Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Stratmoor’s Preferred Packing Services Company
We’ve built our reputation in Stratmoor on accountability, not hourly-rate undercutting. Our Packing Services team arrives in uniform, background-checked, on Milestone’s payroll - never day labor sourced from a text message. The crew that surveys your home is the crew that packs it.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every Stratmoor pack. If anything we boxed or crated isn’t right within 90 days of delivery, one call brings a crew or a check. No subcontractor, no claim form that disappears.
Response time to Stratmoor is typically next-day or same-week, with summer PCS surge periods (June-July) booked further out. We answer calls 24/7 with a live person, not a menu tree - before your move, during your pack, and if something needs fixing after delivery.
Local knowledge matters here. We understand DPS weight allowances, government bills of lading, and the 30-day notice windows that Fort Carson families navigate. That expertise isn’t theoretical; it’s from packing Stratmoor homes through multiple PCS cycles and learning which boxes fit through which doorways.
Our Packing Services in Stratmoor
Full Packing Service
A full pack in Stratmoor means we handle every room, every drawer, every closet. For a typical three-bedroom ranch near Fort Carson, this runs $300-$1,600 depending on volume and specialty items. We bring all materials - including free wardrobe boxes on every full-service move - and we size them to your home’s constraints. That 28-inch hallway in your 1965 tract home? We’ve already measured it in our heads.
We packed a three-bedroom ranch on Holbein Avenue last June, two weeks before the family’s PCS to Fort Hood. The key box we built on-site for a 70-inch TV had to fit through a 28-inch-wide hallway, so we hinged one side for a tight turn - then shrink-wrapped the entire load against a late-spring snow squall that blew in from Cheyenne Mountain.
Partial Packing
Some Stratmoor customers pack the easy rooms themselves and hire us for the trouble spots: kitchens, garages, attics with steep pull-down stairs common in mid-century construction. We can pack a single room or a category - all your books, all your tools, whatever’s pushing you toward that DPS weight limit. Partial packs are quoted by the hour or by the room after survey; either way, the number is binding.
Unpacking Service
Unpacking at your destination is where moves often fall apart. We offer structured unpack services that put boxes in the right rooms, break down and remove packing materials, and let you sleep in your own bed that first night. For military families reporting to new duty stations exhausted from travel, this service pays for itself in functioning kitchens and made beds.
Fragile & Art Packing
Stratmoor’s military families collect artifacts from postings worldwide - Japanese ceramics, German crystal, Middle Eastern textiles. Our fragile and art packing uses double-walled boxes, custom-cell dividers, and museum-grade wrapping. Every item is photographed and condition-noted before boxing. Full-value protection applies to everything Milestone packs; that’s part of the Move-Right Guarantee.
Custom Crating
Oversized or high-value pieces that won’t survive standard boxing get custom-built crates, typically $200-$900 per item depending on dimensions and interior padding. We’ve crated antique armoires for moves to Germany, gun safes for transfers to Fort Bragg, and commissioned artwork for officers retiring to the Springs. The crate is built to your doorway’s actual measurements, not a catalog guess.
Trusted Brands We Use in Stratmoor
We stock professional-grade materials from Uline and Milwaukee - corrugated wardrobes, dish barrels with cell kits, tape dispensers that actually cut clean. For customers who’ve rented a Budget Truck Rental or U-Pack container and need loading help, we supply the same materials we use on our own trucks. Everything arrives on branded Milestone vehicles garaged in the metros we serve, not picked up from a big-box store the morning of your pack.
Common Packing Problems We See in Stratmoor Homes
- Narrow hallways and low garage ceilings in 1960s ranch homes. Boxes that fit fine in a modern Colorado Springs build won’t make the turn into a Stratmoor attic or past a tight bedroom door. We measure doorways and plan box dimensions before tape touches cardboard.
- DPS weight overages from overpacked books and tools. Military families sometimes pack dense items themselves and hit government limits. We weigh as we pack, flag heavy categories early, and help redistribute before the DPS scale surprises you.
- Weather damage from unprotected outdoor staging. Stratmoor’s 6,000-foot elevation brings late-May snow and July afternoon thunderstorms that appear fast from Cheyenne Mountain. We shrink-wrap palletized loads and keep packed inventory under cover, not on open driveways.
- Undersized doorways on attached garages. Many Stratmoor ranches have original 32-inch exterior doors that predate modern furniture. We disassemble, pad, and reassemble on-site rather than force a fit that damages your piece or your doorframe.

FAQs - Packing Services in Stratmoor
Yes. We pack for Defense Personal Property System (DPS) moves regularly and understand government bill-of-lading requirements, weight-allowance structures, and the documentation Fort Carson families need. Our crews have packed Stratmoor homes for PCS orders to Germany, Korea, and domestic bases nationwide. Call (855) 890-3455 to discuss your specific DPS timeline and get a binding quote that won’t affect your weight allowance planning.
Yes, and we typically build a custom box or crate on-site rather than using a generic flat-screen kit that may not fit your doorway. For a 60-inch TV in a Stratmoor ranch with narrow halls, we’ll measure the turn radius and hinge the crate if needed, as we did for the Holbein Avenue pack last June. The crate runs $200-$900 depending on dimensions and interior padding. Call for a specific quote.
Book 4-6 weeks out, pack weather-sensitive items early in the day before afternoon thunderstorms build, and let us weigh dense categories (books, tools, collectibles) against your DPS limit as we go. June and July are peak PCS season in Stratmoor; our calendar fills, but we answer calls 24/7 and will put you on standby if a slot opens. The binding quote holds your rate even if market demand spikes.
We provide all materials as part of our service rather than selling retail supplies separately. Every full-service pack includes free wardrobe boxes; additional dish barrels, mirror cartons, and specialty containers are supplied at cost within your quoted range. For DIY packers using U-Pack or Budget Truck Rental, we can include materials in a labor-only loading quote. Call (855) 890-3455 to arrange.
We shrink-wrap palletized loads and stage packed inventory inside the home, garage, or covered truck - never on open driveways. Stratmoor’s elevation at 6,000 feet makes late-spring snow and summer thunderstorms more sudden and severe than in lower Front Range cities; our crews monitor conditions and accelerate indoor staging when radar shows activity. Your packed goods stay dry. That’s part of the job.
