I’m Dale Lawrence, and I added full-service packing because what really exhausts people on a move isn’t the heavy lifting, it’s the endless wrapping and taping. I’ve watched enough move days to know that the family who boxes their own dishes at midnight shows up to the new house frazzled and a couple of glasses short. My crew takes that off your hands, using our own materials, all on one flat rate.
From a historic downtown Martinsburg Victorian to a farmhouse out on a gravel lane, our Eastern Panhandle crew writes the whole job as one flat number up front and holds it — no surprise lines once the truck is loaded.
Packed the way it should be
The men loading your truck are the same ones doing the packing, so there’s no outside vendor and no extra strangers in the house. We show up with the cartons, paper, bubble and dish-packs and work a Panhandle home one room at a time. Dishes go in dish-packs, glassware gets cell dividers, and the framed pieces and mirrors that hang in older Martinsburg homes go into proper mirror boxes instead of a blanket and crossed fingers. Each carton gets marked for its room at the new place so unloading moves quick.
The whole house, or just the tricky rooms
Some folks want every room packed; others just hand off the kitchen, the glassware and the artwork and handle their own closets. Whatever scope you give me, that’s what I price, and I’ll add unpacking and box haul-off so you’re not flattening cardboard for a week once it’s over.
