“Earl and Dewayne were fabulous! Went above and beyond! Thank you!”
We pack the way we’d want our own grandmother’s china packed: dishes stood on edge in dish-pack boxes with paper between each one, glasses individually wrapped, mirrors and framed art in flat cartons, lamps padded and crated. Wade gives you a packing estimate alongside the move quote, so you know the all-in number before our crew brings a single roll of tape.
Birmingham summers are hot and humid, and that matters for packing. We don’t seal up anything that’s been sitting in a sweltering attic without letting it air first, and we use sturdy boxes that hold up in the heat and the back of a truck on a July afternoon.
Pick the level of packing you need
You don’t have to choose all-or-nothing. Most folks land in one of these three:
Full pack
We box the entire house, every room and closet and cabinet, with our own materials. Done the day before or the morning of the move. From $340.
Partial pack
We handle the parts that take the longest or break the easiest, like the kitchen, china, art, and electronics, while you do the simple stuff.
Fragile-only
Just the breakables: dishes, glassware, mirrors, framed pieces, and that one shelf you’re nervous about.
What full-service packing runs
Pricing scales with how much of the house you want us to box. Here’s a rough guide for materials and labor together.
| Packing scope | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Fragile / kitchen only | From $340 |
| Partial pack (1–2 bedroom) | $340 – $700 |
| Full pack (3-bedroom home) | $800 – $1,500 |
What packing service doesn’t cover
A few things sit outside a standard pack so the quote stays clear:
- Unpacking and putting things away at the new house, available but quoted separately.
- Boxing up a garage or shed full of chemicals, paint, or fuel, which can’t go on the truck.
- Specialty crating for a piano or large safe, from $319.
- Disposal of clutter you decide not to take.
Why our packing holds up on a Birmingham move
A box that survives the truck and the heat is half the job. Here’s how we keep your things safe in transit:
- Heavy-duty dish-pack and book boxes that don’t buckle when they’re stacked or sit in a warm truck.
- Dishes stood on edge and double-wrapped; stemware in cell boxes so glasses never touch.
- Mirrors, TVs, and framed art in flat cartons with corner protection.
- Clear room labels on every box so the unload at the new place actually makes sense.
Wade builds the packing into your written estimate, and everything we pack is covered the same as the rest of your move: up to $1,000,000 cargo coverage per shipment, $0.60/lb released value, with full-value protection optional. A $89 deposit holds your date and applies to the total.
