Custom crating is the gold standard for protecting high-value items during a move. Unlike cardboard boxes and bubble wrap, wooden crates provide a rigid, protective frame built around your specific item. We use professional-grade materials and techniques to create custom crates for artwork, sculptures, antiques, pianos, and other valuable or fragile possessions that require extra protection.
What is Crating Service?
Crating is building custom wooden crates to protect valuable, fragile, or oversized items during a move. It's more protective than standard packing because:
- Custom-built wooden frames: Each crate is built specifically for your item's dimensions and shape
- High-value item protection: Ideal for artwork, antiques, pianos, sculptures, chandeliers, and electronics
- Structural protection: Rigid wooden framework that goes beyond standard padding and boxes
- Long-distance & shipping ready: Often required for interstate moves, international shipping, or storage
Items We Commonly Crate
- Fine Art & Sculptures: Paintings, framed artwork, bronze sculptures, glass art, and collectible pieces
