I was very happy with the movers at Hutchcraft. They were careful, professional, and great communicators. My move occurred without a hitch, on schedule, and without any damage whatsoever. The movers, Josh, Abelino, and Dequwwn were experts and a pleasure to work with. I can recommend wholeheartedly.Posted on Google![]()

They were on time and ready to go. They really listened about what we had and made a game plan for what to take first. From the time they showed and loaded up to the time they fully unloaded my house it was 2.5 hours. They had the best tools for each item needed to be moved.Posted on Google![]()

We recently reorganized our 4 elementary schools at Rantoul City Schools and relocated our PreK to a new facility. Hutchcraft was amazing on both moves. Polite, organized and efficient. The reorganization move entailed moving items from one school to another school, sometimes to 2 different schools. I have also used them for a personal move combining 2 households into one and again, the best service ever! Whether personal or business involved, I wouldn't use anyone else but them.Posted on Google![]()

This is for ikea pick up! ~~~ There is no place to review. And if it was actually the ikea pick up they would not be getting 5 stars. Went over and they were closed, despite my system telling me to come pick up my order. The next 2 days they would be closed and I had no choice but to pick up on the day that is the last day to pick it up. Also took a photo of hours for reference!! Don't waste your time going over unless you know these hours!Posted on Google![]()

We had a great experience with Hutchcraft. The guys were professional, friendly, and helpful. They got our furniture and boxes loaded with care and nothing was damaged in the move. I highly recommend James & Dustin and the Hutchcraft company. I think James and Dustin deserve a raise. They are incedible!Posted on Google![]()
