Every piece gets its own method.

Instruments

Piano Moving

Spinets and uprights, baby grands, parlour grands and nine-foot concert instruments — plus organs, harpsichords and antique player pianos.

• Preparation. The lid and fallboard are secured, the lyre and legs removed on grands, and every fitting is bagged, tagged and travels with the instrument.
• Support. Grands are strapped to a padded piano board and skid; uprights are covered edge to edge and moved on purpose-built dollies.
• Access. Stairs, tight turns, balconies and crane or hoist lifts when a doorway simply will not give. We measure before the truck is booked.
• After delivery. Reassembled, leveled and positioned away from vents and direct sun. Let it acclimate a couple of weeks, then tune — we can refer a technician.

Fine Art

Paintings, Sculpture & Gallery Pieces

Canvases, framed works on paper, mirrors, bronzes, marble and large-format installations for private collectors, galleries, designers and corporate collections.

• Wrapping. Glassine or acid-free tissue against the surface, foam corners on the frame, then a rigid outer layer. Nothing abrasive ever touches paint or gilding.
• Crating. Custom travel frames and wooden crates built to the piece for long-distance moves, storage or shipping.
• Transport. Works travel upright and braced, never flat under weight, in a padded air-ride vehicle.
• Installation. Hanging, leveling and securing at the destination, including heavy mirrors and multi-panel works.

Heirlooms

Grandfather & Longcase Clocks

The most commonly damaged item in any household move, and almost always because it was moved like furniture instead of like a machine.

• Movement first. Weights are removed and marked left, center and right; the pendulum is taken down; chime rods and cables are secured so nothing swings or tangles in transit.
• The case. Glass panels and the door are protected and immobilized, the bonnet packed separately, and the case blanket-wrapped and braced to travel upright.
• Setup. Reassembled at the destination, leveled front to back and side to side, weights rehung in their original positions and the beat set so it runs true.

Antique Furniture

Armoires, Wardrobes & Case Goods

Armoires, highboys, secretaries, curio cabinets, china hutches, dining tables, four-poster beds and pool tables.

• Disassembly. Doors, shelves, crowns and mirrors come off where the piece was built to come apart — and only where it was.
• Protection. Shrink over pads (never plastic directly on old finish), marble and glass crated flat and carried on edge, veneer and inlay corner-guarded.
• Reassembly. Rebuilt in the destination room, doors realigned, drawers checked and the piece leveled on uneven floors.

Final Mile

New Furniture Delivery & Receiving

White glove final-mile service for interior designers, furniture showrooms, auction buyers and homeowners who would rather not have their new sofa left in the driveway.

• Receiving & inspection. We take delivery, inspect for freight damage and photograph the condition before anything reaches your client.
• Deluxing. Unboxed, cleaned, assembled and inspected again so it arrives ready to be looked at, not unpacked.
• Placement. Carried in, placed to the floor plan, leveled and adjusted — with floor and door protection throughout.
• Debris removal. Cartons, foam, straps and pallets leave with us.

Heavy & Rigged

Safes, Vaults & Heavy Equipment

Gun safes, jewelry and floor safes, commercial vaults, industrial machinery, gym equipment, statuary and anything else that reads four digits on the scale.

• Assessment. Weight, dimensions, floor ratings, stair construction and turning radii checked before the date is set.
• Equipment. Stair-climbing dollies, machinery skates, rigging, ramps and liftgates — plus plywood and Masonite over finished floors.
• Placement. Set exactly where you want it, leveled and re-anchored to the floor or wall where required.

High Value

Valuables & Private Collections

Jewelry, silver services, coin and stamp collections, wine, firearms, memorabilia, rare books and sensitive documents.

• Inventory. Itemized and photographed at origin, sealed, and reconciled with you at delivery.
• Custody. A named crew from load to unload. Direct point-to-point routing with no warehouse stop and no co-loading.
• Discretion. Background-checked crews, unmarked vehicle options and confidentiality as standard for private clients.

Packing

Custom Crating & Packing

When padding is not enough, we build the box around the object — on site, to the millimeter.

• Wooden crates, travel frames and foam-lined cavities cut to the piece
• Chandeliers, marble tops, oversized canvases, statuary and lab or medical equipment
• Full-house or single-room packing with archival materials for fragile and antique items
• Crates built for onward air or ocean freight where required
