Packing Materials Suggestions

Basic House Packing List

The following are some suggestions based on the size of the house that you are moving from. We have outlined it by rooms; a room includes (bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, dinning rooms, offices, den, playroom, attic, basement (depending on the size it may count as two rooms), garage, storage shed, and formal living room. For some home owners, these boxes are just right. For others, these combinations are just the beginning. If our list below does not meet all of your needs completely, you can order supplemental cartons individually.

Since the contents of each home are different, it is best to have one of our estimators do an in-house estimate. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at 1-800-649-3185. Booska Movers will refund the cost of each carton not used and returned to us in new condition.
