Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Shady Hollow’s Preferred Packing Services Company
Shady Hollow residents have been calling Milestone for over 20 years. We’re not learning your neighborhood on your dime. Our crews have packed ranch homes on the original 1970s plats and the newer two-story builds near Circle C Ranch. The difference shows in how we stage materials, how we pad door frames before carrying oversized sectionals through 32-inch openings, and how we account for shuttle time when the live-oak canopy blocks full-size truck access.
Our reviews from Shady Hollow customers consistently mention the same things: the quote matched the final bill, the crew arrived in uniform during the promised window, and someone picked up the phone when they called back three weeks later about a scratched frame. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise in action. If anything we packed or moved isn’t right, one call brings a crew or a check. No claim forms that disappear. No subcontractors.
We answer live, 24 hours a day, before your move, during your move, and after. Response time to Shady Hollow is typically same-day or next-day for estimates, with packing crews available within 24-48 hours for standard bookings. Emergency packing for last-minute moves can often be accommodated with our on-call team.
Our Packing Services in Shady Hollow
Full Packing Service
Our full packing service in Shady Hollow covers every item in your home, from kitchenware to closet contents, with materials and labor included. We price this service based on actual square footage and item count after a real survey, not a phone guess. For Shady Hollow’s typical 1,800-2,400 square foot ranch homes, full packing runs $300-$1,600. We bring Uline boxes in standard and wardrobe sizes, Milwaukee tape guns that seal under humidity, and enough crew to finish before the afternoon heat index climbs past 105°F. Every full-service move includes free wardrobe boxes.
Partial Packing
Partial packing lets you handle the easy rooms while we tackle the time-consuming or fragile areas, kitchens, garages, home offices, or that collection of cedar-elm wood art that needs more than a cardboard box. In Shady Hollow, we often see homeowners pack their own linens and books but hand us the kitchen and the garage workshop tools. The garage is its own project in this area. Many homes have detached workshops with equipment that predates modern packaging standards.
Unpacking Service
Our unpacking service gets you functional in your new home the same day or next morning. We don’t just drop boxes in rooms. We break down and remove all packing materials, place items where you direct, and leave you with a habitable space. In Shady Hollow’s older ranches with narrow hallways, this matters. There’s nowhere to stage fifty collapsed boxes while you figure out disposal. We haul them out.
Fragile & Art Packing
Fragile and art packing is where Shady Hollow’s specific conditions really matter. The heat, the shuttle transfers, the limestone-heaved walkways that make dollies unpredictable, all of it increases risk for unprotected pieces. We use double-walled Uline boxes, foam-in-place inserts for irregular shapes, and custom-built crates for high-value items. Our crews are trained to pad, brace, and load fragile items for the specific route your shipment will take, including any shuttle transfer between truck sizes.
Custom Crating
Custom crating in Shady Hollow runs $300-$1,600 depending on dimensions and interior complexity. We build on-site or in our shop for pieces that standard boxes cannot protect: oversized mirrors, antique furniture, cedar-elm sculptures, electronics with original packaging long discarded. The crate is measured to the item, lined with foam cut to its contours, and banded for lifting. For shuttle moves, we design crates that can be carried by two crew members through narrow doorways and loaded by hand when dollies won’t fit.
Packing Supplies & Boxes
We sell packing supplies direct to Shady Hollow residents who want to handle some or all of the packing themselves. Our stock includes Uline small, medium, large, and extra-large boxes, wardrobe boxes with hanging bars, dish packs with cell dividers, bubble wrap, packing paper, and tape by the case. We deliver to 78739 with minimum order. Call for current availability and pricing.
Trusted Brands We Use in Shady Hollow
Our Shady Hollow crews pack with Uline corrugated boxes rated for stacking strength in Texas heat, Milwaukee fast-charging tools for on-site crate assembly, and Ryder-maintained shuttle trucks sized for your street’s clearances. We don’t show up hoping your driveway fits our equipment. We scout first. The brands matter because the conditions here are specific. A box that holds up in climate-controlled storage may soften in a Shady Hollow garage in August. A tape seal that works in dry air may fail in trapped humidity under the canopy. We select materials for where we’re working, not for a generic warehouse.
Common Packing Problems We See in Shady Hollow Homes
- Underestimating shuttle requirements. Movers unfamiliar with Shady Hollow dispatch full-size trucks that cannot clear live-oak branches on Brodie Lane cul-de-sacs or complete tight turnarounds. The resulting repositioning adds hours and increases handling risk. We scout every route before dispatch.
- Ignoring deed-restricted moving-hour windows. The Shady Hollow community association enforces specific hours for moving activity. Packing crews that run long or start late face restricted access or fines. We build these windows into every schedule.
- Forcing oversized furniture through pre-1980 doorways. California king frames, 72-inch refrigerators, and modern sectionals frequently cannot clear 30-inch interior openings in original ranch homes. We measure during survey and plan disassembly or angle-maneuvering before move day.
- Packing for flat-city conditions. Southwest Austin’s heat-index extremes and limestone-heaved walkways create hazards that standard packing protocols don’t address. We pad for thermal expansion, brace for uneven dolly routes, and schedule around heat-illness risk windows.

FAQs - Packing Services in Shady Hollow
Yes. Low-hanging live-oak and cedar-elm branches on streets platted in the 1970s prevent full-size 26-foot trucks from accessing many homes, especially cul-de-sacs off Brodie Lane and Slaughter Lane. We routinely use 16-foot shuttle trucks to ferry packed items to the main truck, which adds time and requires packing materials sturdy enough for extra handling. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll scout your street before quoting.
The Shady Hollow deed-restricted community enforces specific moving hours that vary by section and are monitored by the association. Packing must be completed within these windows or the move risks delay or fine. We verify your specific window during booking and build our crew size and start time to finish within it. Call (855) 890-3455 with your address and we’ll confirm the exact restrictions that apply.
We measure doorways, hallways, and staircases during the free survey and disassemble frames that cannot clear 30-inch openings common in 1970s-era construction. Hardware is bagged, labeled, and packed with the frame components. Mattress bags protect upholstery from the heat and shuttle transfer. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule a survey and we’ll identify every clearance issue before move day.
Yes. We offer packing with short-term or long-term storage for homeowners renovating, staging for sale, or between closings. Items are inventoried, packed with full-value protection, and stored in our secured facility. Monthly storage runs $90-$400 depending on volume. Delivery back to Shady Hollow or onward to your next home is scheduled when you’re ready. Call (855) 890-3455 for a combined packing and storage quote.
Custom crating is recommended because Shady Hollow’s shuttle logistics and summer heat create compounded risks for fragile pieces. Every transfer between truck sizes is a handling point. Every hour past 10:00 AM in July increases thermal stress. Our crates are built to the item’s dimensions, foam-lined, and banded for safe hand-carrying through narrow doorways. The $300-$1,600 investment protects pieces that standard boxes cannot. Call (855) 890-3455 to discuss crating for your specific collection.
