We’ve packed homes along Union Hill Road and Novelty Hill Road since 2006. We know the plateau’s steep private driveways, its wetter-than-Seattle winters, and the oversized great-room furniture that fills homes built during the 2000s and 2010s build-out. That local knowledge changes how we pack - and what we charge.

Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Union Hill-Novelty Hill’s Preferred Packing Services Company
Union Hill-Novelty Hill homeowners don’t hire packers to save time. They hire packers because a Steinway grand, a crystal chandelier, or a built-in bookshelf with hand-finished crown molding cannot be replaced at Target. Our reputation on the plateau rests on one fact: we pack it like it’s ours, and we back it for 90 days after delivery.
Our crews have packed homes from the private spurs off Novelty Hill Road to the newer developments near West Lake Sammamish. Dale Whitmore, who leads Milestone Moving Co., personally reviews binding quotes for plateau jobs to confirm we’ve accounted for shuttle carries and extended driveway access. Customers in 98053 call us back because the number we write down is the number they pay - no ramp surprise, no hostage truck.
We answer the phone live, 24 hours a day. Before your move, during your move, and if something isn’t right 60 days after delivery. One call brings a crew or a check. Not a claim form that disappears into a third-party black hole.
Our Packing Services in Union Hill-Novelty Hill
Full Packing Service
A typical full packing service in Union Hill-Novelty Hill runs $300-$1,600, depending on home size and the density of your household. For the 3,000-5,000+ sq ft homes that dominate this plateau, we send a team of background-checked, uniformed packers for one or two days before move day. We inventory per room, pack fragile items first, and sequence boxes in waves so the shortest-distance carry protects your glass and art during those long hauls down steep driveways.
From a 5,000-sq-ft home on a private spur off Union Hill Road, our crew packed a full house for a Microsoft family’s cross-country move, including a Steinway grand and a wall of built-in bookshelves with delicate crown molding. We used custom crating for the chandeliers and padded every doorway transition with extra layers due to the rain-soaked wooden thresholds, ensuring zero scratches on those high-end floors.
Partial Packing
Many Union Hill-Novelty Hill customers pack their own closets and linens but hire us for kitchens, home offices, and great rooms with oversized sectionals. We scope partial jobs during your free in-home or video estimate, then pack only what you designate - no minimum hour games, no pressure to add rooms. The quote is binding.
Unpacking Service
Our unpacking crews follow your move to the new address, whether that’s across Redmond or across the country. We break down boxes, dispose of packing materials, and place items per your floor plan. For plateau families relocating under corporate relocation packages - common here given the Microsoft and Amazon concentration - we coordinate directly with your relocation coordinator and provide itemized documentation for reimbursement.
Fragile & Art Packing
The open-plan great rooms in Union Hill-Novelty Hill homes often feature oversized art, glass tabletops, and delicate decor that standard box sizes don’t accommodate. We build custom foam enclosures and double-wall cartons on site. For pieces requiring still more protection - chandeliers, marble, antiques - we move to custom crating.
Custom Crating
Custom crating in Union Hill-Novelty Hill is priced per piece after visual assessment. We measure, build, and foam-line wooden crates in our shop or on your driveway, depending on access. The plateau’s steep, non-looping cul-de-sacs off Novelty Hill Road complicate crating logistics; we pre-scout turnaround radius on Google Earth or in person before quoting, so we arrive with the right vehicle and the right crate size. No last-minute shuttle fees. No “we didn’t know” surcharges.
Trusted Brands We Use for Union Hill-Novelty Hill Packing Jobs
We stock Uline corrugated cartons in double-wall and triple-wall grades, Milwaukee cordless tools for on-site crate assembly, and Ryder box trucks with lift gates for plateau jobs where driveways permit. For customers self-packing portions of their move, we can source U-Haul trailer-compatible box kits. Everything we bring is branded, inventoried, and sized for the 3,000+ sq ft homes and heavy sectionals our Union Hill-Novelty Hill crews handle weekly.
Common Packing Problems We See in Union Hill-Novelty Hill Homes
- Long carry damage on steep driveways. Crews underestimate the carry distance from house to truck on steep driveways, so glassware and art get jostled during long hand-carry trains. Our two-tier packing - cushioning plus re-boxing - prevents that.
- PODS and trailer shifts on sloped spurs. Off-site packing in PODS or U-Haul trailers on sloped spurs leads to items shifting. We brace and strap every box load at a level staging point before the truck even arrives.
- Over-packed sectionals, under-protected decor. Because homes are newer with open great rooms, crews often over-pack large sectionals and undersize fragile decor. Our per-room inventory and fragile-first packing sequence solves that mismatch.
- Wet-floor scratches at thresholds. The plateau sits at 400-500 ft elevation in the shadow of the Cascades, collecting noticeably more rainfall and occasional snow-ice events than Seattle proper. Wet winters make wood floors at doorway transitions a slip-and-scratch hazard. We pad and dry continuously throughout the job.
