Packing & Unpacking Service

Full-Service Packing in Asheville

Packing is the part of a move people underestimate, and then they’re up until 2am wrapping glasses in dish towels the night before the truck comes. Rest Easy Moving’s packing service hands that whole job to our crew. We bring the boxes, paper, bubble wrap, and tape, and we pack the house room by room so everything’s ready when the truck rolls up from the Grove Arcade. Wesley started this company in 2015 partly because the outfits he’d worked for treated packing as an afterthought — here it’s done right or not at all.

How a full pack works around here

We can pack the entire house or just the rooms you’d rather not deal with — the kitchen and the china cabinet are the usual suspects. Each box gets labeled by room so the unload makes sense, and fragile pieces get the wrapping they actually need. For the art that fills so many Asheville homes, especially anything bought in the River Arts District, we custom-pad canvases and pottery so a bumpy ride down a mountain road doesn’t turn a gallery piece into a loss claim. Packing runs on the same $139-an-hour, 2-mover rate, with the 3-mover crew at $195 when a big kitchen or a full house calls for the extra hands.

  • Boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, and tape supplied so you’re not running to the store
  • Dish-pack cartons and cell dividers for stemware, china, and the cast iron everybody seems to own
  • Custom padding for RAD art, framed canvases, and pottery that won’t survive a loose box
  • Room-by-room labeling tied to a quick inventory so unpacking isn’t a guessing game

Good packing also makes the load safer for the drive. WNC roads are full of switchbacks and grades, and boxes that were thrown together loose will jostle the first time the truck takes a curve coming off the parkway or merges onto I-26. We pack tight and pad the fragile cartons so a bumpy mountain route doesn’t turn into a pile of broken glass at the other end.

You can add unpacking on the other end too, so the kitchen’s usable the first night instead of buried under a wall of cartons. A written estimate goes out before we start, as NC requires, and a $150 deposit holds your date. Standard coverage is $0.60 a pound with full-value optional. Call (888) 711-4778 to set up your pack.

What Asheville Customers Say Once It’s Done

★★★★★

“We bought a place in Haw Creek with a steep, winding driveway that scared off the first company we called. Rest Easy came out, looked at it, brought a smaller truck for the shuttle, and never once acted like it was a problem. The two leads were Buncombe County guys who knew exactly how to handle the grade. Everything arrived intact, including a marble-top dresser I fully expected to crack. They reassembled the beds and even put the felt pads back under the dining chairs. The estimate held to the dollar.”

“Relocated from Fletcher to Charlotte for work. I-40 east the whole way. Binding quote, same two movers on both ends, delivered next morning right on schedule. No headaches.”

“Downsizing my parents out of their big Beaverdam house into assisted living was the hardest move I have ever organized. The crew was gentle with my dad, who kept changing his mind about what to keep, and never made him feel rushed. They donated a load to the place I asked instead of just hauling it off, took apart the old hospital bed carefully, and labeled the boxes by room so unpacking at the new place was manageable. They are licensed and insured, which mattered to me because the facility asked, and they had all the paperwork ready. I cannot recommend them enough for an older parent's move.”

Service FAQ

I bought a lot of pottery and canvases in the River Arts District. Will they survive the move?
That's exactly what the custom padding is for. We wrap framed pieces and crate or cushion pottery so a winding mountain road doesn't crack anything. Asheville homes are full of local art, and protecting it properly is a routine part of our pack.
Can you just handle the kitchen and leave the closets to me?
Absolutely. Plenty of folks have us pack the kitchen and the breakables and do the rest themselves to save money. We'll quote a partial pack by the hour, and you decide which rooms are worth handing off and which you'd rather tackle.
If you pack everything, will I actually be able to find things when I unpack?
Yes. Every box is labeled by room and contents, tied to a short inventory we hand you. So the boxes marked kitchen go to the kitchen and you're not opening ten cartons looking for the coffee maker on the first morning.
How far ahead of move day do you come pack?
Usually the day before, sometimes the morning of for a smaller place. For a full house we'll often pack over an afternoon and the next morning so nothing's rushed and the truck loads clean. We set the timing when you book.
