Benefits of Hiring a Professional Piano Mover

Functionality You Will Love

Our piano movers are adept at moving large pieces of furniture that require careful handling and attention to detail. Regardless of your piano’s shape and size, we can assure you of transporting it to your new home safely and on schedule.

Capitol Hill Haulers Moving & Storage Company understands the challenges of moving pianos because of their size and your new home’s location. Moving an upright piano to an apartment several floors away from the ground might sound easy because of the elevators. However, if your new building’s elevators are too small for the piano to fit in, we may have to use the stairs to bring your item up to your floor.

The task becomes even more challenging when moving a grand piano. Grand pianos won’t easily fit through a door, so they may have to be disassembled to be brought in or hoisted with a crane and lifted to the appropriate floor.

In either case, our professional piano movers will handle your cherished musical instrument with care. Our team is trained and experienced in disassembling and reassembling pianos. We’re also prepared to handle any paperwork issues that may arise during the relocation of your piano.

We further take our piano moving services up a notch by ensuring that your item is transported with the utmost care, using blankets and pads to protect it from damage. Additionally, full insurance is available for your items. At Capitol Hill Haulers Moving & Storage Company, we know that pianos are big investments, and we intend to keep your piano safe throughout the moving process, from start to finish. For your greater peace of mind, our company is also bonded and fully insured.

How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Piano?

Piano shipments start at around $1,500 for a standard upright piano and can go higher than $2,500 or more for high-value or grand pianos. CHH takes a variety of considerations into account when preparing quotes. Factors that affect the price of a piano shipment include:

Size, Weight, and Age

Large, bulky, and heavy pianos will have higher associated shipping costs. Similarly, older pianos may have more delicate components that require extra precautions and considerations. A standard upright piano could weigh between 500 and 800 pounds, while grand pianos can exceed 1,000 pounds. The size and weight of these instruments mean we take special care when moving them to prevent damage to the piano or the property, as well as to ensure the safety of all movers.

Location

Where the piano is also impacts the moving cost. Things to consider include what floor of the home it is on and the number of doorways, staircases, and steps between the piano and where the moving truck will be. Take precise measurements of the instrument to check that it fits through all doorways and around any sharp corners so there are no surprises come moving day.

Distance

As with shipping any item, how far you are sending the piano will factor into the final price. Certain markets may also have higher or lower pricing than others. Depending on the type of piano, CHH may offer climate-controlled and air-ride suspension trucks so you'll feel confident your piano can safely travel the distance.

Insurance

A professional moving service can offer peace of mind, but it's always a good idea to purchase insurance for valuable items ahead of a move. Purchasing extra insurance is worth it but important to factor into the overall shipping cost.

Timeline

A professional moving service will usually offer pickup and delivery timeframes based on the distance and timeline of your move. Since shipping pianos and other larger items takes more logistics than traditional box cargo, the timeline for shipping may be longer than you are expecting. If you need faster service, talk with one of our shipping experts about our Full Service Expedited moving services and priority pickup.
