Heath isn’t a standard suburban move. Homes here sit on sloped lots along Lake Ray Hubbard, with long private driveways that won’t fit a 26-foot truck and HOA rules that restrict commercial vehicles to weekday mornings. We’ve packed 5,200-square-foot custom homes off King Cartway and shrink-wrapped Steinways for lakefront carries. We know the terrain, the heat, and the gate codes - or we know how to get them.

Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Heath’s Preferred Packing Services Company
We’ve been in continuous operation since 2006, and our crews have packed homes in Heath’s highest-end neighborhoods for years. Dale Whitmore built this company on binding quotes and accountable crews, and that matters in a city where the median income ranks among Texas’s highest. You’re not packing a starter home. You’re packing custom millwork, marble-top consoles, and artwork that requires valuation coverage most movers don’t carry.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers everything we pack. If something isn’t right after delivery, one call brings a crew or a check - not a claim form that disappears into a subcontractor’s voicemail. We answer live, 24/7, before your move and after.
Response time to Heath is typically same-day or next-day for estimates, with packing scheduled to hit your HOA’s move window. We don’t guess at driveway access or gate clearance. We survey first - in person or by video - so our crew shows up with the right materials, the right vehicle, and the right paperwork already filed with your community’s security office.
Our Packing Services in Heath
Full Packing Service
A typical full packing job in Heath runs $300-$1,600, depending on square footage and item count. For a recent full packing gig on a 5,200-square-foot custom home near Chandler’s Landing, we started at 6 AM to beat the HOA’s weekday-morning move window and the 105°F heat index. Our crew shrink-wrapped a Steinway grand for the lakefront trek, custom-crated two large-format canvases headed to storage, and used heavy-duty wardrobe boxes for the master closets - all before the noon cutoff, while a second team staged a shuttle van at the curb because the home’s steep driveway couldn’t handle a 26-foot truck. Every full-service move includes free wardrobe boxes and is eligible for $250 off moves over $2,500.
Partial Packing
Some Heath customers pack the easy rooms themselves and hire us for the heavy, awkward, or high-value zones - kitchens with Sub-Zero appliances, master suites with king canopy beds, home offices with built-in shelving. We pack what you don’t want to touch, on your schedule, with the same binding quote protection. You get our crew and our materials for the hours you need, not a padded flat rate for work you could do yourself.
Unpacking Service
Unpacking in a Heath lakefront home means more than opening boxes. It means placing furniture on new floors without scuffing, reassembling bed frames on grand staircases, and staging artwork against walls where natural light hits differently than your last house. Our crews unpack, remove debris, and leave rooms ready to live in - not surrounded by crushed Uline boxes and packing peanuts.
Fragile & Art Packing
Heath’s housing stock is overwhelmingly large custom and semi-custom single-family homes built from the mid-1990s through the 2010s, commonly ranging from 3,000 to 6,000+ square feet with grand entry staircases, vaulted great rooms, and oversized three-car garages. These floor plans mean more heavy, oversized furniture pieces, longer carry distances from truck to interior rooms, and tight staircase angles that add significant labor time compared to smaller suburban homes. Our fragile and art packing accounts for every step of that carry. We use double-corrugated dish barrels for china, glassine paper for oils and acrylics, and custom foam inserts for sculptures - all rated for the jostle of a shuttle van on a sloped driveway.
Custom Crating
Custom crating in Heath runs $150-$400 per item, depending on dimensions and fragility. Marble-top consoles, antique armoires, and oversized mirrors from homes off Smirl Drive don’t survive in standard boxes. We measure on-site, build crates from furniture-grade plywood and closed-cell foam, and stamp each crate with handling instructions and your delivery address. The crate protects the piece from our hands to yours.
Packing Supplies & Boxes
We stock professional-grade materials on our branded trucks: Uline heavy-duty boxes in 12 sizes, Milwaukee tape guns that don’t jam mid-roll, and Ryder-grade moving blankets that won’t shed lint on upholstery. Heath customers can purchase supplies for DIY packing or let our crew handle everything. Either way, you get materials rated for the weight and the weather.
Trusted Brands We Service in Heath
Our crews regularly pack and protect high-end furnishings from brands like Restoration Hardware, Henredon, and Stickley found in Heath’s custom homes. We don’t just wrap and hope. We inventory finishes, photograph pre-existing condition, and match padding to the piece - felt for polished wood, breathable cloth for leather, foam-core for glass. Our trucks carry Uline, Milwaukee, and Ryder-rated supplies so we’re never waiting on a delivery to start your job. For a lakefront move in July, that readiness matters. North Texas heat indices regularly exceed 105°F by mid-morning from June through September, making early-start scheduling essential to protect both crew safety and heat-sensitive items - wood furniture, electronics, and candles - sitting in a closed truck box during a long lakefront carry.
Common Packing Services Problems We See in Heath Homes
- HOA move windows missed. Heath’s gated lakefront communities, such as those off King Cartway and Smirl Drive, enforce HOA move windows that restrict commercial movers to weekday mornings, and many also require advance contractor registration at security gates - so any packing job here must be sequenced around a tight, pre-cleared arrival window or risk being turned away. Out-of-area movers show up Saturday afternoon and get sent home.
- Standard materials on high-value pieces. Using standard packing materials on high-value furniture (e.g., marble-top consoles, custom millwork) that must endure a long, winding carry down a sloped, tree-lined driveway in 105°F heat leads to finish damage, corner dents, and moisture warping. We spec materials to the item and the route.
- Underestimating time and labor. Underestimating the time needed to pack and pad items for a 3,000-6,000 sq ft custom home with grand staircases leaves fragile pieces exposed for the trip to storage or the new residence. Our surveys calculate carry distance, staircase angles, and crew size so nothing gets rushed.
- Driveway access ignored. The region’s expansive clay soils swell and soften after heavy rain, risking truck tires sinking into grass or gravel side areas when movers must pull off narrow lakeside streets. We scout access during estimate and bring shuttle vehicles when the main truck won’t make the turn.

What moves the needle inside these ranges? Square footage is the baseline - a 3,500 sq ft home with four bedrooms takes longer than a 2,500 sq ft three-bedroom. But in Heath, driveway access matters too. A lakefront property requiring shuttle service adds crew hours. High-value items needing custom crating or full-value protection add materials and documentation time. The quote we give after your in-home or video survey is binding. It does not rise on move day, on the ramp, or at delivery. That’s the Move-Right Guarantee. Call (855) 890-3455 for your free estimate - estimates are free, and the number we write down is the number you pay.

FAQs - Packing Services in Heath
Yes. Several gated lakefront neighborhoods in Heath restrict commercial vehicles to weekday morning hours, typically 8 AM to noon, and require advance contractor registration at security gates. We handle the registration and schedule your pack to hit the window. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll confirm your community’s specific rules during the estimate.
We shrink-wrap the case in breathable film, pad the lid and legs with furniture blankets, and crane or skid the piano through the exit path our crew surveys in advance. For lakefront carries in Heath, we often stage a shuttle van at the curb because steep driveways won’t accommodate a 26-foot truck. The piano travels strapped to a piano board, never on its casters. Full-value protection applies to everything we pack.
Yes. Partial packing is common in Heath, where customers handle books and clothing but want us on the kitchen, artwork, and master suite. We price by the hour with a four-hour minimum, and the quote is still binding after survey. You’ll know exactly what the fragile-only pack costs before we start.
Double-corrugated boxes for weight, glassine paper for artwork instead of newsprint that smears in humidity, and plenty of cushioning for heat-sensitive electronics. We supply all of this on our trucks. For a late-summer move, we also schedule starts at 6-8 AM to beat the 105°F heat index that builds by mid-morning. Wood furniture, candles, and vinyl records suffer in a closed truck box - we plan the pack to minimize exposure.
We measure the staircase angle and landing clearance during estimate, then assign crew size and equipment accordingly. Tight turns in Heath’s custom homes often require hoisting straps, furniture sliders, or in rare cases, a window hoist for oversized pieces. We pad railings and treads before we start, and we never rush a carry down stairs. The time to pack and pad for a grand staircase is built into your binding quote.
