Piano Removal
Piano Removal
Heavy Item Specialists — Floors and Walls Protected
Pianos are one of the heaviest and most awkward items in any home. We have the crew and the equipment to remove upright and grand pianos safely — without scratching your floors, dinging your walls, or putting anyone's back at risk.
The Real Cost of Putting It Off
Pianos Weigh 300–1,200 Pounds
Upright pianos typically weigh 300–500 lbs. Grand pianos can exceed 1,200 lbs. Moving one without proper equipment and an experienced crew is one of the most reliable ways to cause a serious injury or destroy your floors and walls.
An Unused Piano Takes Up Enormous Space
A piano that nobody plays occupies a significant footprint in your living room, dining room, or spare bedroom. That space could be used for furniture, a home office, or simply open floor space that makes your home feel larger and more functional.
Pianos Are Difficult to Donate Without Help
Many people want to donate their piano rather than dispose of it, but coordinating pickup with a school, church, or community organization is complicated. Having a removal crew that can coordinate the logistics makes donation actually happen instead of just being a good intention.
DIY Piano Moves End in Injury or Damage
Every year, homeowners attempt to move pianos with friends and furniture dollies — and end up with back injuries, crushed fingers, gouged hardwood floors, and damaged doorframes. The risk simply isn't worth it when a professional crew is available.
Everything We Handle
The Right Crew for the Job
We Have the Right Equipment
Piano dollies, moving straps, stair-climbing equipment, and floor protection — we come prepared for the specific challenges of moving a piano. We don't improvise with furniture dollies and hope for the best.
Your Floors and Walls Stay Undamaged
We use floor runners, corner guards, and proper technique to move pianos without leaving a mark. Hardwood floors, carpet, tile, and painted walls are all protected throughout the removal process.
We Navigate Stairs and Tight Spaces
Pianos often need to come down stairs, through narrow hallways, or around tight corners. We assess the route before we start and use the right approach for your specific layout — no guessing, no forcing.
Donation Coordination Available
If your piano is in playable condition and you'd like it donated to a school, church, or community organization, we can help coordinate the logistics. A piano that still has life in it deserves a second home.
