Why Avant-Garde
There's something in the way we move. Avant-Garde is the moving company NYC calls when the job has to go right: trained in-house crews, flat all-inclusive pricing, buildings and COIs handled, and specialty care for fine art, antiques and pianos.

What Makes Us Different
Anyone can rent a truck. These are the things our clients tell us actually made the difference.
In-House Crews, Not Day Labor
The team that quotes your move is the team that shows up. Our movers, packers and art handlers are trained employees who work together every day, so there is no finger-pointing and no stranger crews learning on your furniture.
Flat, All-Inclusive Rates
One honest number before we start. Fuel, tolls, mileage, basic coverage and taxes are included, and time is not a pricing factor on our moves. The quote you approve is the bill you pay.
COIs and Building Rules, Handled
Certificates of insurance, freight elevator reservations, co-op board requirements: we deal with NYC building management every single day, and COIs are included in our rates. Your movers do not get turned away in the lobby.
Real Fine Art and Specialty Expertise
Custom wooden crates built in-house, three-layer art paper, shadow boxing, condition documentation, climate-aware transport. We move paintings, pianos, antiques and sculpture for collectors, galleries and designers across NYC.
White-Glove as a Standard, Not an Upsell
Furniture wrapped and protected, floors and doorways covered, disassembly and reassembly included, placement and setup at delivery. Careful is simply how our crews work.
Storage That Belongs to Us
Climate-controlled storage with wrapped, labeled inventory and scheduled access, run by the same company that moves you. No hand-offs to a third-party warehouse you have never heard of.
