Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Margate’s Preferred Packing Services Company
We’ve packed homes in Margate for over 20 years, from the original CBS ranches built in the 1970s to the Oriole Gardens, Oriole Pines, and Oriole Palm condo complexes where management offices enforce strict move-out protocols. Our crews know which buildings require 72-hour elevator reservations, which front desks need certificates of insurance on file, and which corridors are too narrow for a standard dresser without disassembly first.
Our customers in 33093 leave reviews that mention the same things: the quote didn’t change, the crew showed up in Milestone uniforms, and someone picked up the phone at 9 PM when they had a question about their delivery window. That’s the difference between a binding written quote and a phone estimate that doubles on move day.
We typically arrive at Margate jobs within 45 minutes of our stated window. We call before we knock. And our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if anything we packed isn’t right after delivery, one call brings a crew or a check - not a claim form that disappears into a subcontractor’s voicemail.
Our Packing Services in Margate
Full Packing Service
We pack everything - kitchen, closets, garage, attic. In Margate’s older ranch homes near Atlantic Boulevard, that often means dealing with decades of accumulated items in carport storage and original kitchen cabinets built to 1960s dimensions. Our crew inventories every box, labels by room, and stages for loading before noon to beat the thunderstorms. A typical full pack in Margate runs $800-$1,600 depending on square footage and whether we’re also crating artwork or antiques.

Partial Packing
Many Margate customers handle the easy rooms themselves and hire us for the kitchen, the fragile items, or the garage workshop. Partial packing in Margate typically runs $300-$700. We see this often in the 55+ communities, where residents have already donated furniture but need help with the china cabinet, the framed family photos, and the closet of collectibles accumulated over forty years.

Unpacking Service
We don’t just drop boxes. Our unpacking crew places items where you want them, removes debris, and breaks down every carton. In Margate’s compact condo layouts, this matters - there’s nowhere to stage empty boxes, and the building’s 5 PM deadline means we can’t leave a pile for “later.” We finish clean, on time, and within the window the HOA gave you.

Fragile & Art Packing
Margate’s 55+ communities are full of heirlooms: Waterford crystal, Hummel figurines, oil paintings from the 1970s Florida art scene. We wrap glass in double-layered bubble pack, build custom foam inserts for electronics, and pad every frame with corner protectors. Full-value protection covers everything we pack - no deductible, no depreciation games.

Custom Crating
Some items won’t survive in a standard box. Grandfather clocks, marble tabletops, antique mirrors - these need wooden crates built to the item’s exact dimensions. Our crew recently packed a two-bedroom unit in Oriole Gardens for a resident moving to assisted living. We wrapped her china in double-layered bubble pack and custom-crated a grandfather clock, then coordinated with the HOA to reserve the service elevator 72 hours ahead - critical because the building’s narrow corridors and low-weight-limit elevator mandated full disassembly of her heirloom furniture. Custom crating in Margate starts at $150 per item and scales with size and fragility.

Packing Supplies & Boxes
We stock Uline corrugated cartons in every standard size, plus wardrobe boxes, dish barrels, and mirror cartons. Every full-service move includes free wardrobe boxes. If you’re self-packing and just need materials, we deliver to Margate with a minimum order - no driving to Budget Truck Rental for dented secondhand boxes that collapse in the humidity.

Trusted Brands We Service in Margate
Our trucks carry Milwaukee tool sets for furniture disassembly, Uline inventory labels for tracking every carton, and U-Pack coordination for customers splitting a long-distance load. We don’t just pack - we equip the job correctly for Margate’s specific demands, whether that’s a ground-floor ranch on Rock Island Road or a sixth-floor unit in Oriole Palm with an elevator that hasn’t been updated since 2006.
Common Packing Problems We See in Margate Homes
- Packing crews that don’t reserve service elevators 48-72 hours ahead in condo buildings like Oriole Palm can lose their window and delay the entire move. Building management enforces these rules strictly, and same-day requests are almost always denied. We call the HOA office before we load the truck.
- Leaving heat-sensitive items - like vinyl records or candles - on an unventilated truck during Margate’s midday 100°F heat can cause warping or melting, a common oversight. We stage climate-sensitive cartons last and unload them first, never letting them sit in direct sun.
- Overpacking boxes beyond elevator weight limits in older mid-rise condos leads to stuck elevators and missed 5 PM deadlines. Our crew weighs and distributes loads to stay under the 1,500-pound limits common in buildings from the 1970s.
- Assuming carport-stored items from a CBS ranch are “ready to go” without checking for moisture damage or pest intrusion. Margate’s humid climate degrades cardboard and attracts silverfish; we inspect and re-box anything that’s been sitting in exterior storage.
