Great company and great group of guys. We've used them twice now. Both our belongings and home were treated with the upmost care. Rates and billing were reasonable and fair. Would highly recommend them for any move.

We used Mr. Mover twice, and they were fantastic both times. The crew is friendly and very knowledgeable. They even loaned us moving blankets when we didn’t have enough. Can’t recommend them enough!

Mr Mover was able to complete the move including travel in less than 5 hrs. They were friendly and efficient, and the cost was definitely less than I anticipated.

  • Antique handling: 1 of 4 Galion movers (25.0%) offer it, vs. 46.24% nationally. Dearman Moving & Storage (4.5/5) rates highest for antique care in Galion.
  • Climate-controlled storage: 1 of 4 Galion movers (25.0%) offer it, vs. 33.2% nationally. Dearman Moving & Storage (4.5/5) is Galion's top-rated provider.
  • Fragile-only packing: 1 of 4 Galion movers (25.0%) offer it, vs. 23.83% nationally. Dearman Moving & Storage (4.5/5) rates highest for fragile-only packing in Galion.

How much does piano moving cost in Galion?

Piano moving is available from 3 of 4 Galion movers (75.0%), compared to 72.52% nationally. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK leads Galion piano movers with a 4.52/5 moveBuddha score, followed by Dearman Moving & Storage at 4.5/5. A standalone piano move in Galion typically costs $552 to $2,415, depending on instrument type.

Piano moving in Galion Details
Galion movers offering this 3 of 4 (75.0%)
National average 72.52%
Top-rated Galion piano movers TWO MEN AND A TRUCK, Dearman Moving & Storage
Upright piano $552 to $1,035
Baby grand piano $828 to $1,725
Grand piano $1,242 to $2,415

Upright pianos weigh 400 to 800 lbs. Grand pianos exceed 1,200 lbs. Trained crews use piano boards, straps, and padded blankets to prevent structural damage that standard moving equipment cannot safely manage. Bundling a piano into a household move with full-service movers is usually cheaper than hiring a piano-only carrier.

How much does antique handling cost in Galion?

Antique handling is available from 1 of 4 Galion movers (25.0%), compared to 46.24% nationally. Dearman Moving & Storage (4.5/5) and MVM Moving & Storage (4.8/5) rate highest for antique care in Galion. Adding antique handling to a household move adds $690 to $1,725 to the total cost.

Antique handling in Galion Details
Galion movers offering this 1 of 4 (25.0%)

Top-rated Galion antique movers Dearman Moving & Storage, MVM Moving & Storage
Added cost to a household move $690 to $1,725
Per-piece handling fee $35 to $345
Custom crating per item $103 to $138

Custom crating and acid-free padding protect pieces that standard released-value coverage at $0.60/lb cannot adequately cover. A 50-lb antique valued at $5,000 receives only $30 under default protection, making full-value coverage the standard choice for heirloom and high-value items.

How much does climate-controlled storage cost in Galion?

Climate-controlled storage is available from 1 of 4 Galion movers (25.0%), compared to 33.2% nationally. Dearman Moving & Storage (4.5/5) and MVM Moving & Storage (4.8/5) rate highest for climate-controlled storage in Galion. Storage-in-transit runs about $0.50 per cubic foot per month, putting a 1-bedroom load (about 514 cu ft) at roughly $177/month in Galion.

Top-rated Galion providers Dearman Moving & Storage, MVM Moving & Storage
Storage-in-transit rate About $0.50 per cubic foot per month
1-bedroom monthly estimate (~514 cu ft) $177

Climate-controlled units regulate both temperature and humidity, preventing warping, cracking, and mold in wood furniture, vinyl records, and electronics that temperature-only storage cannot protect. This matters most for storage gaps longer than 30 days or for moves that span seasonal humidity swings.

How much does fragile-only packing cost in Galion?

Fragile-only packing is available from 1 of 4 Galion movers (25.0%), compared to 23.83% nationally. Dearman Moving & Storage (4.5/5) and MVM Moving & Storage (4.8/5) rate highest for fragile-only packing in Galion. Full professional packing runs $0.15 to $0.21 per pound; fragile-only packing covers dishes, glassware, mirrors, and lamps at a fraction of that total.
