Why Milestone Moving Co. Is University Park’s Preferred Packing Services Company
We’ve been in continuous operation since 2006, founded in Hollywood, Florida, and we’ve built our reputation on one principle: the number we write down is the number you pay. For University Park homeowners, that matters more than it might elsewhere. You’re not moving into a starter condo. You’re often packing a 6,000-square-foot household for an 18-month storage stay while your lot gets cleared and rebuilt. The quote has to hold.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every item we pack. If something isn’t right after delivery, one call brings a crew or a check. Not a claim form that disappears. Not a subcontractor who doesn’t answer.
Background-checked, uniformed movers on our own payroll handle every box. Never day labor sourced from a text message. One crew, start to finish.
A live person answers our phones 24/7 - before booking, during your pack, and if you need us three weeks after delivery. That’s not a perk. It’s the minimum standard for the kind of move University Park requires.
Our Packing Services in University Park
Full Packing Service
A typical full pack in University Park runs $300-$1,600 and covers everything from kitchenware to closet contents. We see this most often with families vacating for tear-down rebuilds on Lovers Lane or near Highland Park High School, where the entire household needs to be cleared in a narrow window between closing and demolition. Our crew inventories every item, packs with Uline-grade materials, and labels for either immediate delivery or long-term storage. The price we quote is the price you pay - binding after a real in-person or video survey.
Partial Packing
Partial packing in University Park typically runs $300-$1,600 and covers the rooms or items you choose: kitchens, libraries, art collections, or that one closet you never got around to organizing. Many homeowners on Preston Road hire us for fragile-only packs while handling books and clothing themselves. We’ll survey your home, identify what needs professional materials and technique, and quote only the work you want done. No padding, no surprises on move day.
Fragile & Art Packing
Fragile and art packing in University Park runs $300-$1,600 and includes custom techniques for high-value pieces - museum-grade glassine, acid-free tissue, corner protectors, and climate-controlled transit blankets. University Park’s housing stock includes original 1950s homes with narrow doorways and grand new builds with curved staircases and elevator shafts. Both create unique challenges for oversized or delicate items. Our crews are trained to build custom padding on-site rather than forcing a piece through a space that doesn’t fit.
Custom Crating
Custom crating in University Park runs $300-$1,600 and is built for pieces that standard boxes can’t protect: curved glass staircase sections, oversized mirrors, antique armoires, and investment-grade art. We recently packed a 7,500 sq ft custom build on a narrow lot near Armstrong Parkway, where the owners were moving out for a 14-month rebuild. Our crew used custom crating for a curved glass staircase piece and wrapped art collections in climate-controlled blankets, all while coordinating with the demolition crew’s schedule to avoid fines from University Park’s strict parking ordinances. The crate is built to the piece, not the other way around.
Unpacking Service
Unpacking services in University Park are scheduled to your timeline - same-day upon delivery, or days later once you’ve had a chance to direct placement. Our crew removes packing materials as we go, leaving no debris behind. For rebuild families returning to finished homes, we coordinate unpacking with your contractor’s final walkthrough so you’re not living around boxes during punch-list week.
Trusted Brands We Service in University Park
Our trucks carry Uline corrugated and Milwaukee packing tools as standard issue, and we stock Ryder-grade transit blankets for local jobs. For custom crating, we source hardwood and hardware through regional suppliers with 48-hour turnaround to University Park. We don’t substitute materials to save a few dollars. The Uline boxes we use for your kitchenware are the same ones we use for corporate relocations - double-walled, burst-tested, and sized to eliminate void fill. If a material isn’t good enough for our own equipment, it doesn’t touch your belongings.
Common Packing Problems We See in University Park Homes
- Underestimating time for tight access and oversized items. Original ranch homes on narrow lots near Snider Plaza have doorways built for 1950s furniture, not the 10-foot sectionals common in new builds. Packers who don’t measure and plan for disassembly or crane access waste hours and risk damage.
- Failing to pre-coordinate truck staging with University Park’s independent police force. Unlike Dallas proper, University Park enforces its own commercial vehicle ordinances strictly. Crews who don’t obtain correct permits or stage properly on mature post oak-lined streets face mid-job fines and forced relocation of the truck.
- Packing temperature-sensitive items without heat protection during summer moves. Dallas-area summers above 105°F in July and August can warp antique wood, spoil wine collections, and damage art. Our crews schedule early starts and use climate-controlled blankets and expedited loading to minimize heat exposure.
- Not planning for the rebuild timeline. Many University Park packs are for 12-24 month storage stays during demolition and construction. Without proper inventory, labeling, and storage coordination, families return to find damaged items or can’t locate essentials during the transition back.

FAQs - Packing Services in University Park
We coordinate directly with your demolition and construction schedules, packing for 12-24 month storage with detailed inventory and climate-appropriate materials. University Park’s tear-down/rebuild cycle is unique - many of our full packs here are for families vacating while their lot is cleared and rebuilt, so we label every box for staged retrieval and protect temperature-sensitive items for extended storage. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule a survey that accounts for your construction timeline.
Yes - we use climate-controlled blankets, expedited loading protocols, and early-morning scheduling to protect temperature-sensitive items when Dallas-area temperatures exceed 105°F. Our crews are trained to identify pieces at risk - antique wood, wine collections, certain adhesives in framed art - and pack them with materials that buffer heat exposure during loading and transit. Call (855) 890-3455 to discuss your specific collection.
University Park’s independent municipal police require pre-coordinated commercial vehicle permits and strict adherence to posted parking ordinances on narrow residential streets. We handle permit research and coordination as part of our pre-move survey - it’s not an afterthought. Crews who skip this step risk fines and forced truck relocation mid-job, a complication virtually absent across the city line in Dallas proper. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll confirm requirements for your specific street.
Yes - we measure doorways, staircases, and elevator shafts during survey, then build custom crating or disassembly plans for pieces that won’t clear original 1950s-1970s openings. Many homes near Snider Plaza and along Lovers Lane have narrow entries that require creative solutions, from crane access through second-story windows to on-site custom padding that protects both the piece and the frame. Call (855) 890-3455 for a survey that catches these issues before pack day.
Book 2-4 weeks ahead for standard moves, and 4-6 weeks ahead if your pack coordinates with a rebuild timeline or requires custom crating. University Park’s density of simultaneous luxury relocations tied to active construction creates scheduling peaks that generic moving markets don’t see. We can often accommodate shorter notice, but the binding quote and permit coordination benefit from lead time. Call (855) 890-3455 to check availability and lock your date.
