Moving services for Winnetka.
Local Moves Within Winnetka
Winnetka's three sub-neighborhoods — Greeley, Hubbard Woods, and Crow Island — each have distinct access situations. Hubbard Woods homes near the ravines can have steep or constrained driveway approaches. Elm Street and Indian Hill areas near the Metra stations have narrower village streets with limited truck staging. East Winnetka lakefront properties on Sheridan Road are in a class of their own. We ask about your specific address and access when we call so none of this is discovered on move day.
Long Distance & Out-of-State Moves
Winnetka households relocating out of state tend to carry the most significant furniture and collections we handle — custom pieces, original art, antiques, items from homes that have been in place for decades. These moves require serious packing and two-end planning. Binding rate locked before we load, no fuel surcharges at delivery, same crew both ends when distance allows.
Packing, Storage & Supplies
Winnetka homes at this level consistently have items that need to be packed with precision rather than speed — original artwork, antiques, fragile collections, wine cellars, custom cabinetry contents. We do targeted packing using materials appropriate for each item type, and full-service for anyone who wants to hand it off entirely. Our Lincolnwood warehouse holds overflow between closing dates, billed on actual cubic feet.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does EZ Movers price a Winnetka move?
We charge by the hour with the full total given before we start. A substantial Winnetka single-family home — four or more bedrooms with a multi-car garage, finished basement, and significant furniture — typically runs $1,900–$2,600. Larger estates, lakefront properties, or moves requiring multiple trucks run above that, which we quote accurately after understanding the scope. Smaller homes run $1,400–$1,900. We charge hourly with the total quoted upfront — no end-of-day upcharges, fuel surcharges, or surprise fees.
Do you have experience moving homes with original architectural details — original plaster, custom millwork, historic staircases?
Yes — and it changes how we approach the job. Winnetka has some of the most architecturally significant residential properties in the Midwest, including homes designed by David Adler, Howard Van Doren Shaw, and George Maher. These homes have original plaster walls, custom woodwork, period staircases, and built-in details that aren't replaceable. A crew that drags furniture through without floor runners or pushes pieces through doorways without measuring first can cause damage that's expensive or impossible to repair. We bring floor runners, door padding, corner protection, and furniture pads on every truck as standard — not an add-on. For moves out of homes with irreplaceable architectural details, we also do a walk-through with the lead crew member before the clock starts to identify the sensitive areas and plan the carry accordingly.
Are there access considerations for Winnetka's lakefront estates or Hubbard Woods ravine properties?
Both are worth discussing at booking. East Winnetka lakefront homes on or near Sheridan Road are typically large estates with circular driveways and significant carry distances from truck to door — some have specific loading areas, some don't. The Hubbard Woods area in northeast Winnetka has natural ravines that create unusual topography — some homes are set into hillsides or accessed via steep driveways where a full-size truck can't easily reposition. In those cases, we may need to stage the truck differently or run a longer carry. We ask about your driveway approach and lot situation when we quote you so we know what we're planning for before the crew leaves the yard.
