WHITE GLOVE MOVING

White Glove Movers in Boston

White glove moving is for belongings that standard handling can’t adequately protect. Fine art, antiques, grand pianos, wine collections, and custom-built furniture all require packing techniques, materials, and transport conditions that go beyond what a typical move provides.

Poseidon Moving has been handling Boston’s most valuable and delicate items since 2004 — from Beacon Hill estates to Back Bay galleries. Every white glove job gets custom crating, climate-controlled transport, and a dedicated coordinator who manages the move from initial assessment through final placement.

PREMIUM SERVICE

What White Glove Includes

Every white glove move starts with a pre-move consultation where we assess each item that requires premium care — dimensions, materials, fragility, and value — then build a custom plan. The accordion on the right breaks down exactly what’s covered beyond our standard residential and commercial moving services.

White glove is available for both local and long distance moves. If your building requires proof of coverage before granting access, we issue a Certificate of Insurance in advance so nothing delays the job.

BEYOND STANDARD

Each item is individually assessed and packed using materials matched to its specific needs. This goes well beyond standard blanket wrapping. Materials include:

✓ Acid-free tissue

✓ Custom foam inserts

✓ Double-boxing

✓ Museum-quality wrap

✓ Wood crates built to size

✓ Corner and edge protection

Temperature and humidity-sensitive items are transported in conditions that prevent warping, cracking, moisture damage, and adhesive failure. Trucks are equipped with air-ride suspension to absorb vibration and GPS tracking for real-time location monitoring throughout transit.

Every item is loaded by hand using furniture pads, straps, and custom rigging. Nothing touches another item during transport. Heavy or oversized pieces are secured with purpose-built bracing so they remain completely stationary from pickup to delivery.

We don’t just deliver. We unpack every item, remove all crating and packing materials, and set up your new space completely:

✓ Furniture reassembled

✓ Electronics reconnected

✓ Artwork hung

✓ Items placed to your direction

A single coordinator manages your move from the initial consultation through the post-move walkthrough. They handle scheduling, building access, crew assignments, and real-time updates. You always have one person to call who knows every detail of your job.

WHEN YOU NEED IT

Items That Require White Glove Care

If you own any of the following, standard moving protection is not enough.

FINE ART

Paintings, Sculptures, and Photography

Oil paintings, framed prints, bronze sculptures, glass installations, and large-format photography. Each piece is individually wrapped in acid-free materials and custom-crated to its exact dimensions.

ANTIQUES

Antiques and Collectibles

Vintage furniture, estate pieces, porcelain collections, and irreplaceable heirlooms. Age makes these items more fragile and more vulnerable to temperature and humidity changes during transport.

INSTRUMENTS

Grand Pianos and Musical Instruments

Grand and baby grand pianos, harps, cellos, and other instruments that are sensitive to impact, humidity, and temperature shifts. Proper padding, bracing, and climate control are mandatory.

WINE

Wine Collections and Cellars

Individual bottles, full collections, and built-in cellar systems. Temperature fluctuations during transit can ruin wine permanently. Climate-controlled transport and vibration-dampened loading prevent that.

ELECTRONICS

High-End AV and Server Equipment

Home theaters, audiophile equipment, server racks, and medical-grade electronics. These require anti-static packing, custom foam inserts, and careful calibration at the destination after installation.

CUSTOM FURNITURE

Designer and Custom-Built Pieces

Marble tabletops, handcrafted cabinetry, chandeliers, and one-of-a-kind commissions. Items that can’t be replaced off a showroom floor require packing and handling matched to their construction.

WHO WE SERVE

Residential and Commercial White Glove

White glove service is available for both home and business relocations. Whether you’re moving a single high-value piece or an entire estate, the level of care is the same.

RESIDENTIAL

Homes and Estates

✓ Full-home luxury relocations
✓ Estate and probate moves
✓ Art and antique transport
✓ Piano and instrument moving
✓ Wine cellar relocations

COMMERCIAL

Offices and Specialized Spaces

✓ Executive office relocations
✓ Medical and lab equipment
✓ Server rooms and IT infrastructure
✓ Gallery and showroom moves
✓ Retail fixture installations

WHY POSEIDON

Why Boston Trusts Poseidon for White Glove

✓

Two Decades Handling Boston’s Most Valuable Items

Beacon Hill brownstones with narrow staircases. Back Bay condos with freight elevator restrictions. Brookline estates with irreplaceable collections. We’ve moved high-value items through every type of Boston building and know the access challenges before we arrive.

✓

Packing Technique That Matches the Item

A marble tabletop doesn’t get packed the same way as a watercolor painting. Our crew assesses each item individually and selects the right combination of materials and methods — acid-free tissue, custom foam, double-boxing, or full wood crating — based on what the piece actually needs.

✓

One Coordinator from Start to Finish

Your dedicated coordinator manages the entire job — scheduling, building access, crew assignments, and real-time updates. You never have to explain your move twice or chase down someone who doesn’t know the details.

✓

Full Insurance with Additional Valuation Options

Every white glove job includes standard liability coverage. For items of extraordinary value, we offer additional valuation protection that covers replacement cost — not just weight-based reimbursement.

✓

Flexible Pricing: Hourly or Flat Rate

Smaller projects — a single piano, a few crated paintings — are billed hourly. Full-home or full-office white glove relocations get a flat rate based on scope. If your dates don’t align, we also offer climate-controlled storage to hold your items safely between pickup and delivery. Either way, you know the number before the job starts.

THE PROCESS

The White Glove Moving Process

Here’s what to expect when you book white glove service with Poseidon Moving.

Pre-Move Consultation

We visit your home or office and assess every item that requires white glove handling. Dimensions, materials, fragility, and value are documented to build a custom packing and transport plan.

Custom Packing and Crating

Each item is wrapped, padded, and crated on-site using materials selected for its specific needs. Crates are built to exact dimensions. Nothing leaves the building until it’s fully secured.

Loading, Transport, and Delivery

Items are hand-loaded into climate-controlled trucks with air-ride suspension. No item touches another during transit. At the destination, everything is unloaded with the same care used during loading.

Setup, Placement, and Post-Move Walkthrough

We unpack, reassemble furniture, reconnect electronics, hang artwork, and place every item exactly where you want it. A final walkthrough with you confirms everything is accounted for and in the condition it left.

QUESTIONS

White Glove Moving Questions Answered

It depends on the number and type of items, distance, and level of custom crating required. Smaller jobs like a single piano or a few crated paintings are billed hourly. Full-home or estate relocations get a flat rate. Request a quote and we’ll build a detailed estimate based on your specific items.

Standard moving includes furniture wrapping, disassembly and reassembly, loading, transport, and placement. White glove adds custom crating, specialty packing materials (acid-free tissue, foam inserts, double-boxing), climate-controlled transport, air-ride suspension, hand loading with custom rigging, full setup at the destination, and a dedicated move coordinator.

Yes. You can combine standard packing and moving for most of your household with white glove handling for specific high-value items. We’ll identify which items need premium care during the consultation and price accordingly.

Yes. Every move includes basic liability coverage at $0.60 per pound per item. For items of extraordinary value, we offer full replacement valuation protection. Your coordinator will walk you through the options during the pre-move consultation.

Yes. White glove is available for both local and long distance relocations. Long distance white glove jobs use dedicated climate-controlled trucks with GPS tracking and air-ride suspension for the full duration of transit.

We recommend at least two to three weeks for white glove moves. Custom crating may need to be fabricated in advance, and the pre-move consultation requires an on-site visit. For estate-scale relocations, four or more weeks of lead time is ideal.
