Packing Services

Professional packing services typically cost $40–$80 per hour per packer, or $300–$1,500 for a full home depending on size and contents. At 845 Move Now, a 1-bedroom apartment averages $300–$600, a 3-bedroom home averages $900–$1,800, and we provide free written estimates with all-inclusive pricing—no surprise charges for materials or fragile-item handling.

Full-service packing includes everything from supplies to final box-up: our team brings boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, and tape; carefully wraps each item; packs every room (kitchen, bedroom, garage, attic); custom-builds crates for art, mirrors, and electronics; labels every box by room and contents; and creates a written inventory. You walk away with nothing to do.

Yes. Our packing services include all packing supplies: small, medium, and large boxes, dish-pack and wardrobe boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, tape, and stretch wrap. Specialty materials—mirror cartons, mattress bags, and TV crates—are also included. You don’t need to source any materials yourself.

Yes. We offer unpacking services as a stand-alone option. Our team unloads boxes, places items in their assigned rooms, sets up kitchens, hangs closets, makes beds, and hauls away all empty boxes and packing paper. Unpacking-only service typically takes 4–8 hours for a 3-bedroom home.

A 1-bedroom apartment takes 3–5 hours with two packers. A 3-bedroom home takes 6–10 hours with three packers. A 4+ bedroom house typically takes 1–2 full days. We can also pack the day before your move so loading goes faster the next morning.

Book at least 2–3 weeks in advance for non-peak season and 4–6 weeks ahead during May–September peak moving season. For last-minute moves, we offer 24–72-hour packing service when our schedule allows—call (845) 668-3669 to check same-week availability.

Yes. 845 Move Now is fully licensed and insured. Items packed by our team are covered by our professional packers’ liability protection. For high-value items (art, antiques, collectibles), we recommend declared-value coverage, which we can quote during your estimate.

Yes. Our packers are trained in fragile and high-value packing: dishes go in cell-divider dish-pack boxes with paper between each piece, electronics return to original boxes when possible or get double-boxed with foam, framed art is wrapped in glassine and bubble wrap, and large mirrors and TVs are crated in custom mirror cartons.

Packing services prepare your belongings before the move (wrapping, boxing, labeling). Moving labor handles loading, unloading, and furniture moving on move day. Most clients book both together for a seamless experience, but each can be hired separately. Use packing services if your truck is already booked; use full-service moving if you want one company to handle everything.

Yes. On request, we provide reusable plastic moving crates instead of cardboard boxes, recycled packing paper instead of bubble wrap, and we recycle or take back all used materials after unpacking. Eco-friendly packing services typically cost the same as standard packing.

Yes, in most cases. A 1–3 bedroom home can usually be fully packed in a single day with a 3-person crew. Larger homes (4+ bedrooms or 3,500+ sq ft) often require a day-and-a-half. For one-day packing, we recommend starting at 8 a.m. so the team has 8–10 working hours.
