Packing & Unpacking

Packing and unpacking may seem like the most apparent part of moving. However, packing can make a huge difference on move day. Properly packed boxes can save money, prevent damage to your items, and save time spent loading a truck. Use these helpful packing ideas to show you how the professionals pack the most common and specialty items.

Assembly and Disassembly

Large and intricate items, such as bedroom sets, gym equipment, or custom cabinetry, require careful disassembly and reassembly. Our handy teams are trained in furniture assembly and equipped with the right clever tools. This ensures that your valued possessions are handled with precision, providing a seamless transition to your new home.
