Pack It the Right Way and Nothing Arrives in Pieces
Diagnose a wrecked move and the carton is almost always guilty long before the truck is. The kitchen thrown into boxes at midnight. The mirror packed flat when it needed to ride upright. Grandmother’s stemware that gave out on one hard brake on I-275. Hand the whole pack-up to our crew, supplies and all, and the cost to your week is one normal day with not a dollar of tape leaving your pocket.
Inside the Service
- The full materials list provided, from common cartons through specialty and odd shapes
- Reinforced dish-packs alongside flat mirror cartons, sized for fragile loads
- Every dish, frame and glass cushioned on its own
- Wardrobe cartons that take clothes straight off the closet bar still hanging
- A counted, room-marked carton register stitched into your inventory
What Materials Go Where
Here’s roughly how the supplies get used so nothing rides in the wrong box. Glassware and stemware load into dish-pack cartons with corrugated dividers, each piece rolled in packing paper. Plates stack on edge, not flat, inside the same dish-packs. Mirrors, framed art and TVs go into flat picture cartons with corner protectors. Lamps and shades each get their own carton and a collar of paper. Books fill small 1.5-cubic-foot boxes so nobody throws out a back lifting them; linens and pillows fill the large 4.5-cubic-foot boxes. Closets empty straight into wardrobe cartons on the hanging bar. Then it all gets a layer of stretch film and a room label.
The Rhythm of a Pack Day
The crew shows up fully stocked and works room by room, starting in the spaces you rarely touch and saving the kitchen for last. Each fragile piece earns its own cushioning before it ever goes into a carton. As a box seals it gets marked to its room and logged onto the inventory, which at the far end turns unpacking into a clean sort instead of cracking open anonymous cardboard one riddle at a time. Carton bottoms get a second pass of tape, because around here a box is likely to ride a freight elevator, bump down a bungalow stoop or wait inside a truck through an afternoon downpour before it ever reaches the new threshold.
What We Don’t Touch
Perishables, ammunition, hazmat and open liquids all stay behind, because carriers turn them away no matter whose hands sealed the carton. Unpacking and putting away at the far end happen strictly when you ask. And our guarantee stands behind cartons our crew filled and shut, not the ones you packed yourself.
Pricing
The charge tracks the supplies and labor a given home needs, stacked on top of the move. For reference, flat-rate jobs run between $380 for a studio and $2,600 for a three-bedroom; the pack-up earns a separate quote once we’ve measured the volume of china and glass that needs protecting.
