Moving services for Barrington.
Local Moves Within Barrington
Barrington's housing range runs from Victorian-era homes in the historic district near Lake and Hough Streets to large lots in Fox Point and Jewel Park to rural properties with outbuildings off Kelsey and Cuba Roads. We confirm your property type, driveway situation, and any access considerations when we quote you — the crew is sized and equipped for your specific job before they leave our yard.
Long Distance & Out-of-State Moves
Barrington households moving out of state tend to have significant furniture — historic homes with antiques and period pieces, estates with custom collections, families who've been in place for years. These moves need serious planning on both ends. Binding rate locked before we load, no fuel surcharges at delivery, same crew both ends when distance allows.
Packing, Storage & Supplies
Barrington's historic homes often contain the kind of items that have been in place for decades — antiques, original artwork, period furniture, fragile collections. We do targeted packing for high-value items and full-service for anyone who wants to hand it off. Our Lincolnwood warehouse holds overflow between closing dates, billed on actual cubic feet.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does EZ Movers price a Barrington move?
We charge by the hour with the full total given before we start. A two- or three-bedroom home in an established Barrington neighborhood typically runs $1,000–$1,900 depending on size and access. Larger estates or historic homes with multiple outbuildings run $1,900–$2,600 or more. We factor in every stop — garage, barn, outbuildings — at quoting. We charge hourly with the total quoted upfront — no end-of-day upcharges, fuel surcharges, or surprise fees.
What's different about moving a home in Barrington's historic district versus a newer suburban property?
More than most people expect. Barrington's historic district — the largest residential historic district in Illinois — contains Victorian, Queen Anne, and Craftsman homes built in the late 1800s and early 1900s. These homes have original staircases that are narrower than modern builds, original woodwork and millwork throughout, and doorframes and hallways sized to period standards rather than today's furniture. A crew that doesn't bring floor runners and door padding to a Lake Street Victorian is going to leave marks. We also need to think through how large furniture pieces — sofas, armoires, bed frames — navigate the original staircase geometry before the clock starts. When you call us about a historic district home, we ask about the staircase configuration and room access specifically, not just the square footage.
Are there access or parking issues near downtown Barrington worth knowing about?
Yes — two worth flagging. The streets around the Metra station and downtown core are narrow, and parking for a moving truck near homes on Main Street, Hough Street, or Station Street typically requires a CDOT-equivalent street permit from the Village. We confirm permit requirements when we book downtown moves. The Barrington Art Festival on Memorial Day weekend and the July 4th parade both close downtown streets — if your move falls on those weekends, we flag it at booking and help you plan around it. Neither is a show-stopper, but both are things that catch movers off guard if they don't check the calendar.
