Moving is often a necessary part of life—in fact, most Americans will relocate 11 times throughout their lifetime. If your household move includes many high-value items, if you want the process completed as quickly as possible, or if you simply don't have the time and energy to dedicate to the project, consider working with a white-glove moving company to help you transition into your new residence. 

​White-glove moving is a comprehensive, luxury approach that goes beyond the standard services of loading and transporting belongings. Pickens-Kane, a trusted moving team based in Chicago, has been offering top-quality moving and storage services for over 100 years, including white-glove relocations. Below, we break down the type of experience you can count on from a white-glove moving company in 2026.

Fully Managed Relocations

One of the biggest advantages of hiring white-glove movers is that you get to enjoy a hands-off moving day experience. Starting with a thorough consultation where you can voice your preferences, priorities, and preferred timeline, the service you receive will be tailored to your unique needs.

During a white glove move, an expert project coordinator will act as the single point of contact, overseeing all aspects and making sure each stays on schedule. The coordinator will also handle all communication with other parties involved in the relocation, such as building or estate managers.

Cutting-Edge Materials & Equipment

White-glove moving services provide business and homeowners with the ultimate peace of mind that their belongings and property will be safe throughout the duration of a relocation. One of the ways movers achieve this is by utilizing state-of-the-art materials, equipment, and technology to transport delicate or irreplaceable items, protect the floors and doorways of homes, and keep track of all belongings from the time they are packed. Some of these solutions could include:

  • Real-Time GPS Tracking
  • Custom Crating
  • Climate-Controlled Trucks
  • Cushioned Suspension Systems
  • Heavy-Duty Floor Runners
  • Padded Rail Covers
  • Doorway & Corner Guards

Comprehensive Home Setup

Unlike a standard residential or commercial move, in which you are left to complete the majority of unpacking, cleaning, and organizing yourself, white-glove service includes in-depth setup. Instead of leaving unpacked boxes and dismantled furniture for you to deal with, white-glove movers will take the lead on setting up your new home or office to your specifications, including options like:

  • Full Unpacking
  • Furniture Reassembly
  • Art Hanging
  • TV Installations
  • Fitness Equipment Setup

Once items have been carefully unpacked and set up, white-glove movers will handle all debris removal to ensure your new space is completely ready to go.
