Why Choose Best Montgomery Movers for Packing & Unpacking?

  1. Experienced, Trained Packing Crews
    Our background-checked, fully trained packers know exactly how to wrap, cushion, and secure items of all shapes and sizes. From delicate glassware to bulky furniture, we use industry‑best methods to minimize risk and maximize protection.

  2. High-Quality Packing Materials
    We source sturdy, purpose-built materials:

    • Double‑wall corrugated boxes (standard, wardrobe, and dish packs)

    • Bubble wrap, packing paper, and foam padding

    • Specialty crates for artwork, mirrors, and electronics

    • Heavy‑duty tape, stretch wrap, and secure labeling supplies

  3. Customized Packing Plans
    No two moves are alike. During your initial consultation, we assess:

    • Number of rooms and estimated box count

    • Fragility and value of items (china, antiques, electronics)

    • Oversized or specialty belongings (pianos, pool tables, sculptures)

    • Timeline and budget
      With these details, we create a tailored packing plan that fits your schedule and priorities.

  4. Comprehensive Insurance & Liability Protection
    Packing is only as reliable as the company behind it. Best Montgomery Movers carries full liability coverage, ensuring your items are protected. Should any unexpected incident occur, our coverage and additional valuation options give you peace of mind.

  5. Streamlined Unpacking & Debris Removal
    A move isn’t complete until everything is unpacked and your new space is functional. Our unpacking teams:

    • Place furniture and boxes in designated rooms

    • Unwrap and set up major appliances

    • Assemble bed frames, dressers, and shelving units

    • Remove (and recycle) all packing materials, leaving no mess behind


Our Packing & Unpacking Service Inclusions

1. Pre-Move Planning & On-Site Assessment

  • Free Consultation: We discuss your moving date, inventory list, and any special requirements (fragile items, antiques, or high-dollar electronics).

  • On‑Site Walkthrough (if needed): For large estates or complex moves, a packing supervisor visits your home to inspect fragile collections, artwork arrangements, and specialty items—then recommends custom crating or extra padding.

2. Professional Packing Services

  • Room-by-Room Packing: Our packers work systematically to pack one room at a time, labeling each box with color‑coded labels and an itemized list (e.g., “Kitchen | Fragile | Dishes & Glassware”).

  • Fragile Item Protection: We use dish packs with removable cell inserts for plates, stemware, and porcelain; bubble wrap and foam wrap for vases, figurines, and small antiques.

  • Electronics Packing: Computers, televisions, stereo systems, and gaming consoles get cushioned in anti‑static bubble wrap or custom‑cut foam, then sealed in network‑labeled boxes for quick reassembly.

  • Wardrobe Packing: Hanging clothes remain wrinkle-free on specialized wardrobe boxes—each box acts like a portable closet.

  • Furniture Wrap & Cushioning: Sofas, chairs, and tables receive moving blankets and stretch wrap. Any removable legs or shelves are labeled, wrapped, and packed separately.

  • Custom Crating: Oversized artwork, mirrors, and marble‑top tables get custom wooden crates to ensure maximum protection during loading, transport, and unloading.

3. Safe Loading & Unloading

  • Proper Weight Distribution: Even if you hire separate movers, our packers load your boxes and wrapped furniture with careful weight distribution—placing heavier items on the bottom and lighter boxes on top to prevent crushing.

  • Secured Truck Placement: Each box is strapped or wedged to prevent shifting in transit. Fragile boxes are never placed near sharp edges or potential impact zones.

4. Efficient Unpacking & Setup

  • Room‑by‑Room Unpacking: Upon arrival, we unload and place every box in its labeled room. For example, all boxes marked “Living Room” go directly there, saving you time looking for essentials.

  • Object Placement & Furniture Setup: We assemble beds, bookshelves, and any disassembled furniture. We connect major appliances (e.g., plug in the refrigerator, reconnect the washer to pre‑existing hookups), leaving your new home move‑in ready.

  • Debris Removal: After unpacking, our crew collects all packing materials—boxes, paper, bubble wrap, and crates—for recycling or disposal. You’re left with a clean, organized space.

5. Specialty Item Packing & Crating

  • Artwork & Mirrors: Each piece is measured; a custom crate is built with internal padding to prevent vibrations and protect glass.

  • Pianos & Organs: These instruments require careful packing of pedals, lids, and keys. We wrap the entire instrument in padded moving blankets and secure it on a piano skid to prevent jostling.

  • Large Electronics: Home theater systems, projectors, and server racks are disassembled (if applicable), packed in foam‑lined crates, and labeled for reassembly.

  • Antiques & Fine Furniture: High-value antiques get extra padding layers. We wrap each component—cabinet doors, drawers, detachable legs—in furniture pads and shrink wrap to prevent scratches.


The Packing & Unpacking Process Step by Step

  1. Schedule a Consultation

    • Call 1-334-947-1190 or email info@bestmontgomerymovers.com to request a free, no-obligation estimate.

    • Provide details: estimated square footage, number of rooms, any specialty items.

  2. Receive Your Written Estimate

    • We itemize labor hours, packing materials (boxes, tape, bubble wrap), and any custom crating fees.

    • Transparent, flat-rate pricing based on scope—no hidden fees or last‑minute upcharges.

  3. Finalize the Packing Plan

    • Confirm your moving date and time window.

    • Set a start time for our packing crews (e.g., begin at 8:00 AM to pack Kitchen & Bedrooms first).

  4. On-Premises Packing Day

    • Our team arrives in uniform, reviews the plan with you, and gathers additional instructions (e.g., “Label Fine China Box as ‘Handle with Care’”).

    • Packers work room by room, protecting flooring and door frames with runners and corner guards if needed.

    • Throughout the day, we update you on progress and request guidance for any unforeseen items (e.g., “Do we pack the boxed artwork behind the linen closet?”).

  5. Move Day Coordination

    • If our team is also handling the move, packers assist with loading and unloading. If not, they hand off labeled, wrapped items to your hired movers or rental truck.

    • We can remain on-site during the move to oversee the safe placement of fragile boxes and custom crates.

  6. Unpacking & Debris Haul-Away

    • Once at the new address, our unpacking crew places boxes in designated rooms, unwraps furniture, and assembles all items per your instructions.

    • We set up beds, reconnect electronics, and ensure major appliances are functional.

    • Final step: we remove all packing materials, leaving you with a clean, organized home.


Benefits of Hiring Professional Packers

  • Time Savings: A two‑person household can spend an entire weekend packing. Our professional crew completes the job in a fraction of the time.

  • Reduced Breakage & Loss: Amateur packing often leads to broken items or lost components. Our meticulous labeling and protective techniques minimize risk.

  • Stress Reduction: By delegating packing to experts, you can focus on redirecting mail, updating utilities, and preparing children or pets for the move.

  • Accurate Inventory Tracking: Detailed inventories ensure nothing is misplaced. Each box has a numbered label and contents list, so you always know where your valuables are.

  • Streamlined Unpacking: We don’t just drop boxes in the living room—we unpack, place furniture, and set up your essentials so you can start enjoying your new home immediately.

Common Questions About Packing & Unpacking

Q: How much notice do you need to schedule packing services?
A: We recommend booking at least 2–3 weeks in advance for standard residential moves. If you need last‑minute packing (within 3–5 days), we’ll do our best to accommodate—depending on crew availability.

Q: Do you supply all packing materials, or do I need to purchase my own?
A: We supply everything: boxes (various sizes), packing paper, bubble wrap, specialty crates, tape, labels, and markers. All material costs are included in your written estimate.

Q: Can you pack only certain rooms or fragile items instead of the entire house?
A: Absolutely. Many clients choose to pack bedrooms and delicate items themselves, then have our team handle the kitchen, living room electronics, and artwork. We’re flexible to match your needs and budget.

Q: Are there items you cannot pack?
A: For safety and legal reasons, we cannot pack hazardous materials such as:

  • Flammable liquids (gasoline, propane)

  • Aerosol cans under pressure (spray paint, butane lighters)

  • Perishable foods

  • Open containers of liquid (cleaning supplies, paint cans)
    You must remove these items before our crew arrives. We can provide a detailed list of prohibited items upon request.

Q: How long does packing and unpacking typically take?
A: Timing depends on home size, number of belongings, and complexity. As a guideline:

  • One-bedroom apartment: 4–6 hours to pack; 3–5 hours to unpack.

  • Two‑bedroom home: 8–10 hours to pack; 6–8 hours to unpack.

  • Three‑bedroom home: 10–14 hours to pack; 8–12 hours to unpack.
    Your personal quote will provide a more accurate timeline based on an inventory assessment.

Q: Will you help me organize as you unpack?
A: Yes. If you’d like, we can arrange clothing in closets, position kitchen items in cabinets, and set up electronics in closets. Simply provide your layout preferences during the consultation.
