Moving In or Out of Capitol Hill

Capitol Hill runs from Colfax Avenue south to 7th Avenue, and from Broadway east to Downing Street, with the State Capitol inside its boundaries. It began as a district of mansions built around the Capitol. As the city grew, many of those mansions were converted into apartments and condos or replaced by larger apartment buildings, and today Capitol Hill is the most densely populated neighborhood in the city. That history is exactly what makes moving here different.

Most Capitol Hill moves involve an apartment or condo: older walk-ups without elevators, converted mansions with narrow staircases, or newer buildings with elevator reservations and loading rules. Street parking fills early, and many blocks are lined with mature trees. Our office sits on Pennsylvania Street just north of Colfax, a few blocks away, and we also move neighbors in the Central Business District, Five Points, and Baker.

Apartment and Condo Movers: Walk-ups and elevator buildings alike. We plan the crew around the number of flights and send your building our certificate of insurance when it asks for one. See our residential moving service.
Historic Home Movers: Converted mansions and older homes get floor runners, padded banisters, and a pre-move consultation for any home built before 1950.
Piano Movers: Uprights and grands up and down walk-up stairs with the right boards and straps. See piano moving.
Packing Help: Full or fragile-only packing, usually the day before the move.
Office and Business Movers: Offices and storefronts along Colfax and beyond, with on-site estimates and a schedule built around your business hours. See commercial moving.
Short-Notice Moves: Found an apartment sooner than planned? Call us and we will check the schedule right away.

Ron Ferguson, owner of Abe Lincoln Movers “Capitol Hill moves come down to stairs and doorways. A lot of the buildings here went up long before anyone owned a sectional, so we measure the tight spots ahead of time and size the crew around the number of flights, not just the number of rooms.” Ron, Owner of Abe Lincoln Movers

Nature T.

I had to schedule a move with one day notice. Ron at the office scheduled it and confirmed all details. So kind. Roman and Troy who moved my stuff were amazing. Both so nice. They showed up early and each had a dolly. I had moved using ABF freight so first they took my stuff off the ABF truck and packed it into a Uhaul. Then we drove to a temp home and they unloaded the Uhaul and packed the stuff in a garage. They were fast, efficient and very careful with my stuff. When I get my own place, I will definitely call them for that move! Thanks Ron, Roman and Troy!!

Response from the owner:We really appreciate your business and stellar review! We look forward to helping you again and wish you all the best!

Will It Fit? Stairwell and Doorway Checker

Pick a piece of furniture or enter its measurements, then measure your narrowest door and your stair landing. You will see whether it goes straight through, needs to be tilted or stood on end, or needs a plan.

Quick rule: an item fits through a door when its smallest dimension is narrower than the door. On a stair landing, anything longer than the landing's diagonal has to be stood on end to make the turn. Tell us your tightest measurements when you ask for a quote.

Around the landing

A rough guide, not a guarantee. Tilting, removing legs or doors, and other tricks change the math, so our crew measures the tight spots during your walkthrough. Nothing you enter here is sent or saved.

Capitol Hill Buildings and What Moving Day Looks Like

Capitol Hill packs nearly every kind of building into a few square blocks. Find yours to see what usually shapes the day and what to sort out ahead of time.

Walk-up apartment buildings

Older brick buildings, many with no elevator.

Every carry goes up and down the stairs, so the number of flights drives the crew size and the hours. The truck usually parks on the street out front.

Tell us: Your floor number and where the truck can stop

Residential moving →

Mansions converted to apartments and condos

Grand old homes split into units.

Narrow back stairs, tight landings, and original woodwork. Large pieces often need to tilt or come apart, and banisters and floors need padding.

Tell us: Your narrowest door and stair landing (use the checker above)

Specialty moving →

Condo and apartment buildings with elevators

Mid-size and taller buildings with shared elevators.

The building sets the pace: elevator reservations, set move hours, and often a certificate of insurance from your mover before move day.

Tell us: Your elevator window and the building's insurance requirements

Packing solutions →

Historic single-family homes

Surviving mansions and older houses.

More rooms, heavier furniture, and finishes worth protecting. Pianos and antiques are common, and pre-move planning keeps the day on schedule.

Tell us: Large or fragile pieces, and any piano

Piano moving →
