Packing and Unpacking Help Without the Whole-House Default
Ask about packing & unpacking
Choose the rooms or items that need help
Full-room packing means the crew boxes all agreed items in a named room. Selected-item packing means specific groups: kitchen cabinets, a china cabinet, a master closet, a media console, or framed art. Many customers pack the everyday stuff themselves and reserve help for fragile, heavy, or awkward items.
Unpacking works the same way: a full plan, or an agreed set of boxes opened first — bedding, toiletries, kitchen basics, and chargers. The crew opens those boxes and carries the contents where you direct. A little sorting before the request makes the estimate more useful.
Boxes, tape, and packing tools
The crew arrives with dollies and standard furniture protection, including pads or blankets. The packing materials used for the agreed work are included in the work price — boxes, tape, wrap, and padding are consumables, and the count depends on your rooms and what you already own.
Tell the coordinator which rooms or items need packing so the crew brings the right supplies. If you already have boxes you want us to use, say so during the call.
Unpacking options for the new home
Unpacking means opening agreed boxes, removing packing material, and carrying contents to the rooms you name. Breaking down empty boxes can be included if you request it; cabinet placement and debris removal are confirmed case by case.
If you want dishes in the kitchen cabinets and books on shelves, say so as part of the task list. If you only want flat-packed boxes stacked by the door, say that too. A short list of placement instructions keeps the crew from guessing.
List rooms and point out fragile items
Write the rooms or areas you want covered, and next to each one write full room or selected items. Mark anything you will handle yourself. For fragile groups, name the actual thing: dishes, glassware, lamps, framed art, or electronics. If a piece is oversized or must stay upright, include its approximate size and a handling note.
For unpacking, add a priority order: which boxes open first — bedding, toiletries, kitchen basics, chargers — labeled clearly so the crew finds them without digging through the truck. Keep medication, documents, keys, phones, and valuables with you rather than packed into a moving box.
Request a callback
Leave your first name, last name, email, and phone number. A coordinator calls you back to set the packing scope and check available dates.
Frequently asked questions
Can you pack just one room instead of the whole house?
Yes. Full-room help is priced per room, and selected-item help is priced per item group. The estimate is built from the rooms and items you name — nothing you did not ask for.
Does the packing service include boxes and tape?
Moving dollies, furniture pads or blankets, and standard protection come with the crew, and the packing materials used on the job — boxes, tape, wrap, and padding — are covered by the work price. If you already have boxes you want used, mention them on the call.
Will you unpack and put dishes into the kitchen cabinets?
Unpacking includes opening agreed boxes and carrying the contents to the rooms you name. Breaking down empty boxes can be included on request; unpacking into cabinets and debris removal are confirmed case by case — never assumed. Say what you want when you request the estimate.
