One written number, no walkthrough required.
Leave the cabinets and closets exactly as they are — our packers sleeve dishes and electronics in rigid boxes, wrap furniture, and tape every carton shut before it goes on the truck for a run across the Verrazzano-Narrows or through the tunnels into Jersey.
What gets packed
- Kitchens: dishes, glassware, small appliances
- Electronics: TVs, monitors, cabling labeled by room
- Closets: clothing, shoes, linens
- Fragile decor and artwork, corner-protected
Built into the flat rate
Full packing bundles onto any local or long-distance job at the hourly rate on your quote — $149 to $249/hr depending on crew size — with materials included, not billed separately per box.
Why it matters on a long haul
A run through the Lincoln Tunnel or across the bridge into Staten Island shakes a truck more than a same-block move. Sealed, rigid packing keeps glassware and electronics from shifting the way a loose box would.
Pairs with any move type
Combine full packing with a local move or a long-distance move, or add it ahead of a storage stay so items are sealed before they sit.

Jose P.
Queens · 3-bed house · aparser:Maps::Google::Reviews
I had a lot of unexpected issues come up on my move day, and my movers went above and beyond. Shout out to Espinoza, Alejandra, and Victor for their flexibility and hard work. Made my move-in so much better!

Victor, Espinoza, and Alejandra exceed all expectations. They were professional, courteous, and conscientious. I would highly recommend their work to anyone looking to move.

Need a different kind of help?
One honest New York crew for every kind of move across the New York City metro.
Local Moves in New York City
Most days our trucks never leave the five boroughs, running between Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan on one flat number you approve before a single box gets taped.
Long-Distance Moving from New York
Cross a state line and the same New York crew that loaded your apartment drives it through, since we run the Boston, Philadelphia, and DC corridors ourselves on our own federal authority instead of handing the load to a stranger.
Full-Service Home Moves
Brownstone in Park Slope or a split-level out on Staten Island, the routine holds: blankets on the corners, a spotter at every doorway, and furniture reset room by room before we roll out.
Apartment & Condo Moves
Doorman buildings and walk-ups off the 4th floor gate you behind reserved elevators and co-op board paperwork, so Denise nails down the certificate of insurance ahead and Sal schedules the crew straight to the window.
Interim Storage
Closing dates rarely sync in this market, so we hold the load in climate-controlled storage charged month to month, nothing locked in and no floor on how little you keep.
Piano & Specialty Moving
Keyboard instruments get their own playbook: Curtis’s team blankets the body, straps it to a skid board, and walks it through tight prewar hallways and stair turns without leaving a mark.
Common questions
Questions about this service
Do you supply the boxes and materials?
Yes, rigid boxes, packing paper, and tape are included in the packing rate — you don’t need to source anything ahead of time.
Can you pack just the kitchen or just electronics?
Yes, partial packing is common — tell us which rooms during your quote call and we’ll price just those areas.
How long does a full pack take before move day?
For most apartments we pack the day before or the morning of the move, depending on unit size and how much needs wrapping.
Is packing covered under your cargo insurance?
Items our crew packs are covered under the same $1M cargo protection that applies to the rest of the move.
Do you unpack at the destination too?
We can unwrap and place boxes in the rooms you designate; full unpacking down to shelves is available on request when you book.
