Miami Packing Services: Full-Home, Partial & Fragile-Only

Full Packing vs. Partial Packing: Which One Do You Actually Need

Not everyone needs the whole house boxed by a crew. Some people want us to touch nothing but the kitchen and the closet full of shoes. Both are normal requests, and both are billed the same way — by the hour, with the crew size you choose.

Full packing makes sense if you’re short on time, moving a large household, or just don’t want to spend a weekend wrapping glassware in newspaper. A crew works room by room — kitchen first since dishes, glasses, and small appliances take the longest, then bedrooms, then living areas and garage. Everything gets boxed, taped, and labeled with its destination room before it goes on the truck.

Partial packing is for the person who’s fine boxing up clothes and books themselves but wants professionals on the stuff that actually breaks: china, stemware, framed art, electronics, or a wine collection. You tell us which rooms or categories, we quote the hours, and you handle the rest on your own schedule.

Kitchens and Glassware

Kitchens are almost always the slowest room to pack and the easiest to get wrong. Dishes need dish-pack barrels with cell dividers or heavy layers of packing paper between each plate. Glasses and stemware need individual wrapping, not just a box of newspaper on top. Small appliances need their cords secured and any loose parts (blender blades, mixer attachments) boxed separately so they don’t rattle around and crack something on the drive over.

Fine Art, Mirrors & Glass

Framed art and mirrors travel flat, never leaned against a wall in the truck, with corner protectors on every edge and either a flat crate or heavy cardboard sandwiching the glass. Glass tabletops and shelving get their own glass-safe cartons. If you’ve got an oversized piece, a gallery-style frame, or anything you’d call irreplaceable, flag it when you book — the crew brings the right materials instead of improvising on-site.

Closets and Wardrobes

Closet packing is where wardrobe boxes earn their keep: clothes go straight from the closet rod onto a hanging bar inside the box, no folding, no wrinkling, and they come off the truck ready to hang back up. Shoes, folded items, and accessories get standard boxes, labeled by room so unpacking doesn’t turn into a scavenger hunt.

What’s Actually Included, Tier by Tier

Next Haven Movers prices by crew size: $99/hr for 2 movers + truck (3-hour minimum), $149/hr for 3 movers (3-hour minimum), $199/hr for 4 movers (4-hour minimum). Truck, fuel and the first 20 miles are included at every crew size, and packing labor is billed at that same hourly rate — there is no second packing-labor charge. Packing materials are the one thing billed on top, and only in the quantities your move actually uses: boxes from $5, tape $5 a roll, bubble wrap $25 a roll, packing paper $30 a bundle, all itemized on your invoice. That is deliberate. “Materials included” is how a low hourly rate quietly gets padded — a studio needing eight boxes should not be subsidizing a four-bedroom house burning through sixty. Pack some rooms yourself or supply your own boxes and that line simply gets smaller.

Serving Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach

Packing crews cover the same footprint as our moving service: Coral Gables and Brickell high-rises and older single-family homes, Miami Beach condos, Aventura luxury units, and Kendall’s larger suburban households. Condo moves usually mean more fragile-only requests (glassware, electronics, art); house moves in places like Kendall tend to skew toward full-home packing simply because there’s more square footage to cover.
