Soft Touch is a locally owned, family-run mover with 52 reviews and a 4.8-star rating. We specialize in higher-end residential moves where careful handling matters, and we run our own packing and storage operations rather than subcontracting. Owner John Craft personally oversees scheduling.

Yes. We offer full-service packing (we bring boxes, paper, blankets, and packing crew), partial packing (kitchen and fragile items only), and unpacking at the destination. Packing can be booked the day before your move or same-day depending on volume.

Yes. We offer short-term and long-term storage in our climate-controlled Indianapolis facility. Common use cases: closing date gaps, downsizing, renovations, or staging. Stored items remain in our truck-loaded vaults so they are handled only twice: once on pickup, once on final delivery.

Yes. We handle long-distance moves out of Indiana to anywhere in the contiguous US. Our crew packs and loads your shipment; one truck, one driver, no transfers between depots. This reduces damage risk and lets us give you a firm delivery window.

Local moves in the Indianapolis area are priced by the hour and depend on crew size, truck size, and access. Most 2-3 bedroom homes fall in the $800-$2,400 range for the move itself, with packing priced separately. Every quote is free and itemized so there are no day-of surprises.

For local Indianapolis and Bloomington moves, two to four weeks of notice is usually enough. For long-distance moves, or for peak windows like the end of the month, summer, or Indiana University move-in and move-out weeks, book four to six weeks ahead. We will always try to fit in shorter-notice moves when the calendar allows, so call 317-284-1900 and ask.

Local moves are typically priced by the hour based on crew size and the time the job takes, while long-distance moves are usually a flat, written quote based on the size of the move and the distance. Either way you get a clear written estimate before move day with no hidden fees. Call 317-284-1900 or use the online quote to get your number.

Yes. We can supply boxes, tape, paper, and specialty containers like wardrobe and dish boxes, and we offer full or partial packing if you would rather not box everything yourself. Tell us what you need when you request a quote and we will include materials and packing in the estimate.

For safety and legal reasons we cannot transport hazardous materials such as propane tanks, gasoline, paint, chemicals, ammunition, or other flammables, and we recommend you carry irreplaceable items like cash, jewelry, and important documents yourself. If you have anything unusual, just ask when you book and we will let you know.

Yes. We move pianos, gun safes, gym equipment, and other heavy or awkward specialty items regularly, with the right equipment and crew size to do it safely. Let us know about any specialty pieces when you request your quote so we can plan the crew and protection for them.

Yes, we move seven days a week, including weekends, subject to availability. Weekends and the end of the month book up fastest, so if you need a Saturday or a month-end date, reserve it as early as you can. Call 317-284-1900 to check the calendar for your date.
