Pianos We Move
Whether you are moving the instrument across the room or across the province, our dedicated piano moving team has the expertise to handle various sizes and styles, including:
Upright & Console Pianos
The most common household pianos can still weigh between 300 and 800 pounds. Their top-heavy nature makes them notoriously difficult to move without the right leverage. We secure the keyboard lid, wrap the entire body, and use our specialized trolleys to navigate tight corners and doorways with ease.
Baby Grand & Grand Pianos
Moving a grand piano is a complex operation that requires disassembly. Our skilled movers carefully remove the pedals, legs, and lid, wrapping each piece individually. The main body is then secured to a specialized piano board and strapped tightly for transport.
(Note: Please specify the size and type of your grand piano when requesting a quote so we can allocate the right manpower and tools).
Our 4-Step Piano Moving Process
1. Accurate Assessment & Quote Contact us with the details of your piano (type, size) and the layout of both locations (stairs, tight turns, elevators). We will provide a transparent, accurate quote.
2. Complete In-Home Wrapping Before the piano moves an inch, it is meticulously wrapped in premium, heavy-duty moving blankets and secured with stretch wrap and tape.
3. Strategic Loading & Transport Using our professional piano straps and trolleys, we carefully navigate the piano out of your home. It is then hoisted into our moving truck via ramp or liftgate and strapped securely to the truck walls to prevent any shifting during transit.
4. Unloading & Exact Placement Upon arrival, we navigate the piano into your new space, reassemble any removed parts (for grand pianos), and place it exactly where you want it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have the right equipment to move my piano without damaging my floors?
Absolutely. We always come equipped with the right tools for the job. We use professional-grade piano trolleys with non-marking rubber wheels, heavy-duty moving straps, and we lay down protective floor runners to ensure your hardwood, tile, and laminate floors remain pristine.
Will my piano need to be tuned after it is moved?
Yes, it is highly recommended. While we move your piano with the utmost care to prevent any physical damage, the natural changes in temperature, humidity, and the slight vibrations from the moving truck will typically throw the instrument out of tune. We recommend waiting about two weeks for the piano to acclimate to its new environment before hiring a tuner.
