Piano Moving

Better Life Moving company offers reliable and high quality piano moving services for an affordable price. Everyone knows that items such as piano or other musical instruments can get very expensive and we want to be able to assist you in transporting those items safely, with care, and on time. Whether you are moving locally or out of state, rest assured that your piano is going to be relocated properly and intact. 

We know how to properly move your piano

When it comes to moving musical instruments, a moving company that you hire has to take special care of these types of items since they are extremely fragile, expensive and some of them are very big. Any wrong move and you can have your musical instrument damaged.

Piano is one of the biggest and heaviest musical instruments and there is a special procedure in place that needs to be done in order to properly, carefully, and efficiently move it with zero damage. Some say that piano transportation is one of the hardest tasks that moving companies perform. Most of the time, items such as pianos are relocated locally, however, since it is an expensive item, some customers ask to take it along with other items to another state that they are moving to. The average weight of a piano is around 700 pounds and can go all the way up to 1,300 pounds. It is an extremely big and heavy item and before hiring a moving company for your relocation or just to move your piano alone, you need to make sure that the movers are able to perform this type of service.

Another point to make sure that the moving company you hire for your piano relocation needs is experienced and competent in this type of service is to minimize the potential damage not only to your piano but to your home as well. Since the piano is extremely big and heavy, any wrong move by the movers and the piano can fall on the floor or any surrounding walls/furniture items potentially causing damage. Proper care must be the main priority of the movers in order to safely transport your piano.

On top of that, we do have a few moving trucks that have built-in lifts in order to be able to carefully place your piano into the moving truck. Once your musical instrument is there it will be properly secured by straps to make sure it’s stable while on the move.

Our trucks are able to move your items locally or long distance and have passed all the necessary inspections.

At your destination address, it will be brought down with the lift as well and then placed where it is supposed to go using a moving pad as well.

With that procedure in place, your expensive and valuable piano or other big and heavy item will be safe and intact.

Piano moving rates

When it comes to piano moving rates, various factors will play an important role in determining the final price for your service.

The minimum rate for piano transportation would be $179/hour, which includes 4 movers and one truck. Depending on the travel time for our team and the distance in between your addresses, your total amount will be calculated.

If your piano is extremely heavy or if it is located above the ground floor and involves stairs, you might need to hire mover movers, thus the rate is going to be more expensive.

Our team of dedicated and professional customer service agents will be able to clarify the rates for you after they will collect all the necessary information and potentially photographs of your piano.

Piano moving does not have to be expensive as long as we are on the same page and get all the necessary information before determining the rate for you.

Please note that our rates are subject to change due to the availability and seasonality.

How do we handle piano moving

Better Life Moving company has a great experience with piano relocation services as well as proper equipment and a competent team of professional movers in order to provide smooth and reliable service. On top of that, we value your time and our team will always come prepared for your service in order to be as efficient as possible.

Normally, when it comes to piano moving, at least 4 professional movers will be sent to perform that task as pianos tend to be extremely heavy and have to be moved using a special moving pad. Moving pad will assist the team in lifting your piano as well as protect the surroundings of your home.

I picked better life moving after discussing my need with the woman who returned my call. Everything was set for a Sunday afternoon pick up and delivery of a pool table i had purchased. The window they gave me was 2:00-3:00 window. I arrived at about 2:10 to the seller's house. Waited until almost 3:45 with no contact from the moving company. So not only did they make me wait around they also made the sellers waste their time. I tried calling the office yet got no response even though it said on their site they were open. I would never use this company for any moving needs. Apparently the customer doesn't matter to this company. I figure now I will have to fight to get my deposit returned.

This moving company is aptly named Better Life Moving. I hired them through the thumbtack app. Professional from the beginning, response time was fast and I was able to schedule with not much lead time. Communication was impeccable including budget friendly costs and just taking this move head on. Both apts had tricky parking but that didn't stop them from pulling their very large moving van right up to the entrances. They also disassembled and then reassembled my canopy bed. They broke down two A/C's, full kitchen, three bedrooms, living room and outdoor patios and put it all back together again at my new apt!

I had to do an emergency move at the end of July and I called Better Life Moving one day before my move. I initially went with them because they were the cheapest movers but in terms of quality they were better than other movers who I have usually paid far more for. They came on time, moved everything quickly, were very handy with the pieces of furniture that needed disassembling, made sure not to scratch my floors, and rounded down to the nearest minute for the cost (unheard of in the moving industry - most people either round up to the nearest quarter, or the nearest hour). I've seldom had experiences where folks go above and beyond to really ensure a great quality of service. This was one of those.

Daria is super helpful and very quick with getting you fit into their schedule asap. Technicians did well on their first order we needed assistance with and we have since booked another job with them. Great help for moving larger heavier items! Grateful to have located this company.

Better life moving showed up on time (maybe even a minute early) with two people to move a couch down two flights and another up. The second couch they brought up was not easy to maneuver—legs would not come off and the space was tight. Initially they thought they would have to pull it up a level outside and through the patio door. Their creativity and ingenuity had them manage to make it through the front door which was incredibly impressive considering the space they had to work with! And, they did this all with no damage. The two folks were incredibly respectful, punctual and just all round nice people. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Very responsive and professional! Immediate response after inquiring about a (sort of) last minute job (for one day later). U received a very competitive quote (another company that reached out after asked for double what they quoted!) Upon arrival, there were some hiccups with the space vs. scale of the item(s) being moved (refrigerators), resulting in them needing to dismantle some parts to fit through doorway (which they’ve graciously done without any complaints). They were very professional, courteous and efficient. I couldn’t ask for a better experience! I would highly recommend them and absolutely not hesitate to use them again!
