Antique and art handling
Antique furniture, oil paintings, framed mirrors, and sculpture receive individual custom wrapping, protective crating when needed, and careful loading and unloading technique.
Belmont's established homes have the kind of contents that require a true white glove standard.
Belmont, MA is an affluent suburb tucked between Cambridge and Lexington with one of the most distinctive housing stocks in Middlesex County. Victorian and colonial homes built between 1890 and 1940 dominate many neighborhoods, and they're packed with antiques, original built-ins, heirloom furniture, and fine art collected over generations.
Moving these homes is not a job for a standard crew. It requires advance planning, the right materials, and movers who understand that a scratch on a century-old bannister or a chip in an irreplaceable armoire is not acceptable. Dakota's white glove team brings that standard to every Belmont move.
