Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Worthington’s Preferred Packing Services Company
Worthington homeowners don’t gamble with movers who learn the job on their clock. Dale Whitmore founded Milestone Moving Co. in 2006 with a simple rule: put the quote in writing after seeing the actual home, then send a crew that answers to us, not a staffing app. We’ve served the Worthington market for over 20 years, and our trucks are stocked and ready for the specific challenges this town throws at us.
Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and on our own payroll. They train to headquarters standards, not whatever a day laborer claims to know. When we pack a Federal-era home on High Street, we bring door jamb protectors, Masonite floor runners for those irreplaceable wide-plank hardwoods, and the patience to hand-carry everything across brick sidewalks because street parking won’t allow a closer approach. Out-of-town companies get caught off-guard by that 50-foot carry. We quote it upfront.
Every full-service pack includes free wardrobe boxes and is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If anything we packed isn’t right, one call brings a crew or a check within 90 days of delivery. No claim forms that disappear. No subcontractors. And a live person answers that call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Current offer: $250 off moves over $2,500, plus a free in-home or video estimate.
Our Packing Services in Worthington
Full Packing Service
A full pack of a 3-bedroom home in Worthington runs $900-$1,600, and we typically finish in one day. But “typical” doesn’t apply to much of Worthington’s housing stock. In the Old Worthington historic district, we pack for exits, not entrances. Those Federal and Greek Revival homes have doorways under 32 inches, steep narrow staircases, and no attached garages. Our crew surveys every access point before the first box is sealed. We pack room by room, label for the tight turns ahead, and stage everything for the hand-carry to the truck. In mid-century ranches around Worthington Hills, the challenge flips: low-clearance attached garages and split-level layouts mean we pack with the final furniture routing in mind, not just what fits in a box.

Partial Packing
Some Worthington customers pack the easy rooms themselves and hand us the hard stuff: kitchens, garages, attics full of who-knows-what. We’re glad to take it. We’ll pack whatever you don’t want to touch, and we’ll do it with the same binding quote and same crew standards. Partial packing in Worthington typically falls in the lower half of our $300-$1,600 range, depending on volume and complexity. Call for a custom scope.

Fragile & Art Packing
Worthington’s historic homes hold historic things. Art packing runs $50-$150 per item, and we build the protection to the piece, not to a standard kit. Mirrors over mantels in Greek Revival parlors. Oil paintings in narrow stairwell landings where they’ve hung for generations. We use acid-free paper, custom-built cardboard corners, and double-walled boxes sized to the frame. For pieces that won’t survive standard boxing, we move to custom crating.

Custom Crating
A custom crate for a grandfather clock or comparable piece in Worthington costs $150-$300. Because Worthington’s historic core has no alleys and some homes are set back less than 10 feet from the street, our packers must use blanket-wrap and shrink-wrap techniques on furniture that gets carried through narrow 19th-century doorways, a process that would be unnecessary in newer suburbs like Dublin. When a piece is too fragile even for that, we build a crate on-site. We recently packed a full Colonial Hills split-level where the homeowner’s 1950s-era furniture had to be eased out through a 28-inch basement doorway. Our crew custom-crated the grandfather clock and wrapped every piece in moving blankets and stretch wrap to protect it from the tight turn, then hand-carried it up the steep driveway to the truck because the low-clearance garage was too tight. The homeowner was amazed we could get the china cabinet out without a scratch.

Unpacking Service
We don’t drop boxes and run. Our unpacking service puts your kitchen back in working order, makes up the beds, and hauls away the debris. For homes near the Worthington square where parking is restricted, we coordinate the unpacking window with the same logistical planning we used for the pack. One crew, start to finish.

Packing Supplies & Boxes
We stock Uline-grade supplies and Milwaukee-branded tape dispensers on every truck. For Worthington’s brick sidewalks and long carries, we reinforce boxes with extra tape layers - regular tape fails when a box gets dragged across rough brick. We sell supplies a la carte or include them in full-service quotes. Free wardrobe boxes come with every full-service move.

Trusted Equipment & Materials We Use in Worthington
We don’t guess at materials. Our trucks carry Uline double-walled dish barrels, Milwaukee tape guns for consistent sealing pressure, and custom-cut Masonite floor protection for Worthington’s historic hardwoods. For Budget Truck Rental or U-Pack customers who are self-moving but want professional-grade packing, we sell the same supplies our crews use. Everything is in stock locally, so if you need more mid-pack, we’re not ordering from three states away. Fast turnaround because the materials are already here.
Common Packing Problems We See in Worthington Homes
- Assuming a standard box fits through historic doorways. We custom-crate or repack oversized items after measuring the actual egress. That 19th-century doorway on High Street is 28 inches wide, not 36. We find out before we seal the box.
- Using regular tape on boxes that get dragged over brick sidewalks near the square. We reinforce with extra layers. A popped seam on a china barrel is not a lesson anyone wants to learn on those bricks.
- Not accounting for narrow staircases when planning packing order. We pack for exits, not entrance. The basement stairs in a Colonial Hills split-level are too tight for large appliances, so we pack and crate accordingly, staging everything for the route that actually works.
- Ignoring winter conditions that extend well into March. Central Ohio winters bring ice and snow from December through March, and Worthington’s dense canopy of century-old oaks and maples means shaded streets stay icy longer than open suburban roads. We protect hardwood floors and antiques with extra padding and moisture barriers during winter moves, and we watch for saturated ground on small, heavily landscaped lots in late spring that can make dolly paths muddy and risk lawn damage owners take seriously.
