How we pack the hard rooms

Kitchens, china cabinets and closets take the longest. We wrap dishes and glassware one at a time in packing paper or bubble wrap, keep heavy items in smaller boxes so they stay safe to carry, and fill gaps so nothing shifts. Mirrors, artwork and lamps get extra protection. Every box is labeled with the room it goes to, so the crew can set it in the right place at the new home.

Packing for a Florida move

Our area has its own packing quirks. Summer storms and humidity mean boxes should be sealed and kept off damp garage floors. In hurricane season, keep documents and medications in a bag that stays with you; see our hurricane-season moving tips. Condo moves with a reserved elevator window go faster when boxes are packed and labeled the same way, and so do moves into gated communities with set move hours.

Packing for downsizing and storage

When you’re moving to a smaller home, packing is also sorting. We can pack only what’s going to the new place and keep boxes for family or donation separate. If some of it is going into temporary storage for a few months, we pack those boxes full and label them clearly so they stack well and you can find things later. See senior moving and our senior downsizing checklist.
