Piano & Specialty Moving in Shaker Heights, OH
CLE reviews piano, safe and other specialty-item moves in Shaker Heights before accepting them. Send weight, dimensions and the complete carrying route at both addresses, not just the first doorway.
Piano & Specialty Moving Rate
Every instrument or specialty item requires route review and an exact quote before booking.
- Three-mover specialty crew: $300/hr
2-hour minimum and a one-time $150 travel fee.
Item-specific add-ons may apply; no generic per-item total is published.
Review every landing and turn
Photograph stairs, porch access, tight turns and the permitted loading location. Disclose prior damage and any need for specialist equipment. Acceptance depends on the actual item and route; a picture of the room alone is not a complete assessment.
The minimum is $750: two hours at $300 per crew-hour plus $150 travel. Longer accepted work can cost more. Tuning, repairs, cranes, rigging and structural alterations are not automatically included.
Plan the Shaker Heights pickup and destination
For a Shaker Heights piano or safe, send the weight and complete path at both properties, including porch steps, narrow turns and the final position. Architectural details may constrain access. The accepted specialty scope starts at $750; ordinary moving rates do not replace the specialty assessment.
How Specialty Moving Rates Work
