Highland Park is not Dallas. It is a self-governing municipality with its own police department, its own parking ordinances, and streets that do not forgive a crew that shows up unprepared. We know this because we have packed homes on Beverly Drive, worked around the live oaks on Preston Road, and coordinated with Highland Park town hall for street access more times than we can count. The narrow, tree-canopied streets lined with mature post oaks physically restrict standard 26-foot moving trucks. We routinely stage packing materials and boxes from a climate-controlled truck parked at a distance, then shuttle loads in smaller vehicles. This is standard operating procedure for us in 75205. It is not standard for movers who treat Highland Park like another Dallas neighborhood.

Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Highland Park’s Preferred Packing Services Company
We have packed and moved homes in Highland Park for over 20 years. Our crews know the difference between a 1920s estate on a curving driveway and a teardown-rebuild on a zero-lot line. They know to call town hall before blocking any street, and they know that HPPD does not issue warnings.
Our reputation here is built on specificity. We do not estimate by phone. We send a trained estimator for an in-person or video survey of your Highland Park home, then put a binding number in writing. That number covers everything: the custom crating for your grand piano, the foam-in-place protection for your oil paintings, the climate-controlled transport for your wine collection. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Response time to Highland Park is typically next-day for surveys and 48-72 hours for full packing starts. We garage our branded trucks locally and stock Uline corrugated containers, Milwaukee packing tools, and Ryder shuttle vehicles for tight street conditions. Live support answers every call, 24/7, including the claims desk. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means that if anything we packed is not right, one call brings a crew or a check. Not a subcontractor. Not a form that disappears.
Our Packing Services in Highland Park
Full Packing Service
A typical full packing service for a 2-bedroom Highland Park home runs $800-$1,600. This includes every room, every drawer, every closet. Our crew arrives with uniformed, background-checked movers on Milestone’s own payroll, never day labor sourced from a text message. For Highland Park’s larger estate homes, we often schedule a two-day pack: day one for general contents, day two for specialty items and final kitchen prep. We coordinate with town hall for street access windows so the truck is never ticketed or forced to reposition mid-load.
Partial Packing
Some Highland Park customers pack books and linens themselves and hire us for the hard parts: kitchens, wine rooms, artwork, and antiques. We price partial packing by the hour and by material, with a binding ceiling agreed in advance. This works well for families in temporary relocation during a 12-18 month teardown-rebuild who need only their essential items professionally protected.
Unpacking Service
Our unpacking service is available at destination, whether that is a rental in University Park during construction or your new build in Highland Park. We break down and remove all Milestone packing materials, place items per your floor plan, and reassemble furniture we disassembled. The 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to unpacking too: if we placed it and it is not right, we return.
Fragile & Art Packing
Highland Park homes contain inventories that demand more than standard cardboard. Oil paintings warp in Dallas summer heat. Wine bottles expand and leak. Custom millwork scratches on tight staircases. Our fragile and art packing service, priced per item at $100-$500, includes acid-free paper, custom-built foam enclosures, and climate-controlled staging. Last July, our crew tacked a full packing job for a 1920s estate on a tree-lined street with a porte-cochère; the homeowners needed our custom crating for oil paintings and a 9-foot grand piano before a 12-month teardown-rebuild. We staged all packing supplies in our climate-controlled truck parked a block away, pre-packed the wine room’s 400 bottles, and coordinated with the town hall for a single 90-minute window to load the piano. No tickets. No repositions.
Custom Crating
Grand pianos, antique armoires, and oversized contemporary art do not fit in Uline standard boxes. Our custom crating service for Highland Park estate items runs $300-$900 for a grand piano, with foam-in-place molding that absorbs shock through shuttle transfers on narrow, oak-canopied streets. We build crates on-site or at our staging point, depending on street access. Every crate is labeled, photographed, and inventoried before it leaves your driveway.
Packing Supplies & Boxes
We sell professional-grade packing supplies for Highland Park residents who prefer to handle some portion themselves: dish packs, wardrobe boxes, mirror cartons, and bubble wrap by the roll. Free wardrobe boxes are included with every full-service move. We deliver supplies to your door in Highland Park, coordinated with your pack schedule so nothing sits in a hot garage longer than necessary.
Trusted Equipment and Materials We Use in Highland Park
We stock Uline corrugated containers in double-wall and triple-wall grades for Highland Park’s heaviest estate pieces. Our crews pack with Milwaukee fast-charge tools for quick disassembly of custom built-ins. Ryder shuttle vans handle the final leg on streets where 26-footers cannot turn around. We do not improvise. We arrive with the right equipment for your specific inventory and your specific street conditions.
Common Packing Problems We See in Highland Park Homes
- HPPD citations mid-pack. Failing to pre-coordinate with Highland Park town hall for street access results in tickets and forced relocation of the truck, disrupting the packing flow for estate items. We make that call before we load a single box.
- Heat damage to sensitive collections. Dallas summers past 100°F expand wine bottles and warp oil canvases. We pre-chill sensitive items and schedule critical packing during early-morning hours, with climate-controlled trucks staged nearby.
- Standard boxes failing on custom pieces. Using off-the-shelf cardboard for custom millwork, antiques, and pianos leads to corner damage during tight turns and shuttle transfers. We build custom crates with foam-in-place solutions for anything that cannot be replaced.
- Underestimating inventory in teardown-rebuilds. Families vacating for 12-18 months of construction often discover their temporary rental cannot accommodate full estate contents. We pack for both destinations, labeling storage-bound items separately and clearly.
