What to Expect From a True White Glove Provider (And What You Should Never Settle For)

Professional white glove services brought to you from a trusted resource

If you’re managing a luxury interior project, then you already know: not all “white glove providers” live up to the name. Some promise premium. Few deliver it.

At Caudelle Interior Installations, we’ve worked with hundreds of top designers, builders, and procurement firms who came to us after a disappointing install experience. The problem? The provider didn’t actually know what white glove meant.

So let’s set the record straight.

What White Glove Should Mean

A true white glove provider goes far beyond delivery. You should expect:

Pre-Install Coordination

White glove begins before the truck rolls out. You should have accurate reports, schedule coordination, and confirmation before the install day even starts.

Trained Crews in Uniform

If your provider shows up late, dressed like movers, you're NOT getting white glove. You're getting standard freight delivery. Caudelle crews are on time, uniformed, and trained in interior design etiquette

No Damage. No Drama

Install day should never involve shouting, scrambling, or calling the warehouse to find a missing nightstand. Our projects are run with military-level precision and a calming presence.

Flawless Presentation

A true white glove provider leaves the site photo ready. That includes debris removal, touch ups, and perfect placement.

Red Flags That Signal a "Fake" White Glove Provider

Let's be blunt, some companies slap "white glove" on their services and hope you don't notice.

If you've seen any of these, you've been short changed.

• Paper based receiving logs with no condition notes.

• Warehouse workers repurposed as "installers"

• Install teams who can't identify a sconce from a club chair

• No art handling or poor installation performance

• ASKING YOU to supply materials or tools

You deserve better. Your clients do too!
