"We have worked with over 30 moving companies here in Albuquerque and the surrounding areas. All claim to be the best and this and that...We call bs and never again will believe the hype. Even less when it comes from random so called moving companies or individuals off Craigslist. Fresh Start Moving Company is hands down, genetically superior to any we've ever dealt with. Although they come with a price point to match their unmatched overall quality and moving experience, they are worth every penny. Don't believe you get what you pay for and or prefer to go the cheap route? I wish you the best. You'll regret it...We've already learned better, the hard and expensive way. You always get what you pay for... Don't forget, we've already tried all the other moving companies... We normally pay $95 per hour for 2 gentle yet beast mode activated workers plus $48 trip fee for their lift equipped truck. Not the cheapest in town but these guys will earn every penny and actually save you money at the end of the day via not wrecking any of your belongings and not lagging or dragging out the job... Whether we have used their services for entire house moving, pianos, organs, pools tables, run of the mill furniture, high end mid century pieces and antiques, these guys lift like monsters yet are extremely diligent, delicate and protective when the need to be arises. Needless to say since being Fresh Start we have never and never again will call upon any other moving company other than Fresh Start for any and all of our moving needs. Hats off to : Big Eric aka "The Human Fork Lift" Julian, "The Furniture Teleporter" John, "The Man With The Plan" To confirm this review is 100% legit and not written by the company or friend of, feel free to give us a call at 505-710-1126 and we'll personally, as a Fresh Start Client for life be glad to talk to you about our past and on going experiences with FS. Ask for James. Cheers"

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

Professionals can provide comprehensive planning, logistical support, packing services, and clear communication to minimize moving stress. Their experience allows for efficient handling of belongings, ensuring a seamless and organized transition to a new location.

Qualified piano movers will take several steps to protect your piano from damage during the move. First, they'll wrap the piano to protect its finish. Ideally, they'll wrap the piano in a specialized blanket that features a soft, padded interior and a tougher exterior. 

After wrapping your piano, the movers will securely strap it to a dolly for safe transport to and from the moving truck. Once the piano is in the truck, movers might put the piano on a piece of plywood to help level it during the move, depending on the truck bed. They will then strap it in place so it doesn't shift around during the drive to your final destination.

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.

There are different types of moving companies, and you’ll want to look for one that has experience moving houses. Ask them how many houses they’ve moved, how long they’ve been in business, whether they coordinate all of the labor, permits, and subcontractors needed, and what their liability is for any damages incurred.

Moving straps like forearm or shoulder straps can usually support up to 800 pounds, sometimes more with specialized straps. However, that doesn’t mean that one person can always lift that much weight, just that the straps are rated for that amount. For example, some straps require two people working together to balance the weight of the heavy item.
