They moved a 1500# gun safe for us on short notice. They made it look like a walk in the park. More than impressed! Great work and would highly recommend!!
Aaron’s Back Company did an outstanding job moving our hot tub onto our new pad. They were incredibly flexible, even adjusting their arrival day and time after our hot tub arrived two weeks early.

| Piano moving in Billings | Details |
|---|---|
| Billings movers offering this | 3 of 5 (60.0%) |
| National average | 72.52% |
| Top-rated Billings piano movers | Aaron's Back Company, Baker Transfer & Storage |
| Upright piano | $760 to $1,425 |
| Baby grand piano | $1,140 to $2,375 |
| Grand piano | $1,710 to $3,325 |
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.

Antique handling is available from 1 of 5 Billings movers (20.0%), compared to 46.24% nationally. Aaron's Back Company (4.28/5) rate highest for antique care in Billings. Adding antique handling to a household move adds $950 to $2,375 to the total cost.
| Antique handling in Billings | Details |
|---|---|
| Billings movers offering this | 1 of 5 (20.0%) |
| National average | 46.24% |
| Top-rated Billings antique movers | Aaron's Back Company |
| Added cost to a household move | $950 to $2,375 |
| Per-piece handling fee | $48 to $475 |
| Custom crating per item | $143 to $190 |
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.

Climate-controlled storage is available from 1 of 5 Billings movers (20.0%), compared to 33.2% nationally. Baker Transfer & Storage (4.2/5) rate highest for climate-controlled storage in Billings. Storage-in-transit runs about $0.50 per cubic foot per month, putting a 1-bedroom load (about 514 cu ft) at roughly $244/month in Billings.
| Climate-controlled storage in Billings | Details |
|---|---|
| Billings movers offering this | 1 of 5 (20.0%) |
| National average | 33.2% |
| Top-rated Billings providers | Baker Transfer & Storage |
| Storage-in-transit rate | About $0.50 per cubic foot per month |
| 1-bedroom monthly estimate (~514 cu ft) | $244 |
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.
