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!)
Our Precision Specialty Moving Process
1. Detailed Inventory & Consultation We don't do guesswork with high-value items. When you contact us, we discuss the exact dimensions, weight, and fragility of your specialty pieces to provide an accurate quote and prepare the right equipment.
2. Premium In-Home Protection Before the item is moved an inch, we prep the pathway with floor runners. The specialty item is then heavily wrapped in moving blankets, bubble wrap, or specialized paper right where it sits.
3. Strategic Loading & Securing Using our professional dollies and straps, we carefully navigate the item out of your home. It is hoisted into our truck and secured tightly to the walls using heavy-duty ratchet straps to completely eliminate shifting during transit.
4. Gentle Unloading & Exact Placement Upon arrival, we carefully navigate your prized possessions into your new home, unwrap them with precision, and place them exactly where you desire.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you protect fragile antique furniture from scratches?
We use a strict in-home wrapping protocol. Your antique furniture is entirely covered in premium, thick, quilted moving blankets and secured with stretch wrap directly inside the room before we even begin to move it. This ensures it is protected against bumps, dust, and scratches at all times.
Do you have the right equipment to move heavy specialty items like safes or solid wood armoires?
Absolutely. We guarantee that our crew always arrives fully equipped with the right tools to get the job done. For heavy specialty items, we utilize professional heavy-duty dollies, non-marking rubber wheels to protect your floors, and professional hoisting straps to ensure safe, balanced transport.
Am I protected if something happens to my high-value items during the move?
Yes, We Care Professional Moving is a fully licensed and insured moving company. While our premium wrapping techniques and specialized equipment are designed specifically to prevent accidents, our comprehensive insurance provides you with total peace of mind when moving high-value antiques and heirlooms.
