"I wanted to move my piano into climate-controlled storage while I was having new flooring installed in my home, so I found Johnson’s Piano Moving based on their excellent online reviews. Ted from Johnson’s worked with me to have my piano moved into their climate-controlled storage for a week during the installation. My house has a side entrance which made the move pretty challenging, but the excellent crews who moved the piano out and back in were very creative in accommodating the challenge with the front door and they took great care not to damage my railings on the stoop. I highly recommend Johnson’s Piano Moving!"

"They arrived on time. They were courteous and respectful with my furniture. They moved a very heavy piano downstairs for me. They didn't fool around. Got my things moved in 3 hours. The price was very reasonable. They worked hard and I gave them each a good tip!"

"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."

"Review VKH Movers 5/1/2020 We very much appreciate Vlad and our moving crew from VKH. Vlad was the most prompt and professional of all the moving companies I contacted (about 6 different companies). He was very easy to talk with as we worked through the entire quote process. Our crew was professional and careful and communicated well throughout. They arrived on time and worked very hard the entire time. We own a studio piano that we’ve had for about 30 years but still looks new. We’ve had it moved several times over the years, but no company was as careful as VKH. They wrapped it carefully with blankets, shrink-wrapped it, and then tethered the dolly strap securely. Because of our closing date, our things needed to be stored over a 4-day period at their warehouse before they could be received at our new home. It was a bit of an intricate move, but they handled it very well. We very much appreciate Vlad, VKH, and our 3-man moving crew. Thanks Vlad! Mark and Debbie"

"The two movers, Shaw and Devon, were fast, efficient, careful, and thoroughly professional.  The move took a little more than the three hours I initially contracted for, but not because they were slow.  They worked hard and delivered my items in good condition.  If all of their movers are this good, this is a great company to hire for your move.

"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."

"Divine is an understatement. We've moved a dozen times and this move was by far the least stressful. First, the process was extremely organized to make the move more efficient and reduce the frantic need to be with each mover for furniture/box placement. Second, the team was courteous and hardworking. The manners of each team member was exemplary. Third, the no touch unpacking service was above and beyond what any moving company offers. The entire house was organized and boxes were gone in a day and a half. To top it off, Chris was enthusiastic, friendly and most pleasant. (And he treats his employees with kindness and fair working policies so they don't get jaded or burnt out)."

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

It's typically best to hire movers who specialize in moving pianos because moving them often requires specific equipment and finesse, especially when it comes to grand pianos. However, some standard moving companies have experienced piano movers on their team, so it never hurts to call a company and ask about their piano moving expertise.

When loading a moving truck, the general rule is to load the heaviest and largest items first to create a stable base at the front of the truck, which helps balance the weight. You can start with large furniture like sofas, beds, mattresses, and tables to form a solid foundation, or begin by placing your heaviest boxes against the truck's walls to create a base layer. After the base is set, continue loading other large items like appliances and square furniture. Lighter and smaller objects, including most of your boxes, should be loaded last. They can be packed into gaps, around, and on top of the heavier items to maximize space. Following this order makes unloading easier and helps prevent damage to your belongings.

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.

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.

Movers calculate a moving estimate through various methods, including flat fees, estimated weight, amount of space taken up in the moving truck, or a combination. Read the estimate carefully, including parts of the contract that cover mover liability, how and when movers arrive, and other information. The best estimates include an itemized list with fees for fuel, especially large items, packing and unpacking, storage services, and more.
