Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Cave Creek’s Preferred Packing Services Company
We’ve packed homes in Cave Creek for over 20 years, from the equestrian properties near the Spur Cross Conservation Area to the custom builds in the Desert Enclave and Tatum Ranch areas. Our crews know which drives require shuttle vehicles, which gates need advance notice, and how to time a pack to beat the afternoon heat or the sudden monsoon that rolls off the Mazatzal Mountains.
Our binding written quote comes only after a real survey - in person or by video - of your home and property. The number does not change on pack day. Ever. That’s the Move-Right Guarantee. Our background-checked, uniformed crews are on Milestone’s payroll, never day labor sourced from a text message. And our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if anything we packed isn’t right, one call brings a crew or a check - not a subcontractor, not a claim form that disappears.
A live person answers our phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Before your move, during your move, and if something needs fixing after.
Our Packing Services in Cave Creek
Full Packing Service
A typical full packing service in Cave Creek runs $300-$1,600, depending on total square footage and walking distance to outbuildings. We pack every room, every drawer, every item - kitchen to casita, master bedroom to tack room. Our crew arrives with branded trucks fully stocked with Uline boxes, Milwaukee tape guns, and every supply needed for your specific home. For Cave Creek’s sprawling ranch properties, we build extra time into the estimate to account for the distance between main house, guest house, and barn. The price we quote covers it all.
Partial Packing
Many Cave Creek customers handle the easy rooms themselves and hire us for the heavy lifting: kitchens, garages, home offices with electronics, and that one closet nobody wants to touch. We’ll pack as much or as little as you need, with the same binding quote and the same crew start to finish. Partial packing in Cave Creek typically falls in the lower half of our $300-$1,600 range, depending on which rooms you select.
Fragile & Art Packing
Cave Creek homes collect Southwest art, Native American pottery, and custom pieces that demand more than newspaper and hope. We wrap each item in acid-free paper, cushion with foam, and box with engineered inserts that eliminate movement. For especially valuable pieces, we build custom crates on-site. Every fragile item we pack carries full-value protection - if we packed it, we’re accountable for it.
Custom Crating
Some items won’t fit in standard boxes. Chandeliers from a Cave Creek great room. Oversized mirrors. Leather saddles and bridles from a tack room that need shaped support, not compression. We measure, cut, and assemble crates in your driveway or garage, using Uline corrugated and hardwood framing where strength matters. Custom crating adds to the base packing cost, but the alternative - a damaged piece that can’t be replaced - costs more.
Unpacking Service
Our unpacking crews don’t just drop boxes in rooms. We place furniture, empty kitchen cabinets, break down and remove all packing materials, and leave your new Cave Creek home move-in ready. Unpacking service is typically priced as an add-on to packing or moving, and we can quote it together with your pack job so you know the full number upfront.
Packing Supplies & Boxes
We deliver supplies to Cave Creek homes ahead of self-packs, or bring everything with us on full-service jobs. Wardrobe boxes are free on every full-service move. Dish barrels, mirror cartons, mattress bags, tape, paper - we stock it all, sized to your inventory, not a one-size-fits-all kit that leaves you short or drowning in extras.
Trusted Brands We Use in Cave Creek
Our crews pack with Uline corrugated boxes in double-wall and single-wall grades, Milwaukee fast-load tape dispensers that don’t jam mid-roll, and Ryder-branded moving pads for furniture protection. We don’t buy cheap supplies by the pallet and hope they hold up. For custom crating, we source hardwood and engineered foam through Uline’s industrial catalog, cut to spec for each piece. Everything arrives on our branded trucks, garaged and stocked in the metros we serve - not rented from a lot the morning of your job.
Common Packing Problems We See in Cave Creek Homes
- Trucks stuck on caliche drives. A standard 26-foot box truck cannot turn around on most private drives off Spur Cross Road or upper Cave Creek Road. Crews that don’t pre-scout lose hours backing out, or worse, block the only access for the homeowner and neighbors.
- Monsoon damage to open loads. Afternoon storms from July through September hit with minimal warning. Packed cartons left on open trailers or truck beds get sand-blasted with dust and debris, or soaked if the rain comes hard. We tarp everything and build weather buffers into summer schedules.
- Underestimated walking distance to outbuildings. A Cave Creek “single-story home” often includes a detached casita, guest house, or horse barn 100 yards from the main structure. Estimates that ignore this extra footage run long, and crews rush delicate packing in 110-degree heat to catch up.
- Generic wrapping for regional art. Southwest pottery and Native American textiles need specific materials and techniques. Acid-free paper, climate-stable cushioning, and crates that don’t compress fragile surfaces. Standard bubble wrap and newsprint can stain, scratch, or trap moisture.

FAQs - Packing Services in Cave Creek
Yes. We pre-scout every Cave Creek job with Google Earth and a confirmation call, and we never commit a 26-foot truck without verifying clearance. For properties off Spur Cross Road, upper Cave Creek Road, and unmarked ranch easements in 85327, we routinely stage packing materials at the road and shuttle items by hand or utility cart. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll survey your specific access during your free estimate.
We schedule Cave Creek packing jobs to finish before noon from July through September, and we tarp all open loads at the first sign of weather. Every carton is sealed with water-resistant tape, and fragile items travel inside the truck, never on open beds. If a storm hits mid-job, we pause, cover, and wait - the time is built into your binding quote, not added as a surprise charge.
Yes. Cave Creek’s custom ranches often include casitas, tack rooms, and barns that add significant walking distance and inventory. We include these outbuildings in your initial survey and quote, so the crew arrives with enough time, materials, and labor. We packed a 5,000-square-foot ranch off Spur Cross Road last spring, including a detached casita and a tack room full of leather saddles and bridles that needed custom crating. Our crew pre-scouted the unpaved drive, staged the packed cartons on a tarp at the road, and shuttled everything in on a utility cart - finished before the noon heat, with every fragile item wrapped and logged for the two-truck shuttle.
We bring everything. Our trucks carry Uline boxes in multiple sizes, dish barrels, wardrobe cartons, tape, paper, bubble wrap, and custom crating materials. Free wardrobe boxes come with every full-service move. You do not need to order supplies separately or guess at quantities. During your survey, we inventory your home and calculate exact needs - no running out, no piles of extras left behind.
We deploy a smaller shuttle vehicle - typically a 16-foot box truck or utility trailer - to ferry packed items between your home and the main moving truck staged at the road. This is standard practice for Cave Creek properties in the 85327 ZIP and adds no surprise cost if included in your binding quote. We confirm the shuttle need during your free survey, not on pack day when the truck is already stuck. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule a survey and we’ll walk your property together.
