Our Packing Services in Edina
Full Packing Service
We pack everything. Kitchens in Edina’s 1970s split-levels off Drexel Avenue. Libraries in Country Club District estates. Basements full of seasonal gear from homes near 50th & France. Our crew arrives with Uline boxes, Milwaukee tape guns, and padded blankets sized for oversized sectionals that barely fit through 1920s doorframes. The quote covers labor, materials, and the time required. The number doesn’t move.
Partial Packing
Some Edina customers pack the easy rooms and hand us the trouble spots: china cabinets, home offices with electronics, garages with tool collections. We price partial packing by the room or by the item, always after a real survey. A typical partial pack in Edina runs $300-$800 depending on fragility count and access constraints.
Fragile & Art Packing
Edina’s concentration of fine art, antiques, and investment pieces demands more than bubble wrap and hope. We build custom foam inserts for framed works, use acid-free paper for textiles, and double-crate oil paintings for temperature-buffered transport. In winter, we stage packed art in a climate-controlled zone of our truck before the door seals, protecting veneers from the thermal shock of Edina’s -20°F wind chills meeting a 72°F interior.
Custom Crating
Because Edina’s Country Club District and Morningside feature 1920s-1940s homes with narrow doorways and tight stairwells, packing crews here must custom-crate and disassemble oversized furniture on-site. Something rare in newer suburbs like Eden Prairie. We measure on-site, build crates in our truck or your driveway, and pad every contact surface before the piece moves an inch. A custom crate for a grand piano or oversized mirror in Edina typically falls within our $300-$1,600 packing range.
Unpacking Service
We don’t drop boxes and run. Our unpacking crews place furniture in mapped positions, remove packing debris, and haul it away. For Edina’s zero-setback lots, where driveway space is minimal, we coordinate debris removal to avoid blocking your garage or your neighbor’s access.
Trusted Equipment and Materials for Edina
We stock Uline corrugated boxes in double-wall and single-wall grades, Milwaukee fast-charge tools for on-site disassembly, and Ryder-maintained trucks spec’d for narrow residential streets. For Edina’s luxury market, we maintain a dedicated inventory of art crates, piano boards, and temperature-monitoring equipment. Parts and materials are loaded before we leave the warehouse, so we don’t burn your clock hunting supplies.
Common Packing Problems We See in Edina Homes
- Trucks that don’t fit the neighborhood. Standard 26-foot moving trucks can’t navigate the Country Club District’s tree-lined streets, some barely wide enough for two cars. We stop short and shuttle loads with smaller vehicles, a hidden time cost that catches out-of-area companies off guard and blows quoted job windows. We build shuttle time into your binding quote.
- Thermal damage to fine furniture. Minneapolis-area winters see wind chills below -20°F. Moving solid wood from that cold into a warm Edina living room without thermal buffering causes cracking and veneer separation. We wrap and stage wood pieces to equalize gradually.
- Underestimating old-house constraints. Period doorways in Morningside and the Country Club District weren’t built for California-king mattresses or sectional sofas. We disassemble on-site and custom-crate components, adding time that lowball quotes ignore.
- Lawn damage during spring thaw. Edina’s manicured yards soften fast in March and April. Heavy foot traffic and dolly loads rut turf that homeowners restore at significant cost. We lay Masonite paths and adjust routes to protect landscaping.

FAQs - Packing Services in Edina
We pack breakables at the point of origin, often in the room where they’re stored, to eliminate unnecessary transport through tight spaces. For items that must move, we use two-person carries with padded hand trucks, and we build custom crates on-site for pieces that won’t navigate the stairwell safely. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule a survey and we’ll measure your specific access.
Yes. We sell Uline boxes, tape, paper, and bubble wrap by the bundle, delivered to your Edina address. We’ll also advise on quantities based on your home’s square footage and room count, so you don’t make a midnight run for more tape. Supplies are priced separately from our packing labor; call for current rates.
Yes. In the Country Club District, we packed a client’s Steinway grand piano and a collection of antique glassware from a 1928 stucco home. Our crew custom-crated the piano and used padded blankets and shrink-wrap for the glassware, navigating the narrow front hallway with a two-person carry to avoid gouging the plaster walls. Piano packing requires a dedicated crew member trained in disassembly, board mounting, and climate-controlled transport.
Pack art in climate-buffered crates with moisture barriers, and transport it in the climate-controlled section of our truck. Spring thaw in Edina brings humidity spikes and soft ground that complicates loading; we lay protective paths and schedule art-heavy moves during stable weather windows when possible. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers any art we pack that arrives with condition issues.
Yes. Our unpacking service places items in designated rooms, assembles furniture, and hauls all debris. For Edina’s zero-setback lots with limited driveway space, we coordinate removal timing to avoid blocking access. Debris removal is included in full-service unpacking quotes; call (855) 890-3455 to add it to your binding estimate.
