"Tony and his crew moved me from Cincinnati to Richmond, VA and I couldn't have had a better experience. Tony came out to give me a free in-home estimate and was super easy to work with to schedule my pick-up and drop-off dates. His guys were fast and efficient both loading and unloading and all my belongings were handled with care. I have several pieces of antique furniture, all of which arrived without a scratch. Even my old, flimsy, press board shelves arrived intact (I honestly didn't think they'd survive another move, but they live to see another day!). Moving is stressful (especially long distance moves), but knowing your belongings are going to be taken care of and arrive when they're supposed to makes the whole process much easier. Truly cannot recommend Smooth Move enough!!"

"I started my search for a moving company through friends and family but none have had a move experience in many years. So, I turned to Google, which is craziness at best. The reviews are all over the place and so many companies to choose from. I narrowed the search to three companies, and based on price, they were all very similar. Tony with Smooth Move was the only one willing to accommodate our need for day after Thanksgiving, so this was a plus, Tony ( the owner) was very responsive for calls and texts, and he was very clear on the expectations for the move. Based on our move inventory, he recommended a 4 or 6 man crew with the cost difference and estimated hours to move with either choice. We settled on a 5 man crew with one truck. I couldn’t have been more satisfied with the move experience. We had never used a moving company before, and I had expected all types of issues based on reviews of ALL moving companies and horror stories from other people. Tony and his team did a fabulous job. We highly recommend Smooth Move."

Montgomery movers offering this 6 of 17 (35.29%)
National average 72.52%
Top-rated Montgomery piano movers TWO MEN AND A TRUCK, American Way Van & Storage
Upright piano $704 to $1,320
Baby grand piano $1,056 to $2,200
Grand piano $1,584 to $3,080

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 Montgomery?

Antique handling is available from 1 of 17 Montgomery movers (5.88%), compared to 46.24% nationally. American Way Van & Storage (4.62/5) rate highest for antique care in Montgomery. Adding antique handling to a household move adds $880 to $2,200 to the total cost.

Top-rated Montgomery antique movers American Way Van & Storage
Added cost to a household move $880 to $2,200
Per-piece handling fee $44 to $440
Custom crating per item $132 to $176

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 art packing cost in Montgomery?

Art packing is available from 2 of 17 Montgomery movers (11.76%), compared to 45.76% nationally. American Way Van & Storage (4.62/5) and Mayberry's Van & Storage, Inc. (4.34/5) rate highest for art packing in Montgomery. Per-piece art handling in Montgomery runs $44 to $440, with custom crates adding $132 to $176 per item.

Custom crating per item $132 to $176

Archival materials and custom crates prevent UV exposure, humidity damage, and impact fractures that standard moving blankets cannot guard against for framed artwork and sculpture. Confirm the mover has direct experience with similar media before booking.

How much does climate-controlled storage cost in Montgomery?

Climate-controlled storage is available from 4 of 17 Montgomery movers (23.53%), compared to 33.2% nationally. Leaders Moving & Storage Co. (4.58/5) and Smooth Move Relocation Services (4.5/5) rate highest for climate-controlled storage in Montgomery. Storage-in-transit runs about $0.50 per cubic foot per month, putting a 1-bedroom load (about 514 cu ft) at roughly $226/month in Montgomery.

Top-rated Montgomery providers Leaders Moving & Storage Co., Smooth Move Relocation Services
Storage-in-transit rate About $0.50 per cubic foot per month
1-bedroom monthly estimate (~514 cu ft) $226

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 Montgomery?

Fragile-only packing is available from 2 of 17 Montgomery movers (11.76%), compared to 23.83% nationally. Keep On Moving (4.2/5) rate highest for fragile-only packing in Montgomery. 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.
