Two Flexible Packing Options — You Choose What You Need
Most moving companies push one-size-fits-all full packing. We believe you should only pay for what actually saves you time and stress.
Full-Service Packing
We bring all materials, pack every room, load the truck, and at the new home we unpack and place everything. You simply point and we handle the rest. Ideal for busy professionals, retirees, and families who want zero stress.
Labor-Only Packing Help
You supply boxes and materials. Our experienced packers work alongside you or independently on the rooms you choose. Perfect when you want to save on materials but still get professional speed and protection on fragile or heavy items.
Items You Should Transport Yourself
For your protection and peace of mind, we recommend that you personally pack and keep the following items with you on moving day rather than having our team pack them:
- All prescription and over-the-counter medications
- Jewelry, cash, and other high-value items
- Important personal documents (Social Security cards, passports, birth certificates, financial records, legal documents, etc.)
- House keys, car keys, and safe deposit box keys
- Hearing aids, glasses, and other medical devices
- Personal overnight essentials and toiletries
It is the customer’s responsibility to pack their own small luggage or personal bag with any items they will need immediately. We do not pack overnight bags or daily essentials boxes for customers.
If you have any questions about what should stay with you, please let us know when we do your estimate.
Our Detailed Packing & Unpacking Process
This is exactly how we work on every job in Southwest Florida. No shortcuts.
Detailed Inventory & Assessment
We walk your current home room by room. We identify fragile items, artwork, electronics, kitchenware, and anything that needs special crating. We ask about your new home layout so unpacking is efficient from minute one.
Right Materials for Florida Conditions
Southwest Florida humidity can damage books, photos, and wood furniture. We use only moisture-resistant boxes, acid-free tissue for delicate items, and proper ventilation in crates. We never use cheap thin boxes that collapse in humid garages.
Layered Protection & Clear Labeling
Every dish is wrapped individually. Furniture receives multiple layers of blankets and stretch wrap. Each box gets a detailed label: room destination + contents + priority level. Color-coded stickers make unpacking at the new house nearly automatic.
Strategic Loading
Packed boxes are loaded last-on, first-off. Heavy boxes stay on the truck floor. We protect every doorway, floor, and wall in both residences with professional floor runners and corner guards.
Unpacking & Exact Placement
This is where we stand out. We do not just drop boxes. We unpack room by room in your chosen order — usually kitchen and bathrooms first so you can function immediately. Every item is placed exactly where you tell us: dishes in specific cabinets, clothes hung in closets, books on shelves.
Same-Day Debris Removal
All empty boxes, packing paper, and materials are broken down and removed the same day. You will not be left with a mountain of cardboard.
How Our Packing Pricing Works
We provide a clear written quote after assessing your home and the level of packing you need. Pricing is based on the volume of items, the time required, and any specialty materials. You’ll know the exact cost before any work begins.

Why Our Packing Stands Apart in SWFL
Owner Marshall Rapp has personally packed and unpacked thousands of homes over 15+ years. This is not a crew of day laborers following a script. We understand that your belongings carry memories, and we treat them that way.
Proper Equipment & Materials
Heavy-duty dollies, furniture blankets, custom wood crates for artwork and mirrors, wardrobe boxes, dish packs, and specialty electronics cartons. We never improvise with grocery store boxes.
Florida-Specific Expertise
We know how quickly mold can appear in humid storage or garages. Books, photographs, and wooden furniture receive extra protection. We also plan around summer afternoon storms and hurricane season windows.
Real Local Experience
Recent jobs include a full 4-bedroom home in Pelican Bay (Naples), a downsizing condo in Bonita Springs, and a family move from Golden Gate Estates to Estero with extensive china and crystal collections.
Care That Shows
Our average customer rating for packing care exceeds 9/10. We take photos of high-value setups before packing so everything can be recreated perfectly on the other end.
Real Examples from Southwest Florida
Naples – Pelican Bay Condo: A retired couple moving from a large waterfront home into a 2-bedroom condo. We packed and labeled 180+ boxes over two days, then unpacked the entire kitchen, master bedroom, and living areas in under four hours at the new location. They were able to host family for dinner the same evening.
Fort Myers – Single Family Home to Estero: Young family with three young children and a home full of toys, baby gear, and kitchen equipment. We used our labor-only option for non-fragile rooms while handling all dishes, stemware, and electronics ourselves. The parents said it was the least stressful move they had ever done.
Marco Island – Seasonal Resident: Snowbird returning north for the summer. We provided full packing of the entire home, stored a small number of climate-sensitive items in our controlled short-term holding, and handled the reverse unpack six months later.
What Our Packing Customers Say
"Marshall and his team packed our entire Naples home in two days. Every single box was labeled with the exact room and contents. When we arrived at the new house in Bonita Springs, they had the kitchen completely set up before lunch. I have never seen such organization. We will never use anyone else."
