It has been said that the three most stressful things in life are dealing with a divorce, a death, or a move. We believe it is our job to take each customers situation and tailor our service based on what they need at that time. We have grown because of our willingness to please the customer is not limited to our office hours, or the amount of money the customer has to spend. It is not at all uncommon for us to hold a check for a customer, or start a move at a time that is convenient for the customer, but at a time that will have us working untill midnight; at no extra cost to the customer. Now that we have dozens of employees and do hundreds of moves a year, most of which are routine, it has become my job to handle the details that truly make us a service company. Additional address - 8455 Pendleton Pike, Indianapolis, IN, 46226. Additional phones - (317) 547-6683, (317) 201-8875, (317) 713-2994, (317) 514-2854 & (317) 890-0149. Additional DBAs - Here to There Moving and Storage, Here to There Inc. Additional contact name - Joshua Baxter. Additional Counties: Morgan & Shelby.
"At first i was greatly disappointed. Very unprofessional- bait and switch. Was quoted around 500-515 dollars by a lady in the corporate office so I went forward with them. Little did I know on the front end there was some hidden fees. They charge you 100 dollars extra for gas, even though our move was 5 minutes away...that's absurd. Also they charge you extra for furniture pads and saran wrap. But wait there is more! They broke our ping pong table and never filled out the paper work like they said they would! I had to contact them and the owner was unaware of the ping pong table being broken. They also never contacted me until 4 days later and quoted me 790 dollars, 270-290 dollars higher than I was quoted JR the Owner made it right and took off 50 dollars for gas and didn't charge us for the furniture pads and saran wrap as long as we didn't file a claim for the ping pong table. I added a star because JR is a reasonable man and owner but the way they do business is sub par. Also their movers are good people and they work hard but didn't tell their owner of the damaged item. Overall they have a few things to fix before I would call them again."

"Elam & Son's were actually recommended to me by another Piano Moving company in the Cincinnati area that came out to my home but were ultimately unable to help me! I needed help moving the a 500+lb Stairmaster machine up a flight of stairs into my second story condo. The machine was extremely bulky and awkwardly shaped, making it very difficult to move/lift even with tools (so much so that the first company I tried before E&S came and left!). But Elam & Son's were able to squeeze me in within a couple of days of my call, they were reasonably priced (I know because I got a couple other quotes from other piano/organ moving companies before my appointment and E&S's pricing was better), and they were able to get the machine where it needed to be in my home within an hour! I was nervous at first because only three men showed up with straps and some tools (same as the first company that came & left), so I didn't know if they'd be able to help me either. But these guys were SO great! They had to remove two of my doors and part of the Stairmaster machine itself to fit it in my guest room without any damage, but they put everything nicely back together and now I can use the machine in my home! Not sure if these guys are part hulk/superhero or something, but they're seriously impressive! Lol. Very grateful to them--highly recommend! :)"

"My daughter asked me to help her get estimates and set up getting a piano moved to her new house. Smooth Moves was, hands down, the best option of the 5 estimates I received. Their rates were reasonable. I had 1 online estimate for almost $500, and a verbal phone estimate for about $400. The owner was very professional and friendly. His experience was evident. The original owner of the piane reported to me that they were in/out of her condo in record time and raved about what a great job they did. On the way to deliver, they were running behind and kept in contact to let me know when they would be there. They were very timely! The entryway into my daughter's new home is very tight and awkward yet they were able to navigate it cleanly without any glitches. I highly recommend this company for ANY moving needs, not just pianos!"

FAQs for piano moving projects in Cincinnati, OH
Before your piano movers arrive, it’s a good idea to prep the piano for its journey to avoid damage, as well as clear a path to make the move as easy as possible. You can start by using bubble wrap and moving blankets to protect the keys, lids, and pedals. Drape moving blankets over the piano and secure them, if possible, to protect the surface from damage. Next, clear furniture and other obstructions out of the path from the piano to the door. It’s also wise to maintain a close spot for the moving truck to park out front.
Yes, it is absolutely worth it to hire piano movers. Pianos are heavy and bulky, which makes them very challenging to move safely and without causing damage to the piano and your home. Hiring piano movers is especially worthwhile if you need to move the instrument up or down staircases, as that can put you and your helpers at risk of serious injury. Overall, the price you’ll pay to hire a professional piano mover pales in comparison to the damage you could do to your piano or your home if you attempt the move yourself.
It is not necessary to tip piano movers, and workers from reputable companies generally won’t expect tips. However, if you’re pleased with the service and the movers are friendly and respectful, tipping can show your appreciation for how well the crew cared for what is likely a very expensive instrument. Tipping between $20 and $40 per mover is about average.
It is certainly possible to move a piano without hiring movers, but it’s not recommended. Not only will you need at least four people to lift and maneuver the piano, but getting it around tight corners and down flights of stairs might not be possible without the help of movers. Plus, pianos are exceptionally heavy and bulky, which means you and any helping hands are at risk of injury, as well as an increased risk of damaging your piano. Ultimately, it’s always worth it to call in a professional piano mover.
The average cost to move a piano is around $400, but your total will depend on the type of piano and your living situation—tight corners and flights of stairs will complicate the move. Moving an upright piano will be more affordable—around $250—and a full grand piano will cost closer to $550. Long-distance moves will bump all of these prices up and sometimes double them if the move is across state lines.
