Piano Movers

Piano Moving Built Around Care and Precision

A piano is heavy, awkward, and far more fragile than it looks. Our professional piano movers plan the route before lifting a single key. We measure doorways, map the clearest path, and protect floors and walls along the way. We treat every instrument like it cannot be replaced, because most of the time it cannot.

Weight is only half the job. Balance, padding, and the right equipment are what keep a piano safe on stairs and through tight turns. We use moving boards, straps, and proper technique so your piano stays level and protected from pickup to delivery.

Whether you are moving across town or just into another room, we handle the heavy lifting. Ask us how to prep your space before move day so our crew can get to work the moment we arrive.

Piano Moving Built Around Care and Precision

Moving Pianos Through Stairs, Doorways, and Tight Turns

Getting a piano down a flight of stairs or around a sharp corner takes more than muscle. It takes technique. Our crew is trained to carry heavy, awkward instruments through narrow stairwells and tight corridors without forcing them or risking damage. We know when to pivot, when to pad the walls, and when to take a piece apart instead of fighting the turn.

This is where experience pays off. Read our tips on moving a piano without damage so you know what to expect when an upright meets a tight landing.

Uprights, Grands, and Specialty Pianos

Every piano moves differently, so we match our approach to your instrument instead of forcing one method onto every job.

Grands and baby grands

We remove and pad the legs, lyre, and pedals, then wrap and board the body for a safe, level move.

Uprights and consoles

We strap, pad, and board the piano so it stays balanced through doorways and down stairs.

We also handle the paperwork buildings often ask for, like a certificate of insurance, so your property manager can sign off well before move day.

FAQs About Piano Movers

How much does it cost to move a piano in Lexington?

The price depends on the type and size of your piano, how many stairs or elevators are involved, the distance to your new place, and any special access. An upright usually costs less than a grand. We give you a clear estimate up front, so you know what to expect before move day.

Do you charge extra for stairs or tight spaces?

Stairs and tight turns take more time and care, so they can affect the final price. We factor this into your quote from the start instead of surprising you at the end. When you book, just let us know your floor and the layout so we can plan the right crew and equipment.

Do you tip piano movers?

Tipping is never required, but it is appreciated for a job done well, especially on a tough move with stairs or a heavy grand. Many customers tip around $20 to $40 per mover, or a bit more for a difficult job. If you would rather skip the tip, a kind review goes a long way too.

Can you move a grand or baby grand piano?

Yes. Grand and baby grand pianos usually need the legs, lyre, and pedals removed, then the body padded and secured on a board. Our crew is trained to disassemble, wrap, and reassemble these pianos so your instrument arrives safe and level.

How far in advance should I book piano movers?

Two to four weeks is a safe window, and earlier is better near the end of the month when demand is high. Booking ahead helps you lock in your preferred date and gives us time to reserve the right crew and equipment for your instrument.
