About piano moving
From a standard upright to a baby grand, professional piano movers can move the piano in your home or workplace to a new location.
Make sure your piano is taken care of with the help of a professional – don’t chance moving it with a few friends. It’s big, heavy, and needs to be expertly transported to the new location without damage!
Considerations
It’s easy to fall in love with the piano you’re learning to play. However, when it comes to moving, it can be difficult to figure out how to do it safely. The top considerations you need to keep in mind are covered in this part.
- How many flights of stairs
Perhaps you want to move your piano from one level of your home to another. Then again you may be planning to move to an upper-level apartment. A piano moving company can help you navigate your piano based on the number of flights of stairs you have. Tell your piano mover about any stairs at the pick-up or drop-off location ahead of time. This way, they can bring the equipment required to take your piano up and down steps safely. If there’s access to a passenger or freight elevator, let your pro know. This may change how they approach the move.
Maybe you want to move your piano between the different levels of your home or you may be moving to an upper-level apartment where stairs are an issue? If you have a lot of stairs, a piano moving company may be required to help you navigate your piano.
Before you book the piano removal business, tell them about the stairs at the pick up or drop off location. The equipment needed to take the piano up and down steps can be brought with them on moving day.
Inform them if you have access to a freight or passenger lift. They may approach the move differently because of this – and it may change the price as a result!
- Distance of the move
Let your moving company know how far your piano needs to go before they start. It won’t be necessary to use a truck for a move within the building. You can keep costs down with to a minimum in this case.
Your piano will need to be moved by truck if it is going to a new home. It is possible for a long journey to cost extra depending on the distance.
The distance between the pick-up and drop-off locations needs to be measured in miles. You should ask for a cost estimate once you have the distance.
You can keep surprises to a minimum if you get an accurate quote at the start.
- Time
It can take a few hours or all day for a piano to be removed. The exact time required depends on where the piano is now and where the piano needs to be transported to. An in- home move won’t take as long since you don’t have to travel anywhere.
If you’re traveling further away, it’s important to factor in the travel distance to the time frame for the move. The price of a long-distance piano removal will be more than the price of a local piano removal.
You should keep in mind that any stairs will make your move take a bit longer. Both the pick up and drop off locations need to be considered.
If required, it is also advisable to allow time for the piano to be prepared for the move to begin.
Preparing for your piano moving service
It’s a good idea to clear the space around your piano to save time. If the piano is easy to access, the job will be easier.
You can open up the working area by moving furniture out of the way. If you have rugs, they should be removed too.
It’s a good idea to remove wall hangings so they don’t get bumped.
Failing to prepare for the move will add time to the job and increase the cost.
