University Park isn’t like other Dallas-area moves. This 2.3-square-mile enclave is one of Texas’s most affluent communities, completely surrounded by Dallas proper, with a housing stock split between original 1950s-1970s ranches and massive new-construction replacements. That split drives a relentless tear-down/rebuild cycle. Families regularly demolish their homes, move everything into 12-24 month storage, and return to 6,000-9,000 square foot custom builds on the same lot. Standard packing won’t cut it here. Items need protection engineered for warehouse months, not just a truck ride across town.

Why Milestone Moving Co. Is University Park’s Preferred Packing Services Company
We’ve packed University Park homes for over 20 years. Our crews know the narrow lots on Lovers Lane, the mature post oaks that limit truck access, and the independent University Park Police Department’s strict commercial-vehicle enforcement. One crew, start to finish - background-checked, in uniform, on our payroll. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Our Packing Services team handles the specific demands of this market: climate-safe materials for July and August moves when Dallas-area temperatures push past 105°F, custom crating for curved staircases and elevator components in new luxury builds, and coordination with University Park PD for proper truck staging permits. We’ve learned that a crew who doesn’t pre-coordinate on these tight residential streets can face mid-job fines and forced relocations - a complication virtually absent just across the city line in Dallas proper.
Every full-service pack includes our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If anything we packed 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. Live support answers 24/7, before booking, during the move, and at the claims desk.
Current offer: $250 off moves over $2,500, plus free wardrobe boxes on every full-service move and a free in-home or video estimate with your binding written quote.
Our Packing Services in University Park
Full Packing Service
A typical full pack in University Park runs $300-$1,600, scaled to your home’s contents and whether items are headed to storage or direct delivery. We pack kitchens, bedrooms, garages, and living spaces with materials rated for the duration your items will sit - critical here, where 12-24 month storage stays are common during rebuilds. Our techs inventory every box, photograph high-value items, and wrap furniture in quilted pads sealed for warehouse conditions, not just transport.
Partial Packing
Many University Park customers pack personal items themselves and hire us for the heavy, fragile, or time-consuming zones: kitchens, wine cellars, home offices with electronics, and master closets with designer pieces. We’ll quote specific rooms after a walkthrough - no guesswork, no ballooning invoice on move day. Partial packs still carry the Move-Right Guarantee: binding price, named crew, written window.
Unpacking Service
Our unpacking crews work from room-by-room floor plans you provide, placing furniture and contents exactly where specified. For families returning from long-term storage to newly completed builds, we coordinate with contractors for delivery timing and handle debris removal so you’re not living among cardboard stacks during final punch-list work.
Fragile & Art Packing
University Park’s concentration of high-value art collections, antique wood pieces, and custom millwork demands more than bubble wrap and hope. Our fragile and art packing service, priced at $300-$1,600, uses acid-free tissue, custom foam inserts, and climate-barrier materials specifically selected for Texas warehouse conditions. We document provenance, condition, and placement with photographs before items leave your home. Full-value protection applies to everything we pack - no deductible, no depreciation games.
Custom Crating
Curved staircase balustrades, elevator components, oversized chandeliers, and built-in cabinetry from demolished homes often need crating, not boxing. Our $300-$1,600 custom crating service builds ISPM-15 certified wood crates on-site or in our shop, fitted to each piece’s dimensions and fragility. We packed a 1970s ranch on Cornell Avenue for a family moving into storage during their lot’s rebuild. Our techs used custom crating for a curved staircase balustrade and wrapped a wine collection in climate-safe materials, coordinating truck staging with University Park PD to avoid parking fines on the post oak-lined street.
Packing Supplies & Boxes
We stock Uline corrugated boxes in single-wall, double-wall, and dish-barrel configurations, plus Milwaukee tape dispensers and Ryder-grade furniture pads for purchase if you’re handling partial DIY packing. Same-day pickup available for University Park residents who need materials fast.
Trusted Brands We Use in University Park
Our crews work with professional-grade equipment and materials from Uline, Milwaukee, and Ryder - brands we’ve field-tested across two decades of moves. We don’t buy cheap supplies in bulk and charge premium rates. Our Uline double-wall boxes hold up through 12-24 month warehouse stays without sagging or splitting. Milwaukee tape guns seal cartons that stay sealed. We stock these materials locally, not drop-shipped from a fulfillment center, so when a University Park customer calls Friday for a Monday pack, we have inventory ready.
Common Packing Problems We See in University Park Homes
- Underestimating long-term storage needs. Items packed for a short move get damaged after months in a warehouse. We see this constantly with University Park rebuild projects. Standard paper wrap on wood furniture absorbs moisture; cheap boxes crush under stacking. We use vapor-barrier wrap and double-wall construction rated for extended storage.
- Skipping early-morning summer starts. Dallas-area July and August temperatures routinely exceed 105°F. Art, wine collections, and antique wood pieces left on a truck or curb during midday loading suffer heat damage. We schedule University Park crews for 7 AM starts through peak summer and use insulated transit blankets for temperature-sensitive items.
- Failing to pre-coordinate with University Park PD. The city’s independent police force enforces commercial-vehicle ordinances strictly on narrow, post oak-lined streets. Crews who don’t obtain proper permits or stage trucks correctly face fines and forced mid-job relocations. We handle this coordination before your pack date, not after a citation.
- Trusting standard labor with specialty items. Curved staircases, elevator shafts, and oversized custom furniture pieces in new University Park builds require experienced crews with proper equipment, not day workers sourced from a text message. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians are trained to headquarters standards and on Milestone’s payroll.
