Packing Services in New Orleans

Packing Services in New Orleans — From "Just the Kitchen" to the Whole House

Packing is the part of moving everyone underestimates. The furniture takes a day; the drawers, closets, and kitchen cabinets take a week — unless a crew that packs houses for a living does it in a morning. Our packing teams bring everything: dish packs, wardrobe boxes, TV boxes, paper pads, shrink wrap, and tape by the case.

Full Packing vs. Partial Packing

Full packing means you touch nothing. We pack every room, label every box by room and contents, and load it in an order that makes unpacking sane. Most three-bedroom homes in Metairie or Lakeview pack in four to six hours with a dedicated crew.

Partial packing is what most families actually book: we handle the kitchen, the china cabinet, the framed art, and the TVs — the stuff that breaks — and you pack the clothes and books yourself. It costs less and protects what matters most.

How Our Crews Pack Differently

• Dishes go vertical in double-walled dish packs, never flat — flat plates crack, vertical plates survive
• Glassware gets paper pads, not newsprint — New Orleans humidity makes ink transfer onto glass
• Every box is labeled twice: room on top, contents on the side, because boxes get stacked
• TVs travel in proper TV cartons with corner protection, standing up, strapped to the truck wall
• The "first night" box — sheets, chargers, coffee maker, kids’ essentials — is loaded last so it comes off first

What Packing Costs in New Orleans

Packing is hourly plus materials, and it books together with your move so the same team that packed the kitchen is the one loading it. Run the instant price tool, mention packing, and your ballpark includes it — no mystery line items on moving day.

Packing Questions We Hear Every Week

Can you pack the day before the move?

That’s exactly how we recommend it. Packing day one, moving day two — the house stays livable and moving day starts fast.

What about things you can’t pack?

Propane tanks, gasoline, open paint, and anything hazardous can’t go on the truck. We’ll flag those early so there are no surprises at the curb.

Do you unpack too?

Yes — ask for unpacking when you book. We’ll place boxes by room, unpack what you want unpacked, and haul away the empty boxes and paper.
