"The 2 gentlemen, Joe and Dale, were very pleasant, polite and professional. They called me in the morning from my mother's condo to discuss the condition of the piano before they moved it. And they arrived timely to load. They arrived in Fort Myers at the time expected and were very efficient moving the piano into my home. Thank you for a wonderful experience."

"The two movers were punctual and extremely hard working. They were able to meet my unreasonable timeframe and performed the work with a smile on their faces. I had several large pieces of furniture that had to go into narrow areas and they moved the pieces without a nick or scratch on any wall. I used to work for a moving company in college and I have seen people that don’t know what hey are doing. Ace movers are professionals that you can rely on to get the job done."

"The person who I spoke to on the phone to make the appointment was very courteous and professional. The movers were on time and professional. They moved the piano without a problem and placed it exactly where I wanted it. Worth every penny I paid. The only reason I gave them a B on price is because I think $150 would be acceptable and I’m always looking for a better deal."

"G&G Moving was simply outstanding!  They provided the kind of customer service that we expect, but don’t often receive. Every aspect of this process was handled in a timely manner, from the quote (the lowest price compared to three other companies), box delivery, and finally with Vernon and his team’s arrival on move day.  Our move required two trips, and the team handled it with efficiency, while maintaining the integrity of our furniture.  If we ever require moving services in the future, G&G will absolutely be our moving company of choice."

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

A DIY move is cheaper than paying movers. However, hiring professional movers can save you time and stress.

Qualified piano movers will take several steps to protect your piano from damage during the move. First, they'll wrap the piano to protect its finish. Ideally, they'll wrap the piano in a specialized blanket that features a soft, padded interior and a tougher exterior. 

After wrapping your piano, the movers will securely strap it to a dolly for safe transport to and from the moving truck. Once the piano is in the truck, movers might put the piano on a piece of plywood to help level it during the move, depending on the truck bed. They will then strap it in place so it doesn't shift around during the drive to your final destination.

Moving companies offer a variety of service packages to suit different needs and budgets during the moving process. They typically provide loading, unloading, and transportation services, using specialized equipment to handle heavy and bulky items. Services can also include packing assistance, where professional packers securely pack belongings to ensure their safety during transportation. Some moving companies also offer temporary storage options, as well as unpacking services upon arrival.

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.

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.
