This is my fifth move with Gentle Giant, and both of my teams were unfailingly kind, efficient, patient, speedy, and lovely to work with.

Every person that I dealt with, from my first inquiry to the completion of my move, was professional, competent and courteous. Chuck and his crew did an awesome job carefully wrapping items... Highly recommend Gentle Giant.

How much does piano moving cost in Wareham?

Piano moving is available from 31 of 36 Wareham movers (86.11%), compared to 72.52% nationally. Gentle Giant Moving Company leads Wareham piano movers with a 4.64/5 moveBuddha score, followed by Liberty Moving & Storage, Inc. at 4.34/5. A standalone piano move in Wareham typically costs $1,048 to $4,585, depending on instrument type.

Wareham movers offering this 31 of 36 (86.11%)
National average 72.52%
Top-rated Wareham piano movers Gentle Giant Moving Company, Liberty Moving & Storage, Inc.
Upright piano $1,048 to $1,965
Baby grand piano $1,572 to $3,275
Grand piano $2,358 to $4,585

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 Wareham?

Antique handling is available from 19 of 36 Wareham movers (52.78%), compared to 46.24% nationally. Liberty Moving & Storage, Inc. (4.34/5) and Bristol-Plymouth Moving & Storage, Inc. (4.48/5) rate highest for antique care in Wareham. Adding antique handling to a household move adds $1,310 to $3,275 to the total cost.

Added cost to a household move $1,310 to $3,275
Per-piece handling fee $66 to $655
Custom crating per item $197 to $262

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 Wareham?

Art packing is available from 19 of 36 Wareham movers (52.78%), compared to 45.76% nationally. Liberty Moving & Storage, Inc. (4.34/5) and Long Moving & Storage, LLC (4.5/5) rate highest for art packing in Wareham. Per-piece art handling in Wareham runs $66 to $655, with custom crates adding $197 to $262 per item.

Per-piece handling fee $66 to $655
Custom crating per item $197 to $262

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 Wareham?

Climate-controlled storage is available from 14 of 36 Wareham movers (38.89%), compared to 33.2% nationally. Long Moving & Storage, LLC (4.5/5) and Bristol-Plymouth Moving & Storage, Inc. (4.48/5) rate highest for climate-controlled storage in Wareham. Storage-in-transit runs about $0.50 per cubic foot per month, putting a 1-bedroom load (about 514 cu ft) at roughly $337/month in Wareham.

Storage-in-transit rate About $0.50 per cubic foot per month
1-bedroom monthly estimate (~514 cu ft) $337

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 Wareham?

Fragile-only packing is available from 7 of 36 Wareham movers (19.44%), compared to 23.83% nationally. Liberty Moving & Storage, Inc. (4.34/5) and Cape Cod Moving & Storage (4.28/5) rate highest for fragile-only packing in Wareham. 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.
