The items most movers won't touch.

Grand pianos. Gun safes over 1,000 lbs. Marble tabletops. Framed oil paintings. Seventeenth-century grandfather clocks. If it's heavy, fragile, or irreplaceable, our specialty crew was trained specifically for it — and every job carries custom crating and full-value protection.

How specialty moving works

Four steps. Zero improvisation.

Specialty moves fail when crews improvise. Every item we move gets a written plan — approach, rigging, crating, transport, and placement — before we touch it.

01

Photo & dimensions survey

You send us photos of the item and the access path — stairs, corners, doorways, elevators. We confirm weight, dimensions, and the safest route out.

02

Custom crating on-site

For art and mirrors: museum-grade crates built to the exact dimensions. For pianos: piano boards, quilted pads, and skid plates. For safes: steel pallets.

03

Rigging & transport

Lift-gate trucks, stair-climbing dollies, and air-ride suspension for anything with a finish. Strapped, padded, and never stacked with other items.

04

Placement & tuning

We place the item exactly where you want it — not where it's easiest to drop. Pianos are placed, leveled, and we can refer you to a Denver tuner for post-move tuning.

Custom crating, built on-site

We build the crate around the item.

Off-the-shelf crates are a compromise. For anything over $2,000 in value — or anything with a finish that would show damage — we build a crate to the exact dimensions of the piece, in our warehouse or at your home.

  1. Measured & templated

    We take exact dimensions of length, width, height, and any protrusions (frames, handles, hardware). The crate is designed with 2 inches of clearance on all sides.

  2. 3/4-inch plywood base & walls

    Not cardboard, not thin luan. Every crate starts with a 3/4-inch plywood base and walls, screwed — not stapled — together. Screws can be removed and reinstalled without weakening the crate.

  3. Closed-cell foam cushioning

    Ethafoam planks cut to the exact profile of the piece. Not bubble wrap. The item never touches plywood directly — foam absorbs shock, vibration, and temperature shifts in transit.

  4. Soft-wrap inner layer

    Acid-free tissue for fine art. Microfiber quilted pads for furniture, mirrors, and instruments. This layer touches the finish — everything else protects against shock.

  5. Handles, labeling & documentation

    Every crate gets side handles for two-person carry, "this side up" arrows, a photography-documented contents list, and a numbered tag tied to your move file.

What we specialize in

Every item that needs more than a dolly.

These are the categories our specialty crew handles most often. If your item isn't listed but needs special handling — wine collections, grandfather clocks, statues, antiques, instrument collections — call us and describe it. We'll tell you honestly if we can move it.

Insurance built in

Full-value protection, not basic coverage.

Standard movers carry basic valuation — around $0.60 per pound per item. For a 20-pound painting, that's $12 of coverage. Specialty items need real insurance, and every job we run is covered by full-value protection unless you decline it in writing.

  • Full-value protection included Every specialty move includes full-value protection by default — the item is covered for repair or replacement at its fair market value.
  • Documented condition report We photograph the item before, during crating, and after delivery. Every condition report is signed by you and filed to your move record.
  • Appraisal support If the item has an appraisal or receipt, we attach it to the file. Claims are processed in-house within 7 business days.
  • Individual item coverage limits For items valued over $50,000 we can add a rider through our carrier at cost. Details on the Liability & Insurance page.
