We know the long driveways that ice over in January, the two-story foyers that complicate furniture moves, and the HOA property managers who need advance notice before a truck rolls through the gate. Dale Whitmore built Milestone Moving Co. in 2006 on the principle that a binding written quote and a crew in uniform beats a lowball estimate and a mystery team every time.

Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Powell’s Preferred Packing Services Company
Powell isn’t a generic suburb. It’s one of Ohio’s wealthiest and fastest-growing communities, built almost entirely of large upscale colonials and craftsman homes in HOA-governed planned communities developed from the 1990s through the 2010s. The dense concentration of corporate relocations tied to the US-23 business corridor feeding Columbus means we routinely handle premium households with grand two-story foyer entries, oversized hardwood staircases, and high-value furnishings. This workload profile sets Powell apart from older, smaller-home Columbus-area suburbs, and it’s why we’ve trained our crews specifically for the scale and finish quality these homes demand.
Our reputation here is built on showing up in the window we promised, with background-checked movers in Milestone uniforms, not day labor sourced from a text message. The 90-Day Done Right Promise means if anything we packed isn’t right after delivery, one call brings a crew or a check. No subcontractor. No claim form that disappears into a voicemail box. Dale Whitmore still reviews every binding quote personally, and a live person answers our phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including at the claims desk.
Response time to Powell is typically same-day for estimates and next-day for crew dispatch when scheduling permits. We’re familiar with the specific access rules at communities like those along Liberty Road and the US-23 corridor, where HOA managers often restrict moving-truck access to weekday daytime hours and require 48-72 hours advance notice. We coordinate that clearance ourselves so you don’t face a rescheduled move.
Our Packing Services in Powell
Full Packing Service
A full pack in Powell means our crew handles every room, every drawer, every item in your 3,000-5,000 square foot home from kitchen to attic. We bring all supplies, including free wardrobe boxes on every full-service move, and we pad and wrap furniture on-site before it touches the truck. For the oversized pieces common in Powell’s newer colonials, disassembly and reassembly is included. The price we quote after our in-home or video survey is the price you pay. No increase on pack day, on the ramp, or at delivery. That’s the Move-Right Guarantee.
Partial Packing
Some Powell customers pack the easy rooms themselves and hire us for the heavy lifting: kitchens, garages, home offices with electronics, or that formal dining room with the crystal. We’ll work from your priority list. A partial pack typically falls in the lower half of our $300-$1,600 range depending on room count and fragility density. We recently packed a custom colonial off Liberty Road with a two-story foyer and a grand staircase. Our team used custom crating for a chandelier and fine art, and wrapped oversized furniture with extra padding to protect it from the long, exposed entryway during a February move, ensuring a seamless transition for a family relocating to the area.
Unpacking Service
Our unpacking crew doesn’t just drop boxes in rooms. We place furniture where you want it, unpack kitchenware into cabinets, break down and remove all packing materials, and leave your new Powell home move-in ready. For corporate relocations along the US-23 corridor, where families often arrive with limited time to settle before starting new positions, this service pays for itself in saved evenings and weekends. The crew that unpacks is the same crew that packed, so they know which box holds the coffee maker and which one needs gentle handling.
Fragile & Art Packing
Powell’s high-end homes contain high-end contents. Custom chandeliers, original art, antique furniture, wine collections. Our fragile and art packing service uses museum-quality materials and techniques: acid-free paper, custom foam inserts, double-walled boxes for ceramics, and specialized crates for oversized or irregular pieces. Full-value protection applies to everything we pack. If we handle it, we stand behind it. For pieces too valuable for standard boxing, we build custom crating on-site or at our facility.
Custom Crating
Some items won’t fit in a standard box no matter how creative you get. Grandfather clocks, oversized mirrors, marble tabletops, chandeliers with multiple tiers. Our custom crating service measures, designs, and builds protective housings from plywood and foam specifically for your piece. The crate travels with your shipment and can be reused for storage or future moves. For Powell’s market, where custom finishes and imported furnishings are common, this service prevents the kind of damage that standard packing simply can’t address.
Trusted Brands We Use in Powell
We stock professional-grade packing materials from Uline and source specialized supplies through Milwaukee tool distributors for custom builds and crate assembly. For customers coordinating their own rental truck through Budget Truck Rental or U-Pack, we can pack to their specifications and load for safe transit. Our trucks carry fully stocked inventories of boxes, tape, bubble wrap, furniture pads, and corner protectors, so we’re never waiting on a supply run while the clock runs. Every crew rolls with what they need for a full day of premium packing.
Common Packing Problems We See in Powell Homes
- HOA notice failures. Packing crews that don’t coordinate with HOA property managers risk rescheduled moves if the 48-72 hour notice rule is missed. We handle this clearance as standard practice.
- Underestimated fragile volume. The high-end furnishings common in Powell’s large homes often surprise customers with their packing complexity. Inadequate supplies and rushed packing cause damage in transit. We survey first, then quote for the actual scope.
- Floor and driveway damage from weather. Failing to protect floors from spring thaw mud and ice on long driveways can result in slips and damage to the home’s interior. Our crews lay protection before the first box enters.
- Oversized furniture disassembly gaps. Packing without accounting for the need to disassemble and reassemble oversized furniture can leave movers struggling with two-story foyer entries. We include this in every full-service plan.

FAQs - Packing Services in Powell
Yes, most Powell HOA-governed communities require 48-72 hours advance notice and restrict moving-truck access to weekday daytime hours. We coordinate directly with your property manager to secure clearance before our crew arrives, preventing the rescheduling that catches last-minute corporate relocations off guard. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll handle the HOA communication as part of your service plan.
We use custom crating with foam inserts and shock-absorbing materials, then pad and wrap the crate for transport. For the two-story foyer entries common in Powell’s upscale colonials, we also protect floors and staircases with masonite and carpet shields before removal begins. Full-value coverage applies to everything we pack. Call (855) 890-3455 for a free estimate on specialty item packing.
We use heavy-duty Uline boxes rated for moisture resistance, plastic totes for garage and basement items, and extra floor protection including masonite runners and carpet shields for mud and ice tracked in from long subdivision driveways. Our crews lay protection before unloading supplies and maintain it throughout the pack. These materials are included in our service, not billed separately.
Yes, our unpacking service places furniture, unpacks boxes into cabinets and closets, removes all packing materials, and leaves your home move-in ready. The same crew that packed your belongings handles the unpack, so they know which items need priority placement and which boxes require gentle handling. This service is especially valuable for corporate relocations along the US-23 corridor with tight settlement timelines.
Book at least one week ahead for standard scheduling, and two weeks ahead during peak season (May through August). If your Powell HOA requires 48-72 hours notice for truck access, we need your booking even earlier to coordinate property manager clearance. Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible, but HOA restrictions make advance planning the safer choice. Call (855) 890-3455 to check availability and lock in your binding quote.
