Can You Move a Logan Square Boulevard Home With Antiques?

Can You Move a Logan Square Boulevard Home With Antiques?

Last updated: October 2026

Yes. Boulevard homes get experienced crews and optional white glove handling for the original woodwork and collections.

Logan Square's boulevards are lined with some of the grandest homes on the Northwest Side. Big greystones and mansions with original woodwork and carved staircases. Rooms full of antiques and art. Moving one of them means protecting the house and everything in it, since a century-old boulevard home is the kind of place where the staircase and the trim matter just as much to the owners as the heirlooms that are going on the truck.

Protecting the house

Floors, door frames, and stairs get protected on every move, at no charge. In a boulevard home, the crew also pads banisters and original trim before anything moves. Read how we protect floors and homes.

Original woodwork

Carved banisters and built-in cabinets can't be easily replaced. The crew plans each big piece's path through the house so nothing swings into the woodwork on a turn.

Antiques and collections

Antiques are wrapped one piece at a time. No shortcuts. Mirrors come off dressers, tops lift off sideboards, and doors come off wardrobes when that makes the move safer. For oversized, glass-faced, or high-value pieces, we build custom crates ourselves. Read our antique furniture moving guide and do you build custom crates for art, mirrors, and fragile items.

Pianos and clocks

Big older homes often have pianos and grandfather clocks. Read can you move a grand piano and how do you prepare a grandfather clock for the move.

When a piece won't fit

Old staircases were built for the furniture of their time. If a modern piece won't make the turn, we take it apart if it comes apart. If not, our hoisting and crane service can bring it in another way.

White glove

With white glove, we handle every step of the move. You let us in, and when we leave, you can start living in your new place. Read white glove vs. standard moving.

Parking on the boulevard

Boulevard addresses often don't need parking permits, unlike many Logan Square side streets. Tell us your block, and we'll confirm what's needed. Read do I need a parking permit to move in Chicago.

Farmers market mornings

If you're near the monument, Sunday farmers market mornings in season can make things busy. Read is there a day to avoid moving near the Logan Square monument.

Winter

If your home faces a main street, Chicago's winter overnight parking ban may matter. Read does Chicago's winter parking ban affect a Logan Square move.

Coverage

Every move includes our standard coverage, which is based on weight. For valuable pieces, you can buy full coverage insurance through us or through your own insurer.

Pricing

Boulevard moves are hourly, with a 2-hour minimum. Our pricing doesn't change with the season.

Boulevard homes are covered on our Logan Square movers page and our antique furniture moving service, part of our moving services.
