“Jordan and Keyvon were quick, courteous, and professional.”
Jonathan H.
My name’s Kurt Halverson, and Rockford Family Movers has been a Halverson family shop since 2009. It began with my brother, one truck, and a Machesney Park driveway, back when we were fed up watching Rockford folks bleed dollars on a running hourly meter. Our answer was simple: the price gets written down and signed first, and not until then does anybody on my crew lift a box.
Right-sizing the truck for your place
Two of my guys clear a one-bedroom off Harlem Road or a Loves Park ranch in no time. A century home over in Churchill’s Grove with a pinched staircase, or a full four-bedroom up in Roscoe, gets a third mover so we finish before dusk. Cody Aldritch heads up the narrow-stairwell work, and Wade Kohlmeier takes the subdivision runs through Machesney Park and Loves Park.
| Crew | Hourly | Fits |
|---|---|---|
| 2 movers + truck | $129/hr | Apartments, 1BR, small ranch homes |
| 3 movers + truck | $175/hr | Houses, staircases, 3BR and up |
There’s a one-hour floor, and after that the clock runs in quarter-hour steps. Pads, dollies, and shrink-wrap all ride inside that hourly, so nothing about supplies lands on your bill, and a Saturday move rings up at the identical Tuesday figure.
Where the signed flat number tends to land
Sherri looks over your address, which floor you’re on, and how the truck gets in before she puts pen to a figure. With that done, most Winnebago County jobs settle inside these brackets:
| The move | Written flat rate |
|---|---|
| 1BR apartment in Machesney Park or Loves Park | $390 – $540 |
| 2BR single-level ranch, Rockton or Roscoe | $620 – $860 |
| 3BR Rockford historic home with a staircase | $980 – $1,340 |
| 4BR house on a Roscoe or Rockton acre lot | $1,420 – $1,940 |
| Extra stop at a storage unit | +$110 – $180 flat |
Streets and neighborhoods we’ve already worked
The older Rockford grid — Churchill’s Grove, Edgewater, Signal Hill — hands you tall stairwells, no driveway, and doorframes trimmed narrow a hundred years back. Follow IL-251 north and the map turns into postwar Machesney Park and Loves Park ranches, then Roscoe and Rockton lots that stretch toward the country. Here’s how those usually sort out:
- Rockford’s historic blocks with steep stairwells, front porches, and curbside-only parking
- Machesney Park and Loves Park ranch houses and the newer Harlem Road subdivisions
- Roscoe and Rockton semi-rural parcels with a long haul from the curb to the door
- Rock River waterfront homes where a spring thaw can swamp the approach
Set up for a Northern Illinois winter
We’re loading trucks in single-digit cold from December into February, so the crew rolls with ice-melt, traction mats, and spare shrink-wrap for the slush that follows boots inside. Storm season in spring just gets built into the calendar. Need a figure this minute? Punch it into our moving calculator. Leaving Illinois? Look over long-distance moving. Third-floor walk-up? Our apartment team has it, and you can meet the whole family crew on the home page.
