Quote Request Guidelines:
To obtain the most accurate online estimate, you will need to know the following information:
Type/Size of Piano: To properly account for the manpower and equipment needed to move your piano safely, please specifiy the type of piano and its size. Grand pianos are measured from the front of the keys to the back of the piano. Upright pianos are measured by the height from the floor to the top. See piano type examples below.
Stairs/Steps/Turns/Access: As the price of the move is determined by the ease of entrance/exit, please be prepared to describe the type of steps associated with each location as well as the access to your house. Many of our trucks are 70' long tractor-trailer moving vans. If we are prepared, we can get to any location. See examples below.

Type of Property/Stairs:
 |
Consecutive Steps
Some residences have inside and/or outside steps. If there are no "turns' in the steps, simply count the number of steps the movers will go up or down for the estimate.
|
 |
90 Degree Turn
Some steps are designed with a 90 degree turn. In such cases, the piano may or may not physically fit on the landing. A turn is required to position the piano appropriately to go up or down the next set of steps.
|
 |
90 Degree Pie-Shaped Turn
Same as above but with no true landing. The move will still require a turn, possibly multiple turns, to safely manuever the piano up or down the steps.
|
 |
180 Degree Stairwell Turn
Some flights of steps have a 180 degree turn with a landing. It is important to know the size of the landing. May require 1-2 turns to manuever the piano up or down the steps.
|
 |
Spiral Stairwells
Perhaps the most involved scenario is the spiral staircase. Depending on the arc and number of steps, several turns may be required. Providing photos ahead of time can better prepare our movers and provide the most accurate estimate.
|
|
|
Hoisting
In situations where the piano cannot make the steps, we can locate a reputable crane company to assist in the move.
Important:
-
1. Can the crane get close enough to the house?
-
2. Are any permits required if the street needs to be closed off?
-
3. Are there any overhangs, decks, powerlines, trees or other obstacles?
**Please discuss with a Customer Service Representative.
