Packed
right.
The way items are packed determines whether they survive a move. Professional packing isn't about throwing things in boxes, it's a systematic process of material selection, weight distribution, cushioning, and labeling that prevents damage during loading, transit, and unloading. Our packers are trained on specific techniques for every category: stemware gets cell dividers, artwork gets corner protectors and custom mirror boxes, electronics get anti-static wrap, and furniture gets quilted pads secured with stretch wrap. We don't use shortcuts and we don't reuse boxes.
Our packing method: how we protect your belongings
Room-by-Room Inventory
Walk every room. Identify fragile items, oversized pieces, and specialty objects. Determine exact material quantities needed.
Material Staging
Deliver all boxes, paper, bubble wrap, tape, and specialty containers to your home before packing begins.
Systematic Wrapping
Each item wrapped individually. Fragile items double-wrapped. Cushioning layers between items in every box.
Weight Distribution
Heavy items in small boxes, light items in large boxes. No box exceeds 50 lbs. Prevents crushing and makes handling safe.
Labeling & Documentation
Every box labeled: room destination, contents summary, fragile warnings. Numbered inventory for tracking.
Securing & Staging
Packed boxes staged near exit points for efficient loading. Fragile items grouped for priority placement on truck.

"Not one thing
was broken."
"Outstanding. I've used these movers twice. Pricing is transparent and their team finished my move in under 3 hours! Handled my things exceptionally, wrapped the glass and were efficient."
"When my couch wouldn't fit into my new apartment, they patiently worked through the options, then added an extra stop to put it in offsite storage. I would 100% use them again."
Packing & storage
FAQ.
How much does professional packing cost?
Packing costs depend on home size and the level of service you need. Full-service packing for a 2-bedroom home typically takes one crew a full day. We provide free packing estimates with no obligation. Call (877) 417-6060 for pricing based on your specific needs.
Can I pack some things myself and have you do the rest?
Yes. Our partial packing service is our most popular option. Most customers pack their own clothing, books, and personal items, then have our team handle the kitchen, glassware, artwork, and electronics, the items most likely to break in transit.
What packing materials do you use?
We use double-walled corrugated boxes, acid-free tissue paper, bubble wrap, custom-cut foam inserts, and wardrobe boxes with hanging bars. Specialty items like artwork and mirrors get custom-built wooden crates. All materials are included in our full-service packing price.
How does your storage work?
Our climate-controlled warehouse in San Jose maintains consistent temperature and humidity year-round. Your items are inventoried, wrapped in moving blankets, and stored in secure vaults. Month-to-month contracts with no long-term commitment required. Access available during business hours.
Is climate-controlled storage worth the extra cost?
For the Bay Area, absolutely. Temperature and humidity swings damage wood furniture, electronics, leather, musical instruments, and photographs. Our climate-controlled facility protects against warping, mold, and deterioration that standard units allow.
How far in advance should I book packing services?
We recommend booking 2-3 weeks ahead, especially during summer months (May-September) when demand is highest. For last-minute needs, call us, we can often accommodate rush jobs within 48-72 hours depending on crew availability.
Do you insure packed items?
Yes. All items packed by our team are covered by our professional packing guarantee. If anything our crew packed is damaged during the move, we cover it. Basic liability coverage is included with every move, and full-value protection is available for additional peace of mind.
