We’ve been packing homes in Lauderdale Lakes since 2006, and we know the city’s housing stock like our own trucks. The two- and three-story concrete block walkups along State Road 7 and NW 31st Avenue weren’t built for modern furniture dimensions. Narrow exterior stairwells, 28-inch doorways, and tight turns built in the 1960s and 1970s turn a straightforward pack into a spatial puzzle. Our crews measure doorways before we wrap a single sofa. We’ve learned which buildings have loading zones and which force us to double-park with traffic cones, coordinate with HOA offices, and move fast before afternoon thunderstorms turn parking lots into ponds. That local knowledge saves hours and prevents damage that generic packers never see coming.

Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Lauderdale Lakes’s Preferred Packing Services Company
Lauderdale Lakes residents call us because we’ve earned a reputation for showing up in the window we promised, in uniform, with crews who know the difference between a CBS single-family on a tight lot and a third-floor walkup near the Swap Shop. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if anything we packed isn’t right, one call brings a crew or a check - not a subcontractor, not a claim form that disappears.
We answer our phones live, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Before your move, during your move, and 87 days after delivery if a box we packed shows up crushed. Dale Whitmore founded this company in Miami in 2006, and he’s built it on one principle: put the quote in writing after a real survey, then honor it. No doubling on the ramp. No stranger crews sourced from a text message.
Our response time to Lauderdale Lakes averages under an hour for scheduled packing jobs. We garage our trucks locally, stock Uline boxes and Milwaukee packing tape in every vehicle, and know which Lauderdale Lakes buildings require advance notice to property managers. That preparation matters when you’re staring down a move from a third-floor walkup with no elevator and a narrow staircase built when furniture was smaller.
Our Packing Services in Lauderdale Lakes
Full Packing Service
Our Full Packing Service sends a crew to your Lauderdale Lakes home to pack every room, label every box, and prepare everything for transport. In the 1960s walkups along NW 31st Avenue, this means room-by-room staging to keep narrow corridors passable, pre-measuring doorways before wrapping sectionals, and double-padding glass items for tight stairwell turns. We bring all supplies - Uline boxes in multiple sizes, paper, bubble wrap, tape, and moving blankets. The price is locked after your in-home or video survey. A typical full pack for a one-bedroom Lauderdale Lakes apartment runs $300-$900; a three-bedroom with more complex access can reach $1,200-$1,600.
Partial Packing
Partial Packing covers what you don’t want to handle yourself - usually kitchens, fragile collections, or that one room you keep putting off. Many Lauderdale Lakes customers book us for kitchen packing alone: the concrete block construction means thin walls and resonant spaces where improperly wrapped glassware doesn’t survive stairwell bumps. We pack what you assign us, you handle the rest. Pricing scales with scope, typically $300-$700 for targeted room coverage.
Fragile & Art Packing
Lauderdale Lakes’s Caribbean communities often move artwork, framed photographs, and sentimental pieces that connect families across borders. Our Fragile & Art Packing service uses custom-built cardboard corners, double-walled Uline boxes, and museum-grade paper for pieces heading to Port-au-Prince, Kingston, or into storage. For high-value or irregular items, we build custom crating on-site - same $300-$1,600 range, with most art packing falling in the $400-$800 bracket for a typical Lauderdale Lakes collection.
Packing Supplies & Boxes
We sell professional-grade supplies to Lauderdale Lakes residents who prefer to pack themselves but want better materials than the home store offers. Our trucks carry Uline small boxes for books, medium boxes for general items, large boxes for linens, wardrobe boxes with hanging bars, dish barrels with cell packs, and tape that actually sticks in South Florida humidity. Bundle pricing is available. Free wardrobe boxes come with every full-service move we book.
Unpacking Service
Our Unpacking Service puts your Lauderdale Lakes home back together on delivery day. Crews unpack labeled boxes, remove debris, and place items where you direct. For international arrivals - containers from Port-au-Prince or Kingston clearing through Port Everglades - we coordinate timing so your unpacking crew meets the delivery, inspects for transit damage, and gets you settled same-day.
Custom Crating
Antique furniture, oversized mirrors, and equipment that won’t fit standard boxes get custom-built wooden crates fabricated at your Lauderdale Lakes location. We measure, build, pad, and seal on-site. Most custom crating for Lauderdale Lakes residential moves falls between $300 and $800 per item, with complex or oversized pieces reaching the top of our $300-$1,600 range.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderdale Lakes
Our crews work with Uline corrugated boxes and packing materials, Milwaukee tape dispensers and utility knives, and Ryder truck specifications for load planning. We don’t sell these brands - we use them because they hold up under Lauderdale Lakes conditions. Uline’s double-wall boxes survive three flights of stairs better than single-wall retail stock. Milwaukee’s tape guns keep working when humidity hits 90 percent in July. And our familiarity with Ryder vehicle dimensions means we know exactly how much truck space your packed load requires before we arrive. Every Milestone truck rolling into Lauderdale Lakes carries these tools, fully stocked, so we’re never making a supply run on your clock.
Common Packing Problems We See in Lauderdale Lakes Homes
- Doorways that eat furniture. The 28-inch doorways and U-shaped corridors in Lauderdale Lakes’s 1960s walkups trap wrapped sofas and dressers that cleared the living room fine. We measure every doorway and stairwell turn before the first blanket comes out - a five-minute step that saves hours of re-wrangling.
- Boxes that collapse mid-carry. Standard double-wall boxes loaded with books or kitchenware fail on the third flight of stairs. We reinforce with extra taping, use dish barrels for heavy items, and never overload a box past what a crew member can safely carry down narrow steps.
- Monsoon-soaked cardboard. Lauderdale Lakes’s flat terrain and afternoon thunderstorms from June through September flood parking lots in minutes. We schedule morning starts, keep blankets and boxes under truck cover, and wrap weather-sensitive items in plastic sheeting before any outdoor carry.
- International moves with mixed logistics. Packing for local transport versus barrel shipping to Port-au-Prince requires different materials, labeling, and documentation. Our crews know which items need extra padding for container freight, which need customs-accessible packing lists, and how to stage a load that splits between local truck and international forwarder.
