Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Burbank’s Preferred Packing Services Company
Burbank residents have been leaving us reviews for over 20 years. The pattern is consistent: they mention the binding quote that didn’t budge, the crew that arrived in Milestone uniforms, and the live person who answered when they called at 9 p.m. about a concern. We don’t subcontract packing labor to day workers sourced from a text message. Every technician who enters your Burbank home is background-checked, on our payroll, and trained to headquarters standards.
Our response time to Burbank is typically same-day or next-day for estimates, with packing crews available within 48 hours for standard bookings and faster for production-hiatus relocations. We know the seasonal spike patterns here - summer and December-January breaks drive demand as studio employees and freelance crew relocate between projects. We staff for it.
The 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every Burbank job we pack. If anything isn’t right after delivery, one call brings a crew or a check. Not a claim form that disappears. Not a subcontractor who points fingers.
Our Packing Services in Burbank
Full Packing Service
A typical full pack of a Burbank bungalow runs $300-$1,600, depending on volume and access. We handle everything - kitchens, closets, garages, and the accumulated storage areas that Burbank’s older homes hide so efficiently. Because Burbank’s flatland bungalows and hillside homes date mostly from the 1940s-1960s, their attics, crawlspaces, and built-in cabinets hide generations of accumulated studio props, wardrobe bins, and master tapes - packing crews here must be ready for archival-grade materials and the need for custom cartons, not just standard boxes. We survey your home first, in person or by video, so we arrive with the correct inventory of specialty containers. No running out of wardrobe boxes at 4 p.m. No cramming fragile items into whatever’s left.
Partial Packing
Many Burbank customers pack the easy rooms themselves and bring us in for the heavy, fragile, or time-consuming zones - kitchens, home offices, garages with studio equipment. We’re happy to work that way. We’ll give you a binding quote for just the scope you want, and you can add on if you discover more than you expected in that attic above the detached garage. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Unpacking Service
Our unpacking crews don’t just drop boxes in rooms. We place furniture, set up beds, reassemble desks, and remove all debris same-day. For Burbank’s Media District professionals who need a functional home office by Monday morning, this matters. We can unpack and position your editing suite, reconnect monitors, and stage equipment so you’re operational fast.
Fragile & Art Packing
Fragile and art packing in Burbank runs $300-$1,600 per room or collection, depending on piece count and protection level. Burbank’s entertainment-worker households routinely contain production cels, vintage posters, professional audio gear, and lighting fixtures that standard bubble wrap won’t protect. We use acid-free tissue, foam-in-place molding, and double-walled cartons engineered for museum transit. Full-value protection applies to everything we pack.
Custom Crating
Custom crating in Burbank is priced per item at $300-$1,600, based on dimensions, weight, and fragility. Server racks, film reels, oddly-shaped lighting fixtures, and prop collections don’t fit Uline or Milwaukee standard boxes. We build on-site or in our shop, using ISPM-15 certified lumber when interstate or international transit requires it. Every crate is labeled, photographed, and inventoried before it leaves your Burbank address.
Trusted Brands We Service in Burbank
Our Burbank crews regularly pack and protect equipment from Uline supply systems, Milwaukee tool collections, and the specialized gear that entertainment professionals acquire through industry channels. We don’t just bring generic boxes. We stock dish barrels, mirror cartons, guitar boxes, and flat-screen crates sized for the actual items Burbank homes contain. For customers using Packing Services as part of a larger move, we coordinate crate delivery and pickup with your loading schedule so your garage isn’t a warehouse for three weeks.
Common Packing Problems We See in Burbank Homes
- Attic and garage volume surprises. Burbank’s 1940s-1960s bungalows pack remarkable storage into small footprints. We’ve seen attics above detached garages hold twenty years of wardrobe bins and prop collections. Homeowners routinely underestimate by 30-40%. Our in-home survey catches this before packing day.
- Standard boxes for non-standard gear. Film reels, lighting fixtures, and server racks don’t fit Uline medium boxes. They require custom cartons or built crates. Using the wrong container risks damage and voids full-value protection claims.
- Hillside access failures. North Burbank streets above Glenoaks Canyon can dead-end or narrow to single-lane grades. We’ve learned to scout truck access the day before, not discover the problem with a loaded vehicle at the curb. This prevents the shuttle delays that turn a one-day pack into a two-day ordeal.
- Heat scheduling mistakes. Burbank’s triple-digit summers, June through September, make afternoon packing grueling and potentially hazardous for crews and temperature-sensitive materials. We start before 7 a.m. when summer packing Burbank homes. October-November Santa Ana wind events can trigger Red Flag warnings and close hillside streets entirely. We monitor conditions and communicate proactively if rescheduling is necessary.

When winds are forecast, we either reschedule proactively or stage shuttle vehicles at a lower point to minimize exposure. Your crew chief calls before we leave the warehouse.

In the Verdugo foothills, we packed a retired prop master’s 1950s bungalow for a move to a bungalow colony in Toluca Lake. Our team used custom crating for a dozen fragile production cels and archival wardrobe, and the steep single-lane approach required a two-truck shuttle. We finished before the 11 a.m. heat kicked in.
