Packing & Unpacking

Full / Partial Pack and Move Service
For San Francisco and the Bay Area, CA

Whether you’re planning a small move in the Bay Area or a long-distance relocation between San Francisco, CA and Los Angeles, CA, our professional team makes packing and unpacking simple and stress-free. As trusted long-distance movers and experienced Los Angeles to San Francisco moving service providers, we handle your belongings with care at every stage of the process. We offer both full pack and move services and partial pack and move services, as well as complete unpacking services to fit your needs and schedule.

Full Packing & Loading Services

Our full packing service is perfect if you want professionals to handle everything from start to finish. If you enlist a full pack and move service, boxes are the first order of business. The crew will box all your smaller, loose items into 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 cubic-foot-sized boxes. Fragile items such as fine china, kitchen breakables, and other delicate objects are boxed in double corrugated cardboard boxes and stuffed with packing paper. Furniture is carefully wrapped in thick, padded moving blankets and secured with tape and shrink wrap. Glass panes and other sensitive surfaces are reinforced with one to several layers of cardboard over the blanket to ensure durability. Any objects with moving parts are secured or disassembled if need be, as well as any objects too big to move safely through the premises. Whether you're moving between San Francisco and Los Angeles or moving within the Bay Area, our full pack and move services will ensure all of your items get where they need to be safe and sound.

Partial Packing & Loading Services

Not ready for full packing? Our partial packing service gives you professional help exactly where you need it. Whether you want just your furniture wrapped and prepared, assistance with fragile items like china, glassware, and artwork, or extra care for bulky, awkward pieces or rooms that need the most attention, we’ve got you covered. You decide what our long-distance movers will pack, and handle the rest yourself. This service is best for saving time and controlling costs while still ensuring your most valuable belongings are properly protected.

Complete Unpacking Services

This is not to be confused with standard unloading procedures. When you choose unpacking services, our professional long-distance movers will carefully place and install all furniture exactly as it was set up when we picked it up, then remove our moving blankets. Any items that were disassembled during the move will be fully reassembled in your new home.


Complete unpacking means we open every box and place each item where it belongs, so you can settle in immediately without the stress of days or weeks of unpacking. For many customers, especially after a long-distance move, having their entire home fully relocated and set up within a single day is the only option for them.


Because complete unpacking requires additional time and coordination, this service must be discussed and scheduled in advance to avoid conflicts on your moving date.

Details About Our Packing Process

With years of hands-on experience, our long-distance movers know exactly how to pack and protect every item so nothing is broken, dented, or scratched from pickup to final delivery. We use professional packing materials and proven techniques to keep your belongings fully protected, whether you’re planning a small move within the Bay Area or a long-distance move with our trusted Bay Area to Los Angeles movers.

Our packing process includes:

  • Furniture protection: All furniture is wrapped in thick, padded moving blankets, then secured with tape and shrink wrap to prevent shifting, scratches, and damage.
  • Glass & fragile surface reinforcement: Glass panels, mirrors, and other delicate surfaces are protected with single or multiple layers of reinforced cardboard for added durability during transport. Other fragile antiques and delicate items are packed using a specialized method called shielding, which layers soft padding with rigid protective surfaces. This technique distributes pressure evenly and keeps items secured.
  • Wardrobe boxes: We provide 20" wardrobe boxes to keep clothing clean, wrinkle-free, and protected. These boxes are also great for consolidating loose or oversized items that are difficult to stack.
  • Disassembly of large items: If furniture or heavy items can be safely disassembled, our team will take them apart and wrap each piece individually to ensure maximum protection.
  • Pianos: There are many different large and heavy items unique to each move, but the one that many are particularly concerned about is a piano. We move all sizes of pianos wherever they need to be. Grand and baby grand pianos simply need to be shielded, then turned on the side to a piano dolly. Piano dollies can support massive weight without breaking, making going up or down stairs several notches easier.
