Unpacking & Move-In Setup
The movers are gone and the boxes are everywhere. Christina unpacks, sets up and organizes your new home so it feels settled in days instead of months.
Moving day ends, but the work is just beginning. Most families unpack the essentials and then stall, with the rest of the boxes stacked in the garage or a spare room. It is easy to lose track of important things and hard to feel at home.
Our unpacking and move-in service takes that weight off your shoulders. We unpack room by room and put things away thoughtfully, so your new home is organized from the start rather than something to fix later.
We start with a free consultation, ideally before your move. If Christina can see the new space or its floor plan ahead of time, she can plan where things will go and suggest what to pack together. If you have already moved in, that works too.
On unpacking day we usually start with the kitchen and bedrooms, since those make the biggest difference to daily life. We unpack category by category, ask you about preferences, and set things up with the family's routines in mind. As the boxes empty, we break them down and gather packing paper so the house opens up.
If you are unsure where something should go, we make a sensible choice and note it, so you can easily adjust later.
Central Texas welcomes a lot of new neighbors every year, and many of our unpacking clients are relocating for work or family. Christina helps families settle into homes in Austin, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, Leander and Manor, whether that is a new build in Leander or Manor or an established neighborhood in Austin.
Local tip: if your new home has a garage, try to keep it from becoming the box overflow room. It is much easier to unpack when boxes go straight to the room where they belong.
A little prep helps unpacking go faster and smoother:
If you have not had time for any of this, that is okay too. We will work with whatever moving day left behind.
We also leave you with a short list of anything that still needs a decision, such as art to hang or furniture to rearrange, so nothing gets forgotten once the boxes are gone. Many clients say that list is what finally makes the new house feel finished.
When Christina also handles your packing, boxes arrive labeled and grouped the way they will be unpacked, which makes the move-in even faster.

Before & after
Questions
It depends on the size of the home and the number of boxes. Kitchens and closets take the longest. Many homes can be mostly unpacked in one to a few sessions, and you will get an estimate after the consultation.
We break down boxes and gather packing materials as we go. We can talk through options for recycling or passing boxes along to someone else who is moving.
Yes, if possible. Booking early helps us plan the layout and hold time for the days right after your move.
We organize as we go. Items are put into logical zones with systems that make sense for your family, not just placed on the nearest shelf.
Usually the kitchen and bedrooms, followed by bathrooms and kids' rooms. Those spaces make daily life feel normal again the fastest.
