    We’ll call you to confirm the details. No obligation.

    We use your contact details, addresses and photos to prepare your quote, contact you about this request and plan the move. They are not sent to our analytics or advertising tools. See our Privacy Policy.

    What your estimate includes

    Start with the piano, then account for the route and access. Local upright moves start at $275; baby grand and grand moves start at $375.

    The first 10 miles from pickup to delivery and the first 3 steps at each end.

    Your quote depends on the instrument, distance, access and moving date. Grand piano size is confirmed from photos.

    Unusual instruments and routes outside standard pricing receive a personal quote.

    The local price, explained

    Use these published rules to understand your estimate before choosing a date. Enter both addresses and count the steps at each end separately.

    Local piano moving price rules
    ItemPrice
    Upright, spinet or console From $275
    Baby grand From $375
    Grand From $375
    Beyond the first 10 miles$10 / started 5 miles
    Beyond 3 steps at each end$5 / extra step
    Within the same property$50 less; $225 minimum

    Elevator access has no per-step charge. Tell us the elevator dimensions and any reservation requirements, because the instrument still needs a suitable route.

    Two examples you can check

    Upright, 18 miles, 5 steps at pickup

    The $275 starting price plus $20 for the two additional 5-mile blocks and $10 for two extra pickup steps gives a $305 list estimate, if delivery has no more than 3 steps.

    Baby grand, within one property

    The $375 starting price less the $50 same-property adjustment gives a $325 list estimate, with no more than 3 steps at either end.

    These are calculation examples, not completed moves or fixed quotes. They assume standard access. The calendar shows the price for your selected date; instrument size or unusual access may need review.

    Why your date and access matter

    The calendar can show a lower price on some local dates. Compare the dates available for your route; a displayed discount applies to that date, not every future move.

    Photos of tight turns, outside steps, long paths and the piano help us assess work that a mileage calculation cannot describe. Include parking or building access restrictions in your note.

    For Los Angeles–San Francisco moves, use the route prices. The local $275/$375 starting rates do not apply to that trip.

    Your questions, answered

    Is the price different for a grand piano?

    Local baby grand and grand moves start at $375. The size of a grand and access at both addresses must be reviewed; photos help confirm the quote.

    Do stairs at both homes count together?

    The first 3 steps at pickup and the first 3 at delivery are included separately. Each additional step at either end adds $5 under the published local pricing rules.

    When do I pay?

    Payment is after the move, in cash or by Zelle. Submit the details for review and confirmation before moving day.
