Frequently Asked Questions
How much does piano moving cost in Lakewood?
$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 piano out of a Lakewood double?
Yes — board, straps, and a stair-trained crew. Uprights out of walk-ups are the most common specialty job in this housing stock.
Do you move gun safes and other very heavy items?
Yes — safes, commercial fridges, and machinery within residential scale, each quoted after we see the path. Floors get protected along the whole route.
What if the item doesn't fit the stairs at the destination?
We measure at walkthrough and tell you before move day — options, not surprises: disassembly where possible, window/balcony hoisting where safe and approved, or an honest 'it doesn't fit.'
Is a grand piano different from an upright?
Yes — grands move partially disassembled (legs, lyre, 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 cost?
That's piano removal, priced per piano on our piano removal page — disposal is a different, cheaper service than relocation. One call sorts which you need.
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 Lakewood.
How far ahead should I book a specialty move?
A week-plus is comfortable, since the walkthrough comes first. Rush moves happen when the schedule allows — call and ask.
