Premium labour intensity
White glove pricing reflects the fact that the crew is expected to move more carefully, protect more thoroughly, and spend more time on setup and detail.
Premium moving service
White glove moving for high-value and detail-sensitive moves
White glove moving is built for customers who need more handling care, more preparation, and more control over how sensitive items are moved.
What's included in this service
White glove moving builds on full-service moving and packing, but with a higher execution standard. The service is designed for customers who want every detail handled carefully, including protective wrapping, furniture setup, and optional add-on coordination that would normally sit outside a standard move.
Depending on the project, white glove service can also include premium-level support such as appliance disconnection, appliance reconnection, TV mounting coordination, TV unmounting, and even cleaning if that scope is approved in advance. Crews are generally scheduled with more time so the priority stays on quality rather than speed.
- Loading, transportation, unloading, and room placement with premium handling standards
- Enhanced furniture protection, wrapping, and blanket coverage
- Packing and unpacking support as part of a more complete move scope
- Disassembly and reassembly of furniture
- Optional coordination for cleaning, TV mounting or unmounting, and appliance plugging or unplugging when approved in advance
- More deliberate scheduling so the crew can focus on execution quality
What's not included in this service
White glove does not mean every specialty requirement is automatically bundled into the base quote. Customers should still identify art, antiques, highly regulated items, and anything that may require custom crating, specialist handling, or a separate vendor.
The service is premium by design, but it still depends on accurate planning. A detailed inventory and advance discussion remain essential so the moving crew, materials, and timing all match the actual needs of the project.
- Automatic custom crating for every fragile or valuable item
- Specialist conservation or museum-grade handling unless separately arranged
- Assuming every premium add-on is included without being listed in the estimate
- Hazardous, prohibited, or otherwise non-transportable items
How pricing works for this service
White glove moving is typically billed with the same moving fundamentals as other services, but the estimate usually reflects more labour time, more protective materials, and more careful pacing. The goal is not to minimize time at all costs, but to complete the move to a higher standard.
More materials and preparation
Higher-end moves often require more blankets, wrapping, specialty supplies, and pre-move planning than a standard residential booking.
Expanded service scope
If the move includes packing, appliance service coordination, mounting work, cleaning, or specialty item handling, those add-ons are priced into the estimate.
Final pricing depends on the move location, inventory, access conditions, timing, and the exact service mix selected in the quote flow.
