Always Equipped for the Job: The Right Tools Every Time
Discuss furniture wrapping, mattress bags, floor runners, and doorway protection before moving day. Confirm which materials and services are included in the written estimate, and flag delicate finishes or unusual access early.
We never cut corners or use makeshift solutions for your high-value items. Our specialty moving toolkit includes:
Custom Crating & Dish-Pack Boxes: For delicate porcelain, fine china, and smaller fragile items.
Heavy-Duty Appliance & Specialty Dollies: Engineered with non-marking wheels for moving heavy, awkward items like large safes or solid wood armoires without damaging your floors.
Professional Hoisting Straps & Harnesses: Providing perfect balance and weight distribution for exceptionally heavy or oversized pieces.
Thick, Premium Quilted Moving Blankets: Providing maximum shock absorption and scratch protection.
Specialty Items We Handle with Care
Our expert movers are trained in the specific handling protocols for a wide variety of delicate and high-value items, including:
Antiques & Family Heirlooms
Vintage furniture is often more fragile than modern pieces, susceptible to joint stress and surface scratching. We utilize our strict in-home blanket wrapping standard , meticulously padding every inch of the antique before it is moved from its spot.
Fine Art, Sculptures & Mirrors
Large canvases, heavy ornate mirrors, and delicate sculptures require specialized packing. We use thick layers of bubble wrap, custom corner protectors, and specialized picture/mirror boxes to ensure the glass and frames are completely isolated from impact.
Delicate Collections & Glassware
For china cabinets and delicate collections, we implement the same rigorous standards as our full packing services. Every single fragile item is individually protected with premium wrapping paper before being placed into structurally reinforced moving boxes.
Heavy Specialty Items
Not all specialty items are fragile; some are incredibly heavy and awkward. We have the specific equipment and manpower to safely transport bulky items like large gun safes, grandfather clocks, and massive solid-wood dining tables. (Note: Please let us know about these items during your quote so we allocate the proper gear!)
