"We hired Efficient Moving to help us with a 4 stop move to locations both locally and out of state. We can not complement Troy and his team for the service we received enough! It was outstanding in all regards. Troy was such a great help and the staff was very professional and easy to have around. They went above and beyond what we expected from a moving company and even accommodated our move when we needed to change moving dates at the last minute. Everything arrived on time and safely. 5 stars!!!!!"

"The service was really bad. On the move in day., they left our piano under the sun for hours when the temperature was 85 degrees because they didn't assign enough movers to the job. They broke a heirloom desk lamp and damaged 10 plus other stuffs during the move. I paid extra $500 for extra coverage insurance and submitted claim on time. They never replied to me in written. A staff called me a couple of times saying i would receive something via email, guess what, I never did. Today is the settlement deadline, they still didn't reply. Do NOT use this company! Updated 1/05/2020 Resolution agreement was settled."

"I needed someone to move us and I was impressed with Justin just from talkin to him on the phone. He and his team had a great deal of experience and they were all respectful and nice. They asked questions if they had them and made sure they did exactly what I wanted. They worked hard and impressed me with how much they knew about so many things -- like the danger of moving our washer without the proper bolts. They worked hard and even finished early. They offered to help me with anything else I needed before they left. I really believe they did an excellent job in each and every way."

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.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
Moving long-distance means choosing what to bring and what to part with. Learn all the pros, cons, and costs of shipping versus buying new furniture when you move.
