We do not apply a single approach to a diverse collection. Each piece is assessed for material, fragility, size, weight, and transit risk before packing begins. The handling plan for an oil painting is different from the plan for a glass sculpture.
Fine art moves are assigned to crew members with specific training in art handling. General moving crews are not assigned to these jobs.
The crating materials, wrapping supplies, and handling sequence are confirmed before the crew arrives. Moving day for a fine art job is execution, not improvisation.
Every piece is photographed and condition-noted before it leaves your home. The condition report is part of the move file and is available to you throughout the process.
Paintings, sculptures, mirrors, glass works, and other pieces that require rigid protection are crated on-site. Crates are built around the specific dimensions and fragility requirements of each piece, not adapted from a standard template.
Pieces that do not require crating are individually wrapped in acid-free materials and padded blankets. No two pieces are in contact during transit.
We are attentive to temperature and humidity during transport. Long-distance art moves are discussed with the owner in advance to establish whether climate-controlled transport is required for specific pieces.
We place artwork where you direct at the destination. For pieces that were removed from hanging hardware, we can coordinate with your installer or hang works in the new location at your direction.
We review the pieces to be moved, either in person or through photographs and dimensions provided by the owner. Custom crating requirements and special handling needs are confirmed before the move date.
Crates are built and packing is completed at your address. Every piece is condition-documented before it is wrapped or crated. The crew works at a pace that allows careful handling of each item.
Packed and crated pieces are loaded and transported to the destination. At delivery, each piece is unpacked and placed where directed. A final condition check is conducted before the crew leaves.
Every piece is photographed from multiple angles before packing begins. We note any pre-existing damage, marks, or condition issues. This documentation is part of the move record and is available to you throughout the process and for any follow-up after delivery.
Yes. Paintings and other pieces that require rigid protection are crated on-site. Crates are built to the specific dimensions of each piece. We do not use generic stock crates for items that require a custom fit.
We place artwork where you direct. For hanging, we can position pieces against a wall for your installer. Direct wall hanging is available depending on the job requirements. Confirm this during the estimate process.
We are attentive to temperature and humidity conditions during transport. For collections that require climate-controlled transit, we discuss the specific needs during the assessment and plan the transport accordingly.
Yes. We offer climate-controlled storage for art collections. Items are stored with the same care applied during the move. Condition is documented before storage begins.
Paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, ceramics, glass works, photographs, tapestries, antique maps, and mixed media pieces. Each type has a specific handling approach and we assess each individually.
