"It went great. Omar was very responsive, quick and accommodating. He also went above and beyond by helping me move a grand piano upstairs. The process was very challenging because the stair case was tight and narrow. He and his co-worker was helping him out. It took them both several hours to get it down but it all got taken care of and they never charged us any additional fees for that."

"Really great.  nothing broken, scratched, dented, or missing.  Great crew of experienced movers, efficiently moved packed and moved everything as a team.  Nice touches: they moved our fridge out and brought up the landlords  fridge from the basement and set it up. Laid our rugs down. Took apart the couch to get it out of the apt. and reassembled it in the new house.  
placing it on the hardwood floor without scratching it.  I've used other movers in several moves. These guys were the best.

"Movers on the Go did a great job with our recent move.  They were timely, friendly and professional, fast, and careful with both our possessions and the building, and very reasonably priced.  We have some large furniture that had to be moved through some tight spaces in our old condo - they were careful with both our furniture and the building.  At our new house, they kindly put boxes in the rooms we requested, making unpacking easy for us.  Per my request, they wrapped all of our large art pieces in moving blankets, and everything came through the move in good condition.    
This is our second time moving with Dominic and his crew, and they did a great job both times.  We're very satisfied and highly recommend Movers on the Go!

"Very well.  Two men both very professional who have worked for Rosengard for many years now.  Hard working.  This was my second time using them in 8 years.  Will be using them again to move from storage into a new place.

"BQ Transport moved us from CA to NY. From start to finish; the movers were professional and friendly. They were particularly helpful because our move was at short notice, but they managed to fit us in. On moving day, the team turned up on time, worked hard, and were very polite, considerate, and friendly. Everything was moved with care and positioned where we wanted. I would highly recommend."

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

It is certainly possible to move a piano without hiring movers, but it’s not recommended. Not only will you need at least four people to lift and maneuver the piano, but getting it around tight corners and down flights of stairs might not be possible without the help of movers. Plus, pianos are exceptionally heavy and bulky, which means you and any helping hands are at risk of injury, as well as an increased risk of damaging your piano. Ultimately, it’s always worth it to call in a professional piano mover.

Yes, you can very carefully lay down a grandfather clock to move it, but it requires a bit of prep work. Remember, all of your clock's components and mechanisms are delicate, and shifting them can cause serious damage. Before laying it down, you will need to remove these pieces, plus the weights and the pendulum.

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.

There are several effective ways to save money when hiring a moving company, primarily by handling some tasks yourself and being strategic with scheduling. Consider these methods:

  • Pack Your Own Belongings: You can significantly reduce costs by packing and protecting your items yourself. This includes wrapping delicate items, organizing them into boxes, and taping the boxes closed. You can use towels, clothes, and suitcases to pack belongings and protect breakables.

  • Provide Your Own Materials: Source free packing materials from friends and family, or reuse boxes and bubble wrap from a previous move.

  • Schedule Strategically: Book your move well in advance. Rates are often lower if you schedule your move on a weekday during the off-season, which typically runs from October through April.

  • Compare Quotes: Get moving quotes from at least three professional movers in your area. This allows you to compare services and choose the best value.

  • Ask for Discounts: Inquire if the moving company offers any special coupons or deals.

  • Purchase Moving Insurance: Protect your investment by purchasing moving insurance, especially for expensive or antique belongings.

  • Divide the Labor: While you can save money by packing, it's wise to leave the more dangerous and physically demanding work—like loading, unloading, and moving heavy furniture—to the professionals.

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.
