Your Wilmette Moving Company on the North Shore
Planning a move in or around Wilmette? Jackson Moving & Storage has helped Chicago-area families move for 100 years. As a Wilmette moving company with offices in Franklin Park and Naperville, we handle the packing, loading, transport and setup so you can focus on the next chapter.
Wilmette sits on Lake Michigan between Evanston and Kenilworth, and most of its housing is older and well kept: brick Georgians and colonials, Tudors, Prairie-style homes and bungalows on mature, tree-lined streets, plus condos and apartments near downtown Wilmette, Plaza del Lago and along Sheridan Road. Those homes come with narrow staircases, finished basements, detached garages off alleys and heirloom furniture that needs real padding. Our crews plan for all of it during the estimate, not on moving day.
Whether you’re moving from east of Green Bay Road to a home west of the Edens or leaving the North Shore entirely, request a free quote or call 773-687-0510 to start planning.
Moving Services Built Around Wilmette Homes
No two Wilmette moves look alike. A family moving out of a 1920s Tudor near the lakefront needs a different plan than a couple downsizing from a house on the west side into a downtown condo. We build each plan around your home’s access, your timeline and the items that matter most to you.
Local Moving Services in Wilmette
Moving within Wilmette or to a nearby suburb like Evanston, Winnetka, Glenview or Northbrook? Our local movers handle every step of the job:
- Furniture padding and shrink wrap
- Full-service or fragile-only packing
- Bed, table and furniture disassembly and reassembly
- Floor and doorway protection in older homes
- Careful loading for stairs, basements and alleys
- Placement of furniture and boxes in the rooms you choose
Older Wilmette homes often have tight turns and steep stairways. We take apart what needs to come apart rather than forcing it through a doorway, and we plan truck parking around your street, driveway or alley before moving day.

- Professional boxes, paper and padding brought by your crew

Short-Term and Long-Term Storage
Closing dates on the North Shore don’t always line up, and renovations on older homes often run long. Our storage options include:
- Short-term storage between closings
- Long-term storage during a remodel
- Storage for furniture that won't fit after downsizing
- Delivery to your new home when you're ready
One company handles the move, the storage and the final delivery, so you never have to bring a second mover into the process.

Wilmette Moving FAQs
How far is Wilmette from Jackson Moving & Storage?
Our Franklin Park office at 3310 N Mannheim Road is a straightforward drive to Wilmette on the Tri-State or the Edens, so our crews work on the North Shore regularly. We also move families between Wilmette and nearby Evanston, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Glenview and Northbrook.
How far in advance should I book a Wilmette move?
Book as early as you can, especially for late spring and summer and for the last days of the month. Many Wilmette families plan around the school year, so June through August fills first. Earlier booking gives you more dates and start times to choose from.
Can you move a condo or apartment near downtown Wilmette or Sheridan Road?
Yes. Tell us about elevators, loading areas and building move-in hours when you request your quote. Many buildings require an elevator reservation or a certificate of insurance from the moving company, so ask your management office early and we’ll plan the crew and arrival time around their rules.
Do you offer packing services in Wilmette?
Yes. Choose full-service packing, where our crew packs your whole home, or fragile-only packing for china, glassware, artwork, mirrors and electronics while you pack the rest.
