"lMother was in the emer room in Columbus, Ga Friday after falling for the 6th time in 4 months , this date is  1-24-2014. I live in Fl.  I called John at the Move Connection in Lake City Fl. Monday which is now 1-27-2014 he arranged for her to be moved on Thurs 1-30-2014 to Daytona Bch Fl to be near her sister, what an amazing experience to have such a company you can call on anytime . Mother  had been in her house for 62 years so you can imagine the amount of furniture,which included German Krystal , German  Hummel collection , oil paintings and clocks from the Black Forrest in Germany. It took a complete 53' truck plus 2 cars for the move . Not one piece of furniture was damaged or broken. This was all packed by the movers because neither my mother or myself could pack. I wanted to also say that I was furnished his name from a friend that had used this company, and I have since referred them to another friend that used them. Word of mouth is the  best advertisement..Wanted to post a + for this company.Hats off to this company.Thank you for making my mother happy and me. Joyce M.

Piano Moving FAQs, answered by experts

You should consider hiring professional movers for moves that seem too daunting, dangerous, or involve large, heavy objects. The larger your home and the longer the distance, the more likely you are to need professional help. A moving service can take the hardest tasks off your plate and reduce the risk of personal injury. However, if you are only moving a few light items, you can save money by moving on your own and renting a truck. Keep in mind that a DIY move requires significant planning and time. A hybrid option is also available, where you hire movers just to lift and transport heavy items to your vehicle.

No, not tipping movers isn’t considered rude. Tipping is optional, not expected. There are plenty of alternative ways to show your appreciation without tipping.

The average cost to hire professional movers is approximately $1,700, but the total price can range from as low as $920 to over $12,000 depending on the move's complexity. For local moves, typically under 100 miles, costs generally fall between $920 and $2,530. Long-distance moves are more expensive, with prices ranging from $2,700 to $10,000 or more.

Several key factors influence the final cost:

  • Distance and Home Size: The mileage of the move and the size of your home.

  • Number of Movers: Hourly rates can range from $25 to $50 for one or two movers, increasing to $100 to $200 for a team of four or more.

  • Services: Additional services like packing, unpacking, and storage will add to the cost.

  • Specialty Items: Moving large or delicate items such as pianos, vehicles, or large aquariums incurs extra charges.

  • Timing and Access: The time of year, your specific moving date, and the ease of access to your home can affect rates.

Don’t forget to account for other potential costs like moving supplies and tipping your movers.

Yes, moving a piano often causes it to become out of tune, even if you're not moving the piano very far. One reason is that any temperature and humidity changes can affect a piano's tuning. Additionally, the bumps and jolts from a moving truck usually push a piano out of tune. 

However, don't jump right to tuning it once the piano gets to your new home. Instead, it's best to wait at least two weeks for the instrument to acclimate to its new environment. After a couple weeks, you'll get an idea of what the piano will really sound like in its new home, at which point you can call a piano technician to get it properly tuned.

Moving straps like forearm or shoulder straps can usually support up to 800 pounds, sometimes more with specialized straps. However, that doesn’t mean that one person can always lift that much weight, just that the straps are rated for that amount. For example, some straps require two people working together to balance the weight of the heavy item.
