Tacoma Antique Movers

Antique Moving in Tacoma

Tacoma’s historic neighborhoods are full of furniture that’s older than the houses it sits in: oak sideboards, pianos, china cabinets, and family pieces handed down for generations. Our Tacoma antique movers plan every piece before it moves, with extra padding, custom wrapping, and careful loading.

“Nothing broke, piano moved along with the rest of our stuff for a 150+ mile move.”

How We Handle Antiques

• Each piece reviewed with you before moving
• Extra blankets and shrink wrap
• Legs, corners, and carvings padded separately
• Glass and mirrors packed in their own cartons
• Loaded upright and strapped in place
• Reassembled and placed at your new home

Getting Antiques Out of Older Homes

Moving an antique out of a North Slope or Stadium District house adds its own challenges: tight turns on original staircases, narrow doorways, and trim you don’t want scratched. We measure first, take apart what can safely come apart, and pad both the piece and the house.

Preparing Your Antiques for the Move

1. Photograph each piece

   Clear photos from a few angles give you a record of condition before the move.

2. Point out repairs and weak joints

   Loose legs, old glue, and fragile veneer change how a piece should be handled.

3. Empty heavy drawers

   Heavy contents strain old joinery. We’ll tell you which pieces should be emptied.

4. Ask about valuation coverage

   Basic coverage on any move is limited, so ask about valuation options for high-value pieces before moving day.
