Full-service packing gets booked most often ahead of a long-distance move or a house sale with a tight closing date — kitchens, since they take longest and break easiest, and garages that have quietly filled up over a decade. The crew brings its own boxes, paper, and wrap rather than asking a client to source materials on a deadline.
Packing runs on the same hourly scale as the move itself — $109/hr for a two-person crew, up to $145/hr for three — usually booked as a half-day or full day ahead of the move. Fragile items like china, glassware, and framed art get wrapped and boxed separately from the rest of the house so they don’t end up crushed under a stack of books. Whatever the home actually needs gets built into the number, not tacked on after the fact.
Selena Marsh’s crews typically handle the fragile-item packing personally; Tobias Kwan’s crews usually run the bulk household packing the day before a move.

What You’ll Pay
Two ways to book it: $109/hr for a two-mover crew, or a flat rate by bedroom count starting at $1,850 for four-bedroom-plus homes if you’d rather lock in a total up front
Truck, blankets, and dollies are built into the rate, not billed as extras: $109 for two movers, $145 for three, $179 for four, each added mover after that at $36 an hour, or a flat $1,850 to $2,500 for four-bedroom-plus homes if you’d rather skip the clock — a $125 deposit applies either way. Basic released-value coverage rides free on every job, and whatever the walkthrough turns up gets folded into that number the same day — it’s the number on your invoice, not a starting point for add-ons.
