"Courteous and responsive staff who scheduled my move of items within the home within days. Flexible on timing and even offered to send movers at earlier time. Provided 3 men instead of 2 at the same price. The movers were personable, professional, took care with my belongings and my home. Were extremely efficient in disassembling and reassembling larger furniture for movement up and down 3 flights of stairs. Completed moving two bedrooms and a home office worth of furniture in less than 2 hours. I would highly recommend Sebastian Moving and should I need this type of service again I wouldn't hesitate to use them."
"Kimberly was professional. responsive, and incredibly helpful! Brandin and Cody who moved us, were absolutely amazing! They are personable, quick without sacrificing appropriate care of our furniture and delicate possessions and such a pleasure to work with. Couldn't recommend or praise them enough."
"Would absolutely recommend them, very professional and careful... definitely know what they are doing. They moved my spinet player piano ... was tall and very heavy. Best company for this type of move. I will always use them when I have any furniture to move."
"I cannot say enough good things about Teleport Moving and Storage! I have used them for many moves in the last couple of years, and I have only ever had a super experience. Jonathan is a lovely man who has done all of the scheduling for our moves. He's communicative and replies quickly, whether I call or text him, and it makes the scheduling process so easy. Moving is generally pretty stressful, and I just find that Teleport's awesome level of communication makes it as low stress a process as it can be. Yesterday, I had a team of 3 awesome gentlemen come to our home to pack up and move our second floor into a storage unit, on our driveway, to get ready for a remodel. Anthony, Keigan and Lynwood are an incredibly professional, efficient, hard working, and personable team of movers! This wonderful group of men also did our move after my dad passed away a couple of moths ago, and we needed to clean out and move the contents of his apartment. I was so impressed with them then, that I requested that they be the team on our move yesterday. I was sure it would take them 2 days to pack and move our 2nd floor into storage, but they worked unbelievably hard and efficiently and finished the job in just over 7 hours. We were blown away at the speed and care with which they were able to complete this job. If you're looking for movers that will do the job right, not overcharge you, and handle the job professionally, I highly recommend Teleport Moving and Storage."
"Without hesitation, I highly recommend Woody & Sons Moving. Definitely the BEST MOVERS we've ever used! The guys showed up on time and worked very hard all day. Amazingly, they took the stress out of the move with their teamwork, pleasant smiles, and reassuring demeanor. They made the whole day a breeze!"
"We had a great experience with Jochas moving company. My mother-in-law previously used Jochas to move her garage and patio furniture to a new place and they were complete with their project in under an hour! She referred the company to us for an efficient and budget-friendly moving solution and I am so glad she did. It took just under three hours for the three movers to load the moving truck with our furniture and belongs, travel 10 miles north, and unload our items. I am halfway through unpacking and nothing has been broken or damaged from the move. Dave was our lead team member and we also had Charles and Gyasi to help us move. They were professional and very kind. Thank you!"

"Today's move of my elderly parents into an independent living community could not have gone better as far as the equipment and personnel from Moving Ahead Services is concerned. The move was difficult for my parents because they have lived in their home for 53 years and my Mom has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and is having challenges dealing with the changes in her life. Jake did an excellent job leading the team and everyone who participated in the move was courteous, kind, polite and patient with my parents and family members. I would certainly recommend Moving Ahead Services to anyone planning a move."
"Checkmate movers did a great job in moving our belongings. They work quickly and are very courteous. Special attention to fragile items. Responded well to questions. If you're looking for good help at a reasonable price, Checkmate Movers can get it done."
To prepare for moving a piano, start by documenting its current condition with photos in case of any damage during the move. Secure the piano's lid and wrap the instrument, including its keys and pedals, with bubble wrap and moving blankets for protection. Note that if you have hired professional piano movers, they may handle this step for you.
Next, prepare the space. Measure any tight spaces or doorways to ensure the piano will fit through. Clear a wide path from the piano's location to the exterior door, removing any furniture or obstacles. It is also helpful to prop open doors to make the exit easier.
On moving day, ensure the moving truck can park as close to the exit as possible. For safety, keep children and pets away from the moving area to prevent accidents or distractions.
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 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.
Deciding whether it's worth it to hire movers depends on your budget, patience, and physical capabilities. It's difficult to gauge the amount of work that moving calls for, and it's easy to be off by about tenfold.
If you're able to call in some favors and round up friends to help, you might get through it just fine, but if you only have a few hands helping, things can quickly get overwhelming. Either way, bringing in the pros will save considerable time and stress, so if it's within your budget, it's a great investment.
The best way to find a reliable piano mover is to get a recommendation from a family member or friend. If that’s not possible, you can contact local piano movers and ask the following questions to find a reputable company:
How will you pack and prepare my piano for the move?
Do you offer a guarantee or moving insurance?
How many years of experience do you have?
Do I need to do any prep work before you arrive?
Are you licensed and insured?
