"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+++++"

"The three movers who came to work with us arrived on time and were very nice gentlemen. It took about half an hour to take the piano out of the apartment and load it in the truck.  When they finished moving I checked everything and it was absolutely without any scratches or something. Super nice and reliable service."

"I've moved around the country a number of times, and I have to say, these were the best movers I've encountered! I didn't read Angieslist for those past moves, and that was clearly my mistake. These guys showed up on time and delivered on budget. And then they did more. I had already disassembled some items and packed them up before they arrived. Fast forward to hours later when they delivered the items, they actually assembled the items for me! (I also had a grand piano, and Precision brought in four movers to get the done job right and safely. Other movers said they could do it with three people.)"

"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)."

"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."

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

Most upright pianos weigh between 500 and 1000 pounds. Other vertical pianos, which are sometimes confused with upright pianos, may be between 200 and 500 pounds. Spinet pianos weigh between 200 and 400 pounds, console pianos are 350 to 450 pounds, and studio pianos are 400 to 500 pounds.

The cost to ship furniture can range from $300 to $4,500 per piece, depending on the size and weight of the item and where it’s being shipped to. For a cross-country move, which companies consider any distance over 400 miles, it will cost $300 to $800 per piece to ship furniture. For an international move, shipping will cost around $1,000 to $4,500 per piece.

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.

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.

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.
