Piano Movers in Denver

A Piano Moving Company That Treats It Like an Instrument

A piano is heavy, top-heavy and full of parts that do not like being bumped. It is also often one of the most valuable and personal things in a home. Movers On Demand moves pianos across the Denver metro with the right equipment and a crew that has done it before, so the instrument arrives in the same condition it left.

You can book piano moves on their own or as part of a full home move. Either way, we plan them separately from the rest of the furniture. When you request a quote, tell us the type of piano, the floor it is on, the number of stairs at both addresses and any tight turns or narrow doorways along the way.

Upright Piano Movers

Upright pianos are the most common pianos we move, and they are deceptively hard. They are tall and narrow, so their weight sits high, and a single bad angle on a staircase can damage the cabinet and keyboard lid. Our crew pads the whole piano, secures the lid and keyboard cover and moves it with specialized equipment rather than carrying it by hand. On the truck, we strap an upright against the wall so it cannot tip or slide. Digital pianos and keyboards get the same padding and are packed with their stands and benches so nothing is lost.

Grand Piano and Baby Grand Piano Movers

Grand and baby grand pianos take more planning. They usually cannot fit through a doorway standing on their legs, so the legs and pedal assembly have to come off and the body is moved on its side, fully padded and secured. At the new home, everything is put back together and the piano is set in the spot you choose. Because grands are long and heavy, we check the route through both homes ahead of time, including door widths, turns and steps, and bring enough movers to handle the weight safely. If your piano is going up or down stairs, or into a room with a tight entrance, tell us before moving day so we can plan for it.

What Affects Piano Moving Cost

Piano moves cost more than moving a standard piece of furniture because of the weight, the equipment and the extra crew time. The main factors are the type and size of the piano, stairs at either address, the distance between homes and how tight the path is. Ask about piano pricing when you request your quote, and we will explain it before moving day. Many pianos need tuning after a move, since temperature changes and movement can shift the strings, so plan to call your tuner once the piano has settled in its new room.
