Piano & Specialty Moving in Independence, OH
Pianos, gun safes, and the oversized pieces a long-held home accumulates are moved with the equipment and crew the item demands. $300/hr for a three-mover specialty crew, plus a one-time $150 travel fee, 2-hour minimum; no separate item fees; exact quote required. Stairs, turns, weight, and access are reviewed before booking.
Getting rid of a piano rather than moving it is disposal, priced per piano on our piano removal page — usually far cheaper than relocation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does piano moving cost in Independence?
$300/hr for a three-mover specialty crew, plus a one-time $150 travel fee, 2-hour minimum; no separate item fees; exact quote required. Stairs, landings, item weight, and distance are reviewed before we issue the exact quote.
Can you move an upright out of a split-level?
Yes — board, straps, and a stair-trained crew. Independence's mid-century housing includes plenty of split-levels and we plan the path at the walkthrough.
Do you move gun safes and heavy equipment?
Yes — safes, commercial-grade fridges, and machinery within residential scale, each quoted after we see the path. Floors are protected along the whole route.
What if it doesn't fit at the destination?
We measure at walkthrough and tell you before move day — options rather than surprises: disassembly where possible, or an honest 'it doesn't fit.'
Is a grand piano different?
Yes — grands move partially disassembled on a skid board and take a larger crew. The walkthrough quote covers all of it.
I want the piano gone, not moved — what's that?
That's piano removal, priced per piano on our piano removal page. Disposal is a different, cheaper service than relocation.
Do you move hot tubs?
Relocation is quoted after a walkthrough like any specialty item; disposal is its own priced service — see hot tub removal in Independence.
How far ahead should I book?
A week or more, since the walkthrough comes first. Rush moves happen when the schedule allows.
