Packing is the part of every move that takes longer than people expect.

What Our Packing Service Includes

Every packing job we handle is built around the same goal: protect everything, label it properly, and make the unpack on the other end fast and organized. A typical packing project with us includes the following.

Pre-Pack Walkthrough and Estimate
We start with a walkthrough of your home, room by room, to understand the volume, the fragiles, and any items that need special handling. From there we build a written estimate based on the time and supplies your home actually needs, not a flat rate guess made over the phone. You decide whether you want full packing, partial packing, or a fragile-only service before any quote is finalized.

Full Service Packing
For homeowners who want the entire job handled, our professional packers cover every room. Kitchens, china cabinets, bookshelves, closets, garages, basements, attics, sheds, and home offices. We supply industry-grade boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, dish packs, wardrobe cartons, and mattress covers. Every box is labeled with the room and a short content note so you know what you are opening at the new house.

Fragile and Specialty Item Packing
China, crystal, artwork, mirrors, electronics, vinyl collections, instruments, and inherited heirlooms get the extra care they deserve. Our team uses dish packs, double-boxing, custom corner protection, and bubble wrap for any item that cannot survive a generic toss into a box. For high-value pieces and oversized art, we build custom crates to spec.

Partial Packing and Last-Minute Help
Plenty of customers want to pack their own clothes and personal items but need help with the kitchen, the basement, or the office. Partial packing is one of our most requested services and we tailor it to whatever rooms you want covered. We also accept last-minute packing jobs when life gets in the way, including same-week and night-before bookings when our schedule allows.

Supplies-Only Option
If you prefer to pack yourself but want quality materials, we deliver boxes, paper, tape, mattress covers, and specialty cartons straight to your door. Our supplies are the same ones our crews use on every job, which makes the pack stronger and the unload safer.

Coordinated Pack and Move
Most customers book packing alongside their move so the entire project runs through one team. We pack the day before, load the morning of, and unload at the new home on the same schedule. One company, one crew, one accountability chain from the first box to the last piece of furniture set in place.

15 Years of Local Experience

We have been packing and moving homes in this corner of Massachusetts since 2011. We know which Lexington kitchens are stocked with generations of inherited china. We know which Arlington walkups need extra dish packs because of the stairwell turns. We know which Bedford and Belmont homes have basements packed with decades of belongings. That kind of local insight only comes from years of doing the work, in the same neighborhoods, for the same kinds of homes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do packing services cost in Lexington, MA?

Arrow Down

Packing is billed hourly based on the number of packers your home needs, plus the cost of materials used. The total depends on home size, the volume of fragile items, and how much packing you want covered – full home, partial, or fragile-only. The pre-pack walkthrough is what produces an accurate estimate for your specific home, and after our three-hour minimum, billing runs in 15-minute increments so you only pay for the time worked.

How long does it take to pack a typical home?

Arrow Down

A one-bedroom apartment usually takes a small crew most of a day. A three-bedroom home is closer to a full day with multiple packers, and four-bedroom homes with full basements or attics often run a day and a half. Fragile-heavy homes – lots of china, glassware, or collectibles – take longer because each piece needs individual care. The walkthrough is where we set the realistic timeline.

Can you pack the day before the move?

Arrow Down

Yes, that is the most common setup. We pack the day before so everything is boxed, labeled, and staged when the moving crew arrives the next morning. For smaller homes, we can sometimes pack and move on the same day, but for full-home jobs, a day-of-move pack tends to stretch the timeline. The walkthrough is where we recommend the right schedule for your home.

Do you supply all the packing materials?

Arrow Down

Yes. Our packers bring industry-grade boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, tape, dish packs, wardrobe cartons, mattress covers, and specialty crates for fragile or oversized items. Materials are billed as used, so you are not paying for boxes that never got opened. If you prefer to pack yourself but want our supplies, we also deliver materials straight to your door.

Can you pack fragile items, art, and antiques safely?

Arrow Down

Absolutely. Fragile and high-value packing is one of the most common reasons customers book us. We use dish packs for kitchenware, double-boxing for delicate pieces, custom corner protection for framed art, and bubble wrap and acid-free paper for heirlooms and collectibles. For especially valuable or oversized art and antiques, we build custom crates to spec.

Do I have to book packing and moving together?

Arrow Down

No. Plenty of customers book packing on its own, especially for downsizing, estate clearouts, or moves where another company is handling transport. That said, most homeowners find it easier to run the entire project through one crew – we pack the day before, move the morning of, and unload at the new home on the same schedule. One company, one accountability chain, fewer moving parts.
