We have used these guys 3 times to move pianos, an upright twice and a baby grand once, and every time they have been on time, professional, polite, and quick while also taking exceedingly good care of the pianos. This last time while one was drawing up my invoice another even sat down and played piano with my 2 year old, who loved it! All wonderful experiences, I will always use them for piano moving. read more

A-1 Pianos - A mover playing with my little girl while the invoice was prepared. He was extremely respectful & she wasn't shy of him at all! - Piano Services Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Pricing was reasonable. Over the phone customer service (scheduling the move) was average, but the movers were great! They were ahead of schedule and called us to see if they could come early. They safely moved the piano from our moving truck to our third floor apartment. The movers were friendly and gave helpful recommendations for piano placement and care. read more

Amazing service!! They arrived early, calling first to ask if that was ok. They did an impeccable job of moving our piano, plus were quick, super nice and friendly. Reasonably priced. Seriously, if you want to be sure the job is headache free, call them! read more

Some of the best customer service I've ever had. The owner came by my house before we booked the move since I was unsure if the piano would fit up our stairs and measured and made sure we were fine. On the day of the move the guys were on time and really fast. A day later the owner called me to say that he'd accidentally overcharged me and refunded back $50. Cost was reasonable too from other companies I'd called, $350 to move a baby grand from Kirkland to Queen Anne with 3 flights of stairs. read more

Tried to get in touch with them. Despite promises nothing happened. I would have been an easy and good customer close by. Seem to have very inconsistent customer service. read more

The movers arrived slightly behind schedule but they called to let me know when they would arrive (thus 4 stars instead of 5). They moved two pianos that day with no issues and the price was very reasonable. read more

I have used A-1 three times; in 2014, 2017, and 2018. Each time they have been punctual, professional, and friendly. They also made recommendations based on the floor I had, in one residence not to move the piano around, in another to use casters, etc. I also have been regularly using their piano tuner, Hak Bo Lee, who has done a great job keeping up my 30-year-old grand piano. read more

These guys are great! Kept us in the loop on their arrival time (early!), worked very quickly and safely, and the stairs on both ends of the move were no match for their dollies and ramps. I will recommend them to others who want a piano moved. read more

Piano moving is not cheap, it isn't easy either, so it goes with the territory. For what you pay, you expect an expert ability and service, and that is what I received from them. Before deciding to hire them, I called another place. The quote was the same, and the way they dealt with me over the phone was rather unprofessional and that made me nervous. So, I chose A-1. Three men with a truck with all the tools they need to efficiently and safely move pianos are what you get. They were running a bit late, so called me to inform me of that, which I appreciated. My new-to-me baby grand was rather old and a bit delicate. They totally understood the delicate nature of the piano, and as they took the legs off getting ready to transport it to my house, they answered my questions and also pointed out some things that I should watch for or consider repairing in the near future. Once the piano got to my house, carrying it up one flight of stairs with a turnaround at the top was smooth and they carefully and efficiently got the piano in place. I would give 4.8 stars if there was a way to do so. The only surprise was that I was charged for the time between my house and their trip back to the shop. I thought the clock ended when they finished at my house, as the clock started when they finished at the last location before my delivery. Because I was the last delivery for the day I got charged for their return trip to their store?? But it was just a 15-minute difference and the guy who wrote up the bill explained to me patiently, so I let it go as part of the cost. If you live far away from A-1 shop, you may want to keep that in mind that you're to pay for the time between when they leave your house and back to their shop. The service itself, I have no complaints. Very nice, efficient, professional, and experienced guys took very good care of my piano. read more

A-1 was recommended by my voice teacher, accompanist and several other professional piano musicians. I see why now. They were professional and very knowledgeable. It was a VERY tight fit up the stairs to our third floor apartment. The crew was not sure it was going to make it when they walked through but they were able to make it work. I believe that their experience made the difference; the head of the crew has been doing this for a very long time. It took all three guys working really hard to get my piano in place and I would use them again- but not for awhile hopefully. I have also been impressed with the office staff and scheduling and the price was fair. Lastly, I am very impressed with Mr. Lee, their piano technician/tuner. He is talented and really knows his pianos. read more

Great experience. They 3 movers arrived on time, moved the piano quickly and got it in the town-home. Great job, highly recommended.

Had an awesome experience with these guys today! I hired them to move my childhood piano (used to belong to my grandma) from my mom's house to my new house. 3 guys showed up on time, moved the piano out in about 5 minutes, met me at my house, and it was in my house in around 10 minutes. They also recommended that we use casters for the bottom of the piano so it didn't scrape our brand new hardwood floors, so I bought some from them on the spot. They cost around $49, and are beautiful (really nice wood) and will protect our floors. They were friendly, professional, and efficient with their time. The man who gave me the bill at the end was really kind and said he'd been with the company for around 10 years, and one of the other guys had been working with the company for 16 years. I wish I had more pianos for them to move! read more

Complicated but terrific move today. I've used a handful of movers in the area--so far these guys were the most pleasant and most accommodating. Arrived on time, wasted no time, and got my piano in its spot no problem. Would hire again. read more

The woman who answered the phone was so snarky, rude and overall unpleasant to talk to that, by the time the conversation was over, I had already decided to take my business elsewhere. Maybe she was having a rough morning or whatever. I don't know and, quite frankly, I don't care. read more

These guys are GREAT! From the first phone call to the delivery. Everything was perfect. When I called to inquire and then schedule, I was given such easy, thorough information it was easy to make a quick decision to schedule. The pricing was explained and he offered a date and time that was when they were already doing two moves in my area which saved me A LOT of money. They called to say they would be early, they easily found the best way to position the truck at my hard to access house. The piano was out in a matter of 5 minutes. Next stop, the high school music dept up the street. The piano was beautifully delivered and I was back home in less than 20 minutes. Miraculous. read more

I'm completely disappointed in the customer service and the level of customer service that I experienced with the female part of this operation I couldn't have been talk to anymore degrading condescending way by a person who I am supposedly seeking for business I myself am in the customer service industry and if I talked to any anyone the way she talk to me I would get in very big trouble at my job I deal with hundreds of people in one sitting in enclosed space for a long period of time she can't even be nice over the phone with one person there's a reason why they are the least expensive movers around there also the least polite she made me feel bad about calling the day of the move to confirm they were actually doing the move because I have not yet received the confirmation email nor the call from the movers that she had said I would get so as a customer paying her money why would I not want to know for sure whether a large and expensive item is actually going to be moved on the day that I am available to receive it from a very difficult location that's far away for me it's almost like shegot pleasure in being a jerk and she actually hung up on me this is all before the move actually happened read more

Really nice on the phone. I need a couch moved to an upper deck (wont fit in through front door) and called. They don't do that but have me a referral. read more

Bret's a very good man and hooked me up nicely (He is owner). I was ready to get the family its first piano. I play guitar and simple keyboards, but otherwise no one in the house even plays piano. For a long time I had thought about getting one because I really believed it was a positive investment for the family in many ways. I checked out A-1 because I live nearby in Greenwood. First I was pleased to see how low a monthly rental can be. Delivery is a few hundred dollars but to me it was still worth the investment. (If you buy within year, you can get half of that delivery fee credited: "pick up" is basically pre-charged and I like it that way.) Bret kept a look-out for the kind of piano I described to him that I thought would be cool (upright full, with some styling). I would come by time and again. One time he saw me (while he was another customer) and said he found the one for me. Ended up starting a rental on the piano and was satisfied and happy with it. Within the year I felt it was a no-brainer to just buy it out right. Kids love it. I love it. Thanks Bret. read more

I was quoted $290 to $325. Final cost was $400+. 2 hours, but the actual work part took at most 10 minutes, counting both ends. The best advice i can give you is that if you are ever getting a piano moved, pick the business closest to the pick-up location. You are paying for the time from when the movers leave their shop to when the job is done. The overage was because these guys say they got stuck in traffic. I was watching traffic on my phone - green everywhere except the route they chose. read more

Very smooth process moving my 5 1/2" grand piano. Thanks!

These guys were great - careful, thorough, polite and did the pre-work necessary to plan and execute a difficult move. It was a pleasure working with them - have used them twice and am completely satisfied. No hesitation...great job! Many thanks to a fine company... read more

They did an excellent job moving my piano from Vashion to Sammamish. It was 8 foot grand piano and they kept me updated by calling me. Their estimation of the time and cost was very close. The delivery crew were very friendly and helpful in recommending placement of the piano in the room. I highly recommend A-1. read more

I Own Parker's Moving Service, we get alot of calls asking about pianos needing moved, we refer these guys to all our customers who only need a piano moved, or have an oversized one. To date we have had no one call back to complain and have had several call back to thank us for the referral to A-1. Keep up the good work and we will keep sending you customers. read more

My husband and I were so impressed and thrilled with our experience at A-1! We were looking for a piano for our enthusiastic son and weren't quite sure what type of piano would be best for our immediate and long term use. We don't know much about what to look for so it was important to us that we buy from someone who really knew what they were talking about and not someone just out to make a commission sale. First, let me say that Brett was amazing to work with! He listened to our priorities, our likes and dislikes, and most importantly our budget and made a few suggestions. He explained the difference between an upright and a console, how they are made differently and why some have a "brighter" sound than others. He encouraged us to play around on them to really hear their individual sound. He was extremely knowledgeable about each and every piano he had in his shop...I know that he takes great care in choosing what he adds to his inventory! After looking and testing out a few pianos that he had in his shop (which is huge and has a great selection!) we were able to narrow it down to 3 possibilities. What's great about A-1 is that you have the option to rent/rent to own at very reasonable prices, make payments or purchase outright . So many options!! Just as we were about to leave to "think it over" Brett recommended that we take a look at one that was in the way back of the room. He thought it may be the one to fit all of our needs...and he was so right... it was perfect! So perfect, in fact, that we decided to buy it right then...no more thinking needed! Delivery was smooth, respectful and timely. Truly an outstanding experience from start to finish! Our 4 year old is loving the piano, playing daily and writing his own songs! It has added so much to our lives as a family and I am so grateful to Brett and everyone at A-1 for being so dedicated to integrity. I highly, highly recommend this family owned business if you are in the market for renting or buying a piano, you will not go wrong!! read more

On the advice of other yelpers, we decided to try A-1 last week to move a piano into our home. They were fantastic - super friendly, great with the gentle move and setup, and moved quickly since we were paying by the hour. They know a ton about pianos and also have a tuner if you need one. I would highly recommend them! read more

A-1 should change their name to D-Minus I confirmed three times the time, date and addresses. They texted me twice; "Confirmed. The crew will be there at 4 on Thursday, Sept. 5th 2017". 4:05 p.m. I am waiting at the home of the owner who made a special trip to be there, and no truck. I call... Me, "Where is the truck?" The A-1 condescending guy with the accent says, "I called you yesterday and got your voicemail". Me, "And you did not leave a message"? Him, "No, last week you said that you would call back". I said that I had texted the information requested and received a genuine confirmation. Though I am thinking, "I've already had a girlfriend like you!" Me, "What the hell?" Him, "Well, we have an automatic system". ?! Me, "... what part of; 'Our crew will be there at 4', don't I understand?" "I will be telling people about this." And I expected to hear from him like a Seinfeld piano-nazi, "No move for you!" read more

Excellent customer service! We just bought a piano 3 months ago, they moved it with great ease. Now we have to move it again to have our hardwood floor re-finished and are using them again! They appreciate repeat customers of course! Thank you! read more

The movers were on time and very professional. They were quick but very cautious. They also gave me great advice about placement and tuning. I also felt the price was very reasonable. read more

Our experience with A-1 piano was excellent. They offered helpful guidance for a variety of available pianos and we rented one for two years before buying. Very helpful and communicative staff from top to bottom. Highly recommended! read more

I created a Yelp account just so I could give these guys 5 stars. Today was the second time we hired them to move our GIANT piano down two flights of stairs and they did an amazing job with fantastic attitudes. I feel like if I was a piano mover I would silently resent whoever asked me to lift such a heavy object, but both times the movers have been so genuinely kind. Hilario helped us this time and he was totally personable and friendly. Thank you guys so much! We'll definitely be calling you again. read more

I needed to get rid of a lovely but broken (sound board) 19th Century Ellison upright grand--weighed about a zillion pounds. We needed the additional space as my husband just began hospice services and I wanted to move a bed into the room so we could be together at night. A-1 was fabulous. The quote and the price were exactly the same, and the three guys were personable, friendly, professional, and sympathetic. They had that piano out and down the stairs in no time with no hassle or drama (of which we have plenty and need no more). I would recommend them to anyone and gladly threw in a tip for their assistance in solving a problem that seemed a bit overwhelming to me. read more

A-1 did a stellar job moving my beloved piano. They took great care, even reminding us to dust the back side of the piano while it was away from the wall. They were courteous, efficient, and very accommodating. I would recommend them and would certainly use them again. read more

I looked online for a piano moving company with some good reviews, and found A-1. They certainly lived up to their past reviews. Very helpful, friendly, professional, went out of their way to make sure we were happy with their work. I would highly recommend them. Also, their quote was exactly the same as the bill! An added plus. read more

We just had the best piano moving experience with A-1. They arrived on time and performed the service we requested in under 15 minutes! We needed our upright piano moved downstairs. They were kind, courteous, efficient, and very experienced! I would absolutely use them again if I need my piano moved. The price was also very reasonable. read more

A-1 was fabulous. Three men heroically moved my giant piano, and then, a few hours later-- when I needed to move it a few feet (to a new, improved spot) and put wooden caster cups under it-- the owner, Bret, himself came to our house to lift the piano. Bravo! Very lovely, caring, friendly and highly recommended. So happy to have them in my neighborhood. read more

Bret was very prompt, honest and helpful in his communications with us regarding moving our piano. He even came out to our home to look at the stairs, at no charge. The movers arrived on time and were courteous and professional. I would highly recommend A-1 -- this is a top-notch, well-run, trustworthy business. read more

I am more than satisfied -- I am thoroughly impressed -- with A-1 Piano's services in moving a piano for me this week. It started with my first call, when I got a real human being who was able to help me (no "I'll have someone call you") and did help me with clear information about costs and other details. I got that same courtesy and competence on my subsequent calls as I set up the move. At one point, I complicated things with the possibility of their moving a second piano the same morning, and they were accommodating with that, too. As for the three-man moving team, they were punctual, polite, and remarkably skilled at getting the piano out of one place and into the next. They worked with amazing speed. As charges were by the hour, they were able to present me with a bill $40 cheaper than the lower end of the estimate they had given me. It is rare and so gratifying to have a completely satisfying experience with a business one has just chosen off the Internet. Thank you, A-1! (December 20, 2016) read more
