Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Schertz’s Preferred Packing Services Company
We’ve packed homes in Schertz since the mid-2000s, back when subdivisions like Falcon Ridge were still filling in and FM 78 was a two-lane corridor. That history matters because Schertz housing is almost entirely post-1990 construction - slab-on-grade, open floor plans, standardized door widths that create tight pivot angles for oversized sectionals and king frames on single-story layouts. We know which hallways in The Crossvine require custom crating for china cabinets before we walk through the door.
Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and on Milestone’s own payroll - never day labor sourced from a text message. The crew that surveys your home is the crew that packs it. One team, start to finish.
Response time to Schertz runs same-day or next-day for estimates, and we schedule packing with named windows, not vague “morning” or “afternoon” blocks. We call before we knock.
The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers everything we pack. If a box we handled isn’t right, one call brings a crew or a check - not a subcontractor, not a claim form that disappears into a voicemail box.
Our Packing Services in Schertz
Full Packing Service
Full packing in Schertz means we handle every room, every drawer, every closet. For a typical 2,000-square-foot home in Pecan Grove or Falcon Ridge, that’s usually a full day with a three-person crew, start times locked in by 7:30 AM in summer to clear the heavy lifting before the dangerous 1-4 PM heat window. We bring all materials - paper, tape, boxes, wardrobe cartons - and everything is inventoried room by room. The price we quote is the price you pay: $300-$1,600 per room depending on density and specialty items.
Because Schertz sits adjacent to JBSA-Randolph, the PCS surge fills our packing crews 6-8 weeks out by April. February booking is the only reliable way to secure a weekend slot for full-packing jobs. We’ve watched too many families call in May expecting next-week availability and get turned away. Don’t be that family.
Partial Packing
Partial packing targets the rooms you won’t get to - usually kitchens, garages, and home offices with the most small items and fragile edges. In Schertz’s master-planned subdivisions, garages often double as storage for military gear, seasonal equipment, and overflow from open-concept living areas that lack built-in closet density. We pack what you designate, leave daily essentials accessible, and coordinate the handoff so your DIY packing doesn’t collide with our professional load.
Unpacking Service
Unpacking at destination means we don’t just drop boxes - we place items, remove debris, and break down materials as we go. For Schertz families PCSing out to new duty stations, this service is often booked at the destination end through our long-distance network. For local moves within 78154 or to nearby Converse and Live Oak, we offer same-day unpack with the same crew that loaded the truck. One crew. No handoffs to strangers.
Fragile & Art Packing
Schertz’s post-1990 homes feature open floor plans with large great-room walls that hold oversized art, flat-screens, and framed military memorabilia. Our fragile and art packing uses double-walled cartons, custom foam inserts, and padded blanket wrap for pieces that won’t fit standard boxes. We recently packed a full 4-bedroom in the Mission Creek subdivision off FM 78 for a retiring Air Force family. Their china cabinet was heavier than expected, and the tight hallway pivot needed our custom-crating team to secure the glass panels. We wrapped the delicate pieces with our specialty paper and used a padded blanket wrap, finishing two days before their hard out-date.
Custom Crating
Custom crating in Schertz runs $200-$900 per item and covers anything that exceeds standard box dimensions or weight limits - gun safes, oversized mirrors, marble tops, antique sideboards. We build crates on-site with Milwaukee tools and Uline materials, sized to the millimeter for your specific piece. The crate travels with the item, not stacked loose in a generic container.
Packing Supplies & Boxes
We stock professional-grade supplies for Schertz customers who prefer to self-pack with Milestone materials: double-walled dish barrels, wardrobe boxes with hanging bars, mirror cartons, and paper by the pound. Everything we sell is the same stock our crews use - no retail-grade single-wall boxes that crush under load. Delivery runs same-day or next-day across 78154.
Trusted Brands We Service in Schertz
Our crews train on equipment and materials from Uline, Milwaukee, and Budget Truck Rental platforms, and we maintain stocked supply chains for the metros we serve. For Schertz customers, that means no waiting on backordered specialty boxes or crating foam when your PCS date is fixed and non-negotiable. We also coordinate with U-Pack container loads for military families managing PPM/DITY moves, supplying the professional packing documentation and weight-ticket support that reimbursement requires. Turnaround on custom orders runs 24-48 hours, and our trucks are garaged locally with full inventory.
Common Packing Problems We See in Schertz Homes
- Underestimating the heat: Packing crews starting after 7:30 AM in June and July face 100-105°F ambient temperatures with concrete radiant heat pushing feels-like numbers higher. We schedule early starts as standard practice, not a premium upsell, because heat exhaustion slows work and risks your timeline.
- Booking too late: Families calling in May expect next-week packing slots, but our queues fill 6-8 weeks out by April due to the JBSA-Randolph PCS surge. The ones who booked in February get the weekend slots and the experienced crews. The ones who waited get DIY stress and higher damage rates.
- Overlooking PCS paperwork: Failing to coordinate packing schedules with DD-1299 and PPM/DITY weight ticket deadlines can void reimbursement for military families. We build pack dates backward from your hard out-date, with buffer built in for scale verification and documentation.
- Assuming all tracts are the same: Schertz’s standardized door widths and slab-on-grade construction mean different challenges than San Antonio’s older stock. A sectional sofa that pivots fine in a 1940s Alamo Heights cottage may not clear the hallway angle in a Mission Creek single-story without disassembly. We survey first, then quote.

Pricing for Packing Services in Schertz, TX
Here’s what packing costs in the Schertz market, based on home surveys we’ve completed across 78154:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Full Packing Service (per room) | $300-$1,600 |
| Custom Crating (per item) | $200-$900 |
Factors that move the needle: room density (a packed craft room costs more than a sparse guest bedroom), fragility concentration (china, art, instruments), accessibility (stairs, tight pivots, long carries from garage to truck), and timing (peak PCS season in May-July books at standard rates but with longer lead times, not inflated pricing). We don’t surge-price military families. The quote we write down after your survey is the quote you pay - backed by the Move-Right Guarantee.
Current standing offers apply: $250 off moves over $2,500, free in-home or video estimate, and free wardrobe boxes on every full-service move. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule your survey.

FAQs - Packing Services in Schertz
Book in February for May-July PCS dates. By April, our weekend slots for full-packing jobs are typically filled 6-8 weeks out, and same-week availability is gone. Call (855) 890-3455 to lock your date - estimates are free.
Yes - garage contents are standard scope for full and partial packing, including tools, seasonal gear, and storage items near the door. We don’t service the door mechanism itself, but we’ll coordinate safe access and document any pre-existing damage before we start. For binding pricing on garage-heavy homes, schedule a survey.
Yes - every PCS quote includes documentation support for PPM/DITY reimbursement, weight-ticket coordination, and scheduling built around your report date and hard out-date. We understand DD-1299 timelines and build buffer for scale verification. Call (855) 890-3455 and mention your orders date.
Start by 7:30 AM. Schertz’s concrete driveways and slab foundations radiate heat from late morning forward, pushing effective temperatures well above the 100-105°F ambient reading by 1 PM. Early starts let crews complete heavy lifting and attic access before the dangerous heat window. We schedule accordingly - no extra charge.
Yes - two-story packing is standard scope, though stair carries add time and may adjust crew size. Most Schertz housing is single-story slab-on-grade, but developments like sections of The Crossvine include two-story plans. We note stair count during survey and quote accordingly. The price we quote is the price you pay.
