Art Moving Services in New York

Transporting artwork is inherently risky, as transit exposes pieces to the threat of getting broken, scratched, smudged, or worse if mishandled. Since art is more susceptible to damage than most items in your home or office, you must enlist the assistance of professionals when shipping or moving it.

Packing and Crating Fine Art

We will work with you to determine the optimal packing solution for each unique piece based on its composition and size. This solution may include using one or more of the following proven methods:

  • To guarantee the strength of the box during the move, use sturdy, corrugated boxes and premium packing tape.
  • Using breathable, non-abrasive fabrics to wrap paintings reduces the chance of mold or mildew formation while protecting the painting’s surface
  • Personalized crating for large or oddly shaped antiques, ceramics, or sculptures
  • Making cardboard frames to hold artwork in place while in transport and taping glass frames to keep them from breaking

Tips for Moving and Transporting Your Fine Art

We have estimated that there are about six billion paintings, pictures, sculptures, and other excellent pieces of art on the walls and in the hallways of American homes. These art collections need extra attention when it comes time to move. If you have enormous sculptures or other sensitive pieces in your collection, you should engage with a professional moving company that specializes in handling fine art, such as Zenith Moving.

If, however, you choose to do some or all of the packing and transportation yourself, here are some tips you should consider when doing so:

  1. For extra protection, before wrapping art that is covered with glass, use painter’s tape to tape across the front of the glass with an X. If for some reason the glass should crack or shatter, this will help to keep it in place so that the broken pieces do not cut, scratch, or otherwise harm the art underneath.
  2. To reduce static cling, use a piece of heavy cardboard, foam, or mat board to cover the front of glass-framed artwork before bubble wrapping it.
  3. Use adjustable-size picture boxes and insert only one item per box. Appropriately sized boxes reduce movement and thereby, the risk of damage to your pieces.
  4. Be sure to move fine art upright. Do not lay art on its side or flat in the truck. Also, be careful not to put anything on top of it that may crush it and cause damage.
  5. Make sure your artwork is secure in the truck so that it won’t fall over in the case of sudden stops or bumps along the way.
  6. Avoid packing materials that contain acid, as these may damage artwork composed of specific materials.
  7. Wrap sculptures thoroughly in bubble wrap and seal with packing tape. If possible, take apart your sculptures for easier transport and wrap the bottom section for an additional time or two.
  8. If possible, transport sculptures in crates padded by foam, not in traditional moving boxes. Use a crate that is slightly larger than the piece to allow room for additional padding.
  9. Create a moisture barrier to protect against humidity. To do so, line your crate or box with bubble wrap or insulation paper before placing your art inside.
  10. Write “Fragile” on all boxes or crates that contain fine art.

While Zenith did come highly recommended, I thought they were overpromising. I now bite my tongue, not only did they deliver as promised but went far and beyond the expectations. Kiko makes the planning process seamless. He accommodated every request I had and put up with all my questions at all times of day, never saying no. I initially booked 1 move but ended up doing 4. His team, led by Paco and Hassan were outstanding. So efficient, funny and easy to work with. They deserve every star!

We were recommended Zenith when we were quote hunting for our move. The quote process was easy and straight forward. Our move from NYC to Connecticut was fuss-free thanks to Zenith. They do a video call to assess the items you have and provide a quote that covers everything (excl. tips) so you don’t have to worry about additional/hidden fees. Though they arrived 1 hour late, they were efficient in moving and wrapping our big items. I love that they provided us with extra boxes on the day of move as we ended up needing quite a few. They arrived 30 min earlier than us in the new apartment and waited for us with things ready to be moved. No damage to the apartment and friendly team. Thanks Kiko, Emma, Paco and team.

Where do I start? After doing extensive research we went with Zenith Moving As they came in highly recommended. Kiko communicated everything to us from the first minute and made move a lot less stressful.We have a lot of stuff of value, and also things that are not top dollar value but huge value to us. These guys took care of every single item in the house! Everything was double or triple wrapped and not a single item broke or got damaged. These guys are fast and focused so make sure you stay out of their way while they are working lol. I’m so happy I listened to Kiko and took packing service. Trust me you can never pack like these guys would do it for you.Also, our move was local in the midst of Hurricane Ian here in Fort Lauderdale, FL and I was afraid they would cancel but that didn’t happen so I’m very grateful.All in all just an amazing experience with these group of guys, would definitely highly recommend to anyone!

My experience with Zenith Moving was exceptional! They were extremely professional and responsive. Throughout the week leading up to my move, they were proactive in coordinating details. Moving can be a stressful process but they always made me feel like they had everything under control. On the day of the move, their team was efficient and did a great job with everything, and checked in throughout to make sure that I was happy with how things were going. I had a great experience couldn’t recommend them more, and definitely will work with them again in the future!

We had a 3 part move, from Brooklyn to Long Island and 20% of the boxes/furniture going into storage. Kiko came and had a very thorough meeting with me looking over and taking inventory of all the items and gave me a good competitive price. It was full pack and full move, partly into storage and rest moved into a house in Long Island. The day of the move, the packing went smoothly and way quicker and all seamless, boxes were properly tagged and all things went into storage with labels. The actual move to the house was also quick and professional. Beds taken apart and properly assembled back together and one of their crew even helped me unpack my entire kitchen which went quicker than I can ever do myself.All in all a wonderful experience and I truly value Kiko’s and his crews incredible work ethnic. So much so that I now became a repeat customer.Had another move to decorate our new house and had him move pieces from an apt from the city last week! Kiko even picked me up, drove me to the city and dropped me off back at my house, total catered service!If you are looking for a great moving company who takes cares in their work, look no further! Call Zenith!
