Is DIY Fine Art Moving Worth the Risk?

Considering a DIY approach to fine art moving may seem cost-effective, but there are important factors to keep in mind. Fine art pieces require meticulous handling to avoid damage, and without professional packing materials, you risk scratches, breaks, or exposure to environmental factors. Specialized movers understand how to prepare and transport fragile items, including using museum-grade materials and ensuring secure environments. Even if you’re careful, the chance of mishaps is higher without the right expertise and equipment. Plus, professionals carry insurance coverage, providing peace of mind if anything goes wrong. Balancing the potential repair or replacement costs against professional fees can often reveal that hiring experts such as Collegian Movers is the safer, more economical option. For those with cherished art pieces, the added security of hiring professionals can outweigh the risks of a DIY move!

Packing Supplies

During transport, we spare no expense to safeguard your items. Our expert movers use top-grade packing supplies, including moving blankets, shrink wrap, and packing tape, to protect against potential damage. Each item is meticulously wrapped, ensuring it is well-insulated and shielded from any possible impact. Moreover, we use protective wraps such as foam wrap for glass and wood items, bubble wrap, moving blankets, and sturdy wooden crates to provide an added layer of security.
