Some things you
can't buy back
You've seen it happen to someone. A crew wraps a 1920s china cabinet in one thin blanket, tips it onto a dolly, and the glass doors swing open on the stairs. Or a piano gets rolled across the driveway on its own casters and arrives with a cracked leg and a soundboard that never sounds right again. A regular move gone wrong costs money. An antique move gone wrong costs a piece of your family's history.
GeoStars treats antiques as a different job, not a heavier version of the same one. Before we touch anything, we photograph each piece and note its condition. Marble tops come off and travel flat. Glass doors get taped, padded, and boarded. Anything fragile enough to keep you up at night — a gilded mirror, a marble bust, a stretched canvas — gets a custom wood crate measured and built around that exact piece.
And because old wood, veneer, and oil paint hate sudden temperature swings, we plan the loading order and transit time so your pieces never sit in a baking truck in a DC July or a freezing one in January. Climate-aware handling isn't a buzzword to us. It's why the finish on your secretary desk looks the same in the new house as it did in the old one.
