Art is often one of the most precious belongings a person can have – that means that keeping these types of items safe during a move is of the utmost importance. Lucky for you, Muscle Man Moving & Piano Experts has almost two decades of experience moving the most delicate of items.
“Mike and Blake were our crew. Our move included a 1920s player piano that just recently underwent a nearly $10k restoration, several other antique heirlooms including a marble top table, original ‘wavy glass’ china cabinet, etc. They were quick, careful, and our belongings didn’t suffer even a scratch. Same with the dwellings on both ends of the move. We can’t speak highly enough about Mike and Blake. Thank you, gentlemen! Incredibly reasonable fee too.”
“Mike, Blaise and Blake moved a MASSIVE printing press for me. They were amazing. Professional, responsive, and they thought on their feet in order to get this piece of equipment moved. They saved me hundreds of dollars by being able to move this with fewer people. You can tell they are extremely experienced. 100% recommend.”
“Outstanding service, we had several fragile antique items, some with glass surfaces or cases, and all were handled with delicate care and delivered in perfect condition. They managed to Tetris all of our furniture into the truck, and quite literally did all of the heavy lifting, making the actual move seamless.”
“My two movers were Johnny and Luis. They were both professional, efficient, and treated my furniture like it was theirs. I couldn’t ask for more conscientious movers to wrap, unwrap. and reassemble my furniture or move my fragile items. Everything arrived at my new home in the same condition it left my previous one.”
“They came with an abundance of blankets, straps, and dollies. I was impressed by how carefully and deftly they wrapped, dismantled, and secured everything in the truck. They were very careful with her things which included marble-top tables, framed art, lamps, and fragile items. Everything was secure and protected before they closed the door and they did it all in less than 2 hours.”
For art with smaller frames, packing paper and bubble wrap typically do the trick – we pack these items into lighter boxes that contain other fragile items and mark them accordingly to ensure safety during transport.
Larger paintings and pictures are wrapped in a blanket, secured with stretch wrap, and placed in a movers box. To provide additional protection for precious art pieces, special cardboard protectors can be used to secure the corners of the frames.
Be sure to ask about these kinds of materials at the time of your booking – our teams will bring what is necessary to ensure the safety of your art.
Muscle Man Moving & Piano Experts knows that even the best packing processes cannot 100% guarantee the safety of every single piece of art. In order for us to confidently make this promise, it is important that your moving team is cautious during all steps of the process, from packing, to loading, transporting, unloading, and even placing your art in its new home.

When packing art and pictures, it is crucial to take caution in choosing the right packing materials. For example, newspaper is not recommended, as the ink on the paper can easily rub off onto frames or glass – even if the paper does not get wet.
Packing peanuts tend to break into small pieces that are able to get wedged into tiny spaces, such as frames, and can very easily stick to glass surfaces and ruin the piece.
