Packing options

Full packing

We pack every room, from the kitchen and closets to the garage and keepsakes, and label each box by room. This pairs with our full-service moves.

Partial packing

You pack the easy rooms and we take the time-consuming ones, usually the kitchen, china cabinet, office and garage.

Fragile & specialty packing

Fine china, glassware, art, mirrors, lamps, electronics and décor, wrapped and boxed to travel safely.

Unpacking

We unpack and set up your rooms in the new home, so you’re living there, not living out of boxes.

What we bring to protect your things

  • Quality boxes and packing paper for the rooms we pack
  • Wardrobe boxes so hanging clothes go straight from closet to closet
  • Blankets and stretch wrap for furniture
  • Plastic wrap for every mattress and box spring, per California’s bed bug law
  • TV boxes and custom crating for artwork, on request

Packing is part of the time on a local move, so it’s included in the hours, not a surprise add-on. See how pricing works.

Packing yourself? Pack like a pro

  • Use new, uniform boxes. We stack boxes like building blocks; one weak box can crush a whole tier.
  • Tape the bottoms well. For heavy boxes, tape across the seams in a “+”.
  • Keep weight reasonable. Aim for under about 50 lbs per box, and pack books in small boxes.
  • Heavy on the bottom, fragile on top, with padding in every gap so nothing shifts.
  • Label each box with its room and whether it’s fragile. Colored dots by room make delivery fast.
  • Pack TVs in their original box or a TV box, or ask us to.

Frequently asked questions

Do you provide boxes and packing materials?

Yes. When we pack for you, we bring the boxes and materials the job needs. If you’re packing yourself, ask us about supplies when you call.

Can you pack just the kitchen or just fragile items?

Yes. Partial packing is common. Many customers have us pack the kitchen, china, art and lamps and handle the rest themselves.

What won’t you pack or transport?

Hazardous materials such as paint, fuel, oil, solvents, pool chemicals and propane can’t go on our trucks. Drain gas from lawn equipment before move day. See what movers can’t take.

Do you unpack too?

Yes. We can unpack and set up your kitchen and other rooms in your new home, and take away the empty materials.
