"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+++++"

"When they moved us out of our old home, they were thorough, friendly, and hard-working. They carefully loaded our things and were careful. The trouble with our move into our new home began the day before. They sent us a text message asking if they could start at 9 a.m. rather than noon. We were scheduled to have a final walk-through with our builder that morning and couldn't swing that big of a time change. The day of the move-in, we arrived at the storage unit as quickly as we could. They loaded the truck and were efficient. They laid down moving blankets on all of my floors so they wouldn't damage them. That was great, but they ruined an armchair because they decided to go through our sliding glass door rather than down the stairs. They wanted to waste time trying to fix it. (No offense, but I am not going to pay by the hour for you to fix something that you damaged.) They also put a large dent in the top of my practically new clothing washer. When we pointed it out, they said, "That wasn't there before?" Nope. It wasn't. They tried to fix it, which didn't work, and then only gave us a $40 discount off our bill. They were punctual, friendly and professional, but I'm not sure that we would hire them again."

"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."

"Last month we moved our 3 year old apartment to our newly build home. One of the main difficulty was moving our $1500 kitchen reno safely. Some high cost items there. My office staff said about CalState moving company when I needed a professional service. Their moving team in morning with their truck and we talked about a fair service fee. We both satisfied with it and they start to pack everything to their truck.moving process was very professional and all items handled with care. With their good work, we got moved all our items with zero damage .I like to use their service again and very happy to talked about them here."

"It was a pleasure working with Mike Campos and his crew at Diversified Movers.  Short notice was not a problem and Mike was very responsive.  The crew of three arrived ready to work and I was very impressed with their skills at moving some rather large pieces of furniture.  It was the best $300 I have spent in a long time.  Really saved me a lot of frustration trying to move everything myself.  I would highly recommend this company for anyone looking for assistance of any type of moving project.  If you are not sure if it is within your budget, or even feasible, just give Mike a call and he can help you decided.

Piano Moving FAQs, answered by experts

There are several effective ways to save money when hiring a moving company, primarily by handling some tasks yourself and being strategic with scheduling. Consider these methods:

  • Pack Your Own Belongings: You can significantly reduce costs by packing and protecting your items yourself. This includes wrapping delicate items, organizing them into boxes, and taping the boxes closed. You can use towels, clothes, and suitcases to pack belongings and protect breakables.

  • Provide Your Own Materials: Source free packing materials from friends and family, or reuse boxes and bubble wrap from a previous move.

  • Schedule Strategically: Book your move well in advance. Rates are often lower if you schedule your move on a weekday during the off-season, which typically runs from October through April.

  • Compare Quotes: Get moving quotes from at least three professional movers in your area. This allows you to compare services and choose the best value.

  • Ask for Discounts: Inquire if the moving company offers any special coupons or deals.

  • Purchase Moving Insurance: Protect your investment by purchasing moving insurance, especially for expensive or antique belongings.

  • Divide the Labor: While you can save money by packing, it's wise to leave the more dangerous and physically demanding work—like loading, unloading, and moving heavy furniture—to the professionals.

Unfortunately, moving scammers exist, so it’s important to thoroughly vet your moving company before scheduling a service date. Your moving company is likely legitimate if the offer fits within the average cost range, they provide proper contracts and moving insurance, don’t require a large deposit, and have several positive and recent online reviews from previous customers. Feel free to request previous customer information from the moving service and contact them to inquire about their experience to ease any lingering concerns.

Most moving companies don’t charge by weight or volume unless you’re freight shipping items. The cost of hiring movers typically depends on the number of movers and time spent on the task.

Most professional movers can provide a wide range of moving-related services, and you’ll need to pick and choose which ones you want to use. Examples of common services offered include the following:

  • Organizing and packing your belongings

  • Protecting delicate items with bubble wrap or other protective equipment

  • Moving your belongings and furniture out of your old home

  • Moving your belongings into your new home within a certain distance

  • Unpacking your belongings in the new location

  • Moving heavy items, like pianos

  • Moving your vehicles

  • Storage if your new home isn’t ready

Depending on the type of expense, it is possible to deduct moving costs on your taxes. For example, you can deduct for packing, crating, insurance, in-transit storage, and using a trailer. However, you cannot deduct expenses such as moving furniture, security deposits, and home buying and selling expenses.
