"Dwayne and his crew were fantastic. Very responsive, professional, on time and tidy. We used them to unload two 16’ pods and it took 4 guys about 4 hours to complete the job. The total cost was actually a little less then quoted. We highly recommend them!"

"The team at A Simple Move easily accommodated my move from 2 locations simultaneously. They were on time and worked diligently. The guys were great end to end, helping assemble items where needed and finished expeditiously. Everyone showed care for each item and provided wrapping, etc when needed. I can't imagine using anyone else to move me in the future."

How much does piano moving cost in Denver?

Piano moving is available from 36 of 51 Denver movers (70.59%), compared to 72.52% nationally. Local Moving LLC leads Denver piano movers with a 4.62/5 moveBuddha score, followed by Homegrown Moving Company, LLC at 4.62/5. A standalone piano move in Denver typically costs $1,024 to $4,480, depending on instrument type.

Piano moving in Denver Details
Denver movers offering this 36 of 51 (70.59%)
National average 72.52%
Top-rated Denver piano movers Local Moving LLC, Homegrown Moving Company, LLC
Upright piano $1,024 to $1,920
Baby grand piano $1,536 to $3,200
Grand piano $2,304 to $4,480

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 Denver?

Antique handling is available from 26 of 51 Denver movers (50.98%), compared to 46.24% nationally. Homegrown Moving Company, LLC (4.62/5) and Moving Proz (4.62/5) rate highest for antique care in Denver. Adding antique handling to a household move adds $1,280 to $3,200 to the total cost.

Top-rated Denver antique movers Homegrown Moving Company, LLC, Moving Proz
Added cost to a household move $1,280 to $3,200
Per-piece handling fee $64 to $640
Custom crating per item $192 to $256

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 Denver?

Art packing is available from 27 of 51 Denver movers (52.94%), compared to 45.76% nationally. Homegrown Moving Company, LLC (4.62/5) and Moving Proz (4.62/5) rate highest for art packing in Denver. Per-piece art handling in Denver runs $64 to $640, with custom crates adding $192 to $256 per item.

Per-piece handling fee $64 to $640
Custom crating per item $192 to $256

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 Denver?

Climate-controlled storage is available from 17 of 51 Denver movers (33.33%), compared to 33.2% nationally. Local Moving LLC (4.62/5) and Homegrown Moving Company, LLC (4.62/5) rate highest for climate-controlled storage in Denver. Storage-in-transit runs about $0.50 per cubic foot per month, putting a 1-bedroom load (about 514 cu ft) at roughly $329/month in Denver.

Climate-controlled storage in Denver Details
Denver movers offering this 17 of 51 (33.33%)
National average 33.2%
Top-rated Denver providers Local Moving LLC, Homegrown Moving Company, LLC
Storage-in-transit rate About $0.50 per cubic foot per month
1-bedroom monthly estimate (~514 cu ft) $329

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 Denver?
