I had Jesse L and Cole T help me move. From start to finish, the movers were exceptional. They communicated clearly, showed up right on time, and handled everything with care — including heavier pieces and delicate items. They worked quickly without ever compromising quality and made what is usually a stressful day feel easy. I’m very grateful for their help and highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable movers.
Full Packing Service in Shreveport, LA
Our crew packs the whole house with our materials, usually the day before the truck loads.
Get my free estimateFull packing means our crew does the whole house with our materials, usually the day before the truck loads. Kitchen, closets, garage, the china cabinet your grandmother carried through three moves. Most Shreveport homes take a 2-3 person packing crew one long day. You keep living in the house until the last morning, and every box lands labeled by room. Packing a week of family life into boxes takes most households three weekends; our crew does it between breakfast and dinner.
Materials we bring
Everything below arrives on the truck with the crew. You never make a box run, and you never guess how many boxes a kitchen actually takes.
| Material | Used for |
|---|---|
| Dish-pack boxes with dividers | Kitchen dishes, glassware, stemware |
| Small book boxes | Books, files, canned goods, anything dense |
| Wardrobe boxes | Clothes straight off the closet rod |
| Mirror and picture cartons | Framed art, mirrors, flat TVs |
| Pads and shrink wrap | Every furniture piece, no exceptions |
How the day goes
- Walkthrough a week out: what gets packed, what stays, what you carry personally.
- Pack day: the crew works room by room, labeling contents and destination on every box.
- Move morning: boxes stage near the door, furniture wraps, truck loads.
- At the new house, boxes land in their labeled rooms for easy unpacking.
What it costs
What’s not included
- Hazardous items: propane, paint, fuel, and chemicals cannot go on the truck.
- Perishables and open food.
- Documents, jewelry, and medications; pack those yourself and keep them with you.

Questions Shreveport customers actually ask
Do you bring all the boxes and materials?
Yes. Dish packs, wardrobe boxes, wrap, tape, all of it arrives with the crew and is built into your written quote, not charged per box afterward.
Can you pack the day before and move the next morning?
That is our standard rhythm for full packing. You sleep in your own bed the last night, and move morning starts with loading, not packing.
What won't you pack?
Nothing hazardous can go on the truck: propane, paint, fuel, cleaning chemicals. We also ask you to keep documents, jewelry, and medications with you personally.
Will you unpack at the new house too?
Yes, if you book it. Most families have us place boxes by room and unpack themselves over a week, but full unpacking is available on the quote.
What sets Hometown Movers apart
One written flat rate before move day, and the same local crew from your old front door to your new one. That has been the deal since 2012.
Raised Between The Red River And I-49
Every mover on our trucks grew up here. Your crew already knows the Broadmoor stairs, the Pierremont parking, and which South Highlands streets back up first in a spring storm, before you finish giving the address.
Barksdale PCS Moves On Short Notice
Military orders don’t wait, so neither do we. Same-week slots stay open for PCS moves into and out of Barksdale AFB at no rush premium, and Clint still takes those calls himself.
Licensed Through The Louisiana PSC
We hold Louisiana PSC household-goods registration plus US DOT and MC authority on file, with cargo coverage on every load. A property manager in Bossier City or an HOA board asking for proof gets a certificate the same day.
Wade Routes Around The Backup Before You See A Truck
I-20 work zones, bridge traffic on I-220, casino-row event nights that choke the riverfront — Wade builds the day’s truck board around all of it before a crew ever leaves the yard, so your window holds.
You Get Shelby, Not A Script
Call the office and Shelby, or someone off the crew, picks up — not a call center reading from a screen three states away. Whoever answers can already see your date and your crew on the board.

Every Piece Gets Looked Over First
Jesse’s crew walks each room with you before a blanket goes on, noting any scratch or dent a dresser already has. That way there’s no argument later about what was there before the truck showed up.
Both Homes Get Padded First
Runners and corner guards go down at pickup and delivery before anything lifts, so neither your old hallway nor your new one ends up with a scuffed wall or a dented door frame.
Taken Apart, Labeled, Put Back Together
Bed frames, dining tables, cribs — whatever needs to come apart for the ride gets disassembled, and the hardware gets bagged, labeled, and taped straight to the piece itself so nothing goes missing.
Breakables Ride In Their Own Carton, Never Wedged In
TVs, mirrors, and artwork ride in a dedicated carton with real corner padding, packed by the same person who carried it out of the room.
Stairs Are Rigged, Never Wrestled
Anything heavy rides on a dolly with a real tie-down strap, which matters on the third-floor walk-ups off Airline Dr and the split-level stairs all over Broadmoor.
One Crew From First Box To Last Room
The same crew runs your move from the first box to the last, with no relief shift showing up after lunch to pick up where somebody else left off.
See what Shreveport is saying
I had a wonderful experience with my driver and my team of movers. The team of guys who loaded the truck could not have been more friendly, helpful, courteous and professional. They were quick and efficient and very careful with my belongings...even carefully wrapping items I would not have...that showed their level of respect. The team that unloaded me (across the country) was equally respectful of my possesions, efficient and friendly. My move coordinator and my driver, Cole, were great at keeping in constant contact, how long it would take and other moving logistics. All in all, I had a great experience from start to finish.
The team was great! They were very personable while also remaining professional. They handled our belongings with care and worked very efficiently. They were able to anticipate our moving needs and had extra boxes for us to use. Jesse and his team were fantastic and I would definitely recommend them to others looking for a reliable moving company!
