Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Longwood’s Preferred Packing Services Company
Longwood residents hire us because we show up in uniform, with background-checked crews on our own payroll, and we put the quote in writing before we touch a single box. No day labor. No number that doubles on move day.
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. That matters in a town like Longwood, where many of our customers are moving heirlooms out of homes their families have owned for generations.
We answer the phone 24/7. Before your move, during the move, and at 10 p.m. when you notice the china cabinet doesn’t look right. Live person, every time.
Our trucks are garaged locally and stocked with Uline corrugated supplies, Milwaukee tools for quick disassembly, and the custom crating materials that century-old Longwood homes demand. We don’t run back to a warehouse mid-job.
Our Packing Services in Longwood
Full Packing Service
A full pack means we handle everything - kitchen, closets, garage, attic. In Longwood’s two-story homes, especially in the 32750 and 32779 zip codes with narrow staircases, we disassemble beds and sectional sofas first so the pack stays efficient and nothing gets wedged in a tight turn. The price we quote is the price you pay. A typical full packing service in Longwood runs $300-$1,600.
Partial Packing
Some Longwood customers pack the easy rooms themselves and hand us the trouble spots - kitchens, home offices, or that back bedroom full of holiday collectibles. We’re happy to work that way. We’ll survey your home in person or by video, note the split, and give you one binding number for our portion. No confusion about where our responsibility starts and stops.
Unpacking Service
Our unpacking crew works room by room, placing items where you want them and hauling away the debris same-day. In Longwood’s gated communities like Sweetwater Oaks, we coordinate with your HOA’s debris removal rules so you don’t get a fine for boxes left at the curb. One crew, start to finish.
Fragile & Art Packing
This is where Longwood’s historic homes really test a packer. Original built-in cabinetry, glass-front china hutches, and family pieces that have survived a century need more than bubble wrap and hope. Our fragile and art packing service in Longwood runs $300-$1,600 and includes acid-free tissue, custom foam inserts, and full-value protection on everything we handle. We recently handled a full-packing job on a 1920s wood-frame home near the historic downtown Longwood district, where the owner had fine china and original built-in cabinetry. Our team used custom crating for the glass-front china cabinet and soft-packed every heirloom in acid-free tissue, then coordinated with the homeowner to schedule the load-out before the 2 p.m. thunderstorm window, protecting everything from the high humidity.
Custom Crating
Standard boxes fail on solid-wood furniture, oversized mirrors, and vintage fixtures common in Longwood’s older homes. Our custom crating service - $300-$1,600 - builds wooden frames and corrugated corner guards to your item’s exact dimensions. We measure on-site, build in our truck or shop, and crate before the item leaves your home. In the historic SR-17A corridor, where narrow doorways and low ceilings make even a padded blanket risky, crating is often the only safe option.
Packing Supplies & Boxes
We stock Uline double-wall boxes, dish packs with cell dividers, wardrobe cartons, and specialty materials for antiques. If you’re packing yourself, we’ll deliver supplies to your Longwood home and advise on quantities based on your square footage and room count. No guesswork, no half-dozen trips to the hardware store.
Trusted Equipment & Materials We Use in Longwood
Our crews load trucks with Uline corrugated supplies rated for Florida humidity, Milwaukee cordless tools for fast furniture disassembly, and Ryder-maintained vehicles kept in current inspection. We don’t subcontract your pack to a crew we’ve never met. Every box, roll of tape, and custom crate comes from our own inventory, stocked specifically for the conditions we find in Seminole County - including the moisture-resistant materials that keep particleboard furniture from swelling during a rainy-season move.
Common Packing Problems We See in Longwood Homes
- Standard cardboard boxes catching on century-old doorways. In Longwood’s historic SR-17A corridor, many century-old wood-frame homes still have original single-pane windows, knob-and-tube wiring remnants, and narrow doorways that make standard cardboard-and-bubble-wrap packing a hazard - our packing crews must use soft-pack methods and custom corrugated corner guards to protect irreplaceable fixtures during a move.
- HOA moving hours ignored until the gate won’t open. In Sweetwater Oaks or Wingfield North, security gates require resident-called authorization and internal loop roads can’t accommodate a 26-foot truck making a U-turn. We confirm HOA windows before we dispatch, and we build that timing into your pack schedule.
- Humidity damage to unprotected items. Central Florida’s June-September rainy season brings near-daily afternoon thunderstorms that can halt a mid-move in minutes; crews working in Longwood must plan outdoor loads and truck packing before roughly 2-3 p.m. or risk damage to unprotected items. The year-round high humidity also means particleboard furniture and cardboard boxes degrade quickly if a move stretches past one day.
- Oversized vintage furniture underestimated. Solid-wood pieces from Longwood’s older homes don’t fit in dish packs or standard wardrobes. We measure and crate on-site, avoiding the mid-move realization that forces a risky carry.

What moves the needle within these ranges? Home size, number of fragile items needing custom materials, and access difficulty - a third-floor walk-up in a historic wood-frame takes longer than a single-story ranch with a garage door steps from the truck. Stair carries, disassembly, and crating all add hours. We survey every home in person or by video before we quote, so the number we write down accounts for what we’ll actually find. No surprises. Current standing offers include $250 off moves over $2,500, a free in-home or video estimate, and free wardrobe boxes on every full-service move.
