"My move went better than ever. I hired Here & There Moving at the last minute after another moving company changed dates on me. In a time crunch I had nobody to meet Here & There Moving, they worked it out with me to hide a key for them to start the move and from there on it went perfectly. Here & There took the time to make sure nothing was damaged or left behind. I would 100% use them from now on for any moving needs."

"Let me start by saying that this is the 2nd time this year that I have hired Al's Moving and Labor so although I am NOT a fan of moving in general and what that takes on, I am a fan of Al's Moving and Labor.  Al may not tell you he worked for many, many years for a national moving company and he may not tell you that he is formerly military, but he and his crew are well trained and know what they are doing and are really precise with the detail you need on your moving day.  I am a meeting planner, and it's all in the details and the level of service.  Have you ever had your items shrink-wrapped or paper-wrapped?  Amazing amount of care in their work.
The morning of my move, I got another confirmation call from Al.  When crew arrived, I knew one of them from my move six months ago.  The truck was loaded in 40 minutes and when we arrived at my new location, the  and crew unloaded into a storage unit on site and into my new apartment.  If I changed my mind on where I wanted the furniture placed, they were only professional, patient and kind.
If you are a single middle aged person like me whose friends all are over 50 and have bad backs, do call Al's Moving and Labor for great service and a job very well done.  Buy local.  Call Al.

"My experience with Quaernas Moving was great! I had hired another group to do my move & it was not going as expected I called in Quaernas late in afternoon to assist. They thankfully came & helped me finish the move. They went above & beyond to help me out. In fact They are coming back to help me out with problems caused by the first group.They are very professional & hard working! I highly recommend Quaernas Moving!"

Piano Moving FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, in almost all cases, it is worth the investment to hire professional piano movers. Pianos are not only heavy and bulky but are also often expensive and delicate instruments. Attempting to move one yourself poses a significant risk of damage to the piano, your home, and can lead to serious personal injury, especially when navigating stairs. The average cost of hiring professional movers (around $400) is typically much less than the potential cost of repairs, replacement, or medical bills that could result from an unsuccessful DIY move.

No, homeowners insurance does not typically cover moving expenses. Homeowners insurance provides coverage and pay-outs if you experience damage to the home you currently live in. You’ll need to save separately for moving expenses like hiring movers, renting a tow truck, or shipping your belongings.

Tipping movers is not mandatory, and most professional companies do not expect it. However, it is a common way to show appreciation for their hard work and the care they take with your belongings and home. A standard tip is between 10% and 20% of your total bill, split among the crew, or about $10 per mover per hour, tipped individually. It's an especially good idea to tip if the movers work in difficult weather, handle specialty items like pianos or pool tables, provide extra packing services, or go above and beyond your expectations.

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.

Yes, moving a piano often causes it to become out of tune, even if you're not moving the piano very far. One reason is that any temperature and humidity changes can affect a piano's tuning. Additionally, the bumps and jolts from a moving truck usually push a piano out of tune. 

However, don't jump right to tuning it once the piano gets to your new home. Instead, it's best to wait at least two weeks for the instrument to acclimate to its new environment. After a couple weeks, you'll get an idea of what the piano will really sound like in its new home, at which point you can call a piano technician to get it properly tuned.
