White Glove Movers in Austin TX — Premium Moving Services for High-Value Homes

Not every move is the same. Some homes have irreplaceable antiques. Some have luxury furnishings that cost more than most cars. Some have art, custom cabinetry, or heirlooms that cannot be replaced by an insurance claim. These moves deserve a higher standard of care — and that's what white glove moving means. Playhouse Moving's white glove service brings heightened attention, specialized materials, additional crew time, and meticulous handling to every item in your home.

What white glove moving means in practice

White glove moving isn't just a marketing phrase — it refers to a specific set of practices. Full furniture disassembly and reassembly: all furniture is broken down to the safest transportable form and rebuilt precisely at the destination. Custom crating for fragile items: artwork, mirrors, glass-top tables, and exceptionally fragile items receive custom crating or additional foam and cardboard protection. Floor, door, and wall protection: cardboard runners, corner guards, and door frame protectors are installed throughout both locations before any item is moved. White-glove unpacking at the destination: items are unwrapped, placed exactly where you want them, and all packing materials are removed.

Items that benefit most from white glove care

Fine art and framed pieces: paintings, sculptures, and large framed works require custom wrapping, corner protection, and vertical transport. Antique furniture: antique wood is particularly vulnerable to scratches, humidity changes, and shock. Luxury and designer furniture: high-end sofas, custom cabinetry, marble and stone surfaces — materials that show damage easily and are expensive to repair. Grand and baby grand pianos: require specialized disassembly, dolly equipment, and particular attention to structural integrity. Electronics and home theater systems: large TVs, custom AV installations, and speaker systems need individual wrapping and careful positioning in the truck.

We also serve Lakeway and surrounding Lake Travis communities for clients with lakefront homes and high-value contents.

How white glove moving is priced

White glove moves are priced hourly with a larger minimum crew size and additional materials included. Because of the extra care, wrapping, and crew time involved, white glove jobs typically run 20–35% longer than standard moves of the same size. We provide a detailed quote before every white glove job. For homes over 3,000 sq ft or moves with significant specialty items, we recommend a pre-move walkthrough so we can plan the job properly and give you an accurate estimate.
