Let my crew pack it the right way
I’m Marvin Caldwell, and packing is where most moving-day damage is either prevented or guaranteed. That’s why the same W-2 crew that loads your truck also packs your home — no outside packing vendor, no mystery hands. We bring all our own materials and wrap a South Charlotte home room by room, then label every carton by its destination room so unloading at the new house is fast and orderly.
From a Blakeney townhome to a gated estate off Rea Road, our Ballantyne moving crew writes the whole job as one flat number up front and holds it — no surprise lines once the truck is loaded.
Ballantyne and Weddington homes are full of things that punish a careless pack: wine-room bottles, estate chandeliers, china cabinets, framed art and mirrors. Those get custom crating and individual wrapping, not a quick toss into a box.
Pack everything or just the hard parts
Some clients want the whole house packed; plenty just want the kitchen, the bar glass and the artwork handled while they do their own closets. I price it to whatever scope you hand me, and I can add unpacking and debris haul-off so you’re not stuck breaking down cartons for a week.
What it costs
Packing labor and materials roll into one binding flat rate written before we start. The hourly rates below are the labor baseline.
