A piano is one of the most difficult items to move safely. They're heavy, awkward, and sensitive to impact — a single misstep on a staircase can damage the instrument or injure the crew. Horizon Boston Movers has the specialized equipment, trained crew, and experience to move your piano without incident. We handle uprights, spinets, baby grands, and full grand pianos for local moves across Boston and long distance moves to any state.
Specialized equipment: Piano dollies, heavy-duty straps, moving blankets, and ramps. We bring the right tools for every piano type and every building layout.
Trained crew: Piano moving requires technique, not just strength. Our crew is trained specifically in piano handling — how to tilt, strap, and navigate stairs without putting stress on the instrument.
Fully insured: Every piano move is covered. If something goes wrong, you're protected. Certificate of insurance available on request.
We assess before we move: Before move day, we ask about the piano type, the building layout, staircase dimensions, and destination access. No surprises when we arrive.
On time, every time: We show up when we say we will. Piano moves require coordination — we don't leave you waiting.
1. Tell us about your piano
Type, size, and current location. We ask about staircase access, elevator availability, and destination layout so we can plan properly.
2. We confirm the plan
Crew size, equipment needed, timing, and any building requirements sorted before move day.
3. Preparation
We wrap your piano in moving blankets and padding, secure the keyboard lid, and protect the legs and pedals before anything moves.
4. Loading and transport
Using a piano dolly and proper technique, we load the piano onto the truck and secure it for transit. No improvising, no shortcuts.
5. Delivery and placement
We unload and position the piano exactly where you want it in your new space. Legs reassembled if removed for transport.
6. Final inspection
We check the piano over with you before we leave. Any concerns addressed on the spot.
We've moved pianos in Boston triple-deckers:
Narrow staircases, tight landings, no elevator. We know how to angle and navigate a piano through spaces most movers won't attempt.
Grand piano disassembly:
Grand and baby grand pianos require leg removal and careful positioning on a piano board before transport. Our crew is trained in proper grand piano disassembly and reassembly.
Two-person minimum for uprights, three for grands:
We staff correctly for the piano type. No under-crewed jobs that put the instrument or the crew at risk.
Floor and door protection:
We protect your floors and door frames at both origin and destination. Piano moves can cause collateral damage — we prevent it.
Long distance piano moves available:
Moving your piano out of state? We handle long distance piano moves with the same care as local ones. Flat-rate pricing, fully insured.
