Fantastic experience from start to finish. Louis was very responsive, calling within hours of my submission of a quote request through Angie's List. He was able to schedule the move within days of our first conversation. He communicated well by phone and text and called to confirm the delivery address right before the move. He and his co-worker were efficient and professional, and Louis taught me to use a humidity control system on the piano that the previous owner had installed. He was also very reasonably priced. I hope to use his services for piano tuning and maintenance in the future.

Louis was very quick to answer the phone. I got an appointment very quickly and he helpfully rescheduled when I had an unexpected conflict with our original appointment. He finished the job quickly and happily accepted the coupon from Angie’s List. I highly recommend his services!

Very well. It was a big job but it took him less than 3 hours. He was upfront when we met about the work that needed to be done, gave me an estimate and we scheduled a time for him to come back.
Description of Work: I have a 1909 Upright and Louis did all of the following: fixed 2 pedals that had broken off varnished the piano and fixed some dents and scuff marks. Also removed a water stain replaced all broken ivory keys, sanded and cleaned all. tuned the piano

Description of Work: Mr. Gentile came to tune our ancient piano - he was very honest (piano in great condition in spite of its age - did not try to convince us of anything being worse than it was!) and did an excellent job bringing this instrument back into full working order. It's a pleasure to hear our kids practicing on it now, and we're very appreciative of the professionalism and skill Mr. Gentile brought to his work.

I would most certainly use Louis Gentile Piano Services again. The appointment was easy to schedule. I had to reschedule my original appointment, and it was easy to do. The ultimate appointment went off right on time, and I was happy with the quality of the job. After the tuning, Louis walked through what he did, how he found the condition of the piano, and suggested a time frame for the next tunning. I thought that the quality of the work solid and the price very fair.

Louis and I communicated at first via Angie's list and then via phone. He was extremely responsive and I was ableto set up an appointment very easily. He arrived at the specified time and did a great job. I will definitely call him when I need my piano tuned again or when I wish to upgrade my piano.

I found Louis through Angie's List. I sent him an email which he responded to the following morning by calling. He was very accommodating in setting up an appointment that was convenient to me. He arrived on time and went to work immediately. He was genuinely friendly and personable and described the work he was doing. He had to tune the piano twice to get it to concert pitch. He provided some advice on repositioning the piano to protect it from the effect of the heating system. He was extremely professional and answered all of my questions. I was very pleased with his work and highly recommend him. And I will be using his services again this year to tune the piano.

The movers who came were punctual, courteous, friendly, & very knowledgeable about pianos; how best to transport, bring in to the house, & set our new piano in the right spot. If we ever move with a piano again, I would definitely use them! Can't compare cost as the move was included in the purchase.
Description of Work: They brought our new piano up from the South Shore to the North Shore.

Very professional and prompt. Not the cheapest I found but he sounded very professional on the phone and got back to me in a timely fashion, I could tell on the phone that he knew what he was doing and was very experienced with pianos. Came on time, kept me updated as to when he would arrive ( from another job). Did an excellent job, friendly and competent. Set up piano on other end. The piano was being moved approximately 50 miles away. Small upright piano.

He arrived on time and did not leave until the piano sounded perfect. We have used him several times since 2004 but I don't have the exact dates. I will definitely hire him again when our piano needs to be tuned!

When we purchased our home it came with a baby grand player piano from the 1920s. Louis fixed a few problems with the player and created a cover to go over the bottom to keep kids from losing a finger on the mechanism that turns the reels. He arrived on time and also tuned this and another piano that we own. He is coming back next week to tune again. Highly recommend his services for tuning and any piano repairs you may need.
Description of Work: Louis came to my home and tuned 2 pianos. He also fixed a player piano for us and made a cover to snap over the bottom of the piano to protect the mechanisms of the player piano. I think the tuning was around $100 for each piano and it was $300 to get the player in working order. He also replaced the surfaces of several broken keys on the piano with parts from old pianos.
