"He came immediately to do the work. He cleaned the entire piano and tuned it. He made a recommendation for a dehumidifer within the piano which we did. The suggestion has worked out great."

"This is by far the BEST moving experience I have ever had! From getting a quote, to setting up a day and time, to identifying what I wanted moved, to experiencing moving day – everything was easier than I expected. Chris Curry and his team arrived on time and ready to go! They didn’t need to be told twice what to do and because of that I got work done too! They were respectful of my belongings and, get this, NOTHING WAS DAMAGED. And they were funny and friendly and fast!"

"I called Justin Jones on a Thursday and asked him if he could move me on that coming Sunday or Monday. He said he would be available to move me on either day. I chose Sunday. He and his crew showed up promptly at 9 am. We had probably the normal amount of furniture, but we did have some expensive and quite large televisions and were concerned about the moving process. Justin and his crew did a fantastic job. He brought a crew of four, they were friendly and courteous. They ended up having to make two trips, but we worked out the difference in price (the final price is included above). He had actually quoted me the original price over the phone and I think I might have left some items out. At any rate, their price was over $300 lower than the closest competitors price. I would use them again and recommend them to anyone."

"We had to move our mother to long term care on very short notice. I called Moving Ahead Services on Tuesday and they had us moved on Wednesday. Granted it was a very small move but they were a Godsend. Thomas and Carlos were polite and respectful and a real pleasure to be around. All around a wonderful experience."

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.
