Let Our Family Move Your Family
Moving isn’t just about packing boxes and transporting furniture—it’s about starting a new chapter in life. Whether you’re relocating across town or setting up a new business space, you want to know the company you hire will treat your belongings, your time, and your home with care. For families and businesses in Algonquin, IL, that trust has been earned
time and time again by Dreiske Moving & Storage. With more than 45 years of experience and two generations of family leadership, Dreiske
has become more than just a moving company—we are a partner in life’s biggest transitions. Here’s why your next Algonquin move should be with Dreiske. A Local Company with Deep Roots Algonquin isn’t just another town to us—it’s part of our home community. From the Fox River neighborhoods to the growing shopping districts near Algonquin Commons, we understand the unique character of this area. Unlike large national van lines that treat customers as transactions, Dreiske is a second-generation, family-owned company that’s been serving the McHenry County and
Chicagoland area since 1978. Our roots here mean we understand the challenges of local moves—like narrow subdivision streets, busy traffic corridors, and the importance of timing a move around school and work schedules.
We live here. We work here. We serve our neighbors here. That local knowledge translates to a smoother, more efficient, and less stressful moving day.
Residential Moving Done Right
No two families are alike, which is why Dreiske never takes a “one-size-fits-all” approach.
Every residential move begins with a plan that fits your needs, budget, and timeline.
- Packing Services: Short on time? Our professional packers can box up your whole house or just the rooms you want help with, using high-quality materials to protect your belongings.
- Loading & Transport: Every mover on our crews is trained, background-checked, and equipped to handle moves safely. From sectional sofas to delicate antiques, we know how to protect your items.
- Storage Options: Sometimes moves don’t line up perfectly. Dreiske offers secure, climate-controlled storage solutions—whether you need a few days, weeks, or months.
- Unpacking & Setup: A move isn’t done when the boxes are off the truck. We’ll help you reassemble furniture and place it where it belongs so your new house feels like home on day one.
Our crews aren’t just strong—they’re respectful, courteous, and committed to easing the stress of moving day. Families across Algonquin consistently tell us how relieved they are to have Dreiske by their side. Specialized Services for Life’s Big Items Some moves require extra attention. Whether it’s a baby grand piano, a safe, fine art, or
custom furniture, Dreiske offers specialized white-glove moving services: - Custom crating for fragile or oversized items.
- Protective wrapping (blankets, shrink wrap, padding).
- Careful, detailed handling to preserve finishes and integrity.
These aren’t extras—they’re part of our promise to handle your belongings as if they were
our own.
Secure Storage Solutions
Life doesn’t always fit neatly into a moving schedule. That’s why Dreiske offers climate-
controlled storage facilities that are secure, clean, and monitored.
- Short-Term Storage: Perfect for a few weeks when closing dates don’t line up.
- Long-Term Storage: Ideal for families downsizing, remodeling, or waiting to move into a permanent home.
Knowing your belongings are safe gives you peace of mind during transitions. - Commercial & Office Moving Expertise
Moving a business is a whole different challenge—and Dreiske has the expertise to make it seamless. We know that downtime costs money, so we work with you to keep operations
moving: - Disassembling and reassembling office furniture.

- Coordinating evening or weekend moves to minimize disruption.
