White-Glove Packing for Art + Antiques in NE Florida

What “White-Glove” Actually Includes

White-glove packing in the moving industry means: every item is inventoried before pack, wrapped to museum-standard protective protocol, crated to specification when needed (oversized art, antique furniture, sculptural pieces), and unpacked at the destination by the same crew that packed it. H2H runs white-glove packs as a separate quote line item — they take 2–3x the labor hours of standard residential packing.

The Northeast Florida Humidity Reality for Art

Florida summer humidity is the worst climate in the country for art transit. Canvas paintings warp; oils develop moisture-trap delamination; antique wood furniture and frames split or warp at the joints. H2H mitigates this with: climate-conscious load timing (we load summer art moves at 6:30 a.m. to avoid heat-of-day truck temp); breathable padding (never plastic-wrapped art); and climate-controlled transport when the load includes meaningful art volume.

Custom Crating

Some pieces need custom crating — oversized canvases, irregularly-shaped sculpture, antique mirrors over 4 feet, glass-top tables, museum-quality casegoods. H2H builds custom crates to the piece’s exact dimensions using climate-stable plywood and foam-padded interiors. Crating happens at our Ponte Vedra Beach yard or onsite at your home, depending on logistics. Quote includes the materials + labor + crate disposal at destination.

Inventory + Insurance

Every item on a white-glove move is photographed before pack, inventoried with a barcode label, and tracked through delivery. H2H carries cargo coverage on every job, with specific high-value declaration available for art moves where individual pieces exceed standard cargo limits. If your art collection is meaningfully valuable, we coordinate with your insurance carrier on a per-piece declaration before move day.
