Dearman Moving and Storage will take care of any packing and unpacking your move requires. You determine the level of service you want, and we’re up to the task. As the most reliable and professional packing and moving company in Ohio, we can manage any size or type of move. We offer a range of packing and unpacking services to suit any budget.

We are a family-owned moving company that has respect for your possessions. We guarantee prompt, efficient service from well-trained packers who respect your belongings, whether they’re from your home or business. Our only goal is for you to have a great move with minimal stress and worry.

Our staff is dedicated to making your move a perfectly comfortable, relaxing experience with thorough, professional moving and packing services. We exercise great care in packing your goods, using the right containers and wrapping materials designed specifically for the type of items to be moved. Our goal is to ensure that no goods are damaged or broken during the move.

Our packing and unpacking services are available throughout Ohio, including the cities of Columbus and Cleveland.

Many people move using weak “buffer” material or boxes that are years old and have been used many times. While this reduces cost, it’s not always what’s best for your belongings. Newspapers aren't as protective as bubble wrap and boxes deteriorate over time, especially in a damp basement.

We use quality packing supplies and wrapping techniques to ensure that your possessions are safe, no matter how far you move. We’ll bring these packaging supplies with us, and they are included in our packing services, so you do not have to purchase any packaging materials yourself.

The cost of hiring professional packers depends on a variety of factors.

1. Volume of items to pack - How many things do you have, or how many rooms do you need packed? The higher volume of goods, the more time it’ll take, the more crew members we need, and the higher the cost.
2. Type of items being packed - Are there specialty items that need specific boxes? Fragile items, like a chandelier or furniture with glass doors? We need to take extra care of these items, so we’ll spend extra time and supplies wrapping them properly.
3. Packing and/or unpacking - Are we packing only or traveling to your next destination and unpacking as well? Obviously, helping on both sides of the move will be more costly than choosing just one service.

Packing is probably the most arduous task when moving from one place to the next, and we’re the packing and moving company in Ohio that can help lighten your load. We provide a range of services, including wrapping items, boxing them, labeling, packing, and unpacking at your destination. If you are going to pack yourself, here are a few ideas for preparing your items and packing tips to help you get started:

Layer boxes with padding

It helps if you started packing by layering each box with household items like towels or blankets, newspapers, and even bubble wrap. This will help keep your possessions inside the box from breaking.

Pack “in-kind” items together.

Put like items in the same box so it is easier to find, figure out, and organize once you start unpacking.

Label boxes by Item and by Room

Label boxes according to their content and where you want them to go. This will help you determine where items need to be placed when unloading the truck.

Pack Essentials separately

Pack your essentials in a single box or two. Things like first aid kits, medications, paper plates and utensils, a change of clothes, and personal hygiene items should be easily accessible in your essentials box.

Avoid overfilling boxes

It is tempting to fill boxes to the brim when packing, but they become harder to carry and impossible to stack when overflowing. On top of being overly heavy, overfilled boxes can easily spill if you trip by accident, possibly causing more issues and damaging your belongings.

We Can Help You with a Long-Distance Move

Our packing services are especially beneficial for those moving out of state, as you can easily move ahead of time with a few essentials, get settled, and have your stuff moved afterward. This is especially helpful for those moving for work when time is of the essence. This option is often more cost-effective than traveling back and forth to take care of packing, unpacking, and moving by yourself.

We Help You Save Time

As we already mentioned above, packing is one of the most tedious parts of moving. It is especially challenging and time-consuming to pack and move if you don’t have friends or family nearby to help. Instead of leaving room for frustration, we can help you save time by packing and unpacking your items on your behalf, relieving stress, and letting you know you’re going to be ready on time.
