The Most Advanced Materials and Methods

Avant-Garde Moving continually invests in the most advanced materials and methods to that your valuables are properly protected during every stage of the relocation process. As a result, we have earned the trust of some of the most discerning collectors and institutions in the city and country. To guarantee that your cherished possessions arrive at their new home in pristine condition, we like to use the following materials for art and antique moving:

  • Glassine Paper

    This is a type of acid-free paper that's often used to wrap collectibles and other delicate items. It will help to protect the surface of your antique from scratches and other damage.

  • Corner Protectors

    These are pieces of cardboard or foam that are placed on the corners of furniture and other items to cushion them and prevent damage. They're essential for protecting antiques and other fragile items during a move.

  • Picture Boxes or Telescoping Boxes (Cardboard)

    These are sturdy cardboard boxes that are specifically designed for moving pictures and paintings. They're a great way to keep your artwork safe during a move.

  • Padded Moving Blankets

    These can be used to protect large pieces of furniture from scratches or bumps.

  • Furniture Dollies

    These can be used to move heavy pieces of furniture without damaging the floor.

  • Custom-Made Wooden Crates

    For irreplaceable and highly fragile antiques, we design wooden crates tailored to each item's size and shape. These crates offer superior protection by securing items tightly, shielding them from external impacts, and ensuring they remain stable during transit.

COI (Certificate of Insurance)

If you’re moving in or out of the apartment building, your building may require your moving company to submit a Certificate of Insurance (COI) before the movers can even step inside it. 


COI legacy protects buildings in case of any damages and building management often requires documentation and proof of insurance to ensure moving company is properly covered.


COI is included in our rates and all you have to do is send us a sample/coi requirements from the building management.
