Customer-packed boxes are not included in any mover's insurance policy, so it's essential to protect yourself. Our seasoned professional packers will arrive the day before your move to handle everything for you. If you opt for a full pack-and-move service with our company, your only task will be to await your move date. We also offer unpacking services at an hourly rate, and we provide significant discounts for clients who may have a disability that hinders them from packing or unpacking themselves. Our Christian values drive our commitment to compassionate service.

If a full house packing isn't within your moving budget, consider our fragile items-only packing service. This service includes the packing of all glassware, ceramics, paintings, mirrors, china, dishes, glasses, statues, candles, and other delicate items (you'll pack your pots and pans, while we take care of the glass lids).

When packing your belongings yourself, remember the rule: soft items in, hard items out! Use your drawers to hold folded clothes, linens, blankets, hats, etc.—weight is not an issue for movers. Keep soft items in drawers and cabinets while ensuring that hard items are removed. For example, we may stack a nightstand on top of another, with blankets wrapped in the truck. Hard items like pens and coins can fall into gaps, potentially causing damage.

Visit our packing materials page to purchase supplies tailored to the size of your home.

Once you've finished with your used boxes, give us a call, and we'll happily pick them up and recycle them, repurposing them for those in need who cannot afford new boxes.

Make sure to fill boxes to the top. Air space can cause boxes to collapse when stacked.

We understand that tall items may protrude from open boxes. Please limit open boxes up to 10. We obviously cannot stack on them, they have to be top loaded only and top loading is limited.

For your security, please keep all jewelry and cash with you. During most moving scenarios, there will be various inspectors, realtors, cleaners, and contractors coming in and out of the home. We prefer not to take responsibility for the actions of others. Our professionals are compensated well and treated with respect; we conduct comprehensive background checks on their previous employment and criminal records, and we take the time to get to know them personally, as well as their families. They have no need or desire for our clients’ belongings.

Also, keep your important papers that you may need to access with you, as they could be difficult to locate later if packed away.

Packers will handle everything! Please keep any cable boxes that need to be returned, remotes, keys, and other items you wish to remain unpacked in your vehicle.

When packing pictures and mirrors, we wrap each piece in heavy-duty padded brown paper and place them in sturdy cardboard containers designed with corners to accommodate various sizes. For inexpensive pictures or those protected by glass, pad wrapping is typically sufficient. Mirrors can also be blanket-wrapped if preferred. Crating options are always available.

We appreciate the use of garbage bags! Please limit them to soft items only. This helps us secure and compress your load. Garbage bags work well for bed pillows, throw pillows, comforters, stuffed animals, and similar items.

Here's a refined version of your paragraph:

All items not in a cardboard box will be wrapped in blankets, while mattresses will be securely bagged. Additionally, we apply shrink wrap to furniture to ensure further protection.

If you've packed any items yourself, please leave your boxes where they are. We're your movers—why move them again? There's no need to risk injury. We actually prefer that you don't cluster them in one location, as we need to access boxes of varying sizes and weights to load the truck efficiently throughout your move, and this task becomes challenging when they are piled up in one corner.

Please avoid blocking hallways and doorways with boxes or furniture.

We utilize heavy-duty packs for your fragile items, constructed from a superior grade of cardboard.

Our experienced packers only use professional packing paper, bubble wrap, and peanuts. Our packing paper surpasses what's found in box stores, being of much higher quality and larger size—you'll find that one of our sheets is equivalent to three of theirs. We offer this at just one dollar per pound.

Never use newspaper for packing! This practice is outdated, as modern inks can stain everything they touch. We've even seen ink permanently embedded in glass.

Money-saving tip: If you have access to your new home within an hour's drive, consider purchasing enough plastic bins that fit in your car to minimize your box usage by making several trips. If you have early access, you're likely to make extra trips anyway—so bring along some items to save both time and money.

Don't hesitate to ask us for assistance in learning how to pack professionally if you plan to do it yourself. We’re here to help you get up to speed; this is our expertise. There are no silly questions.
