Full Packing Service in St. Louis | First Place Moves

Move day rides on a stack of choices made days earlier, in the kitchen, at the linen closet, around the china hutch. Box a home with care and the truck loads in a steady rhythm, holds still over the I-55 expansion joints, and unpacks one labeled room at a time. Throw it together in liquor-store cardboard and trash bags the night before, and you spend the morning re-taping splits and hunting for the coffee maker while the meter runs. Our crew blankets the furniture on every job anyway, but a full pack means we pull up with cartons, paper, tape, and a full team, then close out the cabinets, the closets, the framed pieces, and the stemware, leaving the loading as the only thing still waiting on the trucks. A Shaw bungalow, a Webster Groves two-story, a Washington Avenue loft, Gina runs the same drill on each, scaled to the square footage and the day you have to clear out.

How a genuine full pack goes

It is not a quilt tossed over the dresser and a prayer. Our people show up with the whole carton lineup, dish packs divided into cells, tall wardrobe boxes that keep the closet on its hangers, and rolls of clean newsprint plus bubble for anything that can crack. Saucers stand on edge the way records do, each glass gets rolled by itself, a reading lamp or a wall print gets boxed solo, and a flat-screen rides in a fitted carton instead of bare under somebody’s arm. We write the room it belongs to right on the side of every carton, and a numbered count sheet keeps the tally straight from the first box to the last. Filling them full, even, and tight is the part the crew takes pride in, since a box that does not shift makes fewer trips up the stairs and a faster carry to the curb. The packing comes as one flat figure set by the size of the home and folded straight into your move price, and you decide whether the whole house goes on the list or only the spots you would rather skip, which for most St. Louis families lands on the kitchen and the china hutch.

The way a St. Louis place lets you in and out is exactly why honest packing pays off. A Soulard walk-up with a one-way street out front and a steep, drawn-out stair-carry is no place for a carton that lets go halfway down, and a downtown loft that hands you one elevator window wants a load already sealed and stacked the moment the gate rolls up. Boxes filled tight and even let the crew move quicker, which keeps the hourly clock in check and protects that booked elevator slot. A Kirkwood four-bedroom bound for storage or one studio kitchen near SLU, every carton is built to take the ride, and we plan the route in and out before a single roll of tape comes off.
