My tenants used Two Burly Men. They certainly didn't get two Burly men, they got three totally useless youths, who I don't think had ever seen a moving truck before. I watched in disbelief as they worked in slow motion. It took six hours to partially load their truck with a two bed suite. They were only moving a few kilometers and refused to return and collect the balance of the articles they left behind. My tenants had to return with a UHaul to move the balance of their furniture the next day. My tenants had some damage and I had four gouges in my floor from moving a fridge. I feel so sorry for my tenants, they look totally fried.

Couldn’t have asked for more efficient and friendly movers. They were both extremely competent and got the move done in the estimated time. They even set up my bed for me which was extremely helpful and appreciated. I would definitely hire them again.

Tristan and crew (Brandon and Randall) moved our piano in difficult conditions (rainy, slippery wood steps outside) - a job that another company was not able to complete. These guys were all very friendly and professional. I am very thankful for the job they did, and I highly recommend them!

I had the pleasure of working with Manager Tristan Cryer, and assisting mover Brandon Helper. They were extremely well tasked, did not waste time nor energy. Everything went so well, even a small hiccup with logistics on my end was smoothed over by their adaptability. Huge relief to work with them. Will absolutely be using their services in the future.

Flexible Packing Options

Full-Service Packing: We pack your entire home from top to bottom, including all rooms, closets, garage, and storage areas. This is the most comprehensive option and typically takes 1-2 days depending on home size. Everything is professionally wrapped and boxed, ready for safe transport.

Partial Packing: We pack specific rooms or item types while you handle the rest. Common choices include kitchen packing (most time-consuming room), fragile items and artwork, or just the items you're uncomfortable packing yourself. This hybrid approach balances cost savings with professional expertise where it matters most.

Unpacking Services: Many customers choose full packing but forget about unpacking. Our unpacking service has crews unpack boxes, place items in appropriate locations, and remove all packing materials. Most homes are 80% unpacked in a single day, letting you get settled much faster.

Packing & Unpacking FAQs

Packing costs vary by home size and scope. Full-service packing for a 2-bedroom home typically costs $600-$1,200, while a 3-bedroom home costs $1,200-$2,000. This includes all labor, materials (boxes, tape, paper, bubble wrap), and disposal of packing materials. Partial packing (just kitchen or fragile items) costs $300-$800. Unpacking services cost about 50% of packing costs since they're faster. Many customers find the time saved and stress reduced worth every penny.
Professional packing is much faster than DIY. A 2-bedroom home typically takes 4-6 hours with a 2-person crew, while a 3-bedroom takes 6-8 hours. Large 4-bedroom homes might take 1-2 full days. We usually schedule packing the day before your move, so everything is ready for the moving crew. What takes you 2-4 weeks of evenings and weekends, we complete in a day or two.
Yes! Professional packing includes all materials - boxes of all sizes, packing tape, packing paper, bubble wrap, furniture blankets, and specialty materials for artwork, mirrors, and electronics. We bring more than enough supplies and you never see a separate charge for materials. This is unlike DIY packing where you must estimate, purchase, and often end up short or with too many supplies.
Absolutely! Unpacking services are increasingly popular. After delivery to your new home, our crew unpacks boxes in each room, places items on shelves, in drawers, and cabinets according to your direction, and removes all boxes and packing materials. Most homes are 80% unpacked in a single day. You avoid weeks of living among boxes and can enjoy your new home immediately. Unpacking typically costs about half of packing since it's faster.
We use a comprehensive labeling system. Each box is labeled with the room name, a general description of contents, and any special handling instructions (fragile, this side up, etc.). Many customers choose our color-coded label system where each room gets a specific color, making it instantly clear where boxes go. We also provide you with a master inventory list showing box numbers and contents for easy reference.
Most customers prefer to pack personal items like important documents, jewelry, medications, and sentimental items themselves. We're professional and trustworthy, but you'll have more peace of mind packing these yourself in a clearly marked box you'll transport personally. We can pack everything else including clothing, toiletries, and general household items. Many people also pack a personal 'first night' box with essentials for the first 24 hours in the new home.
