"The Action Piano team was responsive immediately after I contacted them. They worked with me to set up times that would work and picked up and delivered within their stated windows. On top of that, these guys did an excellent job moving my fragile and not in the best shape baby grand piano. They even did some additional repair and set up work upon delivery. In some ways, despite the move, the piano was delivered in better condition than it started in. Excellent quality and a reasonable price. I will definitely look to hire them again."

"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.

"Capital City Movers NYC are exceptional movers! Previously I had never found a moving company that I was overly satisfied with. I had posted in a facebook group and someone recommended them. I was hesitant at first but after speaking with the company I felt much more comfortable using them. They are pleasant to speak with and were very thorough when listing out the item move list. Their prices are also very reasonable. I was then able to modify the list as the move got closer and I had a better idea of what my list was. The day of the move the three movers arrived on time and were very efficient. They were careful with all my items and followed instructions thoroughly. I also thought they had great personalities. The three guys were very tall and very strong. I used foreman Peter and two other guys. I find a lot of moving company movers are miserable. During and after the move the company followed up to make sure the move went well. I would definitely use Capital City Movers NYC again. Thank you guys for everything!"

"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."

"It went absolutely perfect They packed all my belongings for me and loaded truck in same day... 3 men...approx 5 hrs to do all this work My things were delivered to my new home on day and time promised Driver even called me evening before to re-confirm the agreed upon time and when they arrived they unloaded everything and placed my furniture where I asked them to All was packed so well that when I unpacked the many boxes, I found so much paper wrap that it was "hard" to find the item...LOL! But this is what kept all my things in great condition; plus, my furniture (each piece) was wrapped with quilts and plastic Everything was in great condition; no damages, no breakages! Would recommend them for short or long distance moves As a matter of fact this is the 2nd time I used McAvery Movers b/c the 1st time was a short distance move approx 6 1/2 yrs ago and everything went so very very well that I didn't hesitate to use them again The men who work for McAvey are professional, friendly and extremely trustworthy Kudos to them!"

"Moishes moving was excellent from start to finish. The crew came in on time and were professional and careful with all furniture and fragile items. They were very quick and helped pack up some of the remaining items even though we did not include packing as part of the service. It was snowing that day and they still were able to finish the move on time and placed furniture in appropriate spots in the house.

"When I first called him he gave me a quote over the phone (not written) and I thought that the quote was about $3300 but later he said it was more like $3700. He was nice enough to hold everything for me for a day though and he was very patient with my date changes. They did a good job with the move too. We even bought the guys lunch and tipped them because they worked very hard and we were happy with the work."

Piano Moving questions, answered by experts

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.

To treat office moving costs as capital expenses, which means recording them as assets, they must meet certain rules: they need to be essential for the business to keep running, directly related to the move, reasonable, and documented properly with invoices and contracts. These costs can include packing, transportation, and setting up the new office. Once these expenses are capitalized, they're treated like assets on the books and gradually accounted for over time through depreciation or amortization.

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.

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.

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?
