Why Milestone Moving Co. Is St. Marys’s Preferred Packing Services Company
We’ve built our reputation in St. Marys on one principle: the quote we write down is the price you pay. After a real in-person or video survey of your 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. For Navy families rotating through Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay on 2-3 year orders, that certainty matters. The last thing a PCS move needs is a surprise charge while you’re juggling housing office paperwork and school transfers.
Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and on Milestone’s own payroll - never day labor sourced from a text message. They train to headquarters standards, and they show up in the window we gave you. We call before we knock.
Every job we pack is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If anything we packed or moved isn’t right within 90 days of delivery, one call brings a crew or a check. Not a subcontractor. Not a claim form that disappears into a third-party system. A live person answers that call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We also know St. Marys’s streets. The 1990s-2000s subdivisions built for Kings Bay families have two-car garages but cul-de-sacs that challenge large trucks. Historic downtown homes on narrow lots have no garages at all, with steep porch steps that force hand-carrying without dolly access. We plan for both before we arrive.
Our Packing Services in St. Marys
Full Packing Service
Our Full Packing Service in St. Marys covers every room, every drawer, every item that isn’t nailed down. For the Navy families we serve off Colerain Avenue and throughout the Kings Bay commuter zone, this means color-coded, room-specific cartons that let the unpacking crew at your next duty station work fast and accurately. We bring all materials - no last-minute runs to the hardware store. A typical full-home pack in St. Marys runs $300-$1,600 depending on square footage and contents. Current offer: $250 off moves over $2,500, plus free wardrobe boxes on every full-service move.
Partial Packing
Some St. Marys customers pack the easy rooms themselves and hire us for the rest. Kitchens. China cabinets. Home offices with files that can’t be lost. We scope the job during your free estimate and quote only what you need us to handle. The price stays binding. You pay for precision, not padding.
Unpacking Service
Our Unpacking Service runs $300-$1,600 in the St. Marys market and is built for families who need to be functional fast. For Navy PCS moves especially, this can mean arriving at a new post and sleeping in your own bed that night, not living out of boxes for weeks. We break down cartons, remove packing debris, and place items where you direct. The service pairs with our full packing option for door-to-door continuity - one crew’s color-coding system follows your shipment to the next home.
Fragile & Art Packing
Fragile & Art Packing in St. Marys demands extra attention during high-humidity months. We charge $300-$1,600 for this service, which includes custom crating for grandfather clocks, framed art, mirrors, and heirloom china. For a Navy family we packed on Colerain Avenue last June, we built custom crates for three generations of porcelain that had survived multiple PCS moves. The humidity that day hit 94%. We sealed each crate with desiccant packs and vapor-barrier wrap. That shipment arrived at Norfolk with zero condensation damage.
We also handle Custom Crating for oversized or irregular items, and we stock Packing Supplies & Boxes for St. Marys customers who want professional-grade materials for a DIY pack. Our cartons are rated for coastal humidity, not the dry-climate cardboard you’ll find at Budget Truck Rental or U-Pack locations.
Trusted Brands We Service in St. Marys
Our crews pack and protect items from every major manufacturer, and we stock supplies from Uline and Milwaukee for jobs requiring specialized protection. For St. Marys customers with tool collections, workshop equipment, or contractor-grade gear heading to a new posting, we source the right crates and cushioning locally to avoid delays. No waiting on interstate freight when your pack-out date is fixed by the housing office.
Common Packing Problems We See in St. Marys Homes
- Underestimating the June-July PCS surge. St. Marys’s moving capacity strains to its limit when Navy orders drop. Families who call in May often find crews booked solid. We recommend securing your pack date 8-12 weeks ahead for summer moves.
- Standard boxes in high-humidity months. Coastal Camden County’s 90°F+ heat with near-saturation moisture from June through September can warp hardwood furniture and short-circuit electronics in unventilated trucks. We use desiccant packs and sealed vapor barriers for humidity-sensitive items.
- Historic downtown homes with no garage access. Antebellum and early-20th-century wood-frame homes on narrow lots force packers to hand-carry down steep porch steps. We plan manpower and equipment accordingly, never assuming dolly access.
- Soft-shoulder roads after rain. Proximity to tidal marshes means some St. Marys neighborhoods have unpaved access that can bog down heavy vehicles. We scout access during your estimate and bring smaller shuttle trucks when needed.

What moves the needle within these ranges? Home size is the biggest factor - a 1,200-square-foot ranch near Kings Bay packs faster than a 3,500-square-foot home in one of the larger Colerain Avenue subdivisions. Fragility density matters too: a house full of art, instruments, and collectibles takes more custom crating than a home with standard furnishings. Access conditions - steep steps, soft shoulders, tight cul-de-sacs - can add labor hours. We account for all of this during your free in-home or video estimate, then write the number down. It doesn’t move.
Every full-service pack includes free wardrobe boxes. Moves over $2,500 qualify for $250 off. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule your survey.

FAQs - Packing Services in St. Marys
We use color-coded, room-specific cartons and pre-staged custom crating to compress the pack timeline by 40-50% for St. Marys PCS moves. Our crew chief coordinates directly with the housing office and the incoming family’s mover to lock the driveway schedule. We packed a full household for a Navy family moving out of a 2005-built home off Colerain Avenue during a June PCS surge. Because the incoming family was scheduled for the same afternoon, our team used color-coded, room-specific cartons and custom crating for the family’s heirloom china, finishing in half the usual time so the truck could clear the driveway by 11 a.m. - a schedule we only see in St. Marys. Call (855) 890-3455 to book a same-day turnaround pack.
We use desiccant packs inside sealed vapor-barrier wrap for all electronics, instruments, and hardwood furniture during June through September in St. Marys.

We also avoid loading humidity-sensitive items in unventilated truck pockets. For a free assessment of what your specific items need, call (855) 890-3455.

Last-minute bookings in peak season often face scheduling conflicts or higher rates from less accountable operators. We reserve capacity for confirmed PCS dates and hold your slot with a deposit. Call (855) 890-3455 to lock your date.
