Boerman Moving & Storage was started by Howard and Mary Boerman in 1926 as an ice and coal delivery business. The ice and coal business required the company to deliver appliances and these customers would ask Boerman to provide moving services for their household goods. Through the forties and fifties the ice and coal business changed and Boerman Moving & Storage’s primary business became a full service moving and storage company operating in the western suburbs of Chicago. In March 2000, the company moved to Woodridge, Illinois into a 42,000 square foot facility, recently renovated and expanded to 58,500 square feet in 2018, that provides both household goods storage and distribution services.

Corporate Relocation
At Boerman Moving and Storage, an Interstate Agent for Bekins Van Lines, we have a network of Bekins agents working together to ensure your transferees are satisfied happy customers. We know how important a successful corporate relocation is to your employees and that a happy relocation can be the catalyst for a happy first day at the new office location. We offer the standardized Bekins estimating, packing, loading, delivery, unpacking and assembly throughout the relocation process.
Items of extraordinary value such as jewelry, money, antiques, and stamp collections
can be included in your shipment, provided that you notify your local moving representative
of these items before packing and moving day. It is strongly recommended that you carry
irreplaceable and expensive articles with you, or make alternate arrangements for their
transport.
In the moving industry, items worth more than $100 per pound are considered to be articles
of "extraordinary value.” To be assured that a claim involving these articles is not limited
to minimal liability, complete and sign your mover's high-value inventory form.
Also, be sure to sign the "Extraordinary Value Article Declaration" box, if applicable, on
your Bill of Lading.
Each mover has a slightly different procedure to follow as it relates to high-value items.
Ask your relocation specialist to provide you with an explanation of their company's process.
This is a confusing (but important) task, so be sure that you clearly understand the rules
prior to load day.
Appliances such as washers, dryers, and refrigerators must be disconnected, and the washer
must have a stabilizer installed. Again, your estimator can help you understand how these
items are properly serviced. All local moving companies have business relationships with
local service providers that handle this type of service, however full service moving
companies and national moving companies will also be able to provide all of the moving
services you require. Be sure you know who your mover will be using, as you will need to let
these people into your home to provide the service.
