Professional Packing Services

Professional packing typically adds $300–$1,500 to a local move and $700–$2,500 to a long-distance move, depending on home size and how much you want packed. Materials are billed separately and typically run $150–$500. Partial packing (just fragile items) is more affordable than full-home packing.

Yes, partial packing is one of our most common requests. Many customers pack their clothes, books, and non-fragile items themselves, then have our crew handle kitchen items, fragile decor, electronics, artwork, and anything requiring custom crating. We discuss the split during the quote process.

For a 2-3 bedroom home you typically need 60–100 boxes (mix of small, medium, large), 4–6 rolls of packing tape, 2–3 large rolls of packing paper, bubble wrap for fragile items, mattress bags, and 5–10 wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes. MC Movers supplies all of these and can deliver them before move day.

Yes, our crew is trained to pack fragile items including dishes, glassware, artwork, mirrors, electronics, and antiques. We use proper boxes (dish-pack boxes, picture boxes), padding, and labeling. For highly valuable artwork or antiques, custom wood crating is available as an add-on.

A 2-person crew can typically pack a 2-bedroom home in 4–6 hours and a 3-bedroom home in 6–10 hours. We usually pack the day before pickup so move-day runs smoothly. For larger homes, packing may span two days.

Yes, unpacking service is available at destination. The crew unboxes, places items in designated rooms, and removes all packing debris (boxes, paper, tape) when finished. Unpacking is itemized separately on your quote and is typically faster than packing.
