Packing and unpacking services
The part of moving that takes the longest. Hand us the whole house, just the kitchen, or only the things you would hate to see broken.
Packing is billed at the same hourly crew rate as the move, plus the materials we use. You choose how much: the whole home, a single room, or only fragile items like glassware, art and lamps.
At the new place we can unpack and take the boxes and paper away, or just unload and let you unpack at your own pace.
Included
- Dish packs and cell kits for glassware
- Picture and mirror boxes
- Labeled boxes by room
- Unpacking and removal of packing paper and boxes on request
Good to know
- Packing usually happens the day before a full move, so the truck day stays short.
- Keep a separate open box for the first night: chargers, medicine, sheets, coffee.
- Pack valuables, documents and jewelry yourself and carry them with you.
