Packing and moving-day prep
Packing is not glamorous and we will not pretend it is. It is plates wrapped one at a time, boxes that close flat, and labels in plain words so the right box lands in the right room. Done well, it is the difference between a moving day and a moving week.
What we can take off your hands
- The kitchen. The slowest room in every house. Plates, glasses, the good serving dishes that only come out when everyone is over. Wrapped individually, packed tight, labelled honestly.
- The fragile shelf. Photos, ornaments, the framed things. Paper-wrapped, boxed upright, never buried under books.
- The last-day sweep. Some families pack everything themselves and just want the final morning done: beds stripped, wardrobes emptied into port-a-robes, the odds and ends boxed. That works too.
Or pack it yourself, with a straight answer on how
Plenty of our customers pack their own boxes and only want the truck and the muscle. Good. If that is you, two honest tips from the crew: pack books in small boxes, not big ones, and stop filling a box when you can no longer lift it comfortably yourself. The crew can lift it, but a box that heavy usually means something fragile is at the bottom of it.
What it costs
Packing help is the same crew on the same hourly rates, most often 2 movers and 1 truck at $250 per hour the day before the move. Tell us on the form that you want packing included and we will plan it with you honestly: some homes need a morning, some need a day.
