If you’re moving onto or off a working horse farm (like those gorgeous places in Fayette or Bourbon County), our job goes way beyond boxes. You’re dealing with high-value, specialized equipment.
- Tack Room Transit: Your tack isn’t just gear; it’s custom-fitted equipment worth thousands. We use custom padding and secure, climate-controlled transport for your English saddles, dressage equipment, and prize show harnesses. We treat your tack room contents with the same care we treat a glass chandelier—because, let’s be real, a custom saddle is just as valuable.
- Barn Logistics: We coordinate with your equine transportation team (we stick to furniture, you stick to horses!). Our job is to clear the barn office, the feed room, and the storage facilities efficiently, making sure we don’t interfere with the real stars of the show.
- The Gates and Gravel: We know that a fifty-foot moving truck can ruin a manicured gravel drive. We plan our routes, communicate with your grounds crew, and protect every historic gate and fence line that stands between the road and your front door. This is local knowledge you simply don’t get from a national chain.
Preserving History: Moving Into a Lexington Landmark
Moving a historic home (think the massive doors of a Bluegrass Trust house in Chevy Chase or the delicate woodwork in Ashland Park/The Henry Clay Estate) requires a totally different level of Experience.
- Protecting Architectural Features: We train our crews specifically on moving items through historic entries. This means using door jam protectors, covering century-old wooden floors with specialized runners, and understanding how to safely navigate grand staircases with antique furniture and heavy safes. We know that dinging a banister from 1890 isn’t an option.
- Disassembly and Reassembly of Antiques: Do you have a giant, irreplaceable china cabinet or a delicate grandfather clock? We come equipped with the right tools and skilled manpower to properly disassemble, wrap, and reassemble these heirloom pieces on the other side, guaranteeing their structural integrity is preserved.
- What about the Floors?: One of the first questions we get is, “Will you scratch my hardwood floors?” Our standard protocol includes using high-grade floor protection. For historic homes with particularly sensitive flooring, we recommend commercial-grade floor shields to handle the heavy foot traffic without damage.
