Moving Safely During Covid19 While Supporting Our Community
Without a doubt, these are strange times in our world today. Because, moving during Covid-19 is completely uncharted waters. However, as Treasure Coast movers, our White Glove Moving and Storage team feels confident things are adapting well. For example, since the pandemic our professional movers have been practicing all CDC protocols. This includes, portable hand washing kits, temperature checks and deep sanitation of all trucks and our warehouse. Additionally, pre-screening questions have been asked to all our customers and staff daily. More importantly, gloves and masks have been given to all our employees as an additional layer of protection. As a result, we feel safe to be able to perform moving safely throughout Florida and interstate.
As an essential service, our staff has been able to work throughout this crisis. After the first five weeks, the high demand for accelerated real estate closings subsided. Hence, we took those select slower days to do additional training and enhance our facility. Using some of our most handy men, we were able to paint the entire exterior of our two warehouses totaling approximately seventy thousand square feet in just two weeks. What a wonderful change it is!
Next, we were able to team up with the Sunrise Rotary and Vero Beach Flash to participate and be the host venue for the Front Line Heroes parade. As a respected Sebastian moving company, we participated in their parade at the Sebastian River Medical Center first. Impressively, over 23 businesses and organizations participated. Followed by, staging and photos at our Vero Beach moving and storage facility. From this location, twenty plus organizations came with their signs and wavers. Once lined up, the entire parade traveled east then slightly south to the Cleveland Clinci Indian River Hospital. To be a part of it all, was so gratifying. Hundreds of nurses, doctors, volunteers and patients lined up and embraced the support. Of course, had there had been a horn honking award, our twenty-six foot moving truck would have won. Curious? Please, view the parade exit here.
Additionally, we are proud to have been a part of Truckload of Love. Aligned with the Berkshire Hathaway real estate office in Vero Beach, collectively an entire fourteen foot truck was filled. Inside, were paper products for the Senior Resource Association and food for the Indian River Food Pantry. Taking place over Mother’s Day weekend, many people dropped off items in a non-contact format. To be clear, this drive was safe and very rewarding. Hence, many people throughout the area will benefit directly from these efforts.
In conclusion, our White Glove Moving and Storage team enjoys the work we do. In all honestly, the new sanitation procedures now in place are a betterment to our movers. Have we had to make sacrifices? Yes. However, we believe that keeping America moving together is vital. In the same vein, by providing discounts and flexibility for moving dates, we are doing our part. Let’s face it, moving is stressful; especially during Covid-19. So, we believe it is our duty to be the best we can be to make moving a pleasure. As always, we wish to support our community and staff by giving how and when we can. In summary, if there is a move coming up, we are here to help you move safely. In the event you have questions, please check out our website or call us at 866-GLOVE10.
White Glove Moving During Covid-19
During these unprecedented times, White Glove Moving & Storage is proud to still offer top-notch moving during Covid-19. Additionally, we provide packing, storage, delivery and installation services throughout Florida. Furthermore, for those moving long distance we assist people and businesses relocating into or out of the Treasure Coast area.
That is to say, there are several steps we are taking to help ensure the safety of our employees, customers and their goods. Firstly, we have employee screenings prior to the start of each workday. For instance, daily checking temperatures and asking questions about how staff are feeling and what exposure they may have had. Certainly, this helps alleviate concerns customers have moving during Covid-19.
Secondly, we are asking pre-screening questions provided by the CDC to all our customers. When? Both before a survey and their actual move day. As a result, that helps add a level of comfort to the staff as they leave our facility each morning.
Thirdly, we made our sanitation kits more robust for each truck. Presently, these include gloves, masks, hand sanitizer along with disinfectant spray and wipes. As a result, our movers wear these items while performing the moves when applicable. Additionally, the sprays and wipes are used on hard surfaces throughout the day. Lastly, the trucks are cleaned thoroughly each evening.
As an extra step, we were able to create a portable hand washing station for each Treasure Coast moving truck. To clarify, these kits include: 3-gallon water filled hard plastic jugs with spigots, sanitizing liquid soap and c-fold towels. Most importantly, hand washing helps stop the spread for those moving during Covid-19.
To summarize, at White Glove Moving & Storage we are an essential service. In the world at large, real estate transactions are still happening. Throughout our nation, people are moving locally and into new states. Now more than ever, the need for a professional mover has risen. For example, folks moving from Michigan to the Treasure Coast of Florida may have thought they’d pack themselves. With the current travel ban, as Treasure Coast movers, we now need to perform their full pack prior to moving day. Another example, is that firm hours of operation are in place for several homeowners’ associations. Hence, what we can do in a matter of hours would take regular people double the time. Moreover, renting a truck and trying to find labor for moving during covid-19 is difficult. Of course, using used materials is unnecessary exposure as well.
In conclusion, with great rates in place and 50 full-time employees along with 15 trucks; we can make it happen. To adapt, we are offering both in-home and virtual surveys . Plus, we love what we do and we would be honored to assist you. Best wishes to you and yours now and always.
As an Essential Business We are Still Open to Assist
In light of these changing times, at White Glove Moving, we are considered to be an essential business. Thereby, we are still able to help you or your clients in the moving and storage process at this time. Additionally, our receiving warehouse is also still open. Therefore, we are able to receive in trucked goods for commercial and residential projects. Currently, we are adhering to our standard hours of operation.
Furthermore, it is important to stress that in the current restrictions put forth by Governor DeSantis, our services are deemed essential. Henceforth, our team is still able to assist with your moving needs throughout the thirty day shut down. As a result, we will be providing all our normal services; however, our office will be closed to the public.
With decades of experience under our belt, we are proud to be leaders in the industry when it comes to sanitation, cleanliness and professionalism. However, in light of the present circumstances effecting our country, we are taking additional measures. Since being sent the recommended CDC precautions, our teams have been implementing every protocol. Presently, our process includes taking temperatures and having employees who feel unwell simply stay home. In addition, sanitation baskets have been created for each truck. Each contain disinfectant wipes, sprays, gloves, masks and portable hand washing stations. Furthermore, we have pre-screening questions in place for all our clients before the move or survey. All these efforts are in effect to help safe guard all our customers, employees and their belongings.
Therefore, it is our greatest wish that you know in these chaotic times our team is here to take care of making your move easy and cost effective. As a nation, we will prevail together. Most importantly, our team, at White Glove Moving, wishes you health and prosperity in these troubling times.

Also, change of dates when a closing of a home does not go according to plan or construction is not yet ready.
Since 2002, we have steadily been gaining loyal customers and we welcome the opportunity to assist in your upcoming move. Additionally, our team is proud to be an A+ rated mover for residential and commercial entities throughout the region via the BBB. In part, because of our ethics to customers, employees and our community. Locally, a number of events have been cancelled.

It is important that we all monitor the updates and regulations put forth by the center for disease control while also adhering to their suggestions. Fortunately, our team is able to provide top notch service in these sensitive times. Additionally, we will respectfully consider all reasonable requests made of our customers as a result. As proud Americans, we are confident this crisis will pass. May our spirits stay high and a sense of unity persist.To setup for your survey or confirm your upcoming move please call 772-778-4750.

In 2018, almost 5,000 attendees reveled in the magic of the holiday season and their support helped us provide $50,000 in scholarships to children in need.
Join the festivities and make an unforgettable impact on young lives! White Glove Moving, Storage & Delivery is proud to be the exclusive delivery agent for this event. Each year we deliver these remarkably decorated trees in full splendor to amazing homes in the area. Ensuring these masterpieces are placed just right to add instant holiday cheer.
Sleep Number Bed Movers
The importance of a quality night’s sleep is something that has become a very hot talking point in America. It seems like there are mattress store popping up everywhere! Just like not all movers are created equal, nor are beds. That is why our White Glove Moving & Storage team set out to earn additional training to become Sleep Number bed movers. Because in our years of experience, this is the one style of bed that owners will not trust to just anyone to move.
Perhaps it is because of such great features as IndividualFit™ allowing Sleep Number® bed adjusts to you, relieving pressure points. For several years in a row this specialty bed has been voted #1 IN VALUE, #1 IN COMFORT, #1 IN SUPPORT & #1 IN FEATURES for J.D. Power. Additional features of these great beds include letting you choose your ideal firmness, comfort, and support on each side — your Sleep Number® setting in the Sleep Number 360®smart bed. Better still, throughout the night, the bed senses your every move and automatically adjusts to keep you both effortlessly comfortable. Followed by the next morning evaluating your sleep by checking your SleepIQ® score — with personalized insights for your best sleep. The bed even provides pre-warming so you can fall asleep faster. Does your partner snore? Sleep Number 360® smart bed can gently raise your partner’s head to help relieve mild snoring.
In conclusion, with an investment as important as the perfect bed for you and your partner. It does not make sense to trust that responsibility of ensuring its safe transport and warranty with a less than qualified moving company. As you can see, this bed is more than just a mattress and a box spring. It requires knowledge of the bed and its functions to help make breakdown and reassembly possible. After additional training in the Jensen Beach store, White Glove Moving & Storage is now fully accredited to make moving your Sleep Number bed along with all your other household items easy and cost effective. Additionally, when it comes to local deliveries, if the bed is all you need moved, we can do that too. At White Glove, we are proud to provide top notch quality and ongoing training, becoming Sleep Number Bed movers is just one way we help set ourselves apart from the rest.
Hurricane Preparedness, White Glove Moving Can Help!
Starting in June, Hurricane Season has begun lasting through October each year. In the beautiful state of Florida, hurricane preparedness is important in the event of a hurricane. Thanks to the Crime Prevention Unit, our White Glove Moving team is happy to provide some useful tips to consider; including stocking up on canned goods during routine grocery shopping.
In the event of a big storm, you will need a minimum of one gallon per day for drinking and cooking. Have at least a seven day supply on hand. This same rule can apply to any medicines or baby formula. As the storm comes, be sure to turn your refrigerator and freezer to their coldest settings. Another great hurricane preparedness tip is to scrub and sterilize bathtubs and all available jugs, containers so they too can be filled with water.
Perhaps one of the biggest threats in a storm are outside objects. If not tied down or picked up and stored, those items can transform into missiles of destruction. From patio furniture to small motors and toys, White Glove Moving & Storage is happy to help as the storm nears. Our ability to pick up and store items for as little or as long as needed is an asset to home owners who are seasonal and wish to not return before the hurricane makes landfall. Hurricane preparedness also includes reinforcing the five critical areas: roof, straps, shutters, doors and garage doors.
Another suggestion in hurricane preparedness is to have extra cash on hand and store all valuable papers, photographs and momentos in waterproof bags or containers. Before the storm hits and power goes out, be sure to fill up vehicles with gas and stock up on batteries for flashlights as well as bug spray.
Remember, do not touch fallen or low hanging wires. Pay attention to instructions from official sources and notify them right away of any “live” lines or broken gas/water mains. After power is restored, check food for spoilage.
Know of someone moving or that will be away for the summer? Please share White Glove Moving, Storage & Delivery’s contact information with them so we can secure their outdoor area and bring it into the safety our facility. 772-778-4750
