"Aviv responded immediately to my request on Angies List, got all my inventory information and gave me a quote over the phone. They had availability on short notice to send their truck and 3 crew members to move the furniture requested up a 3rd floor walk up apartment. They were fantastic, polite, fairly priced and on the ball. I definitely recommend them for your moving needs."

"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."

"Mass Bay Movers did an awesome job. Their three guys showed up at the schedule time and were very promotional. They were moving a 100 year old piano from Westwood to the Cape. They carefully wrapped the piano to protect it and delivered it in perfect condition. They then moved an electric piano from the Cape to Westwood. Thank you, Carole"

"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!

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

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.

The average cost to hire professional movers is approximately $1,700, but the total price can range from as low as $920 to over $12,000 depending on the move's complexity. For local moves, typically under 100 miles, costs generally fall between $920 and $2,530. Long-distance moves are more expensive, with prices ranging from $2,700 to $10,000 or more.

Several key factors influence the final cost:

  • Distance and Home Size: The mileage of the move and the size of your home.

  • Number of Movers: Hourly rates can range from $25 to $50 for one or two movers, increasing to $100 to $200 for a team of four or more.

  • Services: Additional services like packing, unpacking, and storage will add to the cost.

  • Specialty Items: Moving large or delicate items such as pianos, vehicles, or large aquariums incurs extra charges.

  • Timing and Access: The time of year, your specific moving date, and the ease of access to your home can affect rates.

Don’t forget to account for other potential costs like moving supplies and tipping your movers.

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.

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.

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.
