What Is White Glove Moving Service?

When people think about moving, they often picture a truck pulling up to a house, a few workers loading boxes, and a drive to the new address. White glove moving is something entirely different.

White glove moving is a premium, end-to-end service where every aspect of the relocation is handled with meticulous attention — from professional packing of every item in your home to furniture placement and removal of all packing debris at the destination. It's the moving equivalent of a five-star hotel experience.

LuxeMove is Los Angeles's premier white glove moving company. Here's exactly what the service entails and why it's worth it for the right client.

What's Included in White Glove Moving?

Professional Packing of Every Item

Standard movers often only transport — you do your own packing. White glove service means our trained team packs everything, using premium materials:

  • Custom-cut foam inserts for high-value items
  • Acid-free tissue paper for delicate surfaces
  • Custom wooden crates for artwork, sculptures, and antiques
  • Anti-static wrapping for electronics
  • Wardrobe boxes for clothing

Furniture Disassembly and Reassembly

Every piece of furniture that needs to be broken down is carefully disassembled, labeled, transported, and professionally reassembled at your destination — in the exact configuration you want.

Placement and Arrangement

Our team doesn't just deliver — we place. You tell us where each piece goes, and we arrange your new home to your specification. We won't leave until you're satisfied with the layout.

Specialty Item Handling

White glove moving is specifically designed for items that require extraordinary care:

  • Fine art and sculpture: climate-controlled transport, custom crating, installation support
  • Antique furniture: protective padding, no metal-on-wood contact, experienced handlers
  • Wine collections: temperature-controlled vehicles, vibration-dampening packaging
  • Piano and musical instruments: specialist teams with proper equipment
  • Jewelry and valuables: secure, documented chain-of-custody handling

Debris Removal

When the move is complete, we don't leave boxes and packing materials behind. All packing debris is removed and disposed of responsibly. You walk into a clean, settled home.

Dedicated Move Coordinator

Every white glove client at LuxeMove is assigned a dedicated move coordinator — a single point of contact who manages every detail from the initial survey through the last box being placed.

Who Needs White Glove Moving?

White glove moving is ideal for:

  • High-value homes in Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Malibu, Brentwood, and other premium LA neighborhoods
  • Art collectors and galleries
  • Corporate executives relocating with high-end furnishings
  • Anyone with irreplaceable items they can't afford to have damaged
  • Clients who simply don't want to deal with the logistics

The defining characteristic isn't necessarily the dollar value of your belongings — it's the level of care and peace of mind you want on moving day.

White Glove Moving in Los Angeles

Los Angeles presents unique moving challenges: traffic, narrow canyon roads, high-rise building logistics, and a year-round moving season. LuxeMove's white glove service is built specifically for the LA market.

Our team knows Bel Air gated community protocols, Beverly Hills permit requirements, and the specific challenges of moving to and from high-rise condos in downtown LA and Century City. We handle the logistics so you don't have to think about any of it.

What Does White Glove Moving Cost in LA?

White glove moving costs more than standard moving — typically 1.5x to 3x the price, depending on the volume of items, specialty requirements, and distance. For most clients who choose it, the cost is easily justified by:

  • The value of items being protected
  • The time and stress saved
  • The certainty that nothing will be damaged or lost
