Long-Distance Packing Is Not the Same as Local Packing
A box that survives a ten-mile drive may not survive a week on the interstate.
On a local move, a loosely packed box rides for half an hour. On a move from California to the East Coast it may sit on a truck for days, shifting with every lane change and stop. Long-distance packing has to account for vibration, weight distribution and temperature swings. That means double-wrapped dishes, filled voids, sturdy cartons and labels that still make sense when you open them weeks later.
Three Ways We Can Pack
Full-service packing
We pack every room, from the garage to the linen closet, with a systematic inventory and labels for interstate transport.
Partial or room-only
Just the kitchen, just the garage or just the rooms you dread. You pack the rest yourself.
Fragile-only
Dishes and glassware in specialty cartons, artwork and antiques in custom crates, electronics in anti-static materials.
What We Bring on Packing Day
- Sturdy boxes in several sizes
- Dish packs and cell kits for glassware
- Wardrobe cartons so clothes travel on hangers
- Packing paper, bubble wrap and tape
- Mattress and furniture covers
- Custom wooden crates for high-value pieces
Every box is labeled with its contents and the room it belongs in at your new home. That small step saves hours at the other end, because the crew can put each box in the right room instead of stacking everything in the garage.
How Packing Day Works
Custom plan
We review your home, agree on what we pack and what you pack, and include it all in your written estimate.
Packing day
The crew arrives with supplies, works room by room and builds the inventory as it goes. A 2–3 bedroom home is often packed in one day.
Ready to load
Boxes are sealed, labeled and staged so loading day moves quickly and nothing is left half-packed.
Unpacking and Organization
Unpacking is optional but popular, especially for families arriving with kids or people starting a new job right away. The crew empties boxes into the rooms you choose, reassembles furniture we took apart and hauls away all used packing materials. You walk into a home that works on the first night instead of a maze of cardboard.
Do You Need to Be Home?
It is not required, but we recommend being there at the start to point out what stays, what is fragile and what goes in your car, and again at the end for a walkthrough. If you would like to do some packing yourself, our step-by-step packing guide and the professional long-distance packing guide show the techniques our crews use.
How long does it take to pack a whole house?
It depends on the size of the home and how much is in it. Our team can often pack a 2–3 bedroom home in one day.
Can you pack only certain rooms or items?
Yes. Partial packing can cover a single room, the kitchen or only fragile items.
What materials are included?
Full-service packing includes boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, tape and specialty cartons for dishes and wardrobes.
Are items you pack covered differently?
Items packed by our crew are documented on the inventory. Released Value Protection is included and Full Value Protection is available.
Do you unpack too?
Yes. We can unpack, place contents, reassemble furniture and remove all packing materials.
