★★★★★
"This team was super helpful even before they started. They answered their email to answer questions we had. They communicated well, hit their arrival time, finished before the allotted time (giving us a small credit) and were super efficient at packing our stuff into a POD. They worked hard to be kind to our belongings and our property. Would 100% work with them again."

What is room by room packing?
It is a packing method where the crew fully packs and labels one room before starting the next, and stacks its boxes together. It makes loading and unloading faster, because every box has a clear room at the new home. Rocket Services charges from $129/hr for 2 packers.
Which room should be packed first when moving?
Start with rooms you use least, like guest rooms, basements, storage closets and the garage. Leave the kitchen, bathrooms and main bedroom for last, since you use them every day. The Rocket Services team leader can help set the order during the first walkthrough.
How do packers label boxes for the new house?
Each box gets the room it belongs in, and the crew can match the names on your new floor plan if rooms change purpose, like an office becoming a nursery. Smart Move labels and box markers are $9.95 each, and reusable bins come with a label for every bin.
Can I live in my house while packers work room by room?
Yes. Because the crew finishes one room before starting another, the rooms you use daily stay usable until the end. Packing can be spread across more than one day if needed. Tell the team leader which rooms you need until move day.
