What items are considered fragile?

We treat china, crystal, glass tables, framed art and mirrors, antiques, electronics, musical instruments, and pianos as fragile and pack them with specialty materials.

How do you protect fragile items during the move?

We use double-walled boxes, foam and bubble cushioning, corner guards, custom crating for high-value items, and load fragile boxes last for upright transport.

Do you offer custom crating?

Yes. We build custom crates for artwork, large mirrors, antiques, and specialty electronics to prevent shock and vibration damage.

Can you move fragile items long-distance?

Yes. We provide fragile-item protection for local Maryland moves and long-distance routes to neighboring and East Coast states.

Do you supply packing materials?

Absolutely. We can provide dish packs, mattress and TV cartons, mirror boxes, foam, wrap, and labels, or perform full-service packing for you.
