What should I do before piano movers arrive?

<div><p>Before your piano movers arrive, it’s a good idea to prep the piano for its journey to avoid damage, as well as clear a path to make the move as easy as possible. You can start by using bubble wrap and moving blankets to protect the keys, lids, and pedals. Drape moving blankets over the piano and secure them, if possible, to protect the surface from damage. Next, clear furniture and other obstructions out of the path from the piano to the door. It’s also wise to maintain a close spot for the moving truck to park out front.</p></div>

Is it worth it to hire piano movers?

<div><p>Yes, it is absolutely <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-you-need-hire-piano-movers.htm">worth it to hire piano movers</a>. Pianos are heavy and bulky, which makes them very challenging to move safely and without causing damage to the piano and your home. Hiring piano movers is especially worthwhile if you need to move the instrument up or down staircases, as that can put you and your helpers at risk of serious injury. Overall, the price you’ll pay to hire a professional piano mover pales in comparison to the damage you could do to your piano or your home if you attempt the move yourself.</p></div>

Should I tip piano movers?

<div><p>It is not necessary to tip piano movers, and workers from reputable companies generally won’t expect tips. However, if you’re pleased with the service and the movers are friendly and respectful, tipping can show your appreciation for how well the crew cared for what is likely a very expensive instrument. Tipping between <b>$20 and $40</b> <b>per mover</b> is about average.</p></div>

Is it okay to move a piano yourself?

<div><p>It is certainly possible to move a piano without hiring movers, but it’s not recommended. Not only will you need at least four people to lift and maneuver the piano, but getting it around tight corners and down flights of stairs might not be possible without the help of movers. Plus, pianos are exceptionally heavy and bulky, which means you and any helping hands are at risk of injury, as well as an increased risk of damaging your piano. Ultimately, it’s always worth it to call in a professional piano mover.</p></div>

How much do piano movers charge?

<div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/piano-moving-cost.htm">cost to move a piano</a> is around <b>$400</b>, but your total will depend on the type of piano and your living situation—tight corners and flights of stairs will complicate the move. Moving an upright piano will be more affordable—around <b>$250</b>—and a full grand piano will cost closer to <b>$550</b>. Long-distance moves will bump all of these prices up and sometimes double them if the move is across state lines.</p></div>

EZ Moving in LA is the team of professionals. Each team member have over 5 years of experience. Our main goal is to do job fast, without damages. My team never cut the edges, we do everything in a right way! Upon customer request prof of insurance can be provided.

"For your own safety and peace of mind please do not use this company. Last night this owner called me OVER 100 TIMES at 10pm on a Saturday night. (Probably would have continued if my phone didn't go on DND) I wish I was exaggerating. This isn't even an isolated incident as he's repeatedly done this. I'm not sure who in their right mind would do this but it doesn't seem like he's all there. Instead of addressing me as an appropriate business would when dealing with an unsatisfied client, he's stalking and harassing me. Thank god I've since moved otherwise I'm sure he'd be showing up at my door next. He even called my boyfriend and yelled at him calling him a c***sucker, a mother***er, among other things. You do not want to be doing business with someone as unhinged as him. As for the reason for this harassment, I had an issue with them overcharging me by several hours over the quote, and they took so long that me and my female friend were forced to do the majority of the unloading because we were told they wouldn't be done until 11pm. She and I were running up and down the stairs with boxes and we completed it within an hour yet I was still charged for 4+ hours. Not to mention how long they took to actually load up the truck when the only things that were being moved were packed up boxes, a small dining table, a desk, a bookcase, and two dressers. It wasn't even a complete one bedroom and they took as long as it would for a 2 bedroom. I tried to negotiate a reasonable solution but instead of responding, he is maliciously calling over and over again in the middle of the night. **these are not repeated photos. This is legitimately how much he called me."

Long Distance Moving & Storage. Household, Commercial, International, Corporate services available. Our Mission is To exceed expectations on every move. We live this day in and day out. Our service is top notch and fully efficient. Our trucks are perfectly equipped for moving with Pads, dollies, Plastic and much more. We provide Long Distance Moves across the entire country, directly from our West Coast HUBS located in AZ, CA, OR and WA. Or, we team with our partner companies to complete moves together. We are proud to provide a service that no other company offers; Dedicated Trucks. This means that your belongings are loaded on the truck and not combined with anyone else’s items (from/to west coast only). They are not transferred to other trucks or facilities in route which causes damage and loss of items (typical with van lines). We have a set loading day and unloading day. This is by far the safest way to ship. Our interstate rates are per 24ft moving van that holds up to 8,500lbs or 1400CuFt. Some customers require one truck and some require more. One truck holds the average 1800SqFt.

"I cannot say enough great things about All Service Moving—and ESPECIALLY Rico and Reyes, who were absolute lifesavers for my last-minute move. After another moving company bailed on me the day before my scheduled move, All Service swooped in and saved the day. Rico and Reyes showed up EARLY, upbeat, and ready to tackle the challenge—even with super heavy furniture that usually requires a 4-person crew. Somehow, the two of them handled everything like pros without a single scratch or ding—on the furniture or either home. What really stood out was how personable, kind, and thoughtful they were. They moved quickly and efficiently, knowing I was paying by the hour, but never once sacrificed care or quality. They were kind to my mom (who was helping me out), and so sweet to my two dogs too. If you’re planning a move, ask for Rico and Reyes by name. They went above and beyond, and I want their team to know what a fantastic job they did. They deserve every bit of recognition. 100% recommend."

I have been tuning and repairing pianos since 2022, despite my current set price i still offer flexible rates and special discounts.

"Perfect Pitch are miracle workers! When my grandpa passed away, we kept his piano unused in a storage unit for years. Recently, I moved into a space that was big enough to house his old piano. Perfect Pitch brought life into a forgotten and neglected instrument. They are amazing!"

"The actual movers were great, but then when it came time to pay, the bill was twice as much as we were originally quoted. Unfortunately, they took advantage of my older father. I emailed The Company a few times asking for an itemized breakdown of the charges since it was much more than we had anticipated. They just said it was an extra $500 for packing supplies. I asked for a breakdown of those packing supplies because I can?t imagine we used $500 worth. We also weren?t asked if we needed packing supplies and we didn?t approve anything on the day of. Since then they have started ignoring me. I encourage everyone to read yelp reviews as many, many other people have experienced this. Sure it?s a great service as long as you?re willing to pay twice as much as any other company."
