Some moves call for more than a truck and a few boxes. When you are relocating antiques, fine art, a grand piano, a chandelier, or a houseful of high-end furniture, you want a crew that treats every piece like it is irreplaceable. That is white glove moving, and it is what we have done for Orlando families for close to two decades.
Orlando Express Movers offers full-service white glove moving across Orlando and Central Florida, from the lakefront estates of Windermere and Bay Hill to the historic homes of Winter Park and the gated communities of Lake Mary. Licensed, insured, and background-checked, our white glove crews handle the packing, the protection, the heavy lifting, and the careful placement, so you do not lift a finger.
What Does White Glove Moving Actually Mean?
“White glove” gets used loosely in this industry, so here is exactly what it means when you hire us.
A standard move gets your boxes and furniture from one address to another safely. A white glove move means we do the work you would otherwise be doing yourself. We pack every room, build protection around the pieces that need it, carry and place everything where it belongs, reassemble what came apart, and take the packing debris away when we leave. The goal is that you can sit down in a finished room the same day, instead of living out of boxes for three weeks.
It also means a different standard of handling. High-value and fragile pieces are not simply blanket wrapped and hoped for. They are measured, padded, crated where it is warranted, and loaded in a planned order so nothing is stacked on anything it should not be. The crew that packs your home is the crew that unpacks it, so nobody is guessing where a piece belongs.
What Our White Glove Moving Service Includes
White glove service means we handle every detail of your move with premium care from start to finish:
- Full packing and unpacking. We pack and unpack every room with high-quality materials, so your new home is ready to live in.
- Custom crating and padding. Fragile and high-value items get custom crates, blanket-wrap, and corner protection built around the piece.
- Antiques, art, and specialty items. Heirlooms, paintings, sculptures, mirrors, and chandeliers are handled by crews trained for delicate, irreplaceable pieces.
- Piano and large-item moving. Upright, baby grand, and grand pianos, plus oversized furniture, safes, and exercise equipment, moved with the right gear and technique.
- Furniture disassembly and reassembly. We take apart and rebuild beds, tables, and large furniture, then place each piece exactly where you want it.
- Placement, setup, and debris removal. We position your furniture, set up the essentials, and haul away the packing materials when we are done.
White Glove Moving vs a Standard Move
Both get your belongings there safely. The difference is how much of the work stays with you, and how much protection goes around the pieces that matter.
- A standard move. You pack the boxes and label them. We load, transport, and unload, then set the furniture in the right rooms. It is the right call for most household moves and it is the more affordable option.
- A white glove move. We pack, we crate what needs crating, we protect the home itself, we place and reassemble everything, and we take the debris with us. It is the right call when the contents are valuable, fragile, or simply when your time is worth more than the difference.

How a White Glove Move Works
- Walkthrough and plan. We look at the home, the contents, and the access at both ends, then agree what gets crated, what gets packed, and in what order.
- Materials and crating. We bring the right materials rather than whatever is on the truck, and build custom crates for pieces that need them.
- Packing day. Usually the day before the move for a full home. Rooms are packed and labeled by destination room, not just by contents.
- Protection goes in first. Floor runners, door jamb padding, corner guards and rail protection go up before a single item moves.
- Move day. Loaded in planned order so weight and fragility are respected, then transported and unloaded the same way.
- Placement and setup. Furniture is reassembled and placed where you want it, not left in the middle of the room. We will move a piece twice if the first spot is not right.
- Unpacking and debris removal. We unpack to the level you asked for and take the boxes, paper and wrap away with us.

White Glove Moving Questions
What does a white glove move cost?
More than a standard move, because it includes the packing labor, the materials, the crating and the unpacking. The number depends on the size of the home, how much gets packed, how many pieces need custom crating, and the access at both ends. We walk the job and give you a firm price before anything starts.
Is white glove moving worth it?
It is worth it when the contents are hard to replace, when the packing would take you a week of evenings, or when a damaged piece would cost more than the service. For a straightforward apartment move it is usually more than you need, and we will tell you that.
Do you supply the packing materials?
Yes. Boxes, paper, wrap, padding and custom crates are all part of the service, and we take the leftovers away at the end.
Can you handle art, antiques and chandeliers?
Yes. Paintings, mirrors, sculpture, lighting and antique furniture are the pieces this service exists for. Tell us what you have when you call so we bring the right materials and crew size.
Do you move high-value items out of state?
Yes, white glove handling carries over to our long distance moves as well.
How far ahead should I book?
Sooner is better for a full white glove move, because packing usually needs its own day. Peak season and end of month fill first.
