Grand pianos need real care and real muscle. We handle yours like it's a family heirloom.
Grand pianos weigh 500 to 1,200 pounds. They rest on delicate legs and pedals.[1] Moving one without the right gear can crack the case. It can also snap a leg clean off. We see this a lot in Gedney Farms and Ridgeway. These areas have big historic homes with long driveways. But they often have tight interior turns. Downtown near Mamaroneck Ave, building management usually gives us a strict two hour elevator window. Miss that window and your move gets pushed to another day. Older homes in Battle Hill often have doorways under 30 inches wide. The piano lid or legs need to come off first. Don't wait until moving day to figure this out. Call us ahead of time. We can plan the route and crew size. We'll also pick the right equipment before your piano gets wrapped.
We book the loading dock and elevator window ahead of time. This keeps your move on schedule.
Gedney Farms and Ridgeway homes often need long carries from driveway to door. We bring the right crew size.
Older colonials in Battle Hill have narrow stairs and doorways. We disassemble the legs and lid when needed.
Older pianos can be more fragile than newer models. We pad and strap every corner.
Need it moved today? We can often fit you into our schedule the same day you call.
Nor'easters and icy driveways can delay a move. We watch the forecast and give you options early.
A grand piano is heavy, awkward, and expensive to fix if it's dropped. Waiting to call around only shrinks your options for the day you need. We show up with the right straps, boards, and dollies every time. Our crew knows the buildings, the driveways, and the doorways of this city.
Call us and we'll walk through your home, your building, and your piano's needs. Our Piano Moving Service team is ready when you are.
We keep the process simple so you know what to expect on moving day.
We ask about your piano's size, your home layout, and any building rules. This helps us bring the right crew and gear.
We wrap the piano in moving blankets and secure the legs and lid. If doorways are tight, we disassemble parts first.
Our crew carries and rolls the piano with care using boards and straps. We set it down exactly where you want it.
Pricing depends on stairs, distance to the truck, and building rules like elevator booking. A downtown high-rise move with a reserved dock costs less labor time than a hillside home in Gedney Farms. We give you a free estimate before we start, so you know the number ahead of time. No hidden fees get added once the truck shows up.

Here are answers to what White Plains homeowners ask us most.
Most grand piano moves run between $400 and $1,200 depending on stairs and distance. Downtown high-rise moves with dock access tend to cost less. Hillside homes with long driveways often run higher. We always give a free estimate first.
Most moves take two to four hours from wrap to placement. Tight staircases or elevator windows can add time. We plan around your building's rules so nothing gets rushed.
We don't recommend it. Grand pianos are heavy and unbalanced, and a wrong grip can crack the case. We bring the straps, boards, and crew size needed to do it safely.
Every piano move should be followed by a tuning, since even a smooth ride can shift the strings. We recommend waiting two to three weeks after the move before tuning. This gives the piano time to adjust to the new room.
We often have same day availability for urgent moves. Call us early in the day for the best chance at a same day slot. Weather delays in winter can affect scheduling, so we recommend calling as soon as you know your date.
Loose pedals, a wobbly leg, or cracked finish are signs to flag before moving day. Antique pianos usually need extra padding and a slower pace. Tell us about any known issues when you call.
Yes, we coordinate Certificate of Insurance paperwork and elevator or loading dock windows for downtown buildings. We also handle DPW parking permits when street space is needed. This takes the coordination work off your plate.
