Fast, Reliable Packing Services Across Boerne
Packing services in Boerne typically run $300-$1,600 depending on your home’s size and contents, and Milestone Moving Co. can usually schedule your pack within 48 hours of your survey. We’re familiar with the split personality of this market: the tight hallways and original plaster walls of pre-1960s limestone homes in 78006, and the sprawling open plans of new master-planned communities like Esperanza and Herff Ranch in 78015. Our crews have packed both, and we know the difference matters. Call (855) 890-3455 for a free in-home or video estimate.
Boerne sits at roughly 1,400 feet on the Edwards Plateau, and that elevation brings realities flatland movers don’t face. Summer heat breaks 100°F regularly, turning exposed limestone driveways into radiators during afternoon loads. Spring and fall bring sudden hail cells rolling off the Hill Country with little warning. And those winding caliche drives west of downtown? A loaded 26-foot truck often can’t make the turn, or the grade, or both. We’ve learned to scout these jobs in advance and quote shuttle logistics honestly - not discover them at your doorstep with a surprise fee.

Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Boerne’s Preferred Packing Services Company
We’ve been in business since 2006, and our Packing Services team has handled the full spectrum of Boerne housing: historic downtown cottages on Hauptstrasse with 28-inch doorways, ranch compounds off FM 474 with quarter-mile limestone approaches, and everything the I-10 corridor builders have thrown up since 2010. That variety teaches you what generic packing manuals don’t cover.
Our quote process starts with a real survey - in person or by video - and ends with a binding written number. The price we quote is the price you pay. No escalation on pack day, no “extra materials” surcharge, no truck-access fee we forgot to mention. The Move-Right Guarantee puts it in writing.
Every crew member is background-checked, uniformed, and on our payroll. Not day labor sourced from a text thread. One crew, start to finish. And when you call (855) 890-3455, a live person answers - before your move, during your pack, and if something needs attention afterward.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers everything we pack. If it isn’t right, one call brings a crew or a check. Not a claim form that disappears into a subcontractor’s voicemail.
Our Packing Services in Boerne
Full Packing Service
A full pack in Boerne means we handle every item in your home, from the kitchen drawers to the attic storage. In 78015’s newer builds, that often means navigating three-car garages filled with oversized furniture and long carry distances to the truck. In 78006’s historic core, it means working around original plaster walls that won’t tolerate a box corner gouge and staircases built before modern appliance dimensions existed. We bring the materials, the labor, and the method - packed like it’s ours, protected like it’s yours. Full-value coverage applies to everything we handle.
Partial Packing
Some Boerne customers want us focused on the trouble spots: kitchens, garages, or that one room they keep avoiding. Others need help with the items they’ve already learned the hard way about - the glass-front cabinets, the electronics, the oddly shaped patio furniture that won’t fit a standard box. We’ll pack what you designate and leave the rest organized for your own finish. Either way, you get the same binding quote upfront and the same crew standards.
Unpacking Service
Unpacking matters more than people expect, especially after a long-distance relocation to Boerne from Houston or Dallas. You’re tired, the house is unfamiliar, and every box looks the same. Our crew unpacks to surface, removes debris, and places items where you direct. In new Hill Country builds with open floor plans, that means working with you to define zones before we start. In older homes with smaller rooms, it means tighter coordination to avoid cluttering your functional space.
Fragile & Art Packing
This is where Boerne’s housing stock really tests a packer. The historic limestone homes downtown often hold collections accumulated across generations - crystal, oil paintings, antique mirrors with original glass. The new estates along I-10 frequently display contemporary art purchased from San Antonio galleries. Both demand more than bubble wrap and hope. We build custom padding for irregular pieces, crate what needs crating, and document condition before we start. Full-value protection covers the full declared value.
Custom Crating
Some items won’t survive in a box, no matter how sturdy. Grandfather clocks, marble tabletops, chandeliers, large-format artwork - these need engineered crating built to the item’s dimensions and fragility. We recently packed a full household on Cibolo Creek Road, a winding caliche drive just west of town, where the customer’s grand piano and a set of antique glass-front bookcases had to be shrink-wrapped and crated on-site. Our crew navigated the low live oak canopy with a shuttle truck, hand-carrying the crates to the road because the 26-footer couldn’t reach the house. That’s Boerne. We plan for it.
Trusted Brands We Service in Boerne
Our crews work with the materials that make sense for the job, not whatever’s cheapest by the pallet. We stock Uline corrugated in double-wall and triple-wall grades for heavy or sharp-edged items, and we keep Milwaukee fastener tools on the trucks for building and breaking down custom crates in the field. For customers self-hauling with Budget Truck Rental or U-Pack containers, we can pack to their container dimensions and weight limits, accounting for the rougher ride those units take on Hill Country roads. We don’t push brands you don’t need. We use what works.
Common Packing Problems We See in Boerne Homes
- Underpacking for rough shuttle legs. The unpaved caliche and limestone driveways common west of downtown Boerne transmit vibration straight into poorly cushioned boxes. We’ve opened competitor-packed loads where “fragile” meant a single sheet of newsprint. Our standard is minimum two-inch crush space on all sides, with void fill rated for the weight above it.
- Oversized boxes in tight historic homes. A 4.5 cubic foot “large” box fits beautifully through a 36-inch modern doorway. In 78006’s limestone vernacular homes, original doorways often run 28-30 inches, and stairwells turn on landings built for 19th-century proportions. We size boxes to the path, not just the contents.
- Unprotected loading during storm season. Boerne’s spring and fall hailstorms arrive with little warning, and an exposed driveway load can take water damage in minutes. We keep padded moving blankets rated for moisture resistance on every truck, and we monitor radar during outdoor loads. If a cell builds, we cover or stage inside until it passes.
- Ignoring the shuttle cost in quotes. Out-of-town moving companies frequently bid Boerne ranch properties without scouting access, then hit customers with a same-day shuttle fee when the 26-footer can’t make the grade. We survey the approach - photo, video, or in person - and build shuttle logistics into the binding quote from the start.

Pricing for Packing Services in Boerne, TX

| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Full Packing Service (local) | $300-$1,600 |
| Custom Crating (per item) | $300-$1,600 |
Your position in that range depends on home size, item count, specialty pieces requiring crating, and access complexity - a downtown limestone cottage with narrow stairs takes longer per box than a 78015 garage-to-garage load. We don’t guess. We survey, we quote in writing, and the number doesn’t move. Every full-service pack qualifies for free wardrobe boxes, and moves over $2,500 receive $250 off.

FAQs - Packing Services in Boerne
Historic limestone homes in 78006 have narrower doorways, tighter stairwells, and original plaster walls that damage easily, so we use smaller boxes, more corner protection, and hand-carry strategies that avoid wall contact. New builds in The Overlook and other 78015 communities have open plans and three-car garages, which speeds packing but requires managing longer carry distances and larger furniture volumes. Either way, we survey first and quote to the actual conditions. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule your free estimate.
Yes, and we pack differently for container storage than for direct truck loading, using moisture barriers and load-securing straps built into the container’s anchor points. For steep or unpaved driveways where the container can’t be leveled safely, we pack at the road and shuttle to the container, or we coordinate placement with your container company in advance. The key is planning - call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll walk through your specific access.
We use padded moving blankets with moisture-resistant backing on all outdoor staging, monitor live radar during loading, and maintain covered staging areas inside the home or garage whenever possible. If a storm cell builds faster than expected, we pause the outdoor portion and protect the load rather than push through. Boerne’s spring hail is real, and “slightly damp” cardboard becomes “structurally failed” cardboard under a heavy stack. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll build weather contingencies into your pack plan.
Yes - we pack pianos with custom skids and padding, then crate when the driveway conditions demand it, using a shuttle truck for the limestone approach and a full-size truck at the road. The crating and shuttle logistics are built into your binding quote after we survey the access. We’ve done this on Cibolo Creek Road and similar properties west of downtown. Call (855) 890-3455 for a piano-specific estimate.
We deliver boxes, tape, paper, and specialty materials to both ZIP codes, typically within 24 hours of order for standard items and 48 hours for custom crating materials. Delivery is free with any scheduled pack service, and we’ll size your order to your home’s actual room count rather than sell you a generic “3-bedroom kit” that leaves you short on kitchen boxes and drowning in larges. Call (855) 890-3455 to order.
