Full packing or just the hard parts

Full packing usually happens the day before the move, so loading day starts with everything ready. Partial packing is the request we get most. You do clothes and personal things, and we do the kitchen, the fragile pieces and anything heavy. Either way, it's billed by the hour and shows up as its own line in the written estimate.

Unpacking is available too. We'll empty the boxes into the kitchen cabinets and take the paper and boxes with us.

Boxes and supplies

We can bring boxes, tape, paper and wardrobe boxes so you don't have to hunt for them. Wardrobe boxes are worth it. Clothes go straight from the closet rod to the box and back. Dish packs and paper protect plates and glasses much better than towels do.

Fragile and awkward things

Mirrors, glass tabletops, framed art and TVs get extra padding or their own boxes. Lamps lose their shades and bulbs. If something is really valuable or sentimental, tell us ahead of time and ask about full-value protection, since the basic coverage in Massachusetts is 60 cents per pound per item.

Common questions

Can you pack just the kitchen?

Yes. Kitchens take the longest to pack and break the easiest.

Do you sell boxes?

We can bring boxes and supplies. Pick "Boxes & supplies" in the quote form and we'll add them to the estimate.

Is packing done on moving day?

For a small place it can be. For a full house, packing the day before keeps moving day on schedule.
