"Sam has been serving all of our piano needs for the past 3 years. When we first started piano lessons with our son, we were not sure if we could swing the cost of purchasing a piano. Our piano teacher referred us to Sam at Washington Pianos. Sam helped us pick out a quality used piano for a price we could afford. He delivered the piano to our house with great care and saw that it was tuned. Sam has since been providing regular piano tunings for our family. Sam is always quick to respond, professional, reliable, and takes great care in his work. We have been very happy with his services. I would like to add that Sam has made repairs and regularly tunes my mother's piano. She has been very pleased with his services. She does not use a computer, so I wanted to share her experience as well. Thank you Sam!!"

"It was great. They guys were professional, polite and took great care with my furniture. Did even scrape any walls and I had a tight turn at the bottom of the stairs where they moved the massage chair."

"I hired Anthony's the Wright Move (from Seattle) to move my household from Orange County California to Seattle Washington. I had several quotes from big moving companies. The big moving companies were very expensive! I also learned that the big companies just hire folks off the street to load and unload trucks. Also, in their paperwork is tricky wording regarding liability for damages to your stuff and they are real loose on exact delivery times. After alot of research I decided that the most economical way to move was to rent trucks myself....hire a moving company to pack and then hire my own drivers. "The Wright Move" was recommended to me by the storage unit manager in Washington. Anthony "The Wright Move" flew down from Seattle to my home in Orange County to give me an estimate and discuss details regarding packing my stuff and driving to Seattle...and then unpacking. So that is what I did. Penski trucks was best price and most reasonable and allowed me to add extra drivers. I bought 4 airline tickets for Anthony's workers and one night (2 rooms) at a local hotel. I also paid for 2 day rental car for them to get from airport to me to hotel etc. All of these costs were still much lower than the big companies. I rented two 26 ft trucks, handcart, blankets and the workers met me at Penski and added their 2 drivers names to the rental list. I took all the insurance offered so everything was completely covered. The workers arrived on time came to my house and we packed for 2 days. then they took the trucks and drove from California to Seattle Washington. I bought Visa gift cards for the drivers to use for gas and food on the drive. The guys were all very nice and I had their phone numbers so I could talk to them during the trip. They were very polite and followed my instructions well. In the meantime I flew up to Washington to wait. They drove straight thru stopping to rest as needed and arrived as planned about 4 days after they left. I met them at the storage unit and they unpacked everything in the pouring rain in one day. As a side note Anthony also pick up several shipments at SeaTac airport that I shipped and took the boxes to my storage unit and loaded them in for me. I felt safe and confident with Anthony and all his workers. He answered every communication immediately and I thought they did an excellent job. I am getting ready to use them again to move me from the storage units into my new home in Seattle. I give "The Wright Move" my highest recommendation!!!"

Piano Moving FAQs, answered by experts

While it's not expected, tipping junk haulers is a kind gesture when the team goes above and beyond for piano disposal. Lugging and breaking down a piano requires specialized equipment, maneuvering, and a lot of strength. When your junk haulers take particularly good care of your home during the process, consider tipping between 10% and 20% of the total bill to split among the team or $10 to $20 per hauler.

The best ways to prepare for movers include decluttering and properly labeling boxes. Decluttering lessens the workload and ensures you are not bringing unwanted items into your new home. Labeling boxes lets movers know which rooms they belong in, reducing confusion when it's time to unpack.

Hiring professional movers is usually worth the investment. These moving pros have the expertise and experience to get the job done quickly and safely, saving you time and potentially avoiding damage to your belongings. Professionals are especially a good idea if you’re moving long distances or large, bulky items, like furniture, pianos, or vehicles. Pros will also know when you need moving permits based on where you live and whether or not the moving truck will block traffic. 

Traveling with your automobile over short distances when moving is typically less expensive than shipping it with a transport company. However, consumers start to break even at around 500 miles. It's typically less costly and worth shipping your car with a professional transport company if the distance you're going exceeds 500 miles.

The average cost to hire professional movers is approximately $1,700, but the total price can range from as low as $920 to over $12,000 depending on the move's complexity. For local moves, typically under 100 miles, costs generally fall between $920 and $2,530. Long-distance moves are more expensive, with prices ranging from $2,700 to $10,000 or more.

Several key factors influence the final cost:

  • Distance and Home Size: The mileage of the move and the size of your home.

  • Number of Movers: Hourly rates can range from $25 to $50 for one or two movers, increasing to $100 to $200 for a team of four or more.

  • Services: Additional services like packing, unpacking, and storage will add to the cost.

  • Specialty Items: Moving large or delicate items such as pianos, vehicles, or large aquariums incurs extra charges.

  • Timing and Access: The time of year, your specific moving date, and the ease of access to your home can affect rates.

Don’t forget to account for other potential costs like moving supplies and tipping your movers.
