San Marcos is home to some of the best antique dealers in Central Texas — the antique row along Guadalupe Street, the Wimberley Antique Market, and independent dealers throughout Hays County attract buyers and collectors from across Texas. When those pieces need to move — locally, across the state, or cross-country — custom crating is the only safe option. Blanket wrap is not adequate for a Victorian dresser or a set of hand-painted china going 1,500 miles.
We work with San Marcos antique dealers, estate sale companies, and individual buyers who need reliable crating and shipping for pieces that cannot be replaced. Every crate is built in-house at our Austin workshop to the piece's exact dimensions.
Antique Furniture Crating
Custom crates for Victorian, Mid-Century, and handcrafted antique furniture from San Marcos dealers and estate sales.
Texas State University Area
Faculty relocations, research equipment, laboratory instruments, and institutional art collections for the TXST community.
Hill Country & Wimberley
High-value homes in the Wimberley and Canyon Lake corridor — custom furniture, sculpture, and fine art shipping for Hill Country estates.
