Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Kirby’s Preferred Packing Services Company
We’ve been serving military and civilian families in Kirby since 2006, and our crew knows the difference between a standard pack and one built for a PCS move with government paperwork attached. Our Packing Services team handles DoD weight tickets, TMO coordination, and bill of lading documentation that out-of-state van lines often fumble.
Kirby customers get the same 90-Day Done Right Promise every Milestone client receives: if anything we packed isn’t right after delivery, one call brings a crew or a check. No claim forms that disappear. No subcontractors.
Our trucks are garaged in the San Antonio metro, so response time to Kirby is typically same-day or next-day. We call before we knock, and we show up in uniform - background-checked, on our payroll, not day labor sourced from a text message.
Our Packing Services in Kirby
Full Packing Service
A full pack in Kirby means we handle everything from the kitchen cabinets to the attic storage, built around your home’s specific layout, with our Moving & Storage in Kirby keeping everything secure. Most Kirby ranches have those 30-32-inch doorways and carport entries, so our crews arrive with extra furniture pads, shrink wrap, and disassembly tools. We break down bed frames, wrap dressers with drawers still in place when possible, and stage everything in shade before the truck backs onto the blacktop. A typical full pack in Kirby runs $300-$1,600.
Partial Packing
Partial packing is what Kirby customers choose when they’ve handled the easy rooms but need us for kitchens, garages, or that one fragile cabinet. We’ll pack whatever you point to, and we’ll do it with the same materials and methods as our full-service jobs. Many Randolph AFB families use this option for PCS moves where the military covers some items but not others.
Unpacking Service
Our unpacking crews don’t just drop boxes in rooms. We place furniture where you want it, reassemble what we took apart, and haul away the debris. In Kirby’s older homes, where rooms are smaller and layouts are fixed, this matters. You won’t be tripping over Uline boxes in your hallway for a week.
Fragile & Art Packing
Kirby’s military families often own pieces collected from postings around the world - pottery from Okinawa, framed maps from Germany, glassware from Italy. Our fragile and art packing runs $300-$1,600 and uses custom padding, double-boxing, and suspension packing for canvases. We treat these items the way we’d want our own handled: packed like it’s ours, protected like it’s yours.
Custom Crating
Some items won’t survive even the best box. Antiques, large mirrors, marble tops, and certain electronics need built-to-fit wooden crates. Our custom crating in Kirby is priced at $300-$1,600 depending on dimensions and materials, and we build them on-site or at our shop. Every crate is labeled for orientation and handling, and full-value protection applies to everything we crate ourselves.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kirby
Our crews regularly pack and protect items that travel in Budget Truck Rental rigs, U-Pack containers, and personal vehicles - whatever your move requires, we make sure your belongings arrive intact. We stock professional-grade supplies from Uline and pack with Milwaukee tool kits for quick, clean disassembly of furniture that needs to come apart for those narrow Kirby doorways. Our branded trucks carry everything needed on-site, so we’re not making supply runs while your furniture sits on hot blacktop.
Common Packing Problems We See in Kirby Homes
- Narrow doorways force last-minute disassembly. Kirby’s 30-32-inch ranch doorways weren’t built for modern sectionals or king beds. Packing items without breaking them down first leads to scraped jambs, torn upholstery, and dropped pieces. We measure and disassemble before wrapping.
- Summer carport heat damages wrapped goods. San Antonio’s June-September temperatures, regularly crossing 100°F, turn Kirby’s concrete carports into ovens. Electronics warp, wood cracks, and shrink wrap can bond to finishes if left in direct sun. We stage in shade and load fast.
- PCS season books solid months ahead. Every military family at Randolph seems to move simultaneously in summer. Wait too long and you’re stuck with whatever out-of-state van line the TMO assigns, often with no local accountability and no one to call when something breaks.
- Original fixtures are brittle with age. Kirby’s 1950s-1970s homes have door hardware, closet rods, and built-ins that have been stressed for decades. Our crews know to check for loose hinges and weak anchors before hanging wardrobe boxes or leaning furniture against walls.
