Pianos

Our Specialty!

We have moved thousands of uprights, grands and organs of all shapes and sizes, for the general public, churches, music dealers, and schools.  Whether moving locally, across the continent or around the world, all the necessary precautions will be taken to ensure safe arrival.

When your movers arrive they will be sure to look for the easiest path to remove your piano and then prepare their route, using clean, rubber floor runners to protect all wood, ceramic and carpet floors.  They will then quickly inspect  your piano for any damages prior to the move and bring these to your attention.  Our movers will then place pads on your piano and securely tape it.  In the case of a baby grand each piece removed from the unit will be separately padded before being loaded into the truck.

 You piano will then be placed and secured on special moving equipment before being transported into our truck for safe travel, where it is draped with 2 more pads in our truck before it is double ratchet strapped to the interior.   

All our our trucks are equipped with several 2 ft wide sheets of plywood, which are useful to ramp steps at the font door, over curbs, or place over our rubber, floor runners for extremely delicate floors, for added protection.  In addition, our trucks carry full size 12ft to 14 ft ramps to over come flights of stairs outside the house.  Where access doesn't permit we utilize a piano skid, which is also used for all flights of stairs inside the home.  For level runs from the house to the truck your piano will be placed on one of our platform dollies and secured.

At the delivery we'll do the complete process in reverse and once again do an inspection on your piano.

We challenge any piano mover to offer a more professional service!

The cost of moving your piano is determined by how many men will be required to move the piano.  This is calculated by the size of the piano, access on both ends of your move, which include stairs or multiple flights of stairs, length of walk, turns, landing or corners on stairs, tightness of stairways,  entrances or hallways and other obstacles like trees, hills, small cliffs, rivers we've batted them all!. 

Main floor to main floor moves are the easiest and can usually be done fairly quickly within 10-15 minutes on each end of the move.  A main floor to main floor move may consist of a couple steps to a short 4-6 step straight flight outside the home. 

Internal moves also tend to be very quick as well and usually fall within our minimum charge with easy access, from one room to another on the main floor, garage into the home, up or down a flight within the home keeping in mind easy access.

The most difficult piano moves typically are those coming out of basements, many times there have been renovations done to the home since the piano went down and the access is tighter, any move where a flight of stairs involves  a partial landing or pie shaped step on a turn or where there is a tight turn any where along the stairs, top, middle or bottom.  Curving, low clearance and short landings also bring their own difficulties.  All of these situations described will require a minimum of 3 men on your move.  It's important when booking your move you give us the most accurate description of your access at both locations.  Where necessary pianos with difficult access may require a waiver for both the piano and surrounding structures in order to proceed with the move.
