We’ve been packing homes in Minnetonka since 2006, and we know the terrain. The split-levels near Glen Lake, the executive builds off Vine Hill Road, the wooded lots with driveways that curve and climb. Our crews are based in metros we serve with fully stocked branded trucks, and we understand what Minnetonka’s housing stock demands: extra stair carries, careful handling of custom built-ins, and logistics planning for those long cul-de-sacs where a 26-foot box truck simply won’t turn around. When UnitedHealth Group transfers an executive to or from Minnetonka, the move often involves high-value furnishings and tight access. We’ve built our packing process for exactly that.

Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Minnetonka’s Preferred Packing Services Company
Our reputation in Minnetonka rests on one thing: we do what we said we’d do. The quote we write down after surveying your home is the price you pay. No additions on move day, no surprises when the truck is loaded.
We answer our phones live, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Before your move, during the packing, and if something needs attention 90 days after delivery. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings a crew or a check. Not a claim form that disappears. Not a subcontractor you never met.
Every Milestone packer is background-checked, uniformed, and on our payroll. We don’t pull day workers from a text message. One crew, start to finish. On time, in the window we gave you, and we call before we knock.
Minnetonka’s corporate relocation volume, driven by UnitedHealth Group’s global headquarters, means we pack for frequent transferees who’ve moved before and won’t tolerate the usual abuses. They choose us because we’ve eliminated them.
Our Packing Services in Minnetonka
Full Packing Service
We pack everything. Kitchens with their mix of everyday dishes and wedding china. Garages with their odd-shaped tools and seasonal gear. Basements full of storage bins and holiday decorations. In Minnetonka’s 1965-1985 split-level homes, this means planning for multiple stair carries between non-contiguous levels. We map the route before we open the first box. A typical full packing service in Minnetonka runs $300-$1,600, depending on home size and volume.
Partial Packing
You handle the easy rooms. We handle the rest. Most Minnetonka customers choose partial packing for kitchens, fragiles, and home offices while managing bedrooms and closets themselves. It’s a practical split that keeps costs down without sacrificing protection where it matters. We still survey the home first and bind the quote. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Unpacking Service
Arrival day is when most moving damage reveals itself. Our unpacking service puts trained eyes on every item as it comes out of the box. In Minnetonka’s competitive May-through-October moving season, when everyone’s booked solid, having your crew unpack means catching issues immediately, not three weeks later when the box is long gone. We stage boxes by room, break down materials as we go, and leave you with a home you can live in that same evening.
Fragile & Art Packing
Minnetonka’s newer executive builds in the $700K-$1.5M range often hold serious collections. Contemporary art, antique mirrors, sculptures from travel. Our fragile and art packing service uses museum-grade materials and custom techniques for each piece. A typical fragile and art packing job in Minnetonka runs $300-$1,600, scaled to the collection’s size and complexity. Full-value protection applies to everything we pack.
Custom Crating
Some items won’t survive in a standard box. Italian marble sculptures. Vintage instruments. Oversized mirrors with gilt frames. We measure, build, and foam-in-place crating on-site or at our facility. The crate travels with your shipment and gets opened by the same standards we used to build it.
Packing Supplies & Boxes
We stock Uline corrugated, Milwaukee tape guns, and specialty materials most hardware stores don’t carry. Wardrobe boxes are free on every full-service move. If you’re packing yourself, we’ll deliver materials to your Minnetonka home and advise on quantities based on your square footage and room count.
Trusted Brands We Use in Minnetonka
Our trucks carry Uline boxes and packing materials, Milwaukee cutting and fastening tools for custom crating, and Ryder equipment for shuttle logistics when Minnetonka’s cul-de-sacs demand a smaller vehicle. We don’t show up hoping the local store has what we need. Our branded trucks are fully stocked for the specific demands of your job, whether that’s a standard pack or a white-glove executive relocation with art crating and piano padding. If your move requires a shuttle van for that final driveway leg, we’ve already factored it into the binding quote. No last-minute calls to rent equipment. No delays while someone drives to Eden Prairie for supplies.
Common Packing Problems We See in Minnetonka Homes
- Oversized trucks on tight cul-de-sacs. Standard 26-foot box trucks get stuck on Minnetonka’s tree-lined curved driveways, forcing last-minute shuttle transfers that compress packing timelines and increase damage risk. We survey access before we quote and dispatch the right vehicle from the start.
- Winter pack jobs on ice-glazed walkways. Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycle from November through March turns every exterior path into a slip hazard. Crews that skip matting and ice management drop boxes and break contents. We don’t skip it.
- Split-level stair carries without a plan. Minnetonka’s dominant 1965-1985 housing stock means multiple non-contiguous levels. Packing for these homes fails when crews don’t account for the extra stair time and box routing, leading to crushed contents and damaged furniture.
- Underestimating executive-home inventory. Newer Minnetonka builds feature custom built-ins, smart-home integrations, and high-end furnishings that require specialized materials and handling. Out-of-town movers often quote for a standard pack and arrive unprepared.

FAQs - Packing Services in Minnetonka
We dispatch a shuttle van or smaller straight truck for the driveway leg, and we build this into your binding quote from the start. Last fall, our packing crew spent a day in a custom-built home on a wooded cul-de-sac off Vine Hill Road, wrapping a collection of Italian marble sculptures and a vintage Steinway for a corporate executive relocating with UnitedHealth Group. We used custom crating for the art, padded every piece of the piano, and staged everything for a straight-truck transfer at the curb because the driveway couldn’t accommodate our 26-footer. The homeowner’s smart-home system had to be disarmed before we could carry items through the carriage-house door, and we finished with a whole-house fragile inventory list. Call (855) 890-3455 to discuss access at your Minnetonka home.
May through early October is the practical window for most Minnetonka customers, though we pack year-round. The short gap between mud season in April and peak summer demand means schedules fill fast. Winter moves are absolutely doable, and crews who master ice management and proper matting win repeat business from corporate transferees on tight timelines. Book eight to twelve weeks ahead for summer dates. Call (855) 890-3455 to check current availability.
Yes. We regularly pack for executive homes in the $700K-$1.5M range with custom millwork, integrated smart-home components, and designer furnishings. Our crew surveys these items during the estimate, notes disassembly requirements, and brings appropriate materials and tools. Full-value protection covers everything we pack. Call (855) 890-3455 for a survey of your specific pieces.
Yes, custom crating is a core service for our Minnetonka customers, particularly those with corporate relocation packages through UnitedHealth Group or similar employers. We measure, build, and foam-in-place on-site or at our facility. The crate ships with your goods and is opened with the same care used to construct it. This is standard for our fragile and art packing service. Call (855) 890-3455 to discuss your collection.
We plan the box route and crew positioning before opening the first carton, accounting for the non-contiguous levels that define Minnetonka’s 1965-1985 housing stock. Heavy items get extra padding for stair carries. Box labels include level and room to prevent misrouting. The additional labor is factored into your binding quote, not added as a surprise on move day. Call (855) 890-3455 for an estimate that reflects your home’s actual layout.
