A piano is not just heavy, it is awkward and expensive to get wrong. Pair Of Guys moves uprights, consoles, and baby grands with a skid board, straps, and pads — not a furniture dolly and crossed fingers. Damon’s crew has walked pianos down the narrow porch steps that come with a Decatur or Inman Park bungalow.
What’s included
A piano move is its own small operation, and it books with the right rig:
- Skid board, four-strap rig, and full pad-wrap on the case
- Two to four movers depending on the piano and the stairs
- Legs and pedal lyre removed and reset on a grand
- Placement in the room and a check that it sits level
How the day goes
- Type and path. Tell us upright or grand and we ask about steps, turns, and thresholds.
- Wrap and board. The case gets padded and strapped to the board before it tips.
- Stairs. Porch steps and interior turns get a spotter on every corner.
- Set and level. We place it where you want it and confirm it is steady.
Piano pricing
A piano move starts at $250 and prices up with stairs, tight turns, or a grand that needs its legs off. It can ride along with a full household move or book on its own. A gun safe, by comparison, starts at $350.
Stairs, curbs, and Atlanta bungalows
The Westside and intown neighborhoods are full of raised-porch homes where the piano meets four or five steps before it reaches the truck. We plan those turns ahead of time. High-rise piano moves in Buckhead also need a freight-elevator window, so tell Niesha the building when you book. Add the piano to a residential move or start at the Pair Of Guys homepage and request a quote.
What’s Included
- E-track strap-down inside the truck
- 4-wheel piano board for the body
- Walk-boards for stoop and slate steps
- Stair-climbing dolly for the long flight
- Two W-2 movers, third hand for grands
- Blanket-wrap and shrink to protect finish
