Pianos

Uprights are tall and top-heavy; grands are taken apart and moved on a piano board. Mention the type, the size and any steps when asking for a quote.

Gun safes

Safes can weigh hundreds of pounds or more. Movers need the weight, dimensions and the route, including stairs and doorways.

Appliances

Washers, dryers and refrigerators should be disconnected and prepared before moving day. Some movers do this; others ask you to have it done.

Single-item moves

Bought a piece of furniture on Facebook Marketplace or need a piano moved across town? Many movers take single-item jobs.

Protecting floors

Heavy items can mark hardwood and tile. Movers use floor runners and boards.

Stairs

Moving a heavy item up or down stairs is the riskiest part of the job. Clear the path and keep children and pets away.

Tuning after a move

Pianos often need tuning after a move as they settle to their new room's temperature and humidity.

Older pieces

Antiques and heirlooms may need custom crating. Tell the mover about anything fragile or irreplaceable.
