Our 5-Step Piano Moving Process
A Strategic Plan for Your Instrument
We have developed a detailed, strategic process to ensure your piano move is as organized and seamless as possible, minimizing the risk of damage or lost parts.
- Step 1: Consultation & Assessment: The process begins with a detailed consultation. You provide us with details about the type of piano, the pickup and delivery locations, and any access challenges. This allows us to come prepared with the right tools and a strategic plan.
- Step 2: Secure Preparation: Our team arrives on time and prepares the area. We lay down protective padding on your floors and wrap the piano in professional-grade moving blankets and stretch wrap to protect its finish from scratches and dents.
- Step 3: Careful Disassembly & Loading: For grand pianos, we carefully disassemble the legs and pedals. The piano is then carefully loaded onto a special dolly or skid board and secured with heavy-duty straps.
- Step 4: Secure Transport: The piano is carefully loaded into our clean, padded vans. We use specialized tie-downs and securing methods to ensure the piano will not shift or move during transit, protecting it from bumps and vibrations.
- Step 5: Delivery & Placement:
When we arrive at your destination, we carefully unload the piano and place it exactly where you want it. For grand pianos, we will reassemble the legs and pedals, ensuring it is ready for use.
