Packing services in Gunbarrel, Colorado typically run $300-$1,600 depending on your home size and what we’re handling, and most jobs are scheduled within 24-48 hours of your call.

Gunbarrel sits on the exposed Boulder County plains at roughly 5,100 feet, and that wind doesn’t stop for your move date. We’ve packed homes here through late-spring snowstorms in April and 40-mph gusts that turn a simple carry down concrete stairs into something that demands proper wrapping and the right hand truck. Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and on our own payroll - not day labor sourced from a text message. We’ve been at this since 2006, and we back every packing job with our 90-Day Done Right Promise.

Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Gunbarrel’s Preferred Packing Services Company
We’ve been serving Gunbarrel and the broader Boulder County area for over 20 years. In that time we’ve packed the same garden-style layouts repeatedly - Gunbarrel Green, the complexes along 63rd Street, the units near IBM’s original campus - which means we know where the tight turns are before we walk through your door.
Our crews arrive in uniform, in branded trucks garaged locally, and we call before we knock. The quote you receive after our real in-person or video survey is binding. It does not increase on move day, on the ramp, or at delivery. That’s our Move-Right Guarantee in writing.
Live support answers every call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - before you book, while we’re packing your kitchen, and if something needs attention 90 days after delivery. One call brings a crew or a check. Not a subcontractor. Not a claim form that disappears.
Current offers for Gunbarrel customers include $250 off moves over $2,500, a free in-home or video estimate, and free wardrobe boxes on every full-service move.
Our Packing Services in Gunbarrel
Full Packing Service
We pack everything - kitchens, bedrooms, garages, home offices. In Gunbarrel’s garden-style apartments, this matters more than you might think. Those narrow hallways and exterior stairwells at complexes near Lookout Road mean every box needs to be sized right and sealed tight before it leaves your unit. We pad door frames and plan stairwell staging before the truck arrives. A typical full pack in Gunbarrel runs $300-$1,600 depending on square footage and how much you’ve accumulated since the last IBM or biotech hiring wave.
Partial Packing
You handle the easy rooms; we handle the fragile, heavy, or time-consuming ones. Most Gunbarrel customers have us pack kitchens and electronics while they sort closets and paperwork. Partial packing is priced by the hour and the materials used, and we’ll tell you exactly where the break-even point sits before we start.
Unpacking Service
We don’t just drop boxes and leave. Our unpacking crew places furniture where you want it, breaks down boxes, and removes packing debris. In Gunbarrel’s tight apartment parking lots, this means one less trip for you to the dumpster across the lot. We schedule unpacking for the same day or the morning after delivery - your call.
Fragile & Art Packing
Glassware and electronics take extra cushioning for the rough ride down Gunbarrel’s exterior stairwells. We double-wrap fragile items and use Uline foam and Milwaukee-rated padding for anything over 50 pounds. Local artists in the Gunbarrel studios near the Diagonal Highway trust us with framed canvas and sculpture. A fragile and art packing job in Gunbarrel typically falls in the $300-$1,600 range depending on volume and custom needs.
Custom Crating
Oversized items from Gunbarrel acreage homes - think workshop equipment, antique armoires, or large-format art - need more than a box. We build on-site crating with Uline materials and Milwaukee tools, sized to the item and the doorway it has to clear. Custom crating in Gunbarrel runs $300-$1,600 based on dimensions and handling requirements.
Packing Supplies & Boxes
We deliver professional-grade supplies to your door in Gunbarrel: dish packs, wardrobe boxes, mirror cartons, tape, and paper. You buy what you use; we buy back what you don’t. No need to make three runs to the hardware store while the wind’s blowing off the plains.

What moves the needle inside these ranges? Three things: how much you own, how much of it is fragile or oversized, and access. A third-floor walk-up at a garden complex off 63rd Street with no elevator takes longer than a ground-floor unit. Acreage homes with long drives mean more staging time but easier truck access. We survey your actual space - in person or by video - before we quote. The price we quote is the price you pay. Call (855) 890-3455 for your free estimate.
Common Packing Problems We See in Gunbarrel Homes
- Underestimating exterior stairwell conditions. Gunbarrel’s 1970s garden apartments have concrete steps that ice over in late-spring storms and railings that don’t always survive a heavy lean. We bring hand trucks rated for 600 pounds and plan the load path before we wrap your first dish.
- Standard supplies for non-standard items. Acreage homes north of CO-119 often have workshop equipment, oversized doors, and heavier household goods that need more than a medium box. We bring pneumatic lifts for appliances and build custom crates on site.
- Parking and staging in tight lots. Many Gunbarrel complexes were built before moving trucks were this size. Because Gunbarrel is unincorporated Boulder County, we avoid the City of Boulder’s commercial vehicle permits and residential parking restrictions, letting us stage trucks and packing trailers closer to garden-style apartment stairwells than crews a mile west in Boulder proper.
- Wind and weather exposure during carries. Gunbarrel’s 5,100-foot elevation means exposed carries between building and truck. We shrink-wrap upholstered furniture and pad electronics boxes to keep dust and moisture out during short outdoor transits.

FAQs - Packing Services in Gunbarrel
Yes. Most of our Gunbarrel jobs are in 2-3 story garden complexes built between the late 1960s and mid-1980s with exterior stairwells and no freight elevators. We bring hand trucks rated for 600 pounds, pad door frames, and plan stairwell staging before the truck arrives. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule a free survey - we’ll measure the tight turns and quote accordingly.
We monitor conditions and communicate by text or call if timing needs adjustment. Last April we packed a two-bedroom unit at the Gunbarrel Green apartments off Lookout Road, but a late snowstorm hit mid-job. With no freight elevator, we wrapped the sofa in shrink-wrap and padded blankets on the exterior stairwell, then used a hand truck rated for 600 pounds to keep the load balanced on the icy concrete steps - all while the wind gusted to 40 mph. We finished in one trip, as promised. If weather makes the job unsafe, we reschedule at no penalty. Call (855) 890-3455 to discuss contingency planning.
Most Gunbarrel apartments and single-family homes can be packed and loaded in one day, yes. A typical two-bedroom garden unit takes 4-6 hours to pack and 2-3 hours to load with our crew of three. We confirm the timeline during your free estimate and send enough crew to hit the window we promised. The price we quote is the price you pay - no overtime surprises if the stairwells are slower than expected. Call (855) 890-3455 to book your date.
Yes. Gunbarrel acreage properties and some larger townhomes have oversized entries and heavier household goods that need more than standard boxes. We build custom crates on site with Uline materials and Milwaukee tools, sized to the item and the doorway. Custom crating in Gunbarrel runs $300-$1,600 depending on dimensions. Call (855) 890-3455 for a specific quote.
No. Because Gunbarrel is unincorporated Boulder County rather than the City of Boulder, movers operating here avoid the city’s commercial vehicle permit requirements and residential parking restrictions that complicate jobs just a mile west. We stage closer to your building with less red tape. Call (855) 890-3455 to confirm access for your specific complex.
