"We have moved a lot (local and long-distance) in the past 15 years, and the crew--Lee (driver), Danis, and George--from Nova Express Movers was among the very best: extremely efficient, hard-working, prompt, courteous, and careful. From our first contact we were very pleased with the process of setting up the service, using the Angie's List coupon, and making the appointment (scheduling around several very rainy days, among other things). The driver communicated his whereabouts and likely arrival time, and continued this level of communication with us throughout the process--briefly reviewing the items that were to be transported, any special requirements and requests, and the details of our destination. The truck was exactly the right size for our stuff, and very clean. We were pleased that, after introductions, everyone got right to work loading the truck (and they worked as a cohesive team throughout). Our items did not require special care (no furniture or appliances), but we were confident that everything was carefully handled nonetheless. We requested special assistance unboxing our newly purchased adjustable bedframe and mattress in the space vacated by all of the items that were moved out, and they did so with great speed and efficiency--but still managed to unload everything with equal care, paying attention to how we wanted things organized in storage. Even better, not only did they adhere to the timeframe allocated in the Angie's List coupon, they finished a bit early! With all that, there were no extra charges, so the price was far lower than ANY of the other service providers from whom estimates were received. If (most likely--when) we move again, we're calling them for sure!"

"Fantastic. This was a hard job with difficult driveway to moving a piano up a steep flight of stairs. Greg the owner and his crew did an amazing job and were more then accommodating and positive."

"Movers were fast and professional. They knew how to setup the piano and even pointed out several things to us. They provided pre-move damage pictures as well. They worked within a very tight time frame and on short notice. Would highly recommend them to anyone needing a piano moved."

"Our move happened this morning, and I had to write a review while our impressions were still fresh! This is the best moving company out there! We moved to Charlotte, North Carolina and couldn't be happier! Many times when people are moving they don't know where to start or what to do. From experience I am telling you, hire professional movers, ideally Zip Moving and Storage because you want your belongings to be packed the right way and transported without damage, and it actually costs less when doing it yourself! It was just an amazing experience for us, especially when true professionals and genuine human beings were apart of making it happen. We also hired them to do all of our packing, because we own a lot of fragile items that are a part of our family heirloom I would never forgive myself if we had something broken trying to do it ourselves. The entire move went smoothly, and we wanted to leave a review because the whole team deserved it!"

"

The team arrived early for our 1500 hrs appointment. They consulted with the person selling the piano to us to optimize the process to exit of the piano from the back of the house to the truck. My family and I arrived shortly after that and signed the final paperwork.

The team got to work and had the piano out of the house and in the truck within 10 minutes. It was moved to our house. Unpacking and moving it into our house and to our front room probably took 5 minutes. The speed and efficiency were amazing. We watched them and the care they took to ensure the safety of the piano was comforting to us. Good job, team!

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

Most moving companies don’t charge by weight or volume unless you’re freight shipping items. The cost of hiring movers typically depends on the number of movers and time spent on the task.

Professional movers use dedicated packing materials like specialty boxes for artwork, TVs, clothes and other things that need to be moved with care. If professional movers are packing for you, they use foam, bubble wrap, and other cushioning for the journey. You can ask questions about how movers will handle specific items when you are getting a price estimate.

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.

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.

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.
