Movers Trained to Protect Specialty Items

We know that our customers’ antiques may have more than just monetary value to them and that these items are often irreplaceable family heirlooms. That's why we offer specialty moving services provided by our experienced, well-trained moving crews.

To provide the extra protection that antique furniture needs, we first make a plan for the best way to handle it, including how we’ll wrap it, move it from your home, and move into your new home. Then, we plan how to manage potential obstacles, such as narrow doorways or stairwells, that may be along the route from your furniture’s original location to our truck or from our truck to your destination.

Your personal moving plan and dedicated, expert move coordinator help ensure your antiques are protected.

Wine collections can be safely moved by using specialty packing materials, such as boxes designed to hold bottles and glassware. Unopened, corked bottles should be packed either upside down or on their sides to ensure the corks remain wet.

Experts at moving specialty services recommend that you create an inventory of the bottles in your collection, including the value of each, prior to your move. If you have an exceptionally high-value collection, you may also want to have it appraised by a professional.

If your new home isn’t ready for you to occupy after you’ve moved out of your former home, MoveDay offers temperature-controlled storage services for specialty items such as wine. You can take advantage of our storage services on a short or long-term basis.

There’s no set price for moving a piano due to several variables, such as the size, type, and weight of the piano. Other factors that can affect the price are the particular circumstances or logistics of moving the piano from point A to point B—stairs, tight corners, the distance from the truck to the room where the piano will go, disassembly/reassembly tasks, how many crew members will be needed, and more.

If you’re searching for "specialty movers near me" to get help moving a piano or other special items, be sure that the moving companies you’re considering give you complete, transparent quotes with no hidden fees. MoveDay’s specialty moving experts will be glad to provide an accurate quote for moving your piano or other large, specialty items.

Due to their size and weight, moving major appliances should always be left to a moving company that offers specialty moving services. Safely transporting appliances requires equipment such as furniture straps, a high-quality dolly, padded wrapping, and, most importantly, experienced specialty movers who are trained in moving large, heavy items. The disassembly and reassembly can sometimes require a professional as well.

Custom crating can be the perfect solution for keeping your specialty items safe during your move. At MoveDay, custom crating is one of our packing service options for items that may be irregularly sized or especially delicate. Crates are carefully constructed to be strong and stable to help ensure your item has the best possible protection. Your dedicated move coordinator will be happy to answer your questions about the specific items you have that may need custom crating.

Absolutely. Our century of experience in the industry has provided us with the knowledge, equipment and workforce needed to properly move an item such as a safe. Our team has the ability to move the heaviest and largest safes, gun safes and vault doors. We use industry-leading equipment to perform the most difficult moves, and have the experience to work around any issue – including complex in-home placement of the safe, such as on a second floor, in a small room, or even up a spiral staircase.

Our team is trained to not only protect your safe, but your home as well. When moving a heavy item like a safe in or out of a home, stability and preparation is key. We provide the tools and strength to provide stability, and where that may fail, we prepare with materials protecting your home’s walls, staircases, door frames and floors. Our team knows how to plan for every possibility, and guard against any damage to your home or property.

It’s simple – our quick and easy estimation process will allow for you to get a budget for your requested specialty moving service, and it will be followed up by a more thorough conversation with a representative. We provide fast, accurate moving estimates based on a few key pieces of information, and then the follow up conversation with a representative allows both sides to get more in-depth and ask further questions. With a complete understanding of the task at hand, we can provide you with the best options suited for your specific needs, as well as a transparent and easy-to-understand quote for our moving services.

Even when it comes to specialty moving services, there will never be any hidden fees or surprises at the end of your move. We want all of our customers to feel confident every mile of their move, and only pay for the services they need – and none they don’t.
