Service Details

Unpacking services that leave you moved-in, not just moved

Most movers drop the last box and drive off. We stay and open them. Since 2013 we have unpacked New York homes room by room, shelving the kitchen, making the beds, and flattening the empties before we leave. The unpacking services nyc families book with us turn a two-week cardboard headache into an afternoon.

What unpacking with us covers

You set the pace and the depth. Some clients want every cabinet loaded and every picture leaning against the right wall; others just want the kitchen and closets done so they can breathe. We scope it to that.

  • Boxes opened and emptied room by room, contents placed where you point
  • Kitchen and closets loaded plates in the cabinet, clothes on the rod
  • Furniture reassembled and set beds, tables, and shelving put back together
  • Packing paper, empty boxes, and stretch wrap gathered and hauled off
  • A quick walk-through so nothing is left buried at the bottom of a carton

Working Process

How our unpacking service works

Same simple flow as the move itself. Tell us the size of the job, we bring the crew, and you spend the day deciding where things go instead of wrestling tape.

Get your quote
Send your home size and how deep you want the unpack. We reply with an upfront price, hourly or flat.
Plan the day
We confirm your date and file the building COI if your co-op or rental needs one for crew access.
Unpacking day
The crew opens boxes room by room, places and reassembles, and checks in with you before anything final.
Debris gone
Empty boxes and paper collected and removed, so you are not stuck driving cardboard to the curb for a week.

Why book unpacking, not just moving

Anyone can carry a box up the stairs. Fewer crews will stay, open it, and put your life back together in the right order. That is the part people remember.

Why Choose Us
One crew, start to finish

Because our packers and movers are in-house W-2 staff, the same people who wrapped your glassware can be the ones unwrapping it. No handoff, no strangers learning your kitchen. We have done this across every borough since 2013, and the debris leaves with us, which is the detail most companies quietly skip.

  • Upfront pricing. Hourly or a flat quote for the unpack, agreed before we start. It does not creep once the boxes are open.
  • Debris removal included in the plan. We gather the empty boxes and paper and haul them off, so your hallway is not a recycling pile.
  • Placed, not dumped. Things go where you want them, furniture gets reassembled, and we ask before we commit the awkward stuff.
  • COI handled. If your building requires a certificate for the unpacking crew, we file it ahead of the date.

These guys are awesome. I didn't feel like I was getting scammed like with some other companies. The rate was great and they were so efficient. 3 hours for an entire 1 bedroom! Tony and the guys were very careful with my furniture and boxes. The most efficient and skilled movers! Will definitely use again.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do unpacking services cost in NYC?
It scales with home size and how much you want unpacked. A one-bedroom kitchen-and-closets unpack is a short job; a full house takes longer. We quote it upfront, hourly or flat, once you tell us the scope, and hauling the empty boxes is built into that plan.
Do you take away the empty boxes and packing paper?
Yes. Collecting and removing the debris is part of the unpack. You will not be left flattening cardboard and hunting for a recycling day. If you have a mountain of material from another mover, tell us and we will size the haul.
Can you just unpack the kitchen and bedrooms?
Absolutely. A partial unpack is common. Plenty of clients want the kitchen loaded and the beds made so night one is easy, then handle books and decor themselves. We scope to the rooms you name.
Do you unpack the same day you move me in?
We can. If we are doing your move, the crew can keep going and start unpacking once the truck is empty. If you want a day to settle first, we come back on a date that suits you.
Will you reassemble the furniture too?
Yes. Beds, tables, and shelving we broke down for the move get put back together and set in place. Reassembly is part of the job, not a surprise line item after the fact.
