The benefits of hiring an art and antiques moving company

There are many benefits of hiring a moving company to move art and antiques. In this section, we will take a closer look at these benefits and why they are important for moving your valuables safely.

 

A first advantage is that Oomen Movers specialize in transporting and handling fragile objects, such as works of art and antique furniture. They have the right materials, knowledge and experience to move these delicate items without causing damage. This may include special packing materials, such as bubble wrap or crates custom-made for your unique pieces.

 

Another great advantage is that Oomen Movers offer insurance as part of their service package. This means that you are covered should something unexpectedly go wrong during the transportation or handling of your art and antiques. So it gives you extra peace of mind and security during the move.

 

In addition, Oomen Movers has well-trained staff with expertise in handling fragile items. They know exactly how to handle different types of artwork, such as paintings or sculptures, as well as delicate materials such as glassware or porcelain. This significantly reduces the chance of damage.

 

Another important advantage is that Oomen Movers has special vehicles and equipment to safely transport art and antiques. These might include vehicles with air suspension, which minimizes shock and vibration during transport, or cranes and elevators to move large pieces of furniture. This further reduces the risk of damage.

 

Finally, hiring a moving company also offers time savings and convenience. The process of packing, loading, transporting and unpacking your valuable possessions is completely taken out of your hands by professionals, allowing you to focus on other aspects of the move.

 

Communicate with the moving company about special requirements for the artwork

Moving art and antiques can be an exciting, but also stressful, experience. At Oomen Movers, we understand the importance of moving your valuable pieces safely and undamaged to their new destination. We encourage close communication so that we can understand and respond to any special requirements for your artwork.

 

Begin with careful selection of the artwork you wish to move, taking into account the protection and handling required. Then discuss your selection and special requirements with our team, including dimensions, weight and fragility. We recommend taking photos of your artworks before packing so we can get a better understanding of what is needed for their protection during transport.

 

Together with our team, we create a detailed plan for safely moving your artwork, including dealing with any challenges such as narrow hallways or stairs. We also offer special packaging materials, such as bubble wrap and foam rubber, to provide additional protection during transport.

 

Throughout the moving process, we stay in close contact with you so that you are kept informed of the status of your artworks and can quickly intervene in case of any problems. Choose a safe and successful move of your art and antiques with Oomen Movers.
