Piano Movers in San Antonio, Texas

If you have a piano to move in the San Antonio area, no matter what size or type, it’s always wise to call a professional mover for help rather than attempt the job on your own. With most pianos weighing several hundred pounds, and a grand piano weighing upwards of 1200 pounds, it just makes sense to let an expert do it. On top of that, pianos have lots of delicate and awkward parts, from legs to keys, which can easily be damaged if you don’t know what you’re doing.

For professional piano moving services in and around San Antonio, turn to Texas Best Movers. You may already know us for our residential and commercial moving expertise, as well as our full packing services. But did you also know we specialize in moving large, heavy items such as pianos?

A piano move, when done by professionals, should only take two people, unless there are stairs and awkward spaces involved, then we may send three. There are many reasons why our professionals are right for the job. We:

• Know exactly how to disassemble a grand piano, transport it, and assemble it again in the new place.
• Bring skids, dollies, tools, straps, and pads for an efficient and safe job, as well as boards that are able to move many hundreds of pounds across floors without damage.
• Understand the sentimental and financial value of pianos, taking great effort to move them with care.

Not only are we well-versed in all aspects of moving pianos, we have worked with every brand out there, from Steinways to Baldwins. When you call us for a free quote on your piano move, we’ll advise you on the process and what you can do to prepare for the move beforehand. Here’s what you can do before we even step foot into your home, to make the process go more smoothly:

• Plan out the preferred route of transport for the movers. Relocate any furniture that may get in the way, as well as loose rugs, ottomans, toys and anything else that could trip our movers up.
• Protect the vulnerable areas of your home, such as freshly-painted walls, flooring, wall artwork and photo frames. Remove them if you can, or cover them with tarps.
• Remove any accessories from the piano, such as caster wheels, pedals and the music desk (where the sheet music is propped up). Move the bench out of the way and remove any music sheets and books that may be inside.
• Make an appointment for tuning after the piano is in your new home, not before. Several adjustments may occur during transport, no matter how careful your movers are. Keys get jostled, for one thing. For another, the piano will be subjected to a range of temperature extremes that can impact its inner workings.

Rest assured, our piano movers are licensed and insured with several years of relevant experience moving large items such as pianos. We have the routine down to a science.
