PARTIAL PACKING IN ROANOKE
PACK WHAT YOU WANT, LEAVE THE REST TO US
Partial packing puts you in control. Maybe you’ve got the clothes and books handled but want a pro on the glassware, electronics, and that wall of framed photos. Just point us to the parts you’d rather not tackle, and our crew wraps, boxes, and labels them with the same care we’d give a full-home job.
And because the crew that packs those tricky items is the same one that loads and moves everything, it all stays coordinated: no outside packers, no strangers in your space, no confusion about who packed what. Family owned and operated right here in the Roanoke Valley.
PARTIAL PACKING, DONE YOUR WAY
You decide how much help you need, we handle the rest. Here’s how our partial packing works, and the kinds of items customers most often hand over.
HOW PARTIAL PACKING WORKS
Tell us which rooms or items you’d like us to pack, and we show up with the right supplies to handle them: wrapping, boxing, and labeling only what you’ve asked.
Everything else stays yours to pack on your own schedule. It’s the flexible middle ground: you save on the parts you’re comfortable doing, and lean on us for the fragile, heavy, or time-consuming items, all handled by the same crew that moves you.
WHAT WE'RE OFTEN ASKED TO PACK
Most people keep the simple stuff and hand us the headaches: the breakables, the valuables, and the things that are a pain to pack safely. Our crew has the materials and know-how to protect whatever you’d rather not risk. Not sure whether to pack something yourself or leave it to us? Ask your Moving Consultant and we’ll help you split the list.
- Dishes, glassware, and fine china
- Electronics, TVs, and cables
- Artwork, mirrors, and framed photos
- Fragile décor and keepsakes
- Lamps and light fixtures
- Kitchen small appliances and cookware
- Antiques and specialty pieces (padded and secured)
- Bulky or awkward-to-box items
- Just the rooms you'd rather skip
PACKING HELP THAT FLEXES TO YOUR NEEDS
Partial packing from Big Lick Moving fits neatly into any local or long-distance move around the Roanoke Valley. Do as much as you like yourself, then let our crew step in for the pieces you’d rather not chance, a smart way to save time without handing over the whole job.
We bring the right supplies for what you’ve assigned us, pack and label those items carefully, then load and move everything together. No over-buying boxes, no risking the breakables, no doing the hardest part alone. One trusted crew ties it all together.
WHEN PARTIAL PACKING MAKES SENSE
- Comfortable packing most things
- Want help with just the breakables
- Short on time for the tricky rooms
- Nervous about moving electronics
- Only the kitchen feels overwhelming
- Working with a tighter budget
- Need a hand with heavy, awkward items
- Ran out of time before moving day
- Want pros on your high-value pieces
HOW PARTIAL PACKING KEEPS YOUR MOVE ON TRACK
Even packing just the hard parts can make the whole move smoother. Our crew wraps each fragile item you hand over, cushions every box so nothing shifts, and labels them clearly, so the risky pieces travel safe, load in fast, and slot right in with the boxes you packed yourself.
Every list looks different, so we scope only what you’ve asked us to handle and quote it clearly up front. Want to add a room or two as moving day nears? Just say the word, we’ll adjust the plan without any surprises.
PARTIAL PACKING FAQ
What is partial packing?
It’s packing help on your terms, we pack only the rooms or items you choose, like fragile or bulky things, and you handle the rest yourself. A flexible middle ground between DIY and full-service.
Can I decide exactly what you pack?
Absolutely. Point us to specific rooms, categories, or individual items, the china, the TVs, the garage, and we’ll pack just those. You keep everything else on your own schedule.
Do you bring packing materials for partial jobs?
Yes. Our crew arrives with the boxes, paper, bubble wrap, tape, and padding needed for the items you’ve assigned us, so you’re not buying supplies for the parts we handle.
Is partial packing cheaper than full-service?
Usually, since you’re only paying for what you hand over. It’s a good way to protect your most fragile or valuable items while keeping costs down on the simpler stuff.
How do you protect the fragile items I give you?
Each delicate piece is individually wrapped, cushioned, and boxed with plenty of padding, then labeled fragile, the same careful method we’d use on a full-home pack.
Can I add more to the list later?
Of course. If you run short on time before moving day, just let us know and we’ll pick up whatever rooms or items you didn’t get to.
ROANOKE RATES OUR PACKERS 5 STARS
We have 150+ reviews on Google!
We received 2 pieces of advertising mail from Big Lick Moving and one of them was a hand written letter to us to support local. We are a military family so our stuff was packed up weeks ago by a contractor of the government BUT had we been given the opportunity to pick our own we would have definitely gone with Big Lick Moving. The hand written letter goes to show how much they value their current and future customers.
Great company and great people! Hard and very efficient workers. Everyone in the company is fabulous to work with. I would especially like to recognize Holden for the many hours we spent together on the phone going over and changing the details of the move over a three month period, and Dylan as supervisor of the moving group and Christian for being the top notch worker of the group! Everyone was fabulous all the way through! Highly recommend Big Lick Moving for all of your moving needs!
Great job! Everything went smoothly and the guys were friendly and helpful. I would definitely use this company again.
