We’ve been packing and moving families in San Lorenzo’s Bohannon tract since 2006. The compact 900-1,100 sq ft homes, narrow driveways, and HOA-enforced CC&Rs here create packing challenges you won’t find in neighboring Hayward or San Leandro. Our crews know to stage boxes on dollies inside the garage, not on the street, because a full-size van blocks traffic and draws complaints from neighbors who know the deed restrictions by heart.

Why Milestone Moving Co. Is San Lorenzo’s Preferred Packing Services Company
We’ve built our reputation in Alameda County on one principle: the price we quote is the price you pay. After a real in-person or video survey of your San Lorenzo home, we give you a binding written quote through our Move-Right Guarantee. That number does not rise on move day, on the ramp, or at delivery. No exceptions.
Our San Lorenzo customers return because we solve problems specific to this ZIP. The salt air off San Francisco Bay corrodes garage door hardware years faster than inland - springs seize, rollers jam, hinges rust through. We’ve packed homes on Via Barcelona, Hesperian Boulevard, and throughout the Village where a stuck garage door mid-move traps boxes inside and blocks the only usable staging area. Our crews carry coated springs and stainless hardware to free those doors fast, then load from inside the garage to keep your driveway clear.
Every packer on your job is background-checked, in a Milestone uniform, and on our payroll. Never day labor sourced from a text message. One crew, start to finish. And a live person answers our phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - before your move, during, and if something isn’t right 90 days after delivery.
Proudly serving local communities for over 20 years.
Our Packing Services Services in San Lorenzo
Full Packing Service
We pack every room, every drawer, every cabinet. In San Lorenzo’s Bohannon homes, this means working around the low ceilings and tight corners that make standard packing workflows impractical. Our crew brings Uline boxes sized for narrow hallways, labels everything by room, and stages on dollies inside your garage to avoid HOA complaints. A typical full pack in San Lorenzo runs $300-$1,600 depending on square footage and contents.
Partial Packing
You handle the easy rooms; we tackle the kitchen, the garage, or whatever overwhelms you. Many San Lorenzo customers choose partial packing for the kitchen alone - those original tract kitchens are compact, with limited counter space for sorting and wrapping. We bring the supplies and the technique to pack efficiently in tight quarters.
Unpacking Service
We don’t just drop boxes and leave. Our unpacking crew places items where you want them, breaks down packing materials, and clears the debris same day. In San Lorenzo’s small lots, this matters - you can’t leave cardboard stacks on the curb for pickup without violating CC&Rs. We haul it all.
Fragile & Art Packing
San Lorenzo’s damp winters and salt air demand specific protection for delicate items. We use acid-free paper, custom foam inserts, and double-walled construction for artwork and heirlooms. A dedicated fragile pack in San Lorenzo typically falls within our $300-$1,600 range depending on volume and specialty materials needed.
Custom Crating
Oversized mirrors, antique furniture, or equipment that won’t survive standard boxing - we build on-site wooden crates to fit. In Bohannon homes with 6-foot front doors and narrow interior passages, we sometimes crate items in the room where they sit, then maneuver the crate through windows or disassemble it at the destination.
Packing Supplies & Boxes
We stock Milwaukee tape guns, Uline corrugated cartons in non-standard sizes for San Lorenzo’s tight spaces, and moisture-resistant wrapping for winter moves. Buy only what you need, or we’ll supply everything for your full-service pack. Free wardrobe boxes included on every full-service move.
Trusted Brands We Service in San Lorenzo
We pack and protect items from every major manufacturer, and we stock supplies from Uline, Milwaukee, and Ryder for San Lorenzo jobs. Our trucks carry coated springs and stainless hardware for the garage-door corrosion issues we see repeatedly in this ZIP. Fast turnaround on specialty materials means we don’t delay your move waiting for crates or custom foam.
Common Packing Services Problems We See in San Lorenzo Homes
- Corroded garage door springs trap boxes mid-move. The salt air off the bay attacks springs and rollers first. We’ve seen doors jam completely on Hesperian Boulevard homes, blocking the only staging area in a 900 sq ft house. Our crew carries replacement hardware to free the door and keep the pack on schedule.
- Winter drizzle soaks boxes left on narrow driveways. November through March, San Lorenzo gets wet, persistent drizzle. Boxes staged outside on a Bohannon tract driveway absorb moisture fast. We load from inside the garage, using dollies to bridge the gap between house and street-parked truck.
- Modern furniture won’t clear 1950s doorways. That sectional you bought at a big-box store? The frame probably won’t angle through a Bohannon home’s 28-inch bedroom door or 6-foot front entry. We measure first, disassemble when needed, and pad-wrap components individually.
- HOA complaints shut down street staging. The San Lorenzo Village Homes Association enforces CC&Rs aggressively. A Ryder truck parked curbside for more than a few hours draws attention. We coordinate load-in timing, keep the driveway clear, and communicate with neighbors when necessary.

FAQs - Packing Services in San Lorenzo
Corrosion happens faster here than inland. Metal hardware on stored items rusts, cardboard absorbs airborne salt and weakens, and garage-stored electronics corrode at contact points. We wrap metal components in vapor-barrier film, use double-walled boxes for long-term garage storage, and recommend moving sensitive electronics inside the main house before packing day. For a full assessment of your garage contents, call (855) 890-3455 - estimates are free.
No - and trying to will likely draw an HOA complaint. The San Lorenzo Village Homes Association enforces CC&Rs against large commercial vehicles on residential streets. Our crews park on the nearest through street and use dollies to stage boxes inside your garage, keeping your driveway clear and your neighbors satisfied. We’ve packed dozens of Bohannon tract homes this way. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll walk through the logistics for your specific street.
Moisture-resistant materials: plastic bins for documents and textiles, foam wrap instead of newsprint for items that can’t tolerate humidity, and desiccant packets inside sealed boxes. We stock these supplies and bring them on every November-through-March San Lorenzo job. Standard cardboard alone will soften in persistent drizzle. For a supply list tailored to your move date, call (855) 890-3455.
Sometimes no. Modern furniture is built larger than 1950s doorframes. We measure first - door width, hallway clearance, ceiling height at stair turns. If your piece won’t clear, we disassemble on-site, pad-wrap components, and reassemble at destination. This is standard on our full-service packs. Schedule a free survey at (855) 890-3455 and we’ll flag potential clearance issues before move day.
Tipping is at your discretion and follows the same customs as any local move. San Lorenzo’s tight quarters and garage-staging workflow can make the job more physically demanding - multiple dolly trips, careful maneuvering, constant communication - but our crews are trained for this. If you choose to tip, cash at the end of the job is typical. The binding quote we give you includes all labor costs; nothing is expected beyond that. Questions about your specific job? Call (855) 890-3455.
