Handled once, handled right.
Canvases, sculpture, mirrors and casegoods are soft-wrapped, corner-protected, and crated to the piece by the same crew from wall to wall. A signed condition note opens and closes every engagement.

Documented at both ends.
Before the wrap goes on
Each piece’s condition is noted and photographed with you, not for you. You read the note and sign it. Only then does the soft-wrap start.
At delivery
The same note comes back out, and the piece is checked against it line by line before we leave. Most damage disputes in this industry come down to word against word. The note replaces memory with a record both of us signed.
A crate is built to the object, not the other way around.
Four categories, by name.
If a piece isn’t on this list, ask. The honest answer is sometimes a specialist fine-art shipper, and we’ll tell you when it is.
Framed and stretched works, faced, cushioned, and floated in a fitted crate.
Blocked and braced at the points the piece can bear. Those points are chosen at the survey, not on the day.
Corner-protected, faced, and crated to ride upright.
Soft-wrapped and corner-protected, hardware bagged and labeled to come home to the same drawer.
Soft-wrap first.
Crate when the piece asks.
Most pieces travel best soft-wrapped: furniture blanket, corner guards, stretch film over the blanket, not over the finish. A crate is the answer when geometry, glass, or value says so: sized to the object, felt-lined, built before moving day.
Custom crating adds time and cost over blanket-wrap. That’s the honest trade. At the survey we’ll tell you which pieces genuinely earn a crate, and which don’t.
A precise number requires a look.
Crates are sized to pieces, and pieces have to be seen. A short, scheduled visit at your residence, then one figure that reflects your pieces, your building, and your dates.
Art & antiques engagements are priced to the pieces, which is why your exact figure follows the survey, before you commit to anything.
Questions, answered plainly
Do you provide a condition report before and after handling art or antiques?
Yes. A signed condition note at each end of the move, for every piece we crate or wrap.
How are my valuables insured during the move?
That depends on the pieces, which is why we won't answer it generically. We walk through your options at the survey, with the pieces in front of us.
What if I have a piece worth more than standard coverage?
Tell us at the survey. High-value pieces are exactly what the visit exists to see. The plan, the crate, and the paperwork are built around them.
What happens if something is damaged?
We document condition at both ends, with a signed note for every piece, and handle any issue directly with you. Ask us about the process during your survey.
