There’s a moment during every move when people stop, look around at the chaos, and think, “Why did I do this myself?”

Maybe it’s when the couch wedges in the hallway. Or when the packing tape runs out at 10 p.m. Or when you realize you’ve filled half a dozen boxes and still haven’t touched the kitchen.

If that sounds familiar—or if you’d rather skip that entire ordeal—there’s a better way. That’s where full-service movers in Raleigh come in. And trust us, once you’ve had the pros handle it, you’ll never go back.

What Exactly Does “Full-Service” Mean?

Let’s clear this up. A full-service mover doesn’t just toss your stuff in a truck and wave goodbye.

At Ken’s Pack and Move, we bring the whole experience. That means:

• Packing Supplies Provided: We show up with boxes, padding, tape, and tools.
  
• Comprehensive Packing: We pack everything—yes, even the junk drawer.
  
• Furniture Disassembly: We disassemble beds, tables, and anything else that doesn’t fit through a doorway.
  
• Careful Loading: We load the truck with care.
  
• Transportation: We drive everything to your new place.
  
• Unloading and Setup: We unload and set it all up again.
  
• Optional Unpacking: And if you want, we’ll even unpack for you.
  

Basically, you don’t have to touch a thing—unless you want to.

Why People Think DIY Saves Time (But It Doesn’t)

Here’s a little myth we’d like to bust: moving yourself isn’t always cheaper, and it rarely saves time.

You rent a truck. You spend days scrounging boxes. You try to bribe friends to help. And by the end of it? You’re exhausted, your back hurts, and you’ve probably dinged a few walls.

Now add up your time, stress, gas money, and the takeout you ate because the kitchen was packed. Suddenly, hiring movers looks a lot more reasonable.

What Our Clients Usually Say After Their Move

“I should’ve called you sooner.”

That’s the one we hear the most. Because once folks see how smooth it can be, they wish they hadn’t waited.

Sometimes it’s the single parent who couldn’t imagine juggling kids and packing. Sometimes it’s a retired couple who didn’t want to lift a thing. Other times it’s a busy professional with zero extra hours in the week.

No matter who it is, the outcome is the same—relief.

Moving Isn’t Just Lifting

A lot of people assume the hard part is carrying boxes. But there’s more to it than that.

Here’s what really makes moving stressful:

• Not knowing how to pack glassware.
  
• Realizing your mattress doesn’t fit in your car.
  
• Forgetting to label the box with your coffee maker.
  
• Trying to maneuver a sofa around a tight stairwell.
  
• Finding out your new apartment elevator is booked.
  

Full-service movers solve these problems before they start. We’ve been through hundreds of moves. We know how to make it smooth.

You Don’t Need to Be a Moving Expert—We Are

Every home is different. Some have steep driveways. Others have tricky turns or second-floor walkups. Add in long hallways, narrow doors, and tight staircases—things can get complicated fast.

But that’s what we do.

We figure out the logistics before they become problems. We protect your floors. We use moving blankets. We don’t scrape the walls or smash your nightstand into a doorway.

It’s not luck. It’s planning.

How Our Team Treats Your Stuff

Think about the things in your home. The old bookshelf you’ve moved to three different places. Your kid’s drawings on the fridge. The dining table your parents gave you.

We treat those things with care, not because they’re expensive (though some are), but because they matter.

Our crews don’t rush. We wrap, pad, and stack the right way. We treat every move like it’s our own.

Packing Materials? Already Handled

Run out of boxes at 11 at night? That won’t happen.

When you hire us, we show up with everything. Big boxes, small boxes, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper—we’ve got it. And we use the right stuff for the right things. Your glassware won’t rattle, and your electronics won’t shift around.

You don’t have to track down supplies. You don’t have to guess.

Furniture Disassembly and Setup? Done.

Beds, desks, tables—they don’t always make it out the front door in one piece.

We’ll take them apart for you. We’ll wrap and move the pieces. And once we get to your new place, we’ll put them back together so you can sleep in your own bed that night.

Simple.

Moving in Raleigh Comes with Local Challenges

We know the neighborhoods. We know the best times to avoid traffic. We understand parking rules and how to work around tricky loading zones.

Whether you’re moving into a townhome in North Hills, an apartment in downtown Raleigh, or a new build in Wake Forest—we’ve done it before. And we know what to expect.

Storage Solutions, Too

Sometimes you’re in between places. Maybe your lease ended, but your new house isn’t ready yet. Or maybe you want to stage your current home without living in it.

We offer storage that’s clean, secure, and flexible. Short-term or long-term, we’ll keep your items safe until you need them.

Stress Less, Enjoy More

Moving is one of life’s biggest changes. You don’t want it to be a miserable memory.

We’ve helped families move with toddlers in tow. We’ve helped older adults downsize with grace. We’ve helped couples start fresh and college grads move out of dorms.

And we’ve made each one of them feel like it was the right call.

Questions We Get All the Time

Do I have to pack anything myself?

Nope. We’ll handle it all unless you want to keep certain things private. Just let us know.

Can you move me into storage?

Yes, we offer full-service moving to and from storage units. We also provide temporary storage.

How far ahead should I book?

We recommend 3–4 weeks in advance, especially during summer. But call us—we can often accommodate shorter timelines.

Will my stuff be safe during the move?

Absolutely. We’re licensed, insured, and careful. Your items are protected and handled with attention.

Is it worth it for a small move?

Even studio moves can feel overwhelming. We help make the transition smoother, no matter the size.

You’ve probably done at least one move the hard way. Don’t do it again.
