"Baltic movers were excellent. On time, professional and friendly. Did the job perfectly. Moved my upright piano and some other home stuff very well. Would hire them back"
"The movers were very knowledgeable and professional. Edwin kept us laughing, which isn't easy in the midst of a move! We had 4 movers and they didn't leave until everything was placed and assembled exactly the way we wanted. This is how moving should be!"
"The movers Christian, Sergei, Devon were exceptionally awesome. They were were very caring, considerate and helpful. I would request that they move me anytime."
"Everything was perfect. Movers were able to show up for a "last minute" move. They were not only on time, but early. Got the job done quickly. Wrapped everything for the move. I was going to do the move myself, however, after this experience, I was so pleased, why put myself through all that work. And the cost was far below what other movers wanted. Cut rate price for top rated movers!!!"
"BEST move ever!! The communication prior to the move was superb and the two movers were amazing!! They worked so quickly and had such a positive "can do" attitude!! Very professional!! No need to look any further . . . THIS is the moving company you need!"
"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."
"The 3-person team to move our 3-bedroom house was on time and exceptionally efficient. I've had a horrible experience with a previous moving company (our first time using a moving company) making me very hesitant about the professionalism in the industry but this company has changed my views. I highly recommend Teleport Moving and Storage and will use them again if needed."
"Angel Movers were excellent from the first phone call through complete move. Rick was quite flexible in working with my schedule for pickup and delivery. The moving team (Moses, John, and Ferris) were very professional and pleasant to work with. They did a great job handling all out bulking furniture including a piano. Great company. Great team. Excellent work!"
"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!"
Yes, in almost all cases, it is worth the investment to hire professional piano movers. Pianos are not only heavy and bulky but are also often expensive and delicate instruments. Attempting to move one yourself poses a significant risk of damage to the piano, your home, and can lead to serious personal injury, especially when navigating stairs. The average cost of hiring professional movers (around $400) is typically much less than the potential cost of repairs, replacement, or medical bills that could result from an unsuccessful DIY move.
Moving a washer and dryer can be difficult due to the appliances’ weight and size. If you need to move these appliances up or down stairs, then it will be more challenging. It also depends on the type of dryer you have, as a gas dryer is more complicated to disconnect than an electric dryer. The difficulty of the task also depends on whether you’re easily wheeling the washer and dryer up a moving truck’s loading ramp or lifting them yourself.
The best ways to prepare for movers include decluttering and properly labeling boxes. Decluttering lessens the workload and ensures you are not bringing unwanted items into your new home. Labeling boxes lets movers know which rooms they belong in, reducing confusion when it's time to unpack.
Old pianos can be hard to sell for a few reasons. Pianos fifty years or older may only sell for several hundred dollars and will often cost more to transport to the new owners. Restoring a piano also costs well into the thousands, making it pretty hard to make your money back. In most cases, donating or recycling the parts of a piano is more cost-efficient and beneficial in the long run.
Professional movers take care of safely loading, transporting, and unloading all of your belongings. Many movers also offer specialty pricing for whole-house packing, furniture disassembly, relocating fragile items, and more. You’ll benefit from having a moving team take care of your move quickly and efficiently.
