Why Professional Packing Services Make Sense

Save Weeks of Your Life

The average Oregon City household takes 3-5 weeks to pack completely when doing it themselves. Between work, family obligations, and normal life responsibilities, finding time to pack properly is nearly impossible. Our professional packing team completes what would take you weeks in just hours or days, freeing you to handle the countless other tasks that come with relocating.

Prevent Damage to Valuable Belongings

Improper packing is the leading cause of moving damage. Items shift during transport, boxes collapse under weight, and fragile possessions break when not cushioned correctly. Our packers are trained in techniques that protect your belongings—from the proper way to wrap stemware to how to pack electronics with adequate cushioning. We know which items need extra protection, how to distribute weight properly, and which packing materials work best for different objects.

Professional-Grade Packing Materials

Professional movers have access to superior packing materials that aren’t available at retail stores. Our inventory includes heavy-duty moving boxes in specialized sizes, professional-grade packing paper (not newspaper that leaves ink), bubble wrap in various thicknesses, furniture blankets, mattress covers, wardrobe boxes with metal hanging bars, dish pack boxes with extra reinforcement, and custom crating for unusually shaped or highly valuable items.

The quality difference is significant. Our boxes won’t collapse when stacked in a moving truck. Our packing paper provides superior cushioning without adding unnecessary weight. Our wardrobe boxes keep clothes wrinkle-free and protected.

Reduce Moving Day Stress and Chaos

Imagine moving day arriving with everything already packed, labeled, and organized. No last-minute scrambling to finish that one closet. No throwing random items into garbage bags. No wondering if you packed enough tape. Just a calm, organized transition from your current Oregon City home to your new one.

Insurance and Accountability

When professionals pack your belongings, there’s clear accountability if something breaks. Our packing services come with proper insurance coverage and documentation. We inventory everything we pack, note the condition of items, and take responsibility for proper packing techniques. This protection simply doesn’t exist when you pack yourself—even if professional movers transport your boxes.

Our Comprehensive Packing Services

Partial Packing Services

Many Oregon City residents prefer to pack some items themselves while leaving challenging rooms or fragile possessions to the professionals. Our partial packing service gives you complete flexibility to choose exactly what we pack.

Common Partial Packing Scenarios:

Kitchen-Only Packing: Kitchens are the most difficult room to pack properly. Dishes, glassware, small appliances, and pantry items require specific techniques and materials. We pack your entire kitchen while you handle bedrooms, closets, and other easier spaces.

Fragile Items Only: We pack your china collection, artwork, mirrors, lamps, electronics, and other breakables while you pack books, linens, and non-fragile items.

Select Rooms: Choose specific rooms for professional packing. Popular combinations include kitchen + master bedroom, or dining room + home office, or any combination that fits your needs.

Last-Minute Help: Started packing yourself but running out of time? We’ll finish what you’ve started, completing remaining rooms and ensuring everything is move-ready.

Unpacking Services

Moving into your new Oregon City home shouldn’t mean living out of boxes for months. Our unpacking services get you settled quickly and comfortably.

Complete Unpacking Service:

• Unpack all boxes in designated rooms
• Place items on shelves, in cabinets, and in drawers
• Make beds with your linens
• Hang clothes in closets
• Arrange kitchen cabinets and pantry
• Remove and dispose of all packing materials
• Flatten and remove boxes from your home
• Basic furniture arrangement assistance

Partial Unpacking: Just like partial packing, you can choose which rooms we unpack. Many clients have us unpack the kitchen and bathrooms (immediate necessities) while they handle bedrooms and personal spaces at their leisure.

Specialty Packing Services

Some items require expertise beyond standard packing techniques. Our specialty packing services ensure your most valuable and challenging possessions receive appropriate care.

Fine Art and Antiques: Custom crating, acid-free materials, climate considerations, and specialized handling for valuable pieces including paintings, sculptures, and antique furniture.

Piano Packing and Crating: Uprights, baby grands, and full-size grand pianos require specific packing, padding, and sometimes custom crating for safe transport.

Room-by-Room Packing Expertise

Kitchen Packing

Kitchens contain fragile items, odd shapes, and heavy pieces that make them the most challenging room to pack. Our systematic approach ensures everything arrives intact:

Dishes and Glassware: Each piece wrapped individually in packing paper, then bundled together in cell packs or divided boxes. Heaviest items on bottom, progressively lighter items toward top.

Pots and Pans: Nested together with paper between pieces to prevent scratching. Lids wrapped separately or placed on top with cushioning.

Small Appliances: Toasters, blenders, coffee makers wrapped in bubble wrap or paper, then boxed with adequate cushioning.

Pantry Items: Boxed goods, canned items, and dry goods packed together. We check expiration dates and help you decide what’s worth moving versus replacing.

Sharp Objects: Knives and other sharp items wrapped with special attention to safety, then clearly labeled.

Bedroom Packing

Hanging Clothes: Transferred directly from your closet into wardrobe boxes still on hangers—no folding, no wrinkles, no time wasted.

Folded Clothes: Drawer contents can often stay in dressers if they’re not too heavy, or we pack clothing in boxes with tissue paper to minimize wrinkling.

Bedding and Linens: Packed in large boxes or space-saver bags to maximize efficiency.

Personal Items: Jewelry, accessories, and valuables receive special attention and can be designated as high-value items on your inventory.

Living Room and Common Areas

Upholstered Furniture: Protected with furniture blankets or shrink wrap to prevent stains and damage during the move.

Electronics and Entertainment Systems: TVs wrapped in bubble wrap or placed in original boxes (we can recreate boxes if originals aren’t available). Gaming systems, sound bars, and components properly packed with cable management.

Books: Packed in small boxes (books are heavy!) with spines alternating for weight distribution. Valuable or antique books wrapped individually.

Decorative Items: Vases, sculptures, and display pieces wrapped individually with plenty of cushioning.

Home Office Packing

Computer Equipment: Monitors, towers, laptops, and peripherals packed with anti-static materials. We can photograph cable configurations for easier reconnection.

Important Documents: Files and paperwork packed separately in clearly labeled boxes that you can keep with you during the move if desired.

Office Furniture: Desks disassembled if necessary, with hardware bagged and labeled.

Garage, Basement, and Attic Packing

These spaces often contain items you’ve forgotten about, haven’t used in years, and might not want to move. We help you identify what’s worth packing, safely dispose of hazardous materials (we don’t pack these), and organize everything else into clearly labeled boxes.
