Specialty White Glove Movers in Seattle for Items That Need Extra Care
Boxing up clothes and books is one thing. Moving a piano, a heavy safe, a pool table, original artwork or a piece of lab equipment is another. Items like these are awkward, heavy or fragile, and they need more planning, more padding and more hands than an ordinary box. Our Seattle specialty white glove movers take that extra care with every piece, for homes and businesses alike.
Puget Sound Moving is a family-owned company founded in Seattle in 2009, with more than 20,000 moves completed. Every crew member is a full-time, background-checked employee, and our packers are ISPM-15 certified. We work from five offices across the Puget Sound (Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, Kent and Tukwila) and handle specialty items on local and long distance moves alike.
Specialty Items We Move
- Pianos
- Pool tables
- Safes
- Artwork, mirrors and framed glass
- Antiques and heirloom furniture
- Household appliances
- Medical and lab equipment
Mention every specialty item when you book. Knowing about them ahead of time lets our Seattle specialty white glove movers arrive with the right crew size and materials, so nothing gets improvised on move day.
What White Glove Handling Means
Extra padding and custom wrapping
Delicate pieces get additional padding and wrapping fitted to their shape, with legs and corners protected where they’re most likely to take a knock.
Glass and mirrors packed separately
Glass tops, shelves and mirrors come off and are packed on their own instead of riding in place on the furniture.
Loaded upright and strapped
Specialty pieces ride upright and strapped in place so they don’t shift on the drive, whether that’s across Seattle or across the state.
Custom crating when needed
For items that need more protection than wrapping, we can build a custom wooden crate at an extra cost.
The basics come standard on every move: moving blankets and shrink wrap, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and floor and door frame protection. There are no stair fees or elevator fees, which matters when a piano has to come down the front steps of a Seattle hillside home.
Residential and Commercial Specialty Moves
At home
Pianos, pool tables, safes, art collections and appliances are common specialty items on a house move. We can combine them with the rest of your move, or move just the specialty pieces on their own, whether you’re in a Seattle condo or a house in Tacoma or Kent.
In labs and offices
Medical and lab equipment needs careful planning around building access, freight elevators and loading docks. We handle elevator reservations and certificates of insurance. See our commercial moving page for office relocations.

Specialty Moving Questions
Do you offer extra coverage for valuable or specialty items?
Yes. Valuation coverage is available at an added cost. Basic coverage is limited, so we recommend asking about valuation options for anything of significant value. If anything is damaged, report it within 48 hours and we’ll repair or replace it.
What kinds of specialty items can your white glove movers handle?
Our white glove movers in Seattle handle pianos, pool tables, safes, artwork, antiques, appliances, and medical and lab equipment, among others. Mention each one when you book so we can plan for it.
How should I prepare these items before the movers arrive?
Disconnect washers, refrigerators with water lines and fixtures ahead of time, and empty appliances. Our movers can’t disconnect gas lines or do plumbing or electrical work.
Do I need my own moving supplies?
No. Blankets, shrink wrap and floor protection come with every move, and our packing team can handle boxes and custom crates for fragile items.
Can you store specialty items?
Yes. Our storage facility is temperature controlled and alarmed, with belongings kept in solid wood vaults until you’re ready for delivery.
What Customers Say
Real Google reviews of Puget Sound Moving, labeled with the office that did the move.
these 3 guys were professionals… shrink wrap everything that could possibly have a wiggle in it
So very helpful and fast. I loved how gently the handled my belongs. Have some beloved antiques and they came thru great!
The guys they sent were in and out super quick. Nothing broke, piano moved along with the rest of our stuff for a 150+ mile move. Also far less expensive than I’d expected, especially after getting a few quotes.
