Services


As the saying goes, no job is too big or too small. From a small Spinet to a 9'1" Concert Grand, one-story to multi-story locations, we've handled some of the most challenging piano moves you can imagine. Local or Long Distance, small or large, we do it all. We'll even store your piano or remove old pianos.

Estimates


We're always happy to discuss your specific needs and provide a quote. In some cases, a site visit is essential. Pricing is primarily dependent on the size of your piano, but the distance traveled, stairs, multi-story buildings, and difficult maneuvers such as tight corners also affect the cost to move your piano.
