Packing services for any room you do not want to box yourself
Full-pack service for a typical San Diego 2-bedroom home runs $800 to $1,400 in labor plus $300 to $500 in materials, finished in one day before the move. We use manufacturer-grade double-wall boxes, dish-pack barrels, mattress bags, and mirror cartons, not the recycled liquor-store boxes some crews show up with. Fragile-only and partial-pack options are also on the table.
What's included in this service?
- Full-pack: every room boxed and labeled, typically the day before the move
- Partial-pack: kitchen, art, electronics, and closets only (most common request)
- Fragile-only: china, stemware, art, mirrors, and electronics with custom crating
- Materials: double-wall book boxes, dish-pack barrels, wardrobe boxes, mirror/picture cartons, mattress bags, TV boxes
- Same-day pack-and-load for studios and small 1-bedrooms when scheduled in advance
- Unpacking service at destination for clients who want furniture placed and paper hauled away
When do you need this service?
- You're short on time and the move is in under two weeks
- You have a kitchen full of stemware, china, or specialty cookware
- You own art, framed mirrors, or electronics that need real packing materials
- You're a senior or have mobility limits that make packing hard
- You're getting reimbursed for a corporate or military move and packing is covered
What do homeowners ask about Packing?
How long does a kitchen pack take?
An average San Diego kitchen with full china, glassware, small appliances, and pantry contents takes a 2-packer crew 3 to 5 hours. Larger kitchens with butler's pantries or wine collections run 5 to 7 hours. The crew brings dish-pack barrels (which are double-walled and divided), packing paper, and bubble for stemware and crystal.
Should we do full-pack or partial-pack?
Most San Diego clients land on partial-pack: they handle clothes, books, and bedrooms themselves and have us pack the kitchen, art, and electronics. That's the highest-ROI use of professional packing because those are the rooms where bad packing causes real damage. Full-pack makes sense for tight timelines, large homes, and reimbursed corporate or military moves.
Do you pack the day before or the same day as the move?
For 2-bedroom homes and larger, we pack the day before. That gives the crew breathing room and means move day is just loading and driving. For studios and small 1-bedrooms, we can pack and load the same day if you book a 4-mover crew. Same-day pack-and-load is harder to schedule on short notice.
What about valuation if a packer breaks something?
Items packed by our crew are covered under the same Released Value (60 cents/lb/article) or Full Value Protection you choose for the move. Items packed by you (PBO, packed by owner) typically aren't covered for internal damage unless the box arrives visibly crushed. If you're choosing FVP and packing yourself, talk to us first about which boxes to leave for the crew.

Two-bedroom walk-up off Mission with a 6-foot back alley. They sized it right, brought a 17-foot shuttle, and finished in five hours. Final invoice came in under the binding estimate.
PCS to Norfolk on a tight DPS window. They handled the on-base gate paperwork, weighed the load with us watching, and the long-distance team had it on a USDOT truck by Wednesday. Knew the reimbursement paperwork cold.
Downsizing from a four-bedroom to a two-bedroom condo at 78. The crew sorted with us, dropped donations at AmVets on the way, and never once made us feel rushed. Worth every dollar.
