Packing Options to Fit Your Move
- Full packing – Our crew packs your entire household, typically the day before your move, room by room, labeled and inventoried.
- Partial packing – You pack what you are comfortable with, and we take the kitchen, the breakables, the artwork, or whatever you would rather not risk.
- Fragile-only packing – Dishes, glassware, lamps, mirrors, and electronics packed in purpose-built cartons by people who do it every week.
- Unpacking service – Cartons unpacked, contents placed on flat surfaces, and packing debris removed, so your new home is livable fast.
- Custom crating – Through Naglee Fine Arts, custom wooden crates for artwork, antiques, and pieces that ordinary boxes cannot protect.
- Materials supplied – Every job arrives with professional cartons, paper, tape, and protective wrap included in the work.
How Professional Packing Actually Differs
The difference is not effort; it is technique and materials. Dish packs with cell dividers instead of grocery boxes. Unprinted paper instead of newspaper ink on your plates. Mirror cartons sized to the mirror. Wardrobe boxes that move closets in minutes. Every carton labeled with its room and contents, every fragile box marked and loaded accordingly.
There is also a practical benefit people discover at claim time: items packed by the mover carry cleaner protection than items packed by the owner, because the packing itself is part of our workmanship. When we pack it, we stand behind it.
For households with significant collections, we add a layer of documentation: high-value items are listed, photographed where appropriate, and packed with their inventory numbers marked on the cartons. If a question ever comes up about a particular piece, there is a record of how it was packed and where it traveled, which protects you and keeps any claim simple.

Frequently Asked Questions
We answer the questions people actually ask before hiring a mover: licensing, coverage, pricing, and what happens on moving day.
Through mapped shelving, numbered carts and containers loaded in sequence, range-by-range manifests, and a destination plan that mirrors the origin. Order is verified during loading and again at reshelving.
Full packing covers the entire household. Partial packing covers whatever rooms or categories you choose, most often the kitchen and fragile items, while you handle the rest. Your estimate prices both so you can decide.
Yes. Unpacking service places contents on counters and flat surfaces, and we haul away the cartons and paper. Many customers also have us collect flattened boxes after they unpack themselves.
Professional-grade cartons including dish packs with dividers, wardrobe and mirror cartons, unprinted packing paper, bubble wrap, stretch wrap, and custom wooden crates when a piece calls for it.
Yes. Fragile-only packing is one of our most requested options: we take the china, glassware, lamps, electronics, and art, and you pack the unbreakables on your own schedule.
Book packing when you book the move, ideally four to six weeks out. The packing crew is typically scheduled for the day before loading, and reserving both together guarantees the dates line up.
