Unpacking Service: We don't leave until you're home
Delivery day shouldn't mean a month of living out of boxes. Our unpacking crews place furniture where you want it, unpack your boxes onto counters and shelves, and haul away every scrap of packing material.
How Our Unpacking Service Works
Tell the crew where each piece goes and we'll set it there - beds assembled, sofas positioned, boxes unpacked room by room. You make the decisions; we do the lifting.
When we pull away, the boxes, paper, and tape leave with us. It's the easiest way to feel at home the same week you arrive - and it's how we finish the job the way we started it.

The Last Box Leaves With Us
Unpacking is where most movers hand you a mountain of cardboard and wave goodbye. Ours stay until the home actually works: furniture where you want it, beds ready, boxes gone.
Point at a wall and the sofa goes there. Change your mind and it moves again. You direct - we lift, assemble, unpack, and haul away the mess.

How to Get the Most From Unpack Day
Walk the crew through first
A five-minute tour - 'sofa there, dresser here, boxes in that corner' - sets the plan for the whole visit. You only have to say it once.
Start with the kitchen
It's the room that makes a house livable. We unpack it first onto counters and shelves so you're cooking the same night, not hunting for a pan.
Flag the do-not-open boxes
Personal boxes you'd rather unpack yourself? Mark them or point them out and they go to the right room, sealed exactly as they arrived.
Change your mind freely
Furniture placement isn't final until you say so. If the sofa looks wrong on that wall, say the word while we're there - moving it is our job, not yours.
With Unpacking vs. Without
The move is the same either way - the difference is what your first week in the new home looks like.
| Delivery only | Delivery + unpacking | |
|---|---|---|
| Night one | Hunting for sheets in a box maze | Beds assembled and made |
| The cardboard | Weeks of flattening and disposal | Gone when we leave |
| Furniture assembly | You and an allen key | Included - we rebuilt what we took apart |
| Feeling settled | Weeks to a month | Days |
| Your back | On its own | We do the lifting |

Unpacking Service Questions
Usually yes - the crew unloads, places furniture, and unpacks in one visit. For larger homes we can schedule a next-day unpacking session so you're never rushed.
Yes. Anything our crew took apart for transport - bed frames, dining tables, shelving - gets reassembled and placed where you want it, included in the service.
We flatten and remove every box, plus the paper and bubble wrap, and recycle what we can. You're left with a home, not a cardboard mountain.
Of course - even if you packed yourself, we're happy to do the unpacking on delivery. Just add it to your quote.
