"Aaron and crew were timely, efficient, professional, yet personable. We had a move that faced some obstacles (on our part) and they were very patient ensuring the job was done and our contents were where we wanted them in the new home. From location 1, they broke down all the parts/pieces of furniture and assured it was all protected and reassembled as it was prior to the move. (VT to MA) We had other home contents packed in totes/boxes, and they moved it all. So so thankful for the service and effort that was provided, making our move as seamless as possible. Highly recommend!"

Packing and Moving Services in Rutland, VT
Packing is where a move is won or lost. Done right, unloading is directions. Done badly, it's a month of hunting through unmarked cardboard.

Boxes Done Properly
A Moving and Packing Company That Labels Everything
Right-sized boxes, correct fill, and a label that tells the crew which room it lands in at the other end.
Two things break furniture and dishes on moving day: boxes that are too big for what's in them, and boxes that are half empty. Heavy things go in small cartons, light things in large ones, and every void gets filled so nothing shifts. It sounds obvious and it's the single most common reason a self-packed load arrives with a broken lamp.
We supply the boxes, paper, tape, wardrobe cartons, and dish barrels, pack whatever share of the house you want, and number every box against a room list. If you'd like the whole thing handled including the driving, that's full service. If you just want the kitchen done, that's a two-hour booking.

Packing Mistakes
Why Self-Packed Loads Arrive Broken
Five habits that cause almost all the damage we see on customer-packed moves.
-
Books in a Large Box
A big carton of books weighs more than the cardboard can hold, and the bottom goes.
-
Half-Full Boxes
Empty space lets contents move all trip. Fill every void, even with crumpled paper.
-
Plates Stacked Flat
Dishes ride on edge, wrapped individually. Stacked flat, they crack under weight.
-
Nothing Written on the Top
Boxes get stacked. Label two sides and the top or the crew can't read any of it.
-
Liquids Packed With Linens
One shampoo cap works loose and takes out an entire box of bedding.
How We Pack
Our Room-by-Room Packing Order
Four steps that keep the house livable until the last possible moment.
-
Start With What You Don't Use
Guest rooms, storage, out-of-season clothing, decor, and the good china.
-
Work Toward Daily Rooms
Living spaces and bedrooms next, leaving the kitchen and bathrooms for last.
-
Label and Number Everything
Destination room on the top and two sides, tracked against a written list.
-
Pack an Essentials Box
Coffee, chargers, medication, tools, and toilet paper — loaded last, opened first.
Materials and Method
What Gets Packed Differently in a Vermont House
Regional specifics that change how we box a household here.
Cold Weather Fragiles
Candles, vinyl, and electronics don't like an unheated truck in January.
Attic and Barn Contents
Decades of storage need sorting before boxing, or you pay to move mice nests.
Antiques and Heirlooms
Case pieces and mirrors get custom cartons, not a blanket and good intentions.
Kitchens With Real Cookware
Cast iron and stand mixers need small, strong boxes and honest weight limits.
Plants and Garden Gear
Houseplants ride with you; tools and pots get their own dirty-items load.
Documents Stay With You
Deeds, passports, and titles never go on the truck. We'll remind you twice.

Packing Service Reviews From Local Households
"I am so happy that I chose Two Brothers Moving Service as Aaron, Eric, Nate, and Daniel did a fantastic job of moving our belongings to our new home. We had some extremely heavy and challenging items to move and they handled everything with great care. Everyone conducted themselves in a professional and respectful manner, which we both appreciated. I would absolutely use Two Brothers Moving again, and would definitely recommend them to friends and family."
"Two Brothers moved us from an apartment in Bristol to a house in Brandon about 2 weeks ago. They did an excellent job. Aaron and his 2-man crew (in our case Dan and Jeremy) did an amazing job loading and securing our belongings in their truck, then unloading and placing everything in the new place. They took special care of fragile and large items and were obviously careful and mindful. I observed them coordinating and communicating with each other as they went along. It was a good moving experience and I would readily recommend Two Brothers (already have, actually)."
Packing FAQs
Common Questions About Packing Services
Rough working number: 25 to 35 boxes per bedroom for an average household, more if you cook seriously or keep a lot of books. We bring extra rather than run out mid-kitchen, and you're only charged for what gets used.
