What do packing services include?
Packing services include professional help boxing, wrapping, labeling, and organizing belongings before a move. Bulldog Movers offers full packing, partial packing, fragile-item preparation, unpacking, and box or supply coordination for moves across DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia.
- Best for busy households, last-minute moves, fragile kitchens, offices, seniors, and customers who do not want to pack every room themselves.

Reviews for Packing Services
Read real Google reviews that speak to the concerns behind packing services, including communication, careful handling, estimates, access, and crew professionalism.
If you are moving somewhere within Maryland, DC, or Virginia, you would have to be crazy to use anyone other than Bulldog movers. They are, without question, the best option. I would give higher than 5 stars if I could. I have undergone several moves with several different moving companies, and Bulldog movers is the best I have ever used, by a long shot. They operate by a standard of excellence that I didn't realize was possible. Carlos and Donald were absolutely incredible: they were timely, communicative, extremely nice and accommodating, and moved a ton of furniture,…
I did a ton of research into movers as this was my first time hiring movers and was so pleased with my experience. I read good reviews about bulldog movers, they were the better of multiple quotes and best of several reviews and after a call with Serena to chat through it i was sold. Freer customer service from time of booking to time of arrival to wrapping up. I had Johnathon and Aaron and they were on time, incredibly professional and careful with my belongings, so kind and delightful. We did take a bit longer but not their fault and worth every penny. They insisted i…
An awesome and seamless move! Luca, Aaron, and Jonathan were timely, friendly, and considerate. Asked lots of great questions and ensured our move was smooth; even with our home being a bit of a mess from our lack of preparation.
The set up process was easy. The responsiveness and flexibility in the changes I made were superb. Even to the point of actively helping me save money. The movers were great guys. Fun to talk to (they described moving a piano up 25 flights of stairs the day before) and respectful of property. They were lightning fast and thorough. They even helped me set up at the new place. Couldn’t be happier with whole experience.
Moving was super easy, all thanks to Bulldog Movers. Crew is very professional and make it so smooth! 5 stars is not enough 👏🏼
Excellent movers! Carlos, Donald, Aaron, and Jonathon helped me unload all of my belongings into my house, and were extremely pleasant, careful, and diligent. Probably the most enjoyable moving experience I’ve had in about 8 moves!
Luca and Alpha were wonderful. They showed up on time and worked diligently to get the move finished in a timely manner. I would highly recommend this company and these two movers in particular.
Very efficient and careful. The two guys (Jonathon & Alpha) were very professional. I’m helpful.
I spent a lot of time deciding on which moving company I was going to use from all the different options in the area. I went with Bulldog Movers because of their 5-star rating and I’m so glad I did! I was very stressed out and had underestimated how many boxes I needed but Bulldog Movers put my unpacked items in some of their own boxes. I had Carlos and Andy, and both of them were friendly and calm which made me feel less anxious and above all, they were super efficient! We finished in 2 hours and since my original estimate was for 4 hours I paid less than I expected which…
We were packed up and moved by, Jonathan, Luca, Frank, Carlos, and Donald. The team exceeded every expectation! They communicated early and often, keeping us updated as bad weather hit our schedule and still made everything work. They kept at or under estimates for each step and they were thorough and careful with every item. At packing, moving out, and moving in, the team made sure we were comfortable with all quality of work and addressed every concern we had. Would hire them again!
Our experience with Bulldog Movers was amazing from the start. The quote process was incredibly thorough and transparent. All costs were clear and concise and there were no hidden fees or charges. While our move took an hour longer than our estimate, the hourly rate was clearly stated from the beginning so there were no surprises! The automated text notifying of us of the arrival time of our crew on the day of the move was incredibly helpful. Our crew (Carlos, Mike, and Jonathan) showed up promptly and were incredibly polite and professional. They were rolling out the…
Packed and moved with care! Excellent service from my movers Gerson & Frank. Gerson was kind and conversational when packing; Frank was respectful and meticulous when labeling. They both worked so diligently to pack up one day and move the next. A leasing agent recommended this company to me, and they did a wonderful job. All my stuff was transported with care (nothing broke!). They wrapped and unwrapped all my furniture and even offered to place it in my preferred layout. They took my bed apart and put it back together seamlessly. My only criticism is we needed three…
If I could give them more stars I would. They were the first to respond to my inquiry. Serena was amazing. I explained exactly what I needed at she provided a quote. I also explained how bad my moves was the last time and she understood my apprehension but I also needed help because I have large furniture I couldn't lift it up the stairs. I scheduled my appointment and that was that. The day of my move I received a call with the estimated arrival time. And they were right on time. I was moving out of a 3 bedroom storage unit. They had all my furniture and boxes packed in…
They were excellent and did everything they said they would do on time and within the budget we established together. When I didn't use all the packing boxes they sold me, they gave me credit. I could have paid a lot more for the services they provided, but the guys knew what they were doing - efficient, courteous, careful, organized and friendly. Local or Out of State, I think they do the same for everybody. You know from start to finish where you stand and what's going on. You can't do better than BullDog MoversMD.
Luca, Morrison, and Gerson are a wonderful team of movers that showed great care in packing and loading our belongings — many fragile — into boxes and into the truck. We are so happy that this team of three very nice men helped us! Luca, Morrison and Gerson are energetic, careful, happy and very pleasant to work with! I highly recommend each of them and will be asking for them again in the near future!
Bulldog Movers has helped me move twice in the past 3 years, and I would happily book them again! The crew that showed up for my 1 bed/1 bath move included Carlos, Alpha, and Jonathan, and they kicked ass the entire day. They moved all of my things with care and attention, but they also moved quickly. I was moving from a condo building, and the building staff said that the crew were polite and respectful of building rules and regulations. They were careful to put boxes and furniture exactly where they should go, and they were friendly while working so hard. I would happily…
A-Z easy! Quote was reasonable. (I had a POD loaded from a 3-story townhouse.) The two gentlemen who came to load were extremely pleasant and worked very well together. They wrapped all the furniture very well and were extremely careful with my walls and railings. They were very efficient and packed the POD really nice. Everything was secured well and I was able to fit everything in. I’m so impressed with their service that I’ll be requesting the same people to unload everything once I close on my new house. Honestly, it was the best experience I’ve ever had and I’ve moved…
We used them for packing only and they were excellent from fist contact all the way through. Serena in the office is super responsive and accomodating and they were able to schedule the packing with 2 days notice. And the packing itself went flawlessly. As for price, I didn’t have time to get another quote, but they were very flexible only charging for the time spent working and the materials actually used. Be sure to check the distance from their base to your location. We were a bit far, but they only charged for one hour. Recommend them 100%
Moving is one of the most stressful, time-consuming ordeals a person can go through. Bulldog Movers, however, made a difficult process undeniably seamless! Through every step, from booking the initial appointment to coordinating with the movers on the big day, Bulldog Movers did everything with the utmost care and professionalism! We had items marked for removal, storage, and carryovers to our new home. The movers expertly categorized our items, moved quickly and effectively, and frequently checked to ensure everything was accurate. Not a single box or bag was mishandled.…
I have worked with several moving companies, both internationally and domestically, and none have matched the exceptional service provided by Bulldog Moving Company. If it were possible to give more than five stars, they would certainly deserve it. From the outset, Serena demonstrated extensive knowledge, prompt communication, and a willingness to accommodate all of my requests. Frank and Donald were equally impressive—flexible, attentive to suggestions, and highly efficient in their process. Their work, from disassembly and secure packing to careful placement of every…
We recently used Bulldog Movers for a local move and I would highly recommend their services. Booking was easy and I receive a quick response every time I reached out with a question. Jonathon, Carlos, and Luca were professional, efficient, and communicative throughout the move. They carefully moved and wrapped all our furniture and when unloading made sure everything was where we wanted it to be. We ended up needing all the space in the truck, more then our estimate, but their work ethic and positivity never changed. We’re thankful for their expert packing ability down to…
All I can say is wow! This was a difficult move. The situation was tenuous and right from the start. Serena was phenomenal. The level of customer service that bulldog movers provides truly unparalleled. I want to give a huge thank you to Carlos and Donald. Besides their expertise in packing and preparing items for moving, they navigated a difficult situation with efficiency, aplomb and professionalism. Because the landlord was so uncooperative the move took several extra hours, cutting into their personal time that day. They never complained, they never lagged, and their…
Booked a large move with Bulldog Movers and couldn’t be happier. The 3 guys were very professional and friendly and wrapped everything nicely. It was raining and sleeting during the entire move and they had great attitudes about it. The unloading was also smooth and they dropped off boxes and furniture where I asked and neatly organized the things that didn’t have a place to be set. And they made sure to check multiple times what is and isn’t marked as disposal. They finished the job roughly around the time frame I was quoted which was several hours faster than another…
Bulldog Movers exceeded every expectation! From start to finish, this team made what's usually one of life's most stressful experiences feel completely effortless. Alpha, Luca, and Jonathan were absolute rockstars — punctual both days, incredibly professional, and they went above and beyond to accommodate every single special request I had. They handled both packing and moving flawlessly and wrapped up right on schedule. If you're moving anywhere in the DMV, you should absolutely trust Bulldog!
What affects packing service cost?
A kitchen, garage, office, or full home takes more time than a few closets or fragile items.
Books, dishes, decor, closets, and small items usually require more boxes and more careful wrapping.
Boxes, tape, paper, bubble wrap, stretch wrap, wardrobe boxes, and specialty cartons should be planned in advance.
Same-day or tight packing windows may require a larger crew or a focused room-by-room plan.
Unpacking, placement, and box breakdown add time and should be quoted separately from packing only.

| Topic | Option | Best for | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full packing | Customers who want most household goods boxed before move day. | Most convenient, but requires more labor and supply planning. | |
| Partial packing | Kitchens, closets, fragile rooms, offices, or the items you do not want to pack yourself. | Lower scope, but customer-packed boxes still need to be ready. | |
| DIY packing | Simple moves with enough time, supplies, and confidence handling fragile items. | More control, but loose items and weak boxes can slow moving day. |
Packing services FAQ for DMV moves
Do movers pack everything?
Movers can pack most household goods when that scope is included in the quote. Customers should personally handle valuables, medications, sensitive documents, perishables, liquids, and restricted materials.
Can I hire packers without moving service?
Packing help can often be scoped separately or paired with a later move. Share your room list, timing, supply needs, and whether you need unpacking so Bulldog Movers can confirm the right plan.
How far ahead should packing be scheduled?
Schedule packing as early as possible once your move date is known. Many DMV customers book packing one or more days before moving day so loose items are boxed before the truck and crew arrive.
Do I need to provide boxes?
You can provide your own boxes or ask Bulldog Movers to help plan boxes and supplies. The quote should confirm who is providing tape, paper, wrap, wardrobe boxes, and specialty materials.
Can Bulldog Movers pack fragile kitchen items?
Yes. Kitchens are one of the most common packing priorities because dishes, glassware, cookware, and small appliances require time and protection.
Can you unpack after the move?
Unpacking can be added when requested. The team can help open boxes, place items by room, and make the first day in the new home easier.
