What Does Packing Service Include in Scarsdale?

A full packing service from Scarsdale movers covers these items:

Materials provided on-site: standard moving boxes (small, medium, large), dish pack boxes (double-walled for kitchen fragile items), wardrobe boxes with hanging bars for clothing, cell dividers for glasses and stemware, packing paper (not newspaper), bubble wrap for electronics and art, stretch wrap for furniture and appliances, mattress bags, and tape. You don't need to source a single box yourself.

Labor scope: the crew packs every drawer, closet, cabinet, and shelf. Each box is labeled with the destination room and a brief contents description so nothing is a mystery on unpack day. Fragile items are individually wrapped in paper or bubble wrap before boxing. Heavy items go at the bottom of boxes; lighter items on top. Boxes are packed to a consistent weight — nothing over 50 lbs — so unloading is safe.

Furniture preparation: all upholstered furniture (sofas, mattresses, chairs) gets shrink-wrapped. Hard furniture (tables, dressers, bookshelves) gets padded with moving blankets. Mirror frames and artwork get corner protectors plus blanket-wrap.

What's typically not included unless specified: disassembly of built-in furniture, removal of wall-mounted TVs or artwork, packing of hazardous materials (paint, propane, cleaning chemicals), or packing of items in sheds, garages, and outdoor spaces. Discuss scope when booking.

Unpacking service: available same-day at destination or on a separate date. The crew unpacks boxes into rooms, places items on shelves, and removes all packing materials. This takes 2–4 hours for most Scarsdale homes.
