"Red Carpet Moving did an amazing job moving a baby grand piano for me. I bought a piano and needed to move it on very short notice. Milos worked hard to accommodate my schedule, discussed backup plans if the weather was bad on the day of the move, and was very communicative and kind. He and his team were very professional and got my piano to me without a scratch. They even got it all the way up a flight of 18 stairs! 5 stars for these guys, they were great."

"Everything went as planned. They showed up early on the planned day. The workers were efficient, friendly and went beyond what I expected. The owner checked on the progress throughout the move. I would definitely use this company again!"

"Following the death of my father, I contacted Metropolitan Moving and Storage to move my mother from Silver Spring, MD to Charlotte, NC and make a stop to drop some furniture off in Mount Jackson, VA. Everyone with whom we spoke and worked were absolutely wonderful! We scheduled an estimator and a few days later Edward came to the house. In less than an hour he provided an estimate and scheduled her move. Not only was he extremely polite and compassionate, he was spot on with the estimate. My parents and I have moved with the government several times in the past. This move was markedly different. The movers who packed and loaded the trucks stayed with the household goods and unpacked them upon arriving at their destination. The office called to confirm the delivery of boxes and the move dates. On the packing and moving days, Luis and his crew arrived a few minutes early so they would be punctual. We were surprised by such wonderful service. They had our three-bedroom house loaded in two trucks in less than four hours, including moving a Steinway Grand Piano! Luis and his crew were unbelievably disciplined and efficient. Once completed I spoke with Justin to follow-up on our wonderful experience. He and Lena continued to provide unmatched customer service to this day. I highly recommend this team and will definitely use them when I move from Virginia."

"Capital City Movers did an excellent job moving my furniture to a new apartment. Brandon, the relocation consultant, was very courteous and gave me the best price of all the movers I met with. On the day of the move, the team was punctual. They packed all my items carefully and then set the new apartment up perfectly. I plan to use them again for future moves."

Piano Moving FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, moving a piano often causes it to become out of tune, even if you're not moving the piano very far. One reason is that any temperature and humidity changes can affect a piano's tuning. Additionally, the bumps and jolts from a moving truck usually push a piano out of tune. 

However, don't jump right to tuning it once the piano gets to your new home. Instead, it's best to wait at least two weeks for the instrument to acclimate to its new environment. After a couple weeks, you'll get an idea of what the piano will really sound like in its new home, at which point you can call a piano technician to get it properly tuned.

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.

The best way to find a reliable piano mover is to get a recommendation from a family member or friend. If that’s not possible, you can contact local piano movers and ask the following questions to find a reputable company:

  • How will you pack and prepare my piano for the move?

  • Do you offer a guarantee or moving insurance?

  • How many years of experience do you have?

  • Do I need to do any prep work before you arrive?

  • Are you licensed and insured?

Services typically take 1-2 hours, depending on the unit and complexity of the relocation.

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.
