White-Glove Moving in Santa Fe: What It Is and Why It Matters for Luxury Homes

When it comes to relocating a high-end home in Santa Fe, not all moving services are created equal. For those with fine art collections, custom furniture, antiques, and delicate materials, a standard moving experience simply won’t cut it. That’s where white-glove moving services come in—a premium level of care that’s become a hallmark of Mike’s Moving Company.

What Is White-Glove Moving?

White-glove moving goes far beyond simply transporting boxes from point A to point B. It refers to a specialized, high-attention moving process designed to protect and handle your most valuable items with meticulous care. It includes:

  • Custom crating and packing for fragile or one-of-a-kind items
  • Climate-controlled transportation for sensitive materials
  • Protective floor coverings and wall padding during move-in/out
  • Specialty equipment for heavy or awkward luxury items (think marble sculptures or grand pianos)
  • Unpacking, placement, and debris removal—so your new home is move-in ready
