Checkmate’s packing crews pack a house in the order it needs to come off the shelves and back onto the truck, not room by room in whatever sequence looks tidiest on a clipboard. That distinction sounds small until moving day, when a box packed first should also be the one that loads last — because it’s the box that comes off first at the new address. Desmond Hale built that sequencing into how Checkmate packs back when he was still running crews for someone else and watching boxes get stacked with no relationship to how the truck would actually load.
Full packing covers the entire home, top to bottom, usually scheduled the day before crew day or first thing that same morning depending on the size of the job. Partial packing covers whatever a customer wants handled by the crew — the kitchen, a home office full of electronics, anything fragile — while the rest gets packed by the household. Either way, the packing crew works from the same load plan Jamal Whitfield set at the walkthrough, so what gets wrapped and boxed lines up with what the crew loading the truck is expecting to find.
Dishware, glassware, and anything with a cord get packed and labeled specifically, not lumped into a generic “kitchen” box that has to get sorted through twice. Furniture that needs disassembly gets broken down as part of the pack, with hardware bagged and taped to the piece it came off of, so reassembly at the new place doesn’t turn into a hunt for missing screws.

What This Service Costs
Crew size sets your hourly rate — $145/hr for two movers, $185/hr for three, $225/hr for four — or if you'd rather book off a written number, Jamal can walk the place first and price it before move day
That hourly rate covers the truck, dollies, furniture pads, and shrink wrap — nothing billed separately: $145 for two movers, $185 for three, $225 for four, and $50/hr for each mover beyond that. A $175 deposit holds your date and comes straight off the final invoice. Every job includes basic released-value protection at no added cost; for anyone who wants more coverage on a specific item, Michelle sets up a full-value quote when she books your date.
