We used Mr. Mover twice, and they were fantastic both times. The crew is friendly and very knowledgeable. They even loaned us moving blankets when we didn’t have enough. Can’t recommend them enough!
Mr Mover was able to complete the move including travel in less than 5 hrs. They were friendly and efficient, and the cost was definitely less than I anticipated.

| Piano moving in Newark | Details |
|---|---|
| Newark movers offering this | 16 of 27 (59.26%) |
| National average | 72.74% |
| Top-rated Newark piano movers | Dearman Moving & Storage, MVM Moving & Storage |
| Upright piano | $720 to $1,350 |
| Baby grand piano | $1,080 to $2,250 |
| Grand piano | $1,620 to $3,150 |
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 Newark?
Antique handling is available from 11 of 27 Newark movers (40.74%), compared to 46.37% nationally. Dearman Moving & Storage (4.64/5) and MVM Moving & Storage (4.76/5) rate highest for antique care in Newark. Adding antique handling to a household move adds $900 to $2,250 to the total cost.

|---|---|
| Newark movers offering this | 11 of 27 (40.74%) |
| National average | 46.37% |
| Top-rated Newark antique movers | Dearman Moving & Storage, MVM Moving & Storage |
| Added cost to a household move | $900 to $2,250 |
| Per-piece handling fee | $45 to $450 |
| Custom crating per item | $135 to $180 |
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 Newark?
Art packing is available from 11 of 27 Newark movers (40.74%), compared to 45.86% nationally. MVM Moving & Storage (4.76/5) and Hercules Movers LLC (4.5/5) rate highest for art packing in Newark. Per-piece art handling in Newark runs $45 to $450, with custom crates adding $135 to $180 per item.

| Top-rated Newark art movers | MVM Moving & Storage, Hercules Movers LLC |
| Per-piece handling fee | $45 to $450 |
| Custom crating per item | $135 to $180 |
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 Newark?
Climate-controlled storage is available from 17 of 27 Newark movers (62.96%), compared to 33.3% nationally. Dearman Moving & Storage (4.64/5) and MVM Moving & Storage (4.76/5) rate highest for climate-controlled storage in Newark. Storage-in-transit runs about $0.50 per cubic foot per month, putting a 1-bedroom load (about 514 cu ft) at roughly $231/month in Newark.
| Climate-controlled storage in Newark | Details |
|---|---|
| Newark movers offering this | 17 of 27 (62.96%) |
| National average | 33.3% |
| Top-rated Newark providers | Dearman Moving & Storage, MVM Moving & Storage |
| Storage-in-transit rate | About $0.50 per cubic foot per month |
| 1-bedroom monthly estimate (~514 cu ft) | $231 |
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 Newark?
Fragile-only packing is available from 8 of 27 Newark movers (29.63%), compared to 23.77% nationally. Dearman Moving & Storage (4.64/5) and MVM Moving & Storage (4.76/5) rate highest for fragile-only packing in Newark. 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.

| Top-rated Newark providers | Dearman Moving & Storage, MVM Moving & Storage |
| Full professional packing rate | $0.15 to $0.21 per pound |
Fragile-only packing targets dishes, glassware, mirrors, and lamps without a full-service packing contract. Limiting professional packing to breakables keeps total packing cost down while covering the items most likely to break in transit.
