"The furniture moving itself went just fine and was done very professionally. There seemed to be some confusion when we called the day before to confirm that they would be coming the next day. However, that issue got ironed out. There was also some issue with their coming the second time as they were going to be out of state on another job when we wanted them to come back. They worked that out, however, to our satisfaction. Pricewise, their hourly rate was very reasonable and they do not charge for "drive time" as some other movers do. They do have a three hour minimum for each job, which in our case involved us paying the minimum twice. This amounted to us paying for six hours for two jobs which only took an hour each time. They handled every thing with care so basically, we were satisfied and would use them again. Wish they could work something out for jobs like ours where only a few heavy pieces needed to be moved and they don't even need to use their truck, just their hand cart. They do have a discount for Angie's List members."

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

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.

When loading a moving truck, the general rule is to load the heaviest and largest items first to create a stable base at the front of the truck, which helps balance the weight. You can start with large furniture like sofas, beds, mattresses, and tables to form a solid foundation, or begin by placing your heaviest boxes against the truck's walls to create a base layer. After the base is set, continue loading other large items like appliances and square furniture. Lighter and smaller objects, including most of your boxes, should be loaded last. They can be packed into gaps, around, and on top of the heavier items to maximize space. Following this order makes unloading easier and helps prevent damage to your belongings.

Gym equipment can be heavy, so it’s best to transport it using a furniture dolly. When dealing with treadmills, weight machines, or other bulky items, hiring professional movers or roping in some friends and renting a moving van makes sense.

Tipping movers is not mandatory, and most professional companies do not expect it. However, it is a common way to show appreciation for their hard work and the care they take with your belongings and home. A standard tip is between 10% and 20% of your total bill, split among the crew, or about $10 per mover per hour, tipped individually. It's an especially good idea to tip if the movers work in difficult weather, handle specialty items like pianos or pool tables, provide extra packing services, or go above and beyond your expectations.

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.
