Packing & Unpacking Services for a Seamless Move
One of the most time-consuming parts of moving is the packing. That’s why we offer optional packing and unpacking services to make your move even easier. We can supply high-quality boxes, tape, and packing supplies if you prefer to do it yourself. But if you’d rather leave it to us, our trained team can step in and handle the entire packing process.
We take a room-by-room approach to ensure everything is organized, labeled, and protected. Fragile items such as glassware, artwork, and electronics receive extra care and customized packing solutions to prevent breakage. Our team has years of experience safely wrapping, boxing, and stacking all types of household goods.
Once we arrive at your new home, we don’t just unload and leave—we help set up. Our unpacking services include placing boxes in their appropriate rooms, unpacking essentials, assembling furniture, and disposing of packing materials. That way, you can settle in quickly and comfortably.

How to Prepare for Your Residential Move
Preparation is key to a smooth and successful move. Here are a few tips we recommend to help get your home ready for our team:
- Start Early: Begin decluttering your home several weeks in advance. Donate or discard items you no longer need. The less you move, the more time and money you save.
- Create an Inventory: Make a list of valuable items or family heirlooms that require extra care. We’ll note these during the planning process so we can pack and transport them accordingly.
- Label Your Boxes: If you’re packing on your own, be sure to label all boxes with their contents and intended room. This helps us unload quickly and efficiently.
- Set Aside Essentials: Pack a separate bag with essential items such as medications, toiletries, chargers, and important documents. This ensures you have what you need the first night in your new home.
- Communicate With Us: We encourage open communication throughout the moving process. Whether you have last-minute changes or special requests, we’re here to accommodate your needs.
Our team will also work with you ahead of moving day to confirm all logistics, including parking arrangements, access to elevators (if applicable), and any timing restrictions that may affect your move.
Answers to Common Residential Moving Questions
We get it—moving comes with a lot of questions. Here are answers to some of the most common ones we hear from homeowners in Alabama and Georgia:
Q: How far in advance should I schedule my move?
A: Ideally, book your residential move 4–6 weeks in advance, especially during peak moving seasons (spring and summer). This allows us to reserve your preferred date and allocate the right crew size and resources for your relocation.
Q: Are my belongings insured during the move?
A: Yes. We offer basic valuation coverage on all moves and additional insurance options for high-value items. Your peace of mind matters to us, so we’ll walk you through your coverage options before the move begins.
Q: Do I need to be present on moving day?
A: We highly recommend that you’re present, at least at the start and finish of the move. This helps us confirm any specific instructions and gives you a chance to inspect your belongings during load-out and delivery.
Q: Can you move specialty items like pianos or antiques?
A: Absolutely. Our team is trained to handle specialty and oversized items with the utmost care. We use specialized equipment and packing materials to ensure safe transport.
Q: What if my new home isn’t ready yet?
A: No problem. We offer short-term and long-term storage solutions in secure, climate-controlled facilities. We’ll hold your belongings until you’re ready for delivery.
Q: What areas in Alabama and Georgia do you serve?
A: We serve a wide range of cities and towns across both states, including Birmingham, Montgomery, Tuscaloosa, Mobile, Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, and many more. Whether you’re moving within your city or crossing state lines, we’re here to help.
