Specialty & High-Value Item Movers
Antique & Fine Art Movers in Jacksonville, FL
Antiques, artwork, and family heirlooms — handled with custom padding and extra care, not treated like standard furniture.
Antiques and fine art carry a different kind of risk than everyday furniture — value that isn't always about size or weight, and sometimes fragility or sentimental weight that a scratch or ding can't undo. We slow down for these pieces, use padding and wrapping suited to the specific item, and can arrange custom crating for especially valuable or fragile work.
How we handle antiques differently
Older furniture often has different structural weaknesses than modern pieces — loose joints, veneer, delicate carving. We assess each piece rather than wrapping everything the same way, and we're careful about climate exposure during loading and transport, especially in Florida's humidity.
Fine art and framed pieces
Paintings, framed art, and mirrors get corner protection and rigid packaging to prevent flexing or glass breakage, and are loaded last so nothing heavy ends up stacked against them.
Custom crating
For especially valuable or fragile pieces, we can arrange custom wood crating built to the item's exact dimensions — ask us about this when you book if you have a piece that warrants it.
Antique & Fine Art Movers FAQ
Do you provide custom crating for valuable pieces?+
Yes, we can arrange it for pieces that warrant the extra protection — let us know ahead of time so we can plan for it.
How do you protect artwork and framed pieces during a move?+
Corner protection and rigid packaging to prevent flexing, and careful loading so nothing else gets stacked against them in the truck.
Do you have insurance that covers high-value antiques?+
We carry standard mover's insurance — for especially high-value pieces, ask us about additional valuation coverage options before your move.
Can you move a single antique piece, not a full household?+
Yes — see our single-item & heavy furniture movers page for that kind of request, with the same careful handling applied.
Do you bring your own moving equipment, like dollies?+
Yes — every crew brings furniture dollies, hand trucks, and moving straps as standard equipment. You don't need to provide or rent anything.
Do you provide floor runners or floor protection in the house?+
Yes — floor runners and protective coverings are standard on every move, especially for hardwood, tile, and carpeted stairs. It's not an upcharge or something you need to request separately.
Do you protect the furniture with moving pads?+
Yes — furniture is wrapped in moving pads and blankets before it's loaded, to protect it from scuffs and damage in transit. This is standard on every move.
Do you wrap furniture in plastic or shrink wrap too?+
For upholstered furniture, mattresses, and anything that benefits from an extra layer — especially in Florida's humidity — yes, shrink wrap over the moving pads is common practice.
Will you protect doorways, corners, and railings during the move?+
Yes — door jamb protection and corner guards are part of our standard setup, especially in tighter hallways, stairwells, and apartment or condo buildings.
Do you strap items down in the truck so nothing shifts in transit?+
Yes — everything is strapped and secured in the truck before we drive, so nothing shifts, tips, or slides during transport.
