Expert Piano Movers: Safe & Professional Piano Moving
Moving a piano is no small task. Whether you're relocating your grand piano, upright piano, or digital piano, ensuring its safety during the move is crucial. At Avant-Garde Moving & Storage, we specialize in professional piano moving with expert handling, secure transportation, and white-glove service.
From navigating tight staircases to offering secure piano storage, our experienced movers are here to provide a seamless and stress-free piano moving experience.
Why Hire Professional Piano Movers?
A piano isn’t just another piece of furniture - it’s a delicate and valuable instrument. Moving it requires specialized techniques, equipment, and expertise. Here’s why hiring professionals is the best choice:
- Damage Prevention - Pianos are heavy yet fragile. Incorrect handling can lead to costly damage.
- Expert Handling - Our movers are trained to disassemble, wrap, and transport pianos safely.
- Stair Navigation - We use special moving boards, padding, and lifts to maneuver pianos on stairs.
- Climate-Controlled Storage - Need temporary storage? We offer secure, climate-controlled piano storage solutions.
- White-Glove Service - We handle everything from packing to setup at your new location.
Fact: Grand pianos can weigh between 500 - 1,200 lb, making them extremely difficult to move without professional help!
Our Piano Moving Process
Pre-Move Planning & Assessment
📍 We request
photos and dimensions of your piano to determine the best moving strategy.
📍 We assess your home for potential challenges like
stairs, tight hallways, or fragile flooring.
Secure Packing & Protection
🔹 Padding & Wrapping: We use thick blankets, padding, and stretch wrap to protect the finish.
🔹 Disassembly (if needed): For grand pianos, we carefully remove legs, pedals, and the lid for safe transport.
🔹 Heavy-Duty Moving Equipment: Our team uses skid boards, dollies, and ramps to ensure smooth handling.
Safe Transportation
🚛 GPS-tracked moving trucks ensure your piano arrives safely.
🚛 We secure the piano to prevent shifting during transport.
🚛 For long-distance moves, we offer custom crating options for extra protection.
Piano Placement & Setup
✔️ Reassembly at the new location (legs, pedals, and lid reattached).
✔️ Careful placement in the new space.
✔️ Recommendations for tuning after the move.
