White-Glove Moving in Dallas
Senior crews, gloved handling, and a written plan for every room — for Dallas homes, collections, and businesses that can’t afford a careless move. For more than 45 years.
The Curtis Approach
Senior Crews
Led by crew chiefs with decades at Curtis — never day labor.
Room-by-Room Plan
Every piece mapped from the old room to the new one before the truck arrives.
Custom Crating
Crates engineered to the piece for art, mirrors, chandeliers, and antiques.
Padded, Gloved Handling
Floors, doorways, and banisters protected; nothing slides or drags.
Climate-Controlled Storage
Barcoded, catalogued, and held in our Dallas warehouse when timing slips.
Placement & Walkthrough
Unpacked, placed, hung, and checked with you before we leave.
What White-Glove Moving Actually Means
White-glove moving is a full-service move built around the condition of what you own, not just the speed of the truck. At Curtis Specialized Moving & Storage, that means senior crews who wear gloves, pad and wrap every surface, build custom crates for the pieces that need them, and place each item exactly where it belongs in the new home — then walk the rooms with you before calling the job done.
Most moving companies sell trucks and hours. Curtis sells judgment. Our senior management team has a combined 152 years at Curtis, and the people who plan your move know the staircases, elevators, and gates of Highland Park, Preston Hollow, and the Park Cities. It’s the same standard we bring to luxury residential relocation and fine art moving and installation.
Moves other crews turn down. Curtis crews have ridden a sofa on top of an elevator car in a high-rise condo, brought furniture in through an upstairs window by forklift, received furniture on a high-rise terrace from a crane, and installed a conference table lowered by helicopter onto an office rooftop. When a piece is difficult, we engineer the move before anyone lifts.
Storage when the timing doesn’t line up. Closings slip and renovations run long. Curtis operates nearly 100,000 square feet of secured, climate-controlled storage at our Dallas warehouse on W. Mockingbird Lane. Every item is inspected, photographed, barcoded, and catalogued, so we can pull a single side table or deliver the whole house when you’re ready.
Transparent pricing. Curtis publishes its rates: delivery and installation is $160 an hour for two installers and a truck, and custom packing is $80 an hour plus supplies. Every move still gets a written quote before work begins — see our price list.
How It Works — The White-Glove Way
- Step 1 — Walkthrough and written plan: inventory, special items, access, and timing.
- Step 2 — Protection: floors, doorways, and banisters padded; fragile pieces wrapped or custom-crated.
- Step 3 — Gloved, padded transport, strapped and secured — or climate-controlled storage if needed.
- Step 4 — Placement: furniture set, art hung, beds assembled, cartons unpacked on request.
- Step 5 — Final walkthrough with you, and every scrap of packing removed.
“Prompt, careful, professionals. Surprisingly reasonable. They take the pain out of moving. Most importantly, they treat your things with loving care.”
