Protecting Fine Art & Antiques During Relocation — Professional Moving Services

Your standard moving box is completely inadequate for a 19th-century oil painting or a delicate Ming vase. Protecting high-value art requires a completely different echelon of moving protocols. ### Custom Wooden Crating For anything highly valuable or exceptionally fragile, we build bespoke wooden crates lined with dense foam. The item is suspended inside the crate, absorbing all shocks from the road. ### Temperature and Humidity Moving a Renaissance painting in the middle of a freezing Canadian winter without climate control can cause the paint to crack and the canvas to warp. Dedicated [Art & Antique Moving](/services/art-antique-moving) vehicles maintain a strict baseline temperature. ### White-Glove Handling Movers wear literal white cotton gloves to prevent skin oils from damaging surfaces. Pieces are never stacked, and the transport route is carefully optimized to avoid highly bumpy roads.
