To start, one of the owners of the company came to the house to assess what needed moving and to provide an actual quote, not an estimate. When I balked at the price a bit, he explained that with the number of items and two delivery locations in Houston (apartment and storage unit), the job couldn't be done in a single day. They were able to perform the work the very days I needed it done. On the morning of packing, five guys arrived pretty much on time. The leader of the pack assessed the situation rather quickly and divvied up responsibilities. Two guys wrapped and packed the kitchen and fragile-ware. The others wrapped, covered, and taped *all* the furniture to be moved. I don't know if this is common practice now -- I haven't moved in 19 years -- but they took absolutely no chances with anything getting scuffed or torn. The wrapping paper for the paintings and other framed art was especially thick and protective. In the afternoon, the leader had me do a couple of walk-throughs of the house to verify everything that was going to Houston had been packed. Despite that, I failed to see two wall hangings in the office until after they had finished and left. The leader had left me his cell phone number, so I called and asked if they could somehow come back in the morning to take them because they were too big to fit in my car. He did agree to make the extra trip to the house. The next day, the truck and three main movers arrived around noon in Houston. My apartment complex has a loading dock but the truck they used was just inches too tall for it. So unfortunately they ended up having to unload items from the truck and stage them in the loading dock area, then change their ramp to move everything up to ground level, essentially unloading everything twice. The loading elevator was just large enough for my giant couch so at least they didn't have to move anything up three stories in a stairwell. They delivered the items to my third floor apartment, unwrapped, and placed them where I specified. Since everything had been wrapped, nothing was damaged. Then the second stage of delivering was driving to the nearby storage company and unloading the rest of the items. The unit ended up being on the fourth floor, so yet another elevator. They packed the unit well with the piano and all that remained. Throughout the moving experience, the movers displayed an extremely cooperative attitude and were very pleasant to deal with. Even when faced with a setback like a semi-usable loading dock, they managed through with a positive, can-do attitude. Because of this and making an extra trip to the house that morning, I gave each of them what I hope was a good tip. The two days of moving were very stressful and hectic. But I don't even want to imagine what it would have been like with mediocre movers with bad attitudes. I appreciate the work done by Square Cow Moovers and will recommend them highly to others.

From beginning to end, this was a class act. Moving is a very hectic and stressful time, and no one wants to spend more money than s/he has to. That said, I believe paying a bit more money to good people to plan and execute a project like a move is well worth it. This experience confirmed...

Kaye was extremely professional and friendly. She spent almost 3 hours tuning and repairing my Fisher that hadn't been tuned in over 30 years. I learned a lot about pianos in general, and mine specifically. I will definitely use Kaye again and highly recommend her.

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. They attempted to overcharge me the original quote. Long story short, Tower contracted a local company and did a poor job of handing over the job."

FAQs for professional moving service piano projects in Galveston, 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.
