Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Dallas’s Preferred Packing Services Company
We’ve been packing homes since 2006, and Dallas has been one of our busiest corridors for over a decade. The corporate relocations keep coming - Toyota, Charles Schwab, McKesson - and their employees land in Uptown towers and Lakewood bungalows alike, each with its own packing puzzle. Our Packing Services team has handled both.
Our reputation here is built on specifics. The 90-Day Done Right Promise means if anything we packed arrives damaged, one call brings a crew or a check - not a claim form that disappears into a third-party queue. Every packer on your job is background-checked, in a Milestone uniform, on our payroll. No day labor sourced from a text message. No crew you’ve never seen before.
We answer the phone live, 24/7. Before your move, during, and after. That’s not a slogan - it’s how we’ve operated for 20 years.
Our Packing Services in Dallas
Full Packing Service
We pack everything. Kitchens in Highland Park estates, libraries in University Park colonials, entire Uptown apartments where the freight elevator reservation cost $200 and cannot be missed. Our crew arrives with Uline boxes, Milwaukee tape guns, and the floor plan already noted from your survey. In Dallas’s older stock - the 1920s Craftsman bungalows of Oak Cliff and East Dallas - we map doorways first. Thirty-inch openings don’t forgive.
Partial Packing
You pack the books and linens. We handle the kitchen, the electronics, the fragile stuff. This is the most common choice for Dallas families who’ve moved before and know where the time goes. We often book partial packs for the Friday before a Monday load, especially in summer when starting at 6 a.m. beats the 105-degree driveway.
Unpacking Service
We don’t just drop boxes. We unpack, place furniture, remove debris. For inbound corporate relocations landing in Richardson or Irving, this means your family sleeps in made beds the first night. Our crews have unpacked enough Dallas homes to know which high-rises have trash chute restrictions and which require bagged breakdown carried to the loading dock.
Fragile & Art Packing
This is where our Dallas experience shows. The antique glass-front china cabinet off Jefferson Boulevard in Oak Cliff. The oil collection from a Lakewood Tudor. We use acid-free paper, double-walled Uline cartons, and custom foam inserts. For pieces that won’t survive standard boxing, we build crates on-site - plywood, corner-braced, padded at every strap point. Full-value protection applies to everything we pack. No deductible, no depreciation argument.
Custom Crating
Some items don’t fit in boxes. A marble-top console from a Swiss Avenue mansion. A vintage mirror with original silvering. We measure, build, and pad crates in your home or garage, then disassemble them at delivery. In Dallas’s historic bungalows, where doorways run narrow and plaster walls won’t tolerate a bump, crating is often the only safe path. Custom crating runs $200-$900 per item depending on size and complexity.
Packing Supplies & Boxes
We stock everything we use: dish barrels, wardrobe cartons, mattress bags, picture boxes for art up to 60 inches. Dallas customers can buy direct or have supplies delivered with the crew. Wardrobe boxes are free on every full-service move. For self-packers in Irving or Richardson who want professional-grade materials without the markup, we sell by the bundle at cost-plus.
Trusted Brands We Service in Dallas
Our trucks carry Uline corrugated cartons, Milwaukee fastener tools for crate assembly, and Ryder-supplied moving pads rated for repeated use. We don’t buy cheap single-use supplies. In Dallas’s heat, a box that softens in the truck is a box that fails. We source materials that survive 110-degree index days on the I-30 corridor. If we’re packing your grandmother’s crystal in July, the container matters as much as the technique.
Common Packing Problems We See in Dallas Homes
- Plaster wall damage from tape and straps. In Oak Cliff’s 75208 and East Dallas’s 75206, original lath-and-plaster walls crack under standard packing tape or tight strap pressure. We use soft-pack techniques - moving blankets as buffers, minimal tape, padded straps - developed specifically for these homes.
- Underestimating narrow historic doorways. A 32-inch dresser through a 28-inch doorway requires disassembly or custom crating. Dallas’s Craftsman stock is full of these surprises. We measure during the survey so the crew shows up with the right plan, not the wrong hope.
- Heat damage to packed items left in trucks or driveways. Dallas logs 20-40 days above 100°F each summer. Electronics warp. Vinyl records soften. Art frame adhesives fail. We schedule early starts, rotate crews every 45 minutes, and never stage packed items in unventilated spaces.
- Missed freight elevator windows in Uptown and downtown high-rises. Buildings on McKinney Avenue and in Victory Park require 30-day notice for elevator reservations, refundable damage deposits, and Certificates of Insurance naming the HOA. We handle this paperwork before pack day because missing the window strands everything.

FAQs - Packing Services in Dallas
Yes - most Uptown and Victory Park buildings require residents to reserve freight elevators 30 days in advance, and some enforce hard stop times with penalties. We coordinate directly with your building management, provide Certificates of Insurance naming the HOA as additional insured, and schedule our crew to arrive 30 minutes before your window starts. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll walk you through your building’s specific requirements - estimates are free.
We use double-wrapped moving blankets as the primary buffer, secured with minimal tape placed only on the blanket, never directly on plaster. For furniture disassembly in tight spaces, we pad strap points with soft foam and avoid leaning items against walls during the pack. Our crew recently handled a full packing job in an Oak Cliff Craftsman on a street off Jefferson Boulevard, where the homeowner’s antique glass-front china cabinet had to be crated on-site. With the original plaster walls and narrow 30-inch doorways, we custom-built a plywood crate with added corner bracing, wrapped each shelf individually, and used soft pads behind every strap point - a technique we’ve refined in these exact bungalows to avoid punching through the walls.
Yes - glass-front cabinets are standard for our Fragile & Art Packing and Custom Crating services. We remove glass panels when possible, wrap them in acid-free paper and foam, then crate the frame with corner bracing and padded strap points. Full-value protection covers everything we pack. In Dallas’s historic homes with narrow doorways, crating on-site is often the safest path. Call (855) 890-3455 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
We schedule start times at 6 a.m. from June through September. Dallas routinely hits 100°F by 10 a.m. with heat index values above 110°F. Electronics, leather furniture, vinyl records, and art with heat-sensitive adhesives cannot sit in an unventilated truck or unshaded driveway. Our crews rotate every 45 minutes in peak summer. If you’re packing yourself, start at dawn. If we’re packing you, we beat the sun.
We monitor radar continuously during spring storm season along the I-30/I-35 corridor. If a supercell develops, our crew secures packed items inside the truck or garage, never leaves furniture staged outdoors, and pauses until the threat passes. We build buffer time into every Dallas schedule during March through May. If severe weather forces rescheduling, your binding quote and crew assignment hold - no rebooking fees. Call (855) 890-3455 to discuss contingency planning for your date.
