Finally, moving day! We asked Ruth Movers to load up our belongings from our old house and unload at our new house. The move was made so much easier by Ruth Movers' careful, thoughtful, and professional service. We had some last-minute stress from the closings, and Ruth Movers were communicative and helpful through the whole process. Again, we were impressed with the care that they took with our belongings, and with the friendliness and supportiveness of their staff. We have a family of four, and we have a lot of heavy furniture and some antiques, so we appreciated the care they took with all of our belongings. I would highly recommend Ruth Movers to anyone considering a local move - they have branched out from piano moving, and they have proven themselves to be up to the task of larger-scale moves.

When I saw that she was out there I waved her in and she was apologetic for arriving so early. Ms Grimley was very personable and approachable. She began working on my piano and finished in approximately 2 hours. She explained to me the methodology she follows to tune a piano. I found her to be quite knowledgeable and she was very patient in answering all my questions. I felt comfortable having Ms Grimley in my home. Her rates are competitive and she probably does not charge as much as she should considering the gas she burns driving all over town. I will not hesitate to call Ms Grimley again for my next piano tuning.

I contacted Mr. Zhou who responded immediately. He came in promptly and by the time he left, the piano was sounding beautiful again. I've had many other tuners in the past. The sound was great at first but unfortunately their tuning almost always required frequent re-tunings, often just one...

Long Distance Moving & Storage. Household, Commercial, International, Corporate services available. Our Mission is To exceed expectations on every move. We live this day in and day out. Our service is top notch and fully efficient. Our trucks are perfectly equipped for moving with Pads, dollies, Plastic and much more. We provide Long Distance Moves across the entire country, directly from our West Coast HUBS located in AZ, CA, OR and WA. Or, we team with our partner companies to complete moves together. We are proud to provide a service that no other company offers; Dedicated Trucks. This means that your belongings are loaded on the truck and not combined with anyone else’s items (from/to west coast only). They are not transferred to other trucks or facilities in route which causes damage and loss of items (typical with van lines). We have a set loading day and unloading day. This is by far the safest way to ship. Our interstate rates are per 24ft moving van that holds up to 8,500lbs or 1400CuFt. Some customers require one truck and some require more. One truck holds the average 1800SqFt.
"I cannot say enough great things about All Service Moving—and ESPECIALLY Rico and Reyes, who were absolute lifesavers for my last-minute move. After another moving company bailed on me the day before my scheduled move, All Service swooped in and saved the day. Rico and Reyes showed up EARLY, upbeat, and ready to tackle the challenge—even with super heavy furniture that usually requires a 4-person crew. Somehow, the two of them handled everything like pros without a single scratch or ding—on the furniture or either home. What really stood out was how personable, kind, and thoughtful they were. They moved quickly and efficiently, knowing I was paying by the hour, but never once sacrificed care or quality. They were kind to my mom (who was helping me out), and so sweet to my two dogs too. If you’re planning a move, ask for Rico and Reyes by name. They went above and beyond, and I want their team to know what a fantastic job they did. They deserve every bit of recognition. 100% recommend."

"The 2 people who actually showed up were professional, although they arrived very late, which I attribute to three poor management. I was quoted 3 guys for 8 hours, and only 2 showed up.

"I requested 4 movers and 2 trucks, and was moving an hour away. I was given an estimate over the phone of 1500 to 2000. On moving day, I had my 4 workers show up within 5 minutes of when they quoted and they quickly assessed the situation and got to work within 10 minutes. These were incredibly hard working guys and took extra care during the move. They knew that my house would easily fill the two trucks, so they became tetris champions with stacking items. Around lunch time I bought them a couple large pizzas and never saw them take a break, but about 5 minutes later I saw some empty pizza boxes in my trash. I bought them a case of water when they arrived and a few large gatorades each. I felt I took care of them as best as I could, and they returned the favor by working exceptionally hard. When they pulled the last box off the truck the time stopped and they spent another hour or so afterwards cleaning up everything, unwrapping the furniture getting their wardrobe boxes etc."

FAQs for professional moving service piano projects in Barker, TX
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 $40per 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.
