Understanding Historic Construction
Historic homes feature unique construction methods, materials, and architectural details that require careful navigation. Our team understands narrow staircases, low doorways, delicate plasterwork, and original flooring that must be protected during the moving process.
Coordination with Preservation Projects
We frequently work with historic preservation societies, restoration contractors, and heritage organizations. Whether moving contents during renovation or relocating to a newly restored property, we coordinate with preservation teams to maintain historical integrity.
Regional Historic Expertise
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh feature some of America’s most significant historic properties. We have extensive experience with Georgian townhouses, Victorian mansions, Federal-style homes, and other regional architectural styles.
Museum and Institution Services
Our historic property expertise extends to museums, historic sites, and cultural institutions. We understand the unique requirements of moving historical collections and maintaining provenance documentation.
Estate Transition Services
Many historic property moves involve estate transitions, downsizing from large heritage homes, or preparing properties for sale. We provide comprehensive services including sorting, valuation coordination, and donation arrangements.
Insurance and Documentation
Historic property moves include comprehensive photographic documentation, detailed inventory, and coordination with specialized insurers who understand the value of period features and historical collections.
