Everything between the truck and your client's reveal, handled by one crew that follows your plan.
We work from your floor plan, elevations or tape marks on the floor. Every piece goes into the room it belongs in, gets set where you drew it, and moves again as many times as it takes for you to call it right.
Artwork, mirrors and shelving are hung level and at the height you specify, with hardware chosen for the wall in front of us. Prewar plaster, brick and new drywall each take a different anchor, and heavy mirrors get a cleat, not a nail.
Beds, tables, shelving and modular pieces are assembled and tightened, hardware goes on, and lamps are placed and plugged in. The small jobs that eat the last afternoon of an install are on our list, not yours.
Boxes, foam, blankets and crating leave with us. Before the crew goes, we walk the rooms with you or your team, fix what you flag, and leave the space photo-ready for the client.
From floor plan to finished room in four steps.
Send us the floor plan, the item list and the date. We confirm crew size, timing and anything that needs special handling.
We file the Certificate of Insurance, book the freight elevator and confirm the building's work hours before the truck is loaded.
Floors and doorways are protected, pieces come in room by room, and everything is set to your plan and adjusted to your eye.
Art and mirrors go up, assembly is finished, packaging leaves with us, and we walk the space with you before we go.
Discover our comprehensive range of moving and storage solutions.
We sign for vendor deliveries, inspect and photograph every piece, and hold it until install day.
Interior Design Receiving
Full-service moves with packing, placement and setup handled at the highest level of care.
White Glove Moving
Paintings and sculpture moved and installed with custom crating and climate-controlled transport.
Fine Art Movers
Installers who work for designers: on time, on plan, and invisible once the rooms are done.
Our installers are used to working alongside designers. They listen, they move it again without a sigh, and they do not improvise on your layout.
The crew is the part of your project the client meets. Ours show up on time, in uniform, and leave the home cleaner than they found it.
Certificates of Insurance, freight elevator windows and co-op work hours are handled before install day, so the schedule holds.
A late delivery, a piece that does not work in the room, a client who wants to see one more option. We adjust the day instead of ending it.
When we also receive your orders, the same company that inspected each piece is the one that installs it. Nothing gets lost between vendors.
No photos, no social media, no discussion of the job. Our crews work in high-profile homes and behave like it.

Install day is the day your client sees the project come together, and the day most things can go wrong. A piece arrives with the wrong finish, a sofa does not clear the elevator, a gallery wall needs another hour. We plan for those moments so they do not become your problem.
For designers - A crew that follows your plan, takes direction on site and protects your reputation in front of the client
For architects - Coordination with contractors and trades on the last days of a renovation
For homeowners and collectors - Furniture and art placed and hung properly, without living around boxes
Pair installation with our receiving service and every piece is checked, stored and delivered together, so install day starts with everything in one place.
