What affects your price
White-glove pricing reflects time spent slowly and deliberately, not speed. Crews are sized for careful handling rather than throughput, and the pace is intentional — extra padding, a second set of hands on every corner, and protection installed before anything moves.
The item drives the number. A grand piano, a gun safe, a stone-top table, a large mirror, sculpture, or a collection of framed art each need specific equipment and, in some cases, custom crating built to the piece. Crating is often the largest single line on a specialty estimate, and it is what makes high-value transport genuinely safe.
Access and preparation follow: staircase turns, banister and floor protection, doorway removal, hoisting or crane work when a piece will not fit through the building, and site prep in a finished home. Then valuation coverage at the item's real value, condition reporting and inventory photography, and scheduling — a white-glove delivery timed to an installer or a designer costs more than an open window.
Every move is quoted on its own details rather than a flat rate. Send us the specifics and we will price it against the drivers above.
