"A++. 
Why we selected Sterling:
I received quotes from 10 different highly rated moving companies. Stefan from Sterling visited the apartment and provided a very competitive estimate. He was courteous, friendly and professional.  He quoted us a fixed, flat fee to pack and move our apartment.
Sterling seemed to have the best combination of professionalism and affordability.  And I liked the concept of a flat fee, as move day is less stressful when you're not hyper-focused on watching the clock.
Move day:
We have a young child, and thus needed a full service move as we did not have time to pack.  We literally didn't move a finger.  Sterling sent a 4 man crew that arrived at 9:30am.  They meticulously packed up all of our possessions, taking care with delicate items to ensure that everything would be well wrapped.  All of our items were successfully loaded out of our Manhattan elevator building and into their truck.  Upon arrival in Brooklyn, the team did the heavy lifting, carrying everything up 2 flights of stairs into our new 3rd floor brownstone apartment.
The 4 man crew was awesome.  Hard-working, professional and good natured.  All 4 were respectful of neighbors and friendly around my wife and young child.  In under 9 hours, they completed our full service move flawlessly.  I would highly recommend Sterling to anyone looking for a high quality moving experience.

"I was very pleased with the services we received from Moving Ahead, Garden City Park. My son was moving his things from our garage/basement to his apartment in Ridgewood. We called on a Wednesday and were able to book 2 men to help us on Saturday morning. The price quote we got was fair and Danny helped us out with our needs. They called to confirm the appointment and on the day of the move they called to confirm that they were on their way. They were very professional and helpful even if we had more boxes than I originally thought. They were very efficient got everything loaded in the truck in an hour. The movers were also helpful when we asked if they could also help us pick up a couch that my son was buying a few blocks from their new apartment. We could not have moved in such a timely and efficient fashion without their help. Will definitely hire them again."

"Great team of folks. I had a last minute move that was rescheduled multiple times because I didn't get a clear to close. The day I got the clear to close, I had to vacate my apartment the same day. Dan was able to save the day by getting a truck to me in an hour. His team worked to get my apartment moved out of and into my home all in the SAME DAY!. All of my items were packed, moved and unpacked without damage and none of the items were missing. The moving team was super professional, nice and understanding to the rushed nature of the move. This is the 3rd time I've moved White Glove moving and I highly recommend them."

"There are not enough great things I can say about this moving company!! From their punctuality to their professionalism & patience, they did an all around wonderful job. Don (moving specialist) came to our home to walk around, take a look at what we had, in order to give us the best estimate he could. Each time we spoke, he asked me how "I" was doing as anyone who has moved understands what an exhausting process it could be. There was a minor change of plans last minute & they handled it well without any fuss. You can't go wrong with using this company - worth it as they made it as stress free as possible :)"

"They were okay. They quoted us over the phone. They didn't come to the house for the quote. It was a 2 bedroom house and we were moving to a 3 story Tudor. We kind of explained the number of boxes and he gave me a number. It ended up being a lot more than he had originally quoted. They also broke one of our tables and they took it back to one of their warehouses to repair it but then we were unable to get in touch with to get the table back. I kept calling and calling and eventually they brought it back."

"BQ Transport moved us from CA to NY. From start to finish; the movers were professional and friendly. They were particularly helpful because our move was at short notice, but they managed to fit us in. On moving day, the team turned up on time, worked hard, and were very polite, considerate, and friendly. Everything was moved with care and positioned where we wanted. I would highly recommend."

Piano Moving FAQs, answered by experts

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 cost to ship furniture can range from $300 to $4,500 per piece, depending on the size and weight of the item and where it’s being shipped to. For a cross-country move, which companies consider any distance over 400 miles, it will cost $300 to $800 per piece to ship furniture. For an international move, shipping will cost around $1,000 to $4,500 per piece.

The best ways to prepare for movers include decluttering and properly labeling boxes. Decluttering lessens the workload and ensures you are not bringing unwanted items into your new home. Labeling boxes lets movers know which rooms they belong in, reducing confusion when it's time to unpack.

Yes, in almost all cases, it is worth the investment to hire professional piano movers. Pianos are not only heavy and bulky but are also often expensive and delicate instruments. Attempting to move one yourself poses a significant risk of damage to the piano, your home, and can lead to serious personal injury, especially when navigating stairs. The average cost of hiring professional movers (around $400) is typically much less than the potential cost of repairs, replacement, or medical bills that could result from an unsuccessful DIY move.

Choosing a reliable moving company is critical because you’re entrusting all of your belongings to the professional movers, so you’ll want to make sure you consider the following:

  • The experience of the movers and the number of years in the industry

  • The add-on services provided, like packing and storage

  • The warranty or insurance coverage to protect your belongings 

We also recommend confirming that the movers are properly licensed using Angi’s state licensing tool. You can check for certification from organizations like the American Moving and Storage Association.
