"The service was really bad. On the move in day., they left our piano under the sun for hours when the temperature was 85 degrees because they didn't assign enough movers to the job. They broke a heirloom desk lamp and damaged 10 plus other stuffs during the move. I paid extra $500 for extra coverage insurance and submitted claim on time. They never replied to me in written. A staff called me a couple of times saying i would receive something via email, guess what, I never did. Today is the settlement deadline, they still didn't reply. Do NOT use this company! Updated 1/05/2020 Resolution agreement was settled."

"The process--from hiring to completion of move--was seamless and perfectly executed. Don and his team of two helpers arrived on time and worked quickly, efficiently and--most importantly--carefully to move an entire apartment's worth of furniture from a storage unit 25 miles away, then up two flights of stairs without any breakage. They even did it all in two hours! Super nice owner and honest company, highly recommend."

"I have now hired H Johnson for 3 different moves, and I have recommended them many times. They are the only moving company I will use in the Cincinnati area. I've always found the team to be very responsive, professional, and competitively priced. I have never had any issues with moving logistics or items not being handled carefully.
The only reason I gave a "B" for quality, was related to the packing services. My wife and I were not very impressed with the level of of organization or detail with the packing, and we paid a premium for the service. Many items, not related, were grouped together, and it did not seem like a professional job.
That being said, our move went flawlessly and was fast despite the weather (non-stop rain for 5 hours). I would strongly recommend H Johnson for moving (just not packing).

"Wonderful, wonderful service! Movers were on time, professional and very quick! The company was VERY accomodating with our request to keep our belongings on their truck overnight as we worked to close on two homes (sell and purchase). Due to a change in schedule, the movers came very late in the day to unload and we were only charged a small amount extra to accomdate their overtime pay. The movers disassembled all large pieces of furniture (beds, dressers with mirrors, etc) and packed all items securely with blankets ... they placed all furniture exactly where we wanted it in the new home and assembled all furtniture ... we had NO damages! I would highly recommend Jeffers (this is the third time I have used them for a home move) ... I love that they provide the truck and their rates are strictly by the hour. A great company!"

"Hiring this company saved me so much time! I moved from a condo on the ground floor to one on the 3rd floor. I tried moving some of the boxes myself and quickly realized I wouldn’t be able to move the rest myself, with the help of my friends. They were done so much faster than I would have been able to. Also I had some pretty cheap furniture (like I was worried the barstool would break is someone say on it the wrong way) and they were able to get the furniture to the new place without a scratch! The guys were so friendly and I would definitely hire them for the next time I move!"

Piano Moving FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

Services typically take 1-2 hours, depending on the unit and complexity of the relocation.

You should consider hiring professional movers for moves that seem too daunting, dangerous, or involve large, heavy objects. The larger your home and the longer the distance, the more likely you are to need professional help. A moving service can take the hardest tasks off your plate and reduce the risk of personal injury. However, if you are only moving a few light items, you can save money by moving on your own and renting a truck. Keep in mind that a DIY move requires significant planning and time. A hybrid option is also available, where you hire movers just to lift and transport heavy items to your vehicle.

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.
