Packing is the part of a move that eats whole weekends. Our Schaumburg crews bring the boxes, tape, and wrap to you and pack the whole house or just the rooms you’d rather not touch.
What our packing crews cover
Cole Ramirez leads packing for Alsam, and his crew works room by room with materials matched to what’s inside the box. You decide the scope — wall-to-wall or a single kitchen.
- Full-house pack: every room boxed, labeled by room, and inventoried before the truck arrives
- Partial pack: kitchens, china cabinets, garages, or art — the rooms most people dread
- Dish-packs and cell kits for glassware, stemware, and ceramics
- Mirror and TV cartons, plus picture/art boxes for framed pieces
- Wardrobe boxes so hanging clothes move straight from closet to truck
- Unpacking on the other end if you want the boxes gone the same day
Built for a Chicago winter move
Fragiles ride through cold, salt spray, and rough I-90 expansion joints. We double-box stemware and use heavy-duty wrap and corner blocks so nothing shifts when the truck hits frost heaves on Route 53 or I-290.
How a full pack runs
- Walkthrough first. We count rooms and breakables so your flat written rate includes the packing labor and materials — no surprise box charges.
- Pack day before load day. For most homes we pack the day before the move so the morning crew can load fast and beat rush hour.
- Label and inventory. Every carton is marked by destination room; high-value items get logged.
- Same coverage as the move. Boxes we pack carry the same $1M cargo protection as everything else on the truck.
Who books full packing in the Northwest Suburbs
It’s the busy households — Woodfield-corridor condos, Hoffman Estates families, and downsizers in Palatine who simply don’t have a free weekend before closing.
