot. We walk you through Chicago's moving-truck permits and posted signage so you're not circling on move day.
Walk-Ups & Vintage Stairwells
Tight greystone staircases and narrow doorways are our normal. We measure first, protect woodwork and floors, and disassemble whatever needs to come apart.
Not sure what your building requires? Tell us about it and we'll handle the paperwork and scheduling.
Honest, Transparent Pricing
The number one fear when hiring movers is a final bill that blows past the quote. We explain exactly how pricing works and confirm the details with a direct call before move day, so the number you hear is the number you pay.
Hourly Pricing
Best for most local moves. You pay for the crew and truck by the hour, with a clear estimate up front of how long your move should take based on your home and access.
Flat-Rate & Binding Estimates
Best when you want one locked number, common for long-distance moves or moves with tricky building access. We assess your inventory and access up front and hold the price.
What Drives Your Final Cost
- How much you're moving (your inventory volume)
- Access on both ends: stairs, elevators, and carry distance
- Packing help and specialty items like pianos or antiques
- Storage needs between closings
- Timing, since month-end and summer are the busiest
Our No-Surprises Promise
- No surprise stair or long-carry fees
- No last-minute truck or fuel charges
- No inflated materials upsells
- Standard equipment included at no fee
What Chicagoland Customers Say
Kevin's crew came on short notice to move a 300+ lb cast-iron tub up a staircase and into my bathroom, maneuvering a tight space. Watching them get it in there, I was impressed. Highly recommend.

Lombard Moving FAQs
Yes. Lombard is well inside our 50-mile service area, from the older blocks around Lilacia Park and the Metra station to The Highlands, Madison Meadow, and the newer townhome rows near the I-355 and Roosevelt Road edge. Tell us your address and building type and we will plan the crew and equipment to match.
Yes. We carry insurance through Progressive and workers' comp through Pinnacle Point, and we issue a COI naming your building or management company when they require it. Send us the requirements early so we can reserve the freight elevator or a loading zone for your move day.
We do it regularly. Treadmills, gun safes, deep-freezers, workbenches, and tool chests come up from finished basements and tuck-under garages with turning stairs all the time in Lombard. We send a crew sized for it, with the straps, dollies, and hand tools included, and we wrap and protect the path on the way out.
It can if no one plans for it, which is why we do. Morning and evening commuter traffic near the Lombard and Glen Ellyn UP-West stations, plus St. Charles Road and Roosevelt Road, gets factored into your start time and route so your loading window stays protected.
No. The furniture dolly, hand truck, straps, hand tools for assembly, and rope and tie-downs are included at no fee on every Lombard move. The equipment is part of the job, not an add-on.
Give us a call. We will ask about your home or office, the building access, your timeline, and any special items, then give you a clear quote, often a binding estimate. We follow up before move day to confirm parking, elevators, COIs, and the finer details.
Two things move the number most: how far our crew has to carry your stuff, and how much of it there is. A single-story ranch off Westmore-Meyers Road with a driveway we can pull up to loads quicker than a two- or three-level townhome near Butterfield with a long walk from the unit to where the truck legally parks, and stairs add time on both ends. Heavy or awkward pieces (a treadmill, a gun safe, a glass china cabinet, a sleeper sofa that has to come down a tight stairwell) also add labor. Then there's prep: a basement or garage that's fully boxed and stacked loads far faster than one we're packing as we go. When we do your walkthrough, we look at all of this and give you a straight estimate, including a binding option so the price is locked before we start.
For a weekend or an end-of-month date, reach out three to four weeks out if you can, because those slots fill first across DuPage County. A mid-week, mid-month move is the easiest to schedule and usually the least hectic on the truck and on the streets. If you're moving out of or into one of the managed townhome or condo communities near Yorktown or Butterfield, factor in your HOA's lead time too, since some require a few business days' notice to reserve an elevator or approve a moving date, and we'll line up the COI to match. Renting near the downtown Metra corridor? A morning start beats the afternoon, when street parking near the station gets tight. Even a couple weeks' notice helps us hold the date and crew you want, but earlier is always better for peak dates.
