Packing and unpacking services in the Treasure Valley
Full or partial packing with proper materials, and unpacking that gets your kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms working first. Done by the same crew that moves you.
Don't face all those boxes by yourself
Moving into a new home in Eagle, downsizing to a condo in Boise, or buying acreage in Canyon County: whatever the move, packing is the part that eats the most time. We take it off your plate.
Our crews pack with proper boxes, paper and padding, and they pack with the next step in mind. Every box is labeled by room, so it lands in the right place at the new house.
Pick how much help you want
- Full packing. We pack the whole home, room by room.
- Partial packing. Just the kitchen, the fragile things, or the rooms you'd rather not touch.
- Unpacking. Boxes emptied and put in the right rooms, furniture set up, packing materials gone.
What we take extra care with
Dishes and glassware, electronics and large-screen TVs, artwork, mirrors, antiques, heirlooms and the sentimental things you can't replace. These get extra padding and their own boxes. Point out anything especially valuable during the walkthrough and we'll plan around it.
Unpacking: get the house working first
We start with the rooms you need on night one: bedrooms, bathrooms and the kitchen. Then the living room, office, playroom and garage. We put furniture back together, take away the empty boxes, bubble wrap, paper and tape, and clean up any mess we made.

Excellent company. Eric went out of his way to make sure my move was smooth and as stress-free as possible. Everything was carefully handled and wrapped, all arrived in perfect condition and on time.
Eric was able to get me moved 2 days after I called him. He sent me 4 young men that worked so hard . Was so respectful, to me and my old things that I couldn't part with. I was impressed beyond my expectations. Can't thank you enough Eric for the delightful young men you sent to get me moved. Price was excellent . Thank you so much. God bless you and your boys and thank you for your service in military.
Eric and his team were excellent to work with and very reasonably priced. We would recommend them to anyone moving to Idaho especially from another state. They were able to accommodate our changing schedule, loaded and delivered our things quickly without any damage. Thanks!!!
