If boxing an entire house sounds like a weekend you would rather not surrender, hand that chore to our packers. A full pack brings a Checkmate crew to your Colorado Springs door loaded with tape rolls, bubble sheets, paper bundles, and a stack of new boxes, and they sweep the home from the top cupboards to the bottom cabinets, the daily shelves and the closet you keep avoiding alike. Hundreds of these jobs in, our team clears that dreaded pantry in a fraction of the time it would steal from you working alone, packed tightly enough to shrug off a hailstorm rolling off the Peak the second it hits the truck.
Each kind of item gets its own treatment. Glassware and plates drop into cell-divided dish boxes, hardcovers go in compact cartons that spare the spines from bowing, and the unwieldy pieces earn a custom sleeve, think the mirror, the TV, a screen or two, a lamp, the framed photos, the canvas above the mantel. Anything electronic gets cushioned against jolts, and a room label rides on each box so the destination is no guessing game. With one Checkmate W-2 crew on both the packing and the drive, nothing falls into the crack that opens up whenever one outfit boxes a home and a second one hauls it. Note that the dry mountain air is rough on an instrument, so a piano is skidded and crated by the piano crew, never boxed like a shelf of books.
Take the whole job, or only the parts you dread
You are never obligated to hand over everything. Some folks want every room boxed; others steer us toward the office, the cabinets, and the wall art while packing their own closets. Either is fine, and the price tracks the slice you assign. In a larger home the packing runs a day or two ahead, and the fragile pieces and electronics hold in place until they are padded and taped, well clear of any weather-day trip out to the curb.
The limits of a pack
Two ground rules keep it all clean. Hazardous materials are off-limits for both packing and hauling, so gasoline, propane, paint, solvents, and ammunition must be kept separate and handled by you. Perishable groceries and potted plants do not get crated for a highway run. And while we happily box a fragile heirloom or a singular canvas, we will tell you straight when a piece is better off riding with you than sealed in a carton and crossed-fingers over.
The cost of a pack
A pack’s cost tracks the slice you assign plus the supplies it eats, and it layers atop the move itself. As a rough orientation, relocating a full home runs $1,000–$1,700 for two bedrooms, $1,700–$2,850 for three, and $2,750–$4,400 for four, with packing tallied separately on top. Everything we box rides beneath the same $1M of cargo coverage protecting the rest.
