Antique Furniture Transport in Birmingham, Alabama

If you are comparing antique movers in Birmingham, choose a provider that plans for the item, the access, the route, and the protection it needs—not simply the distance between two addresses.

- Fragile architectural pieces and decorative objects
- High-value items requiring enclosed transport and direct accountability
How Slohaven protects your antique
Every project begins with the details: dimensions, condition, fragile elements, pickup and delivery access, distance, and placement needs.
Depending on the item and job, service may include:
- Clean enclosed transport equipment
- Moving blankets and protective wrapping
- Careful loading and unloading
- Securement designed to limit movement in transit
- Pickup and delivery coordination
- Room-of-choice placement when arranged in advance
- Direct communication from the owner-operated team
We will also tell you honestly when an item requires custom crating, specialized rigging, or another service outside our scope.
Owner-operated from pickup to delivery
You work directly with the Slovensky family—not a call center or a chain of unknown subcontractors. That means clear scheduling, direct answers, and accountability throughout the trip.

Birmingham-based, serving the Southeast
Slohaven is based in Birmingham and provides quote-based transport throughout Alabama and across the Southeast. Interstate projects are evaluated individually based on the item, route, timing, access, labor, and protection required.
What determines the quote?
Antique transport pricing depends on:
- Pickup and delivery locations
- Distance and scheduling
- Item size, weight, condition, and fragility
- Stairs, elevators, tight turns, or limited access
- Number of people needed for safe handling
- Placement, packing, or special protection requirements
Photos help us understand the item and prepare an accurate quote. A street address is not required for the initial request.
Frequently asked questions
Do you provide full household moves?
Slohaven is a specialty transport provider rather than a traditional full-service household mover. We focus on select furniture, antiques, valuable items, and specialty projects.
Can you pick up an auction purchase?
Yes. We can coordinate with auction houses, antique dealers, estate sales, retailers, and private sellers when the item and route fit our service.
Do you transport antiques across state lines?
Yes. Slohaven maintains active interstate property authority and evaluates long-distance projects individually.
Do you offer crating?
We provide protective handling, wrapping, securement, and enclosed transport. If an item requires custom crating or specialized rigging, we will identify that need before booking.

60" x 60" oil painting
A real Slohaven transport sequence: the oversized oil painting at pickup, layered blanket protection with multiple straps, and final securement to the trailer's E-track inside clean enclosed equipment. The planning accounted for the painting's size, weight, surface protection, movement in transit, and safe unloading.
Hand-carved Indian chest, protected for direct transport
A real Slohaven antique transport: this substantial hand-carved wooden chest was documented at pickup, blanket-wrapped to protect its finish and carved details, and secured inside clean enclosed equipment for direct delivery. The plan accounted for the chest’s weight, hardware, surface protection, and movement in transit.
