Why Piano Removal Costs More Than Standard Junk
Pianos are uniquely heavy for their size. A standard upright weighs 400–800 pounds — more than a refrigerator, more than a hot tub section, more than any piece of typical furniture. Moving a piano without proper equipment and technique risks injury, floor damage, and wall damage. We use piano dollies and moving straps designed for this specific job.
Grand pianos add another challenge: the legs must typically be removed and the piano tipped onto its side for maneuvering through doorways. This requires careful technique to avoid cracking the soundboard or damaging the lid.
