White Glove Moving in Lexington, MA and Surrounding Areas

Every white glove move is built around three priorities: protect the piece, slow the pace where the piece demands it, and finish the job at a standard the household actually expects. A typical white glove project with us includes the following.

Pre-Move Consultation and Condition Survey
White glove jobs start with a slower, more detailed walkthrough than a standard move. Our team identifies high-value pieces, fragile items, and anything that needs custom handling, custom crating, or specialty padding. We discuss condition documentation, listing each major piece in writing before any wrapping begins. This protects the household, the crew, and the piece itself.

Custom Crating and Specialty Packing
For fine art, mirrors, sculptures, oversized framed pieces, marble tabletops, and items that cannot survive a generic box, we build custom crates to spec. Acid-free paper for paper-based art, archival-grade padding for fabric-sensitive pieces, foam-lined boxes for crystal and porcelain. Materials match what the piece actually requires, not a default box-and-paper approach. For households that already store pieces in original packing crates from a gallery or auction house, we use them.

Fine Art and Gallery-Quality Handling
Our fine art movers handle framed paintings, unframed canvases, prints, photography, mixed media pieces, and sculpture for residences and gallery installations. Each piece is wrapped, padded, and crated according to its medium, never tilted past the angle it tolerates, and loaded into the truck with separation between pieces. For high-value art, we also coordinate with gallery installers, conservators, or appraisers if that is part of the move.

Antique and Heirloom Furniture Moves
Antique armoires, marble-topped buffets, four-poster beds, grandfather clocks, secretary desks, oriental rugs, and inherited dining room sets each have their own handling requirements. Our antique movers disassemble carefully, pad each surface, separate pieces that should not touch in transit, and reassemble at the new home. For pieces that came over on a boat in 1910, the move is treated accordingly.

Designer Furniture and Custom Pieces
Mid-century originals, custom-built sectionals, designer dining tables, signed light fixtures, and modular wall units require a different approach than off-the-shelf furniture. We disassemble only what genuinely needs to come apart, pad finishes that show wear easily, and reassemble exactly to spec. For pieces installed by an interior designer, we coordinate with the designer’s team when needed.

Wine and China Collection Moves
Wine collections need to stay upright and protected from temperature swings during transit. Fine china needs to be packed in dish packs with double-walled cartons. Our crew handles each collection at the pace it deserves, with proper materials and documentation. For temperature-sensitive collections, climate-controlled transport options are available on request.

Estate Moves and Multi-Destination Coordination
White glove work overlaps frequently with estate moves, where pieces are being divided among family members, donated, sold at auction, or moved to a new residence. We coordinate multi-destination drop-offs, work alongside estate attorneys and appraisers when needed, and keep a written inventory throughout the process.

Delivery, Placement, and Debris Removal
At the new address, we place each piece exactly where it belongs, reassemble what needed to come apart, and remove all packing debris. For art installations, we coordinate hanging and placement with the homeowner or designer. The new home is left ready to live in, not staged with crates and boxes.
