Packing is the part of a move most people dread: the boxes, the paper, the evenings spent wrapping plates you’d rather be using. You don’t have to do any of it.
We’re a family-owned moving company based in Norwalk, Connecticut, and packing runs through nearly every move we do, local and long-distance, homes and offices.
Hand us the whole house or just the breakables; the choice is yours, and it never has to be all-or-nothing.
Full packing is the whole job, start to finish. We bring the boxes, paper, wrap, and cartons, pack every room, kitchen, bedrooms, closets, the garage if you want it, and label each box by the room it belongs to. Packing usually starts a day or two ahead of the move, so moving day stays about loading the truck, not hunting for tape.
Not every move needs full packing, and we won’t push it on you. Tell us what you’ll handle yourself and we’ll pack the rest. The split we see most often: you keep clothes, documents, and the things you use right up to moving day; we take the kitchen, the glassware, the books, and everything fragile. Every box gets labeled by destination room, our guide to moving box labels explains the system, and breakables are marked so the crew treats them right. Packing a few boxes yourself? Our guide on how to pack dishes for moving shows the method we use: individual wrapping, cushioning between layers, and boxes that stay light enough to lift.
What we usually pack: kitchen dishes and glassware, art and mirrors, books and media, electronics, and anything fragile.
What you might keep for yourself: clothes you still wear up to move day, documents, medications, jewelry, and the overnight bag you need the night before.
Maybe the only things you want us to touch are the things that break. That works as a service on its own. Each dish and glass gets wrapped individually, art and mirrors get cushioned for the ride, and fragile items packed separately from anything heavy. Handing us the breakables is the difference between a box of whole plates and a box of puzzle pieces.
This service works well for moves where you handle the rest yourself. The crew brings the materials, wraps each fragile piece individually, and marks the boxes so they get careful treatment on the truck.
Packing is half the job; unpacking is the other half. At the new place we unpack the boxes, set items where you want them, and carry the empty cardboard out. Start with the rooms you’ll live in first, the kitchen and the bedrooms usually, and we’ll work through the rest. You arrange; we handle the boxes.
Unpacking can be added to any move, whether you used our packing service or handled it yourself. We place items where you want them and remove all empty boxes and wrapping, leaving you to arrange and settle in.
A studio or one bedroom with just a few boxes of dishes and a couple of fragile items. We bring the materials, wrap each piece individually, and label everything by room. The crew handles the breakables with care, and the whole job is done in a few hours. You keep your clothes and daily essentials, and we take care of the rest. The scope and price are confirmed in writing before we start, so you know exactly what to expect.
A family home with several rooms, a kitchen full of glassware, books, electronics, and art on the walls. We pack every room, from the bedrooms to the garage if you want it, using boxes, paper, and wrap we bring along. Each box is labeled by destination room, and fragile items are marked for careful handling. Packing starts a day or two ahead, so moving day is just about loading the truck. You get a written estimate before anything is booked.
An apartment with narrow stairs, a long walk from the parking spot, or a building with strict rules about elevators and loading times. We check the access at both addresses before we start, plan the route for furniture and boxes, and pad floors and walls to protect them. The crew is sized to the job, so nothing is rushed or forced. We confirm the plan and price in writing, and you approve it before we book anything. No surprises on moving day.
Our full service packing and unpacking solution brings our truck, driver, and crew to handle the entire job. We pack every room you choose, from kitchen dishes to fragile art, labeling each box by destination. At the new place, we unpack, place items where you want them, and remove the empty boxes. You simply approve the written estimate, and we manage the rest.
Before your move, our guides walk you through every step of packing and unpacking, from sorting rooms to wrapping fragile items. We share practical advice on choosing materials, labeling boxes, and protecting furniture, so you can prepare with confidence. Whether you handle everything yourself or bring in professional help, these resources help you plan a smoother, more organized relocation.

We handle the entire packing job from start to finish, bringing boxes, paper, wrap, and cartons to your door. Every room gets packed, labeled, and organized by destination, so moving day stays focused on loading the truck. You skip the evenings spent wrapping plates and hunting for tape, and we make sure nothing gets left behind or mixed up.
You decide how much we take on, whether that is the whole house, just the kitchen and glassware, or only the fragile items that worry you most. We adapt the crew and materials to match your chosen scope, and the split is confirmed in writing before anything gets booked. No pressure to hand over more than you want.
Each dish and glass gets wrapped individually, art and mirrors receive extra cushioning, and breakables are packed separately from anything heavy. We mark fragile boxes so the crew treats them with care from your door to the truck and into your new place. The result is whole plates, not puzzle pieces, when you unpack.
We do not stop at loading; at the new address we unpack the boxes, place items where you want them, and carry the empty cardboard out. Start with the kitchen and bedrooms, then work through the rest at your pace. You arrange the furniture while we handle the boxes, making settling in faster and easier.
Packing costs depend on the amount of work, from a one bedroom kitchen to a full house of art and glass. On local Connecticut moves, packing help commonly runs from about $250 to $1,400. The written estimate confirms the final figure, so there are no surprises.

For full house packing we usually start a day or two before the move, so moving day stays about loading the truck. Partial packing can happen closer to the date, but booking early locks in your crew and materials. We confirm the exact schedule in writing before anything is booked.
Keep clothes you still wear, documents, medications, jewelry, and an overnight bag handy. You might also want chargers, toiletries, and valuables you don’t want boxed. We label everything by room, but you control what stays out. Tell us your keep list and we’ll work around it.
Yes, fragile only packing is a standalone service. We individually wrap each dish and glass, cushion art and mirrors, and pack breakables separately from anything heavy. You handle the rest of the house. This works well if you’re comfortable packing clothes and books but want the breakables done right.
