White-Glove
White-glove movers with museum-grade care
Fine art. Antiques. Pianos. Wine cellars. Custom crates, in-home wrap, and crews who have done it a thousand times.
White-glove moving is what people mean when they say "I do not trust just anyone with this." Grand pianos. Fine art collections. Antique furniture. Wine cellars. We crate, pad, blanket, shrink-wrap, and place — with crews who have moved these items hundreds of times. Custom-built crates for the items that need them. Documented condition photos at origin and destination. Insurance coverage matched to the appraised value of what we are moving.
