"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."

"Jean and the team helped on moving my piano and other furniture from New Jersey to Delaware. They were professional, nice and friendly, answered all the questions promptly and with great patience. They were punctual, reasonable for the price and flexible to the added requests. They are among the top moving companies I have been using in the past 20 years, and I will definitely hire them again."

"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."

"Movers were fast and professional. They knew how to setup the piano and even pointed out several things to us. They provided pre-move damage pictures as well. They worked within a very tight time frame and on short notice. Would highly recommend them to anyone needing a piano moved."

"We had an amazing experience with On-Time Movers! They moved us into our two bedroom apartment (a two hour job) in one hour. They were able to stay afterwards so we took advantage of their furniture assembling services! They charged us a very fair rate for the move/assembling. (It was half the price of other companies we had spoken to). Everyone was professional and made our move painless!"

"Our experience with G&G moving was excellent.  The communication pre-move couldn't have been better.  I received replies to my emails and calls almost immediately.  Leading up to the move, I had a phone call to confirm and set the time of their arrival.  On the day of the move, I received a phone call to give me 15 minute arrival time. 
The 3-person team was on time, professional, courteous, and got right to work.  We had heavy pieces of furniture that they moved with a few dings, but that was expected on our end. We also had exercise equipment downstairs that was quite difficult to get out of the basement that really slowed things down.   I know I was surprised on how much harder the move was.  I totally underestimated the job.  I think if I had been realistic they would have sent more than 3 people.  That being said, when the movers realized that they needed more people, they called and another mover came to help. 
What is really good about G&G Moving that you might not realize is a HUGE factor to consider when choosing a mover is that they charge a "flat rate."  I know I would have been STRESSING that the move was taking longer than I had planned if it had been a 3 hour + hourly charge. 
The team was very competent.  They had someone with expertise in taking furniture apart and back together, they had someone who specialized in appliances (which was very helpful getting a W&D into a small laundry room - he knew the tricks!)
Everything went as well as could be expected for the size of the move and my underestimating the difficulty of the move.  We definitely will highly recommend this company to our friends.
Realistically, looking back on the move, it went as smoothly as one could expect.

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

Typically, local moves involve either renting a moving truck and moving yourself or hiring local movers to do the job. For long-distance moves, options include hiring a full-service moving company that handles packing, loading, transportation, and unloading, or using a self-moving service where you load your belongings into a container or trailer and have it transported. Another option is hiring professional movers for labor-only services, where they assist with loading and unloading your rented truck. You can also opt for moving pods or moving containers that can be transported to the destination.

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. 

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.

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.

Pool tables are exceptionally heavy, some weighing as much as 2,500 pounds. As a result, they require multiple movers to move, and because of their size, it's difficult to get them upstairs or around tight corners. You can save money on pool table moving by using your own packing supplies and disassembling them before movers arrive.
