The crew was great! Everyone was friendly and efficient and made the experience fun if you can believe it! Price was as expected and significantly less then others quoted. They were also able to complete the job in two days instead of three.
They had the task of moving our office of 14 people... They were extremely careful... dealt with many changes and were quick to transition... incredibly professional... all equally funny, understanding, and overall a pleasure to work with.

The team did an amazing job unloading our relocubes from our cross-country move. They were very efficient, friendly and careful, while being reasonably priced. I would definitely contact them in the future if we were to move again. Thank you!
I had a great experience with Soft Touch on my move from Indiana to Tennessee. The total cost came out to the low end of my estimate. All 3 movers were courteous and let me know of 1 minor nick they had caused.

| Piano moving in Lafayette | Details |
|---|---|
| Lafayette movers offering this | 2 of 3 (66.67%) |
| National average | 72.52% |
| Top-rated Lafayette piano movers | Schurman-Lange Co., TWO MEN AND A TRUCK |
| Upright piano | $672 to $1,260 |
| Baby grand piano | $1,008 to $2,100 |
| Grand piano | $1,512 to $2,940 |
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 Lafayette?
Antique handling is available from 2 of 3 Lafayette movers (66.67%), compared to 46.24% nationally. Schurman-Lange Co. (4.36/5) and WRS Moving & Storage (3.94/5) rate highest for antique care in Lafayette. Adding antique handling to a household move adds $840 to $2,100 to the total cost.

|---|---|
| Lafayette movers offering this | 2 of 3 (66.67%) |
| National average | 46.24% |
| Top-rated Lafayette antique movers | Schurman-Lange Co., WRS Moving & Storage |
| Added cost to a household move | $840 to $2,100 |
| Per-piece handling fee | $42 to $420 |
| Custom crating per item | $126 to $168 |
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 Lafayette?
Art packing is available from 1 of 3 Lafayette movers (33.33%), compared to 45.76% nationally. WRS Moving & Storage (3.94/5) and Planes Moving & Storage Company (4.56/5) rate highest for art packing in Lafayette.

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 Lafayette?
Climate-controlled storage is available from 1 of 3 Lafayette movers (33.33%), compared to 33.2% nationally. Schurman-Lange Co. (4.36/5) and Leaders Moving & Storage Co. (4.52/5) rate highest for climate-controlled storage in Lafayette. Storage-in-transit runs about $0.50 per cubic foot per month, putting a 1-bedroom load (about 514 cu ft) at roughly $216/month in Lafayette.
| Climate-controlled storage in Lafayette | Details |
|---|---|
| Lafayette movers offering this | 1 of 3 (33.33%) |
| National average | 33.2% |
| Top-rated Lafayette providers | Schurman-Lange Co., Leaders Moving & Storage Co. |
| Storage-in-transit rate | About $0.50 per cubic foot per month |
| 1-bedroom monthly estimate (~514 cu ft) | $216 |
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.
