"Roosevelt Moving did a fantastic job with my move. They arrived on time, handled my furniture and belongings carefully, and disassembled and reassembled my bed at my new apartment. They moved everything up three flights of stairs without any issues and were professional and efficient throughout the move. The total cost was $320, which was much more reasonable than the other companies that reached out to me. There were no surprise fees, just a straightforward hourly rate. I would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable movers."

"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"

"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."

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

If you need to move heavy furniture inside your house, like a grandfather clock, consider hiring professional movers for this service, too. Many moving companies advertise in-house moving services, including transporting heavy items to different rooms or floors of the house. It’s best to hire professional movers for this task to avoid damaging parts of your home, like narrow stairways or flooring, or the item during the process.

Yes, you can very carefully lay down a grandfather clock to move it, but it requires a bit of prep work. Remember, all of your clock's components and mechanisms are delicate, and shifting them can cause serious damage. Before laying it down, you will need to remove these pieces, plus the weights and the pendulum.

Before hiring a moving company to help you with your move, there are a few things you will want to ask, including: 

  • Is there anything your company won’t move? 

  • Does workers’ compensation cover the crew?

  • Will you disassemble and reassemble the furniture? 

  • Are there packing restrictions?

  • Can you guarantee my delivery date?

  • Can you provide references? 

  • What do you charge extra for?

  • What is your cancellation policy?

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.

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.
