Moving services for Wilmette.
Local Moves
Wilmette's housing stock has real variety that matters on move day. The Victorian and Cape Cod homes near the village center date to the early 1900s - original staircases narrower than modern builds, period woodwork that needs floor runners and door protection, and architectural details worth protecting throughout the carry. Newer construction near the lake and in East Wilmette has standard modern layouts. Lakefront condos on Sheridan Road have COI requirements, elevator reservations, and building protocols similar to any managed Chicago high-rise. We ask about your specific address and home type when you call so the crew arrives knowing which situation they are walking into - not discovering it when they pull up to your street.
Long Distance
Wilmette households moving out of state tend to carry furniture and collections from homes at this price point - custom pieces, antiques, and items that need proper packing rather than a blanket throw. We issue a binding rate before loading so the total is confirmed before we start. No fuel surcharges at delivery, no end-of-trip upcharges, same crew both ends when distance allows.
Packing and Storage
We do targeted packing for high-value items, antiques, artwork, and fragile pieces from homes with distinctive character, and full-service for anyone who wants to hand the job off entirely. Our Lincolnwood warehouse holds shipments between closing and move-in dates, billed on actual cubic feet.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does EZ Movers price a Wilmette move?
We charge by the hour with the full total given before we start. A full single-family home in Wilmette - Victorian, Colonial, or newer construction - typically runs $1,400-$2,600 depending on size and any architectural complications. Smaller condos and townhomes run $600-$1,200. We charge hourly with the total quoted upfront - no end-of-day upcharges, fuel surcharges, or surprise fees.
What is different about moving a vintage Wilmette home versus a newer construction?
Significantly different in practice. Wilmette's historic homes - many built in the 1900s-1930s era - have original staircases narrower than modern builds, period woodwork and millwork throughout, and details like leaded glass and original plaster that need floor protection and door padding to survive the move. Newer construction has standard open-plan layouts with wide hallways. Lakefront condos have building-management protocols: COI requirements, elevator reservations, and scheduled move windows. We ask which situation you are in at booking.
Do Wilmette lakefront condos require COI and building coordination?
Yes. The managed buildings on and near Sheridan Road require a Certificate of Insurance, freight elevator reservations, and often a scheduled move window from building management. We carry $2M in general liability and issue COIs naming your building as additional insured. Give us your building manager's contact at booking and we handle the paperwork directly.
