Packing might seem simple at first—until you’re halfway through your fifth box and realize you’ve misplaced your passport, cracked a dish, or overloaded your back with a box full of books. Whether you’re moving across the street or across the country, packing is often where the stress begins. At Red Carpet Moving, we’re here to make sure it ends there.
We know how easy it is to fall into common packing traps. From skipping the essentials like a first aid kit or chargers to procrastinating until the day before your move, these mistakes can make the process feel chaotic. It’s also surprisingly easy to forget to label boxes properly or measure furniture ahead of time, leading to confusion and wasted time on moving day.
That’s why we provide full-service and partial packing options tailored for families and businesses across Washington, DC. Our team uses top-quality materials like durable boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, and heavy-duty tape to ensure your belongings are protected from point A to point B. Fragile items like electronics, artwork, and china receive special care, while large furniture is safely wrapped in thick moving blankets.
Flexible, expert packing support
Not everyone needs help with the entire house—and that’s okay. If you prefer to do some of the packing yourself but want us to handle delicate or high-value items, we’ve got you covered. Whether it’s the kitchen, attic, or just your collectibles, we’ll step in where you need us most. That flexibility gives you control while still taking the pressure off your shoulders.
What sets professional packers apart isn’t just the tools we bring—it’s how we work. Our trained team packs quickly, efficiently, and with great attention to detail. One of our crew members can pack 5 to 6 boxes an hour, often finishing entire homes in just a day. That means no dragging out the process over multiple weekends and no frantic runs for more tape. We show up with everything needed and leave you with peace of mind.
If you’re moving long distance, using a professional packing team is even more important. With more time in transit and a greater chance of exposure to weather or rough handling, fragile items need extra care. Our packing methods and materials are designed to absorb shocks, resist moisture, and prevent items from shifting around during the trip. From custom crating for valuable pieces to disassembling and reassembling furniture, we make sure every item arrives intact.
Unpacking and support made easy
Our packing services don’t end at the door, either. Once we arrive at your new home, we can unpack your belongings, place them where they belong, and haul away any used materials, so you don’t have to dig through boxes for a phone charger or clean up empty cartons when you’re already tired.
Naturally, people ask about cost. The price of professional packing services can vary depending on the size of your home, the number of items, and the level of service you need. While this adds to the overall moving budget, the time, energy, and damage you’ll save more than justify the investment.
If you’re planning a move in or out of Washington, DC, hiring Red Carpet Moving’s trusted team ensures you don’t have to go through it alone. We bring the experience, materials, and strategy to take the stress out of packing, giving you the freedom to focus on settling in, not sorting through broken glass or mismatched boxes. Let us handle the packing, so you can enjoy the move.
