Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Sausalito’s Preferred Packing Services Company
We’ve been in business since 2006, and our crews have packed homes in Sausalito for years. We know that a standard packing approach fails here. The floating-home community along Richardson Bay and the hillside construction above Bridgeway demand specific techniques, materials, and crew sizing that inland movers rarely encounter.
Our customers in Sausalito come back to us because we put the quote in writing after a real survey of their home. The number doesn’t move. Not on the ramp, not at delivery. That’s the Move-Right Guarantee. We’re also the company that answers the phone at 10 PM when you realize your closing moved up and you need packers tomorrow - a live person, every time, 24/7.
Every crew we send is on our own payroll, background-checked, and in uniform. No day labor sourced from a text message. One crew, start to finish. And everything we pack is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise - if something isn’t right after delivery, one call brings a crew or a check. Not a claim form that disappears.
We garage our fully stocked branded trucks locally, which means we can reach Sausalito from our nearby facilities without the scheduling delays that plague companies hauling equipment from across the Bay. On time, in the window we gave you - and we call before we knock.
Our Packing Services in Sausalito
Full Packing Service
A full pack in Sausalito means we handle everything - kitchenware, closets, garage, the works. For floating homes off Gate 5 Road, we stage in small batches and use compact, durable containers that won’t collapse on wet gangplanks. For hillside homes with switchback driveways too narrow for a full-size truck, we pack with the carry in mind - nothing too bulky for a two-person haul up exterior stairs. Our Packing Services team surveys your home first, then gives you a binding number. Typical full packs in Sausalito run $300-$1,600.
Partial Packing
Many Sausalito customers hire us for the hard stuff - kitchens, artwork, electronics - while handling books and clothing themselves. We don’t mind. We’ll pack what you point to, and we’ll do it with the same materials and care we’d use on our own belongings. Partial packs are common in the 1940s-1970s hillside homes where certain rooms are accessible only by foot paths; we focus our effort where the access is worst and the items are most fragile.
Unpacking Service
Unpacking in Sausalito often means working around tight floor plans - low overhead clearance in floating homes, or rooms carved into steep slopes with odd angles. Our crews unpack, place furniture where you want it, and haul away all packing debris. You won’t be tripping over Uline boxes for weeks. We recently unpacked a hillside home near Corte Madera Avenue where the staircase landing was barely three feet square; we staged boxes room by room and cleared each before moving to the next.
Fragile & Art Packing
This is where Sausalito’s salt air becomes critical. Standard wrapping traps moisture against surfaces, and morning fog off the Golden Gate keeps everything damp until noon. We use breathable, waterproof materials and sealed crating for high-value pieces. Our crew packed a floating home at Waldo Point Harbor where the client’s antique china needed custom crating to survive the damp, salty air and the jostle of a hand-carry down the gangplank. We used corrosion-resistant hardware and sealed every crate with marine-grade tape, ensuring the contents stayed dry and secure despite the morning fog. Full-value protection applies to everything we pack.
Custom Crating
Some items won’t fit in a standard box, and some journeys in Sausalito are too rough for standard protection. We build crates on-site for oversized artwork, antiques, and electronics that need to survive a carry down a steep hillside staircase or across a bobbing dock. Custom crating in Sausalito runs $300-$1,600 depending on dimensions and materials. We use marine-grade fasteners and sealants where salt air is a factor.
Packing Supplies & Boxes
We stock and deliver professional-grade packing supplies to Sausalito - boxes, tape, bubble wrap, paper, and specialty containers. Our boxes are rated for moisture resistance, which matters when you’re packing in a garage that opens to salt air or staging on a dock where fog rolls in mid-morning. Packing supplies and boxes for a typical Sausalito home run $300-$1,600. We deliver ahead of your pack date so you can start on non-fragiles if you want.
Common Packing Problems We See in Sausalito Homes
- Standard cardboard boxes absorb moisture from the fog, weakening the bottoms and causing collapse during carries down wet gangplanks. We use moisture-resistant boxes and reinforce bottoms with extra tape for any Sausalito job near the water.
- Waterproof wrapping gets skipped on furniture and electronics, leading to salt-air damage before items even reach the truck. Our crews wrap everything in breathable, water-resistant materials as standard practice in 94965 and 94966.
- Heavy items get packed in large boxes that won’t fit through narrow stairways or along bobbing docks, forcing risky re-packing on site. We size boxes for the path, not just the contents - a lesson learned from years of working Gate 5 Road and the hillside lanes above Bridgeway.
- Underestimating crew size for floating-home moves. A single misstep with a heavy piece on a narrow gangplank can send it - or a crew member - into the bay. Experienced local crews quote these jobs by the hour with a minimum crew of four, not by weight like a standard residential move.
