White-glove specialty moving for pianos, fine art, antiques, safes, and fragile items across New Jersey. Custom crating and climate-aware transport.
Not all belongings can be moved with standard techniques. Pianos require specialized dollies and ramp angles. Antiques need custom wrapping protocols. Fine art requires climate consideration. Century Moving Services provides specialty moving services for items that demand extra care.
Our specialty moving team is trained in handling high-value, fragile, and oversized items throughout New Jersey and on interstate routes. Every specialty move is planned, not improvised.
Upright, baby grand, and grand pianos moved with piano-specific dollies, padded boards, and ramp systems. Interior staircases and narrow doorways handled with care.
Paintings, sculptures, and framed artwork wrapped in acid-free materials and transported in position-controlled truck space to prevent damage.
Antiques moved with white-glove protocols: no power tools used, all hardware catalogued and bagged, custom blanket wrapping for each piece.
Heavy safes moved using specialized equipment. We assess floor load capacity, staircase geometry, and exit paths before any safe is relocated.
For extremely fragile or irregularly shaped items, we build custom wooden crates on-site to provide maximum protection during transport.
Pool tables, large aquariums, arcade equipment, and other oversized items handled by experienced crews with the right tools for the job.
We review photos or conduct an in-home visit to assess the item, access conditions, and the appropriate handling protocol before quoting.
We create a written plan covering equipment, crew size, wrapping materials, and routing to ensure safe handling from origin to destination.
Our specialty crew executes the move with precision. You receive confirmation at pickup and delivery. Nothing moves without your approval.
Standard moving protocols are designed for standard furniture. Pianos, fine art, antiques, safes, and custom installations require a different level of preparation, equipment, and expertise. Century Moving Services offers specialty moving services for homeowners, galleries, collectors, and businesses throughout New Jersey that need items moved without risk of damage.
A full upright piano weighs between 400 and 800 pounds. A baby grand can weigh over 600 pounds and measures up to 5 feet in width. Moving a piano through a residential doorway or down a staircase without the right equipment and technique causes floor damage, wall damage, and injury. Our piano movers use piano-specific skid boards, four-wheel dollies, and padded ramp systems designed for the instrument's weight distribution. We move pianos locally within New Jersey and on interstate routes.
Fine art and antiques require moving protocols that go beyond standard furniture blankets. Paintings are wrapped in glassine paper before any padded covering is applied. Frames are corner-protected individually. Antique furniture receives a pre-move condition report and is wrapped in a combination of soft blankets and stretch film without direct contact between the stretch film and finished wood surfaces.
We work with private collectors, estate executors, interior designers, and gallery owners throughout New Jersey. For high-value collections, we recommend a pre-move inventory review and can coordinate with your insurance carrier as needed. The American Moving and Storage Association provides additional guidance on valuation options for specialty items.
Residential and commercial safes range from 200 to over 1,500 pounds. Moving a safe requires a structural assessment of the floor, staircase, and exit path before any equipment is brought in. Our specialty crew uses stair-climbing dollies, heavy-duty straps, and load distribution boards. We do not move safes over staircases without prior site assessment.
For items that cannot be adequately protected with standard moving materials, we build custom wooden crates on-site. Crating is recommended for oversized artwork, sculptures, antique mirrors, and items with irregular shapes that cannot be secured without a rigid outer container. Custom crates are built to the item's exact dimensions with internal foam inserts.
