How “Pack-Out & Return” Works (Step-by-Step)

  1. Virtual/onsite estimate. We confirm scope, vault count, access (stairs/elevator), and any building requirements. Tip: share plans and dates so we can time redelivery to punch-list wrap.
  2. Pack-out day. Doors/floors protected; we wrap and label by room, crate fragile items as needed, and load to storage. Oversize pieces ride as overflow, padded and inventoried.
  3. Secure SF storage. containers are sealed and stacked in our San Francisco warehouse. Access is by appointment; we can pull specific containers if you need something mid-project.
  4. Progress pull-backs (optional). Need appliances or staged pieces returned mid-renovation? We can partial-deliver from specific vaults.
  5. Redelivery & placement. When the site is ready, we deliver and place items by room, reassemble basics, and remove debris on request.

Vaults & Sizing

Standard wooden vaults are ~5x7x8ft. As a rough guide:

  • 1–2 rooms of furniture & boxes: ~2–3 vaults
  • Full 1-bed apartment: ~3–4 vaults
  • Full 2-bed: ~5–6 vaults

We’ll confirm after an estimate or quick video walk-through.

Buildings, Permits & COIs

  • Certificates of Insurance issued (name your HOA/property manager).
  • We coordinate loading zones / tow-away signs per SFMTA guidance and building rules.
  • For longer curb use or lane work, your GC/PM may reference SF Public Works temporary occupancy.

Protection Standards

  • Door, floor, and elevator protection
  • Blanket-wrap + shrink for furniture
  • Mattress & sofa bags on request
  • Crating for art/mirrors (as needed)
  • Labeling by room + photo inventory (optional)

FAQs

Can you return some items before the project is finished?
Yes. We can deliver specific vaults or items mid-project (appliances, staging pieces) and return the rest later.
How does access work while items are stored?
Access is by appointment. We pull your vaults so you can retrieve or add items with our team supervising for security.
Are COIs and building requirements included?
Yes. We issue COIs and can coordinate loading zones/elevators per building rules. For curb reservations, see SFMTA’s temporary signage guidance.
What if something is oversized?
We store oversize items as protected overflow (not in a vault), fully padded and labeled in the warehouse.
