Excellent crew. Very polite, very efficient. They double-checked when unsure where to put items, and were even nice to my kids. I've moved several times; these guys are excellent.

We recently moved from Auburn IN to St Simons Island GA...Trish, the move coordinator, was very kind and helpful and checked in throughout the process. Highly recommend.

They went above and beyond in moving our stuff quickly and efficiently. The prices are reasonable. The only bad thing that happened was my ice maker stopped working. Regardless it was worth it to not have to lift all that heavy stuff.

Excellent service, fast and efficient. Very pleased at how accommodating the men were in getting several very heavy items moved to our new home. Would highly recommend them for all your moving needs.

MVM Moving & Storage leads Bluffton piano movers with a 4.56/5 moveBuddha score, followed by TWO MEN AND A TRUCK at 4.34/5.

Piano moving in Bluffton Details
Bluffton movers offering this 5 of 6 (83.33%)
National average 72.52%
Top-rated Bluffton piano movers MVM Moving & Storage, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK
Upright piano $640 to $1,200
Baby grand piano $960 to $2,000
Grand piano $1,440 to $2,800

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 Bluffton?

Antique handling is available from 2 of 6 Bluffton movers (33.33%), compared to 46.24% nationally. MVM Moving & Storage (4.56/5) and Two Guys And A Truck (4.62/5) rate highest for antique care in Bluffton. Adding antique handling to a household move adds $800 to $2,000 to the total cost.

Top-rated Bluffton antique movers MVM Moving & Storage, Two Guys And A Truck
Added cost to a household move $800 to $2,000
Per-piece handling fee $40 to $400
Custom crating per item $120 to $160

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 Bluffton?

Art packing is available from 2 of 6 Bluffton movers (33.33%), compared to 45.76% nationally. MVM Moving & Storage (4.56/5) and Two Guys And A Truck (4.62/5) rate highest for art packing in Bluffton. Per-piece art handling in Bluffton runs $40 to $400, with custom crates adding $120 to $160 per item.

Per-piece handling fee $40 to $400
Custom crating per item $120 to $160

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 Bluffton?

Climate-controlled storage is available from 4 of 6 Bluffton movers (66.67%), compared to 33.2% nationally. MVM Moving & Storage (4.56/5) and Hoover the Mover (4.28/5) rate highest for climate-controlled storage in Bluffton. Storage-in-transit runs about $0.50 per cubic foot per month, putting a 1-bedroom load (about 514 cu ft) at roughly $206/month in Bluffton.

Top-rated Bluffton providers MVM Moving & Storage, Hoover the Mover
Storage-in-transit rate About $0.50 per cubic foot per month
1-bedroom monthly estimate (~514 cu ft) $206

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 Bluffton?

Fragile-only packing is available from 3 of 6 Bluffton movers (50.0%), compared to 23.83% nationally. MVM Moving & Storage (4.56/5) and Hoover the Mover (4.28/5) rate highest for fragile-only packing in Bluffton. 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.
