We’ve packed homes along Airline Road, in the subdivisions off Houston Levee, and throughout the neighborhoods near Arlington High School. Arlington’s mix of 1990s-era ranch homes and newer two-story builds on the east side means every job needs a different approach to materials and crew size. We don’t guess. We survey first, then lock in the number.

Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Arlington’s Preferred Packing Services Company
Milestone Moving Co. has been in continuous operation since 2006, and our Memphis-based crews have packed hundreds of Arlington homes over the past two decades. Dale Whitmore, our owner, built this company on a simple standard: every quote goes in writing, every crew member wears a Milestone uniform, and every packed item is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Arlington customers find us because they’ve heard the stories. The mover who doubled the price once the truck was loaded. The packing crew that showed up in unmarked clothes and disappeared with a box of jewelry. We are the direct answer to that. Our Arlington jobs get a binding written quote after a real survey, a named pickup window, and full-value protection on everything we pack. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Before your move, during your move, and if something isn’t right 60 days after delivery. That line rings to our Memphis dispatch, not a call center in another state.
Our crews know Arlington’s roads. They know the tight turning radius on the cul-de-sacs off Chester Street. They know which subdivisions have the steep driveways that complicate truck placement. That local knowledge saves time, and saved time is money you don’t spend.
Our Packing Services in Arlington
Full Packing Service
A full pack means we handle everything. Kitchen cabinets, closets, garage shelving, attic storage. In Arlington, we see a lot of two-story homes in the 38002 zip with finished basements that homeowners forgot they used for storage. Our survey catches that. We bring the crew size and the hours to match the actual volume, not a phone guess. Full packing service in Arlington runs $300-$1,600 per job depending on square footage and density. Every full-service move includes Free Wardrobe Boxes.
Partial Packing
Some Arlington customers pack the easy rooms themselves and hire us for the trouble spots. Kitchens. China cabinets. Home offices with electronics. We handle partial packing the same way we handle full jobs: binding quote, uniformed crew, full-value coverage on what we touch. Partial packing in Arlington also falls in the $300-$1,600 range, scaled to the specific rooms and items. If you’re packing yourself, our Packing Services team can deliver supplies ahead of time.
Unpacking Service
Unpacking is where moves fall apart. Boxes sit in the garage for months. We offer same-day or next-day unpacking in Arlington, with crews that place items in cabinets, make beds, and haul away the debris. This is especially popular with Arlington’s relocating professionals who need the house functional before Monday morning.
Fragile & Art Packing
Arlington has its share of collected art, inherited china, and memorabilia from years of Titans and Grizzlies fandom. We use double-walled dish barrels, glassine paper, and custom foam inserts. Everything is inventoried and photographed before transit.
Custom Crating
Some items don’t fit in a box. Antiques, oversized mirrors, electronics with original packaging long gone. Our custom crating in Arlington is built on-site or in our Memphis shop, with plywood and foam cut to the item’s exact dimensions. Custom crating runs $300-$1,600 per item depending on size and fragility. We recently packed a five-bedroom home in a 38002 master-planned subdivision near the Viridian area. The homeowners’ builder-grade closet shelves and garage cabinets were so flimsy that our techs had to custom-crate the doors and use extra bubble wrap to prevent damage during transit - a common issue in these newer homes where “standard” fixtures are not built for real-world moving.
Packing Supplies & Boxes
We stock Uline boxes, Milwaukee tape dispensers, and paper in quantities that match Arlington home sizes. A typical supply set for a 2,500-square-foot Arlington home runs $90-$400. We deliver ahead of your pack date so you can start sorting if you choose. Or our crew brings everything on pack day and you don’t lift a finger.
Trusted Equipment and Materials We Use in Arlington
We don’t buy supplies at retail. Our Arlington crews work with Uline corrugated boxes rated for 200-pound test strength, Milwaukee fast-load tape guns that don’t jam mid-roll, and Ryder-branded moving pads that we launder between jobs. Our trucks carry inventory sized for Arlington’s housing stock: the smaller 1,800-square-foot ranches near the old town center and the 3,500-plus-square-foot builds in the newer subdivisions. That means we don’t run back to Memphis for more boxes while your clock runs.
Common Packing Problems We See in Arlington Homes
- Underestimating volume in large two-story homes. South Arlington’s newer subdivisions feature heavy furniture layouts with winding staircases that slow every carry. Homeowners often guess low on box count. Our survey measures cubic footage, not room count.
- Builder-grade fixtures that can’t handle transit. Closet systems, garage cabinets, and pantry shelving in newer Arlington builds are often lightweight pressboard. We see shelves collapse during packing if not properly disassembled and crated.
- Summer heat degrading adhesive and tape. Arlington’s Tennessee summers peak in the 90s with humidity to match. Boxes loaded in morning cool can sit in truck heat for hours. We use hot-melt tape formulations rated for 140°F and schedule early starts to beat the worst of it.
- Last-minute scheduling during peak periods. Arlington’s growth has compressed the available moving calendar. Spring through August books solid. Jobs scheduled two weeks out in peak season may face limited crew availability.

FAQs - Packing Services in Arlington
No, we do not schedule around Dallas-Fort Worth sports events because our Arlington is in Tennessee, not Texas. Our Memphis-dispatched crews serve Arlington, TN, where local scheduling considerations include Shelby County school calendars and peak summer moving season. Call (855) 890-3455 to find available windows that work for your timeline.
We do not serve the University of Texas at Arlington; our service area is Arlington, Tennessee. August is still a peak month here due to Shelby County school starts and end-of-lease turnover. We recommend booking packing services at least three weeks ahead for late-July through mid-August. Call (855) 890-3455 to lock in your date.
Yes, our crews regularly pack two-story homes in Arlington’s newer subdivisions where winding staircases complicate furniture movement. We bring additional crew members for these carries and custom-crate oversized items when disassembly isn’t practical. Your binding quote includes the labor and time for these conditions. Call (855) 890-3455 for a free in-home or video estimate.
Yes, custom crating is available for antiques, glass-front cabinets, electronics, and other fragile items regardless of home age. Older Arlington homes often have narrower doorways and tighter turns that make standard boxes impractical. Our crating is built to the item’s dimensions and the home’s constraints. Custom crating runs $300-$1,600 per item. Call (855) 890-3455 to discuss your specific pieces.
We recommend our standard Uline double-walled boxes with hot-melt tape rated for high temperatures, plus our heaviest-grade moving pads for furniture. Arlington’s summer humidity can soften standard tape adhesives and weaken single-wall cardboard. Our crews also schedule early-morning starts to minimize heat exposure during loading. A complete supply set for a typical Arlington home runs $90-$400. Call (855) 890-3455 for a delivery quote.
