"The move couldn't have gone better. Communication was excellent, and the timing of the move went exactly as expected. The gentlemen who performed the move were friendly, professional, and very careful. Their experience was very evident. I would definitely hire Affordable Piano Movers again, should the need to move my piano comes up. A+++++"

"Jose and his team were awesome! We were under a lot of stresses because we were trying to buy and sell ( close two transactions on the same day) however, things didn’t turn out the way we wanted. The funding and recording didn’t go until the next day. We had to call Jose to switch to the next day, even though he was all booked. He still managed to squeeze us in!!! Super hard working crew! We would hire them again for moving!"

"This past summer my wife and I made the difficult decision to list our Mission Viejo, CA home we had lived in for nearly nine years. We were pulling up roots and relocating to Cedar City, UT. Our four kids would be obliged to start over in brand-new schools and make all new friends. We felt great anxiety and stress. No sooner had we gone into escrow than we began being inundated with postcards from moving companies all touting their services and claiming to be awesome. We had never done a move before that a few buddies and a simple U-Haul couldn't handle. An interstate move with a 26-foot truck chock-full of a decade's worth of stuff was unprecedented for us. So I began sifting through these postcards, making calls, and checking online reviews. As you might expect, many of these companies weren't quite so awesome after all. Recurring themes in the reviews were final price being very different from quoted price, need to pay upfront (with cash or cashier's check at that), stuff getting damaged, stuff not arriving at all, stuff being held hostage on truck till higher price paid, workers being jerks, bullies, no recourse through manager or customer service after the fact, etc. Yikes. What an industry. And what an experience I wanted to avoid if at all possible. Moving is stressful enough as it is. The final postcard I called on was WeMoveU. The owner Brian and operations manager Jared told me the company had only been around a few months, and they were trying to build a good reputation through honesty, transparency, consistently excellent work, etc., in order to generate positive reviews, referrals, and good word of mouth. What a concept. I checked online and saw only glowing reviews. So I decided to go with WeMoveU, and they turned out to be an outstanding choice. I only had three requirements: 1) Don't vary from the price you quoted me. They didn't. Theirs wasn't the lowest bid but it seemed reasonable and realistic. I did not want a bait-and-switch. They told me I was receiving a binding estimateâ meaning it can't change. And they stayed true to that. 2) Load up the truck on Friday in Mission Viejo, CA, and unload the truck the next morning in Cedar City, UT. They did. With bells on. And with strength and efficiency that left me in awe. 3) Don't mess up the piano. They didn't. And I paid them only after everything was unloaded and sitting in our new house. And they even set up our beds and hooked up our washer and dryer. I cannot thank them enough for the wonderful job they did and for giving us one less thing to worry about during this uneasy period. I wholeheartedly recommend WeMoveU to anyone planning a move. A word on tipping professional movers. I was very uninitiated when it came to hiring a professional moving company so I mention this if it's helpful. Like tipping a waiter at a restaurant, it is apparently quite customary in the moving industry to tip workers who load and unload trucks. Not doing so is considered a major faux pas. (Maybe I should have known this but I didn't.) Regardless, I learned that a rule of thumb might be something like $10 per hour per mover. So if there are four movers loading and it takes them four hours, that's about $40 you should be prepared to pay out, to each one, before the truck leaves. Cash or Venmo. And if there are four movers unloading (even if they are the same people) and it takes them another three hours at the back end, that's another roughly $30 per person you should be doling out. So an additional $280 (in this hypothetical example) on top of the quote for the move. Just something to keep in mind so you're not caught off guard (like I was)."

"This company was recommended to me by our sellers, who used them to move to Monrovia. The house is on a steep hill, so the movers had to use a smaller truck, a little larger than a U-Haul or Ryder truck, but much smaller than a mover's semi. We were quoted $75 per hour for 3 hours minimum, for two guys and the truck. (Sellers were quoted $95 per hour.) The day before the move, TLC called back to ask whether we wanted a third guy for $15 more (so: $95/hr for 3 guys). It seemed they wanted to finish quicker because the weather was *abominably* hot. We knew that the move would take at least three hours with the amount of junk we had, so we figured that the third guy would make things go faster and save us some money. We were glad we approved the third guy. The guys showed up in a plain white truck exactly at 9:00 am as scheduled. They were extremely friendly, professional and cordial, wearing a TLC uniform (t-shirts). They worked well together. Also they provided the use of wardrobe boxes for free for moving clothing on hangers. Our stuff didn't quite fit all in one trip and a second trip was needed. Overall the entire move took 6 hours. The guys were very grateful that we offered them sodas and cold water to drink. (We offered beer, too, but they politely and regretfully declined.) The movers seemed very familiar with our neighborhood and seemed to have moved at least three other houses on the block at one time or another. We also had a falling-apart patio umbrella that they offered to take back to their dumpster to dispose of, free. Overall we had a great experience with TLC and definitely recommend them for local moves."

I was extremely pleased with the service.  The reason I chose this mover was because they specified that they would do small jobs.  They have a 4 hour minimum, but said that would probably be able to do the initial move in two hours and the second part of the move in the remaining two hours, and charge me the $200 for 4 hours.  However, the second half of the move took slightly longer, due to the need to apply felt pads to all my furniture and more carefully place it on the new hardwood floor.  These movers took amazing care, setting up a "staging area" at the top of the stairs where thick moving pads were put on the floor. Each piece of furniture was placed there and the felt pads were put on before the furniture was moved into place.  I had purchased felt pads in advance, but when we ran out, they had some in their truck and provided them free of charge.  So the additional $50 charge was for the extra hour it took to do this very careful move, and well worth it.  There was no damage at all to the new floor.

The movers were very professional and the owner Mike is very eager to please his customers.  He called to follow-up with me and see if I was completely satisfied.  There were two small issues.  I have three floor and it is extremely difficult to move large furniture up and down the three flights of stairs, so slight problems always occur.  In this case, the corner of my couch was dirtied in the move, however, Mike said I should call a professional upholstery cleaner and he would pay for any costs.  Turned out I was able to clean it myself, so all was well.  We also had some confusion over the time of arrival on the final moving day, but when they arrived, they did a superb job.

I would definitely use this moving company again.

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

Traveling with your automobile over short distances when moving is typically less expensive than shipping it with a transport company. However, consumers start to break even at around 500 miles. It's typically less costly and worth shipping your car with a professional transport company if the distance you're going exceeds 500 miles.

When loading a moving truck, the general rule is to load the heaviest and largest items first to create a stable base at the front of the truck, which helps balance the weight. You can start with large furniture like sofas, beds, mattresses, and tables to form a solid foundation, or begin by placing your heaviest boxes against the truck's walls to create a base layer. After the base is set, continue loading other large items like appliances and square furniture. Lighter and smaller objects, including most of your boxes, should be loaded last. They can be packed into gaps, around, and on top of the heavier items to maximize space. Following this order makes unloading easier and helps prevent damage to your belongings.

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.

The best way to find a reliable piano mover is to get a recommendation from a family member or friend. If that’s not possible, you can contact local piano movers and ask the following questions to find a reputable company:

  • How will you pack and prepare my piano for the move?

  • Do you offer a guarantee or moving insurance?

  • How many years of experience do you have?

  • Do I need to do any prep work before you arrive?

  • Are you licensed and insured?

While it's not expected, tipping junk haulers is a kind gesture when the team goes above and beyond for piano disposal. Lugging and breaking down a piano requires specialized equipment, maneuvering, and a lot of strength. When your junk haulers take particularly good care of your home during the process, consider tipping between 10% and 20% of the total bill to split among the team or $10 to $20 per hauler.
