how we protect it
Packing standards are the boring part that decides whether anything breaks: dish packs for crockery, cell dividers for glass, paper on the inside and blankets on the outside, cartons filled to the top so nothing shifts and nothing crushes.
Crews on this work have completed the Common Movers Certification, including the property protection and specialty handling modules. Read the curriculum.
packing and unpacking, answered
How much does packing and unpacking cost?
One flat rate, written down before anything moves. A coordinator reads what you send, sizes the crew and the equipment, and sends one number. Nothing is due up front: you pay after you have walked the rooms with us.
How many movers turn up?
Whatever the piece needs, and it is named in your quote before you book. Two for a single item with a clear path, four or more when it takes muscle. The rate does not change because the job turned out to be hard.
What if the access is difficult?
Send photos before the day. Side gates, spiral staircases, low clearances and third floor walk ups are most of what we do, and a coordinator will say honestly whether it can be done.
Can you come today?
Sometimes. We hold crews back for same day work. Call or text (877) 657-0555 rather than filling in the form, because a person can staff it faster than an inbox can.
