Our Canby Packing Services

Full-Home Packing

Our most comprehensive option. A team of packers arrives at your Canby home and packs everything from the kitchen cabinets to the bedroom closets. We work room by room, wrapping each item individually and boxing it securely. A typical three-bedroom home takes our crew four to six hours to pack completely. This service is ideal for busy families, professionals with limited time, or anyone who wants the peace of mind of knowing every item is packed by professionals.

Partial Packing

If you are comfortable packing your clothes, books, and everyday items yourself but want professional help with the breakables, partial packing is the right choice. We handle your kitchen glassware, fine china, artwork, mirrors, electronics, and any other items that require special wrapping and padding. You handle the rest at your own pace, and we take care of the items most likely to break in transit.

Fragile and Specialty Packing

Some items need extra attention regardless of whether you choose full or partial packing. We offer standalone fragile packing for artwork, antiques, crystal, collectibles, and electronics. Each piece is individually wrapped, cushioned, and placed in the appropriate box with custom padding. For oversized or unusually shaped items, we build custom crating to ensure safe transport.

Unpacking Services

Arriving at your new home surrounded by a wall of boxes can feel overwhelming. Our unpacking service takes the stress out of settling in. We unbox everything, place items on shelves and in cabinets according to your direction, break down all boxes, and remove the packing materials. Many Canby families add unpacking to their move-day service so they can sleep in a fully set-up home the first night.

Packing Materials and Supplies

All packing materials are included in our service: double-walled boxes in multiple sizes, dish-pack cartons, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, foam pouches, and heavy-duty tape. If you prefer to do your own packing, we can also supply materials separately so you have everything you need without making multiple trips to the store.

Why Professional Packing Makes a Difference

The most common cause of damage during a move is improper packing. Dishes stacked without dividers, glasses wrapped in newspaper instead of foam, and boxes overfilled or underfilled are all recipes for breakage. Our packers are trained in techniques that prevent these issues. We use the right box for every item, the right amount of cushioning, and the right weight limits per box to prevent crushing and shifting during transport.

Professional packing also saves significant time. What takes a family a week of evenings to pack, our crew can complete in a single day. That means less disruption to your daily routine and fewer days living out of boxes before the move. For long-distance moves from Canby, professional packing is especially important because your belongings will spend more time on the road and need to withstand more vibration and movement.

Packing Tips for Canby Homeowners

Even if you plan to hire our packing service, there are a few things you can do ahead of time to make packing day go smoothly. Start by sorting through each room and setting aside items you want to donate, sell, or discard. The less you move, the faster and cheaper the job. This is especially helpful if you are downsizing or moving from a larger home to a smaller one.

Keep important documents, medications, jewelry, and valuables separate. These items should travel with you rather than on the truck. Also, drain and defrost appliances at least 24 hours before move day, and empty cleaning supplies and other liquids that could spill during transport.

If you have children or pets, plan for them to be out of the house during packing day. A calm, clear workspace helps our crew work faster and reduces the risk of small items being missed or stepped on during the bustle of packing.

Our Packing Process

Step 1: Assessment

We walk through your home to assess the scope of work, identify fragile or specialty items, and determine how many packers and materials are needed. This helps us give you an accurate time and cost estimate before we begin.

Step 2: Room-by-Room Packing

Our crew works systematically through your home, starting with the rooms you use least and finishing with the kitchen and daily essentials. Every box is labeled with its room destination and a brief contents description. Fragile items are marked clearly and packed with extra protection.

Step 3: Final Walkthrough

Before we leave, we do a complete walkthrough with you to confirm every room has been packed and nothing has been overlooked. We also review the box labels and placement so you know exactly where everything is for unpacking day.

Frequently Asked Questions — Canby Packing Services

How much does packing cost in Canby?

Packing is billed hourly based on the number of packers and the time required. A full-home pack for a three-bedroom house typically takes four to six hours. Partial packing and fragile-only packing cost less because they require fewer hours. Contact us for a specific estimate based on your home.

Do you provide the packing materials?

Yes. All packing materials are included: boxes, tape, bubble wrap, packing paper, wardrobe boxes, dish-pack cartons, and foam pouches. You do not need to purchase or supply anything.

Can you pack one day and move the next?

Absolutely. This is actually our recommended approach for larger homes. We pack everything on day one and return with the moving crew on day two. This two-day schedule keeps both days efficient and reduces the chance of rushed packing.

What if I have already packed some things myself?

No problem. We can pick up where you left off and pack the remaining rooms or items. Just let us know what is done and what still needs attention, and we will handle the rest.

Do you remove the packing materials after unpacking?

Yes. If you add our unpacking service, we break down all boxes, collect the packing paper and materials, and take everything with us when we leave. Your new home will be clean and box-free.
