Nick and his crew helped us with our in-town move, and I highly recommend them! Not a single scratch or dent on furniture or walls, which is very impressive. The pricing is very reasonable too. An easy 5 stars.

The guys with Smith Moving Company are the best. They were very professional and took great care with our things. They made sure everything was exactly where we wanted it. I was pleasantly surprised by the speed and efficiency with moving a 3 bedroom house.

Jarret and his team were nothing short of amazing. They were all professional, fast, and reasonable. They were racing the rain and brought in more help to get it done quicker. After they got me moved they assisted me in getting everything put back together and in its right place. I would recommend them to anyone.

Let’s get this out in the open, no one loves to move but Jarret and Josh made it so much easier than it could have been. Communication was excellent leading up to the move, then they balanced a two home /two days of loading move! All without a single issue. Stayed on schedule and the full staff were very polite and professional. I could not recommend them enough.

All My Sons Moving & Storage leads Lakeland piano movers with a 4.48/5 moveBuddha score, followed by The Armstrong Company at 4.52/5.

Piano moving in Lakeland Details
Lakeland movers offering this 7 of 7 (100.0%)
National average 72.52%
Top-rated Lakeland piano movers All My Sons Moving & Storage, The Armstrong Company
Upright piano $688 to $1,290
Baby grand piano $1,032 to $2,150
Grand piano $1,548 to $3,010

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 Lakeland?

Antique handling is available from 5 of 7 Lakeland movers (71.43%), compared to 46.24% nationally. All My Sons Moving & Storage (4.48/5) and The Armstrong Company (4.52/5) rate highest for antique care in Lakeland. Adding antique handling to a household move adds $860 to $2,150 to the total cost.

Added cost to a household move $860 to $2,150
Per-piece handling fee $43 to $430
Custom crating per item $129 to $172

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 Lakeland?

Art packing is available from 4 of 7 Lakeland movers (57.14%), compared to 45.76% nationally. The Armstrong Company (4.52/5) and Guardian Moving Systems (4.48/5) rate highest for art packing in Lakeland. Per-piece art handling in Lakeland runs $43 to $430, with custom crates adding $129 to $172 per item.

Top-rated Lakeland art movers The Armstrong Company, Guardian Moving Systems
Per-piece handling fee $43 to $430
Custom crating per item $129 to $172

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 Lakeland?

Climate-controlled storage is available from 4 of 7 Lakeland movers (57.14%), compared to 33.2% nationally. All My Sons Moving & Storage (4.48/5) and Cord Moving and Storage (4.5/5) rate highest for climate-controlled storage in Lakeland. Storage-in-transit runs about $0.50 per cubic foot per month, putting a 1-bedroom load (about 514 cu ft) at roughly $221/month in Lakeland.

Top-rated Lakeland providers All My Sons Moving & Storage, Cord Moving and Storage
Storage-in-transit rate About $0.50 per cubic foot per month
1-bedroom monthly estimate (~514 cu ft) $221

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 Lakeland?

Fragile-only packing is available from 2 of 7 Lakeland movers (28.57%), compared to 23.83% nationally. The Armstrong Company (4.52/5) and Spyder Moving and Storage (4.28/5) rate highest for fragile-only packing in Lakeland. 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.
