Frequently Asked Questions
How is packing priced in Lakewood?
$80/hr per packer, plus a one-time $50-per-packer travel fee, 2-hour minimum; materials additional when supplied. Fragile-only packing is a popular scope for kitchens, glassware, and art.
Do you supply the boxes and packing materials?
Yes, and they're billed additionally, itemized on the invoice, and we bring them so you're not sourcing boxes. You pay for what's used, nothing pre-bundled.
Can you pack just the fragile stuff?
Yes — kitchen, glassware, lamps, art, and electronics as a fragile-only scope is often the best value: the breakables get professional wrap, you keep packing the linens.
How long does packing a Lakewood house take?
A working estimate comes from the walkthrough — built-ins, china cabinets, and basement storage move the number more than square footage does. We quote the range before you book.
Do you unpack at the new place?
Yes — unpacking uses the same per-packer rate: $80/hr per packer, plus a one-time $50-per-packer travel fee, 2-hour minimum; materials additional when supplied. Scope can include emptying boxes, setting kitchens, and removing used packing paper and cartons.
Can you pack around my work schedule?
Ask about evening or weekend packing availability. Share your preferred window, inventory and move deadline so we can confirm the crew and scope before booking.
Do you pack TVs and art properly?
Yes — TVs in padded upright cartons, art and mirrors in picture boxes with corner protection. Tell us the inventory and the right materials show up with the crew.
What about things we're NOT taking?
We can set aside an agreed discard pile and quote haul-away separately by volume. Confirm the removal visit and accepted materials before booking; packing alone does not include junk disposal. See the junk-removal-combo page.
