Is White Glove Required for a Hinsdale Move?

Last updated: October 2026

Never required. But for historic homes with fine contents, it's the tier most Hinsdale clients choose once they see what it includes.

Every Hinsdale move gets the same careful handling, the same floor protection, and the same crew attention. White glove isn't about doing the move more carefully. It's about doing more of the move for you.

What a standard move includes

With a standard move, you have everything packed and ready, and we provide the labor. The crew protects your floors, door frames, and stairs. Furniture gets padded with moving blankets for free. The crew takes apart and reassembles furniture, then loads, moves, and unloads everything.

You pack before the move and unpack after it. Simple.

What white glove adds

With white glove, you rest while we work.

We pack. Every room, every closet, every cabinet.

We load. Everything goes on the truck with care.

We unload. Everything comes into the new home.

We unpack. Boxes come open and things come out.

We arrange. Furniture goes where it belongs, and your things go where you want them.

You let us in, and when we leave, you can start living in your new place.

Why Hinsdale clients choose it

Historic homes. Many Hinsdale homes are in or near the Robbins Park Historic District, and older homes are where extra care matters most. Read is my Hinsdale home in a historic district.

Fine contents. Art, antiques, china, and heirlooms that need careful packing.

Busy lives. Not everyone has the time to pack and unpack a large home.

Downsizing. Moving a parent from a family home into a smaller one is easier when the new place is fully set up on day one.

The first night

One of the biggest differences shows up on the first night in the new home. With a standard move, you're often searching through boxes for sheets, towels, and a coffee mug. With white glove, the bed is set up in the bedroom and the kitchen is unpacked for the morning, because everything is already unpacked and put away. For a lot of families, that first night is the moment white glove feels worth it.

When a standard move fits

If you like packing your own things, or you're on a tighter budget, a standard move works well. You can also add packing on its own. Read how much does full packing cost.

How it's priced

White glove is hourly, like our other moves, with a 2-hour minimum. It takes more hours than a standard move because we're doing more of the work. Packing materials are charged separately. Every move is different, so we estimate based on your home. Read how far in advance to book a white glove move.

Antiques and art

Whatever tier you choose, high-value pieces can get custom crates, which we build ourselves. Read can you move antiques down an 1890s staircase.
