Liffey Full Service Moving & Storage

Specialty Moving

Specialty moving services planned around the item and the building.

Furniture, pianos, fine art, smaller hourly jobs, and urgent moves each need a different plan. Start with the service that best matches what is moving, then confirm access, timing, protection, and placement with Liffey.

Since 1975

Specialty moves begin with specific details.

The item is only one part of the plan. Measurements, stairs, elevator reservations, loading access, building rules, destination placement, and the rest of the shipment can change how a specialty move should be prepared.

Sharing those details during the estimate helps Liffey assess the scope, recommend appropriate protection, and coordinate the right moving service without relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.

  • Item dimensions and condition
  • Pickup and delivery access
  • Building COIs and elevator windows
  • Packing, crating, storage, and placement needs

Different services for different moving needs.

Furniture moves focus on protection, disassembly decisions, access, and placement. Piano moves require careful review of the instrument, route, stairs, and turns. Fine-art moves may involve assessment, wrapping, packing, or individual crating depending on the piece.

Hourly moving can suit a smaller, clearly defined local job, while last-minute moving starts with immediate confirmation of inventory, access, timing, and actual availability.

Coordinate specialty items with the full move.

A specialty item does not have to be planned separately from a household, office, long-distance, or storage move. Identifying it early allows the estimate and schedule to account for the item alongside the wider shipment.

If pickup and delivery dates do not align, ask how storage inventory, pickup, and later delivery can be coordinated as part of the move plan.

How it works

A specialty plan built from the actual move.

  1. 1

    Describe the item and route

    Provide the inventory, photos or dimensions when useful, addresses, access details, building requirements, and requested timing.

  2. 2

    Review protection and scope

    Discuss the handling, packing, crating, disassembly, storage, or placement needs that apply to this particular move.

  3. 3

    Confirm the moving plan

    Finalize timing and access so the crew can arrive prepared for the item, the buildings, and the agreed destination.

Frequently asked questions

Useful details before you move.

What information helps Liffey plan a specialty move?

Share the item or inventory, both addresses, stairs and elevator details, building rules, timing, and any known protection or placement concerns. Photos or a survey may help the team understand access and handling needs before preparing the plan.

Can specialty services be included with a larger household move?

Yes. Tell Liffey about pianos, artwork, furniture, or other special items during the estimate so their handling can be coordinated with the rest of the move.

Does every specialty item need custom crating?

No. Protection should match the item and route. Liffey can review the item and discuss wrapping, packing, or crating options where appropriate rather than treating every move the same way.

Can storage be coordinated with a specialty move?

Storage needs can be discussed during planning. Confirm the items, timing, pickup, inventory, and eventual delivery so storage can be coordinated with the moving service.
