      Move a Piano Yourself: Is It Worth?

      Moving a piano alone is fraught with risks that could lead to severe injuries and costly damages. You need adequate physical strength to lift, carry and load the piano. Similarly, proper coordination is required to handle logistical complexities like moving the piano in tight spaces or urban areas in Milton.

      In most cases, you'll find that you don't have the knowledge and experience to handle the move and should thus hire professionals. We believe that DIY piano relocation is not worth it and therefore a risky endeavour because of the following:

      • Without specialized piano moving tools like skid boards, you may significantly harm the piano and your property as well.
      • You may improperly and uncarefully transport the piano using a standard vehicle. This may damage the piano's internal components hence affecting its quality over time.
      • One may lack the expertise to properly set up the piano after a move, leading to issues with its playability.

      What Do We Offer

      Serving the Milton residents is a calling that we've taken seriously since our company's inception till date. We redefine piano moving services in Milton as follows:

      • Eco-friendly piano packing materials: At High Stream Moving we use bamboo-based padding made from biodegradable materials and custom crates made from sustainable wood sources.

      How Much Does It Cost to Move a Piano in Milton?

      Moving a grand piano from a setting with 3 stairs and with the help of at least 2 movers costs between $550 and $700. A spinet piano or a small upright one requires around $390 for relocation while moving a heavy upright baby grand piano will cost you approximately $450. 

      These costs exclude storage charges because we offer one-month free storage solutions. However, it's worth mentioning that we calculate our costs based on different factors: 

      • Distance & Location: If accessing the building is challenging or there are stairs, the cost might be high. Covering short distances may be cheaper, unlike long distance piano moving. 
      • The Piano's Size and Design: Moving a big piano with a complicated design requires extra manpower, which impacts the final cost overall. 
      • Extra Services: Additional services like customized protection plans may increase the cost of moving a piano in Milton. 

      Please call us at (800) 430-1537 for accurate piano relocation estimates.

        The risks of moving a piano include damages from improper handling or environmental changes. Also, if proper equipment and techniques aren't used, lack of experience can lead to physical injury to the people involved. Inexperienced movers, such as floors, walls, and doorways, can damage property.

        Our experienced movers will take even long-distance piano moving flawlessly.

        Before moving a piano with our company, providing specific details or concerns about your instrument is essential. This could include its type, make, model, age, and any existing damage. Depending on this information, we will offer you the best terms; in some cases, grand piano moving may be required.

        We also need to know the locations for pickup and delivery: are there any stairs, landings, narrow doorways, or tight corners? This information helps us plan the move and ensure we have the right equipment and team members.

        Finally, you should understand the cost and what is included in it, our insurance coverage, and our policies for scheduling and cancellations. We want to make sure the entire process is transparent and straightforward.

        The legs of a grand piano are always removed for moving, but this typically isn't the case for an upright piano. However, some kinds of spinnet pianos have legs that can be detached.

        It generally takes at least two to four people to move one piano safely. However, the exact number depends on the piano's size and weight, the path and distance of the move, and the movers' physical capability and qualifications.

        To protect your piano when moving, it is often wrapped in shrink+ thick moving blankets and secured with straps on a piano skid board. The piano is moved using dollies to minimize the risk of injury or damage. Moving blankets are also used underneath to protect the floor. Also, one of the best protection is experience and adequate physical shape.

        Improper piano moving can indeed cause damage. Potential damage includes scratches or dents to the piano's finish, broken legs or pedals, and internal damage to the strings, hammers, or soundboard.

        Yes, a piano has to be tuned after moving. Changes in location, transportation, piano position, and environment can affect the tension of the piano's strings, leading to changes in sound. It's generally recommended to wait a week after the move to allow the piano to acclimate before tuning.

        Moving a piano is a challenging task that requires exceptional moving skills, experience, physical strength, special equipment, and techniques. Pianos have delicate internal components and awkward shapes. They are cumbersome but also very fragile. The cost can also reflect insurance coverage for potential damage. And also, distance matters: local piano moving is cheaper than long-distance transportation.

        While it's technically possible for an upright piano to be laid on its back, it's not generally recommended. The internal mechanisms of a piano are not designed to withstand the weight of the piano when positioned this way, which could cause damage.

        Hiring professional piano movers is highly recommended and advised because they have specialized training, equipment, and experience. We understand the complexities of moving a piano and how to minimize risks. We also provide insurance, which offers financial protection in the unlikely event of damage. Save your efforts, health, and money by hiring local community movers.

        Yes. Basic insurance is always included in the quote. Extended insurance options are available upon request.

        Moving a piano is difficult because of its size, weight, and fragile nature. Pianos weigh anywhere from 300 to 1,000 pounds, and their irregular shape makes them awkward to maneuver and handle. They also contain delicate internal components that can be damaged if improperly handled. Furthermore, their fine-tuning can be affected by movement and environmental changes, making the moving process even more complex, sometimes extreme.

        Yes, if you need your piano and house to stay intact during transportation. Our Ontario professional piano movers have experience, equipment, skills, and adequate physical level for an accurate, stress-free move. Just imagine these guys making a living by moving pianos. It's their professional activity to relocate your piano safely.

        We use moving blankets under the piano board to drag it safely without scratching the floor. If the piano board is made of wood, it can still make scratches when touching the floor or tile. Also, we build our own custom-made heavy-duty moving dollies with rubber wheels only. Pianos are heavy so that plastic wheels can leave dents and scratches on the floor.

        It is not recommended to do it yourself. Improper techniques and a lack of experience can lead to serious injuries or even death. Moving the piano upright or downstairs is handled with great care. We use special piano skidboards, custom-made dolly, strong straps, and padded blankets, and our experienced team guides the piano step-by-step.

        The piano moving cost varies from $390 to $700+ and depends on several factors, including size and type of piano, seasonality, distance, complexity, and number of stairs. In our article on how piano moving cost can be calculated, we've looked in detail at all the factors that affect the cost and included a formula for calculating it.
