"First of all, my items moved from California to New Mexico were delivered in good condition. The only problem that I had is with Beefcake's customer service. I was scolded by Gabbie when she didn't receive my check on time that I had sent via UPS. I also provided her with a tracking number for the UPS letter. I had misunderstood that they needed the check within 2 days, but instead I thought that they needed the check to be sent out within 2 days and I was angrily scolded for not getting the check to them in time. I'm not sure if Gabbie still works at this moving company, but she should not speak down to any customer in this manner. I cannot recommend this moving company due to poor customer service."

Tilton's Almighty Piano Moving in Murrieta Ca, is a family-run and operated moving company based on faith, honesty, and friendly customer service. With over 33 years of experience in piano moving, we are the moving company to call for quality results each and every time. We want to provide better piano moving service than the average furniture movers. Many movers can move pianos, but it takes skilled professionals to move them safely and securely.

We are a Christ-centered family and we always treat our customers like family. We are the premier piano moving company, because we truly care about the people we provide service to. We are forging long-term relationships. We’re not creating customers for a project, but friends for life. Thank you for your interest and we look forward to working with you.

Moving services FAQs
Before hiring a moving company to help you with your move, there are a few things you will want to ask, including:
Is there anything your company won’t move?
Does workers’ compensation cover the crew?
Will you disassemble and reassemble the furniture?
Are there packing restrictions?
Can you guarantee my delivery date?
Can you provide references?
What do you charge extra for?
What is your cancellation policy?
Moving insurance helps protect your belongings from damage or loss during the moving process. This policy can help reimburse you either part of or the total amount of your belongings that become damaged during the moving process. Moving insurance has three main options: full value protection, released value protection, and third-party or separate liability coverage. Speak with your moving company to determine what is covered under each policy and their cost to determine the best fit for your needs.
The average cost to hire movers is between $920 and $2,530 for local moves and $2,700 to $10,000 for long-distance moves. The number of movers you need, the total mileage you’re moving, your moving date, and ease of access to your home all factor into the bottom line.
For example, if you only need one or two movers, you can expect to pay $25 to $50 an hour. However, if you need four or more movers, that charge increases to $100 to $200 an hour. Moving specialty items, like a piano or large aquarium, will incur additional charges.
In the world of professional moving, moves are broken up into two categories—a local move and a long-distance move. A local move is anything considered under 100 miles, regardless if you’re crossing over state lines. A long-distance move is anything over 100 miles, even if you stay in the same state or location.
If you’re hiring movers to help with your move, there are a few things that you can do ahead of time to set yourself (and the moving company) up for success.
Donate or sell items ahead of time to lessen the amount to move
Alert your neighbors (or apartment management) of the move so they can plan for the moving truck to arrive
Pack your belongings securely ahead of your moving date
Disconnect any appliances prior to the moving date
Clear a path for the movers to move freely inside your home
Dispose of hazardous materials
Discuss with your moving coordinator where to unload the boxes
