Our Techniques
How Professional Packers Handle Your Most Delicate Items
Professional packing is a technique, not just tape and boxes. Here's how we handle each category of items.
Kitchen (The Hardest Room)
- Every glass individually wrapped in packing paper
- Dishes stacked vertically (not flat) with paper between each
- Pots nested with paper padding
- Knife block wrapped separately, blades protected
- Small appliances individually boxed
Artwork & Mirrors
- Corner protectors on every frame
- Bubble wrap layer, then moving blanket
- Large pieces get custom cardboard corners or telescoping boxes
- Paintings transported upright, never flat
- Protection against moisture and impact
Electronics & TVs
- Original box preferred — if you kept it, we'll use it
- No original box? Custom foam packing with double-wall boxes
- TVs packed upright with foam corners
- Cable labeling: every cable tagged so reconnection is simple
- Office IT packing: see our commercial moving service
Wine & Liquor Collections

Flexibility
Pack Today, Move Tomorrow — Or Both in One Day
We adapt to your schedule and budget. Three ways to combine packing and moving.
Pack Day Before, Move Next Day
Our packing crew comes Day 1 and packs your entire home. The moving crew comes Day 2 and loads the pre-packed, labeled boxes. Fastest loading time, most organized move.
Pack and Move Same Day
The crew packs room by room and loads as they go. Best for smaller homes (studios, 1-bedrooms, 2-bedrooms). Saves a day but takes longer overall.
You Pack, We Move
You pack at your own pace over a week, we show up on moving day with the truck. We can supply boxes and materials in advance. Most budget-friendly option.
Full Service
We Unpack Too — Walk Into a Ready Home
After delivery, our crew can unpack all boxes at the destination. Boxes are emptied, contents placed on counters or shelves per your direction. All cardboard, paper, and packaging materials are removed — we take it with us. You don't have to deal with a mountain of flattened boxes.
- Ideal for: families with kids who need the home functional immediately
- Ideal for: seniors who can't manage heavy unpacking
- Ideal for: anyone who just wants it done
- We take all packaging materials when we leave
- Contents placed per your specific directions
What unpacking includes:
Opening all boxes
Every box opened and emptied carefully
