"Communication and service were outstanding. We contacted Tony on short notice and asked for an out of state move the week between Christmas and New Year's. Tony was able to move things around and accommodate our schedule. Very professional and safe move. When we arrived at our destination, bad weather was in the forecast, so Tony expedited the move in, working into the evening, to finish it before the snow arrived. All in all, a very positive experience, and would strongly recommend."

"Matt and his team knocked it out! Moved me from a 5BR house to a 5BR house in Kirkwood with NO damage. I’ve used other moving companies before, nobody moved as efficient and careful as First Place Moves did. I definitely recommend."

"They loaded all of my belongings for me, they got it done fast as well. They also unloaded at the new location, nothing was broken and they were very careful with all of my stuff. The team was very respectful as well. I will be hiring in the future if I ever need a move, and will be recommending to friends and family!"

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

The most expensive part of moving is hiring professional movers. However, hiring a pro is more efficient and less stressful, so many people find the cost worth it. You’ll also spend a lot of money on packing supplies, including boxes, tape, and bubble wrap, so ask around to see if any friends or family members have old supplies you can use for free.

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.

Most upright pianos weigh between 500 and 1000 pounds. Other vertical pianos, which are sometimes confused with upright pianos, may be between 200 and 500 pounds. Spinet pianos weigh between 200 and 400 pounds, console pianos are 350 to 450 pounds, and studio pianos are 400 to 500 pounds.

Tipping movers is not mandatory, and most professional companies do not expect it. However, it is a common way to show appreciation for their hard work and the care they take with your belongings and home. A standard tip is between 10% and 20% of your total bill, split among the crew, or about $10 per mover per hour, tipped individually. It's an especially good idea to tip if the movers work in difficult weather, handle specialty items like pianos or pool tables, provide extra packing services, or go above and beyond your expectations.

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.
