This week, I used Jim's Piano Movers to move a baby grand piano I had purchased from someone in a nearby subdivision, to my house less than 5 miles away. Previous to hiring them, I called 6 other places for quotes and availability to get a good sense of what pricing might be.
First off, don't utilize a standard moving company. From the people I spoke with, I didn't get a good feeling that they were knowledgeable on piano moving. Secondly, their rates are far off from those that specialize in moving pianos.
Anyways, from the get go, the quote and booking process with Jim and his son was seamless and easy.
On piano moving day, Jim and son arrived promptly on time. Once they started going, you could tell they had years of experience in moving pianos.
They had to take the legs off, which they did so with ease and delicately. They wrapped up the piano very well and on to the dolly. What's great to see was the attention to detail on where they laid down padding on the floor and around the ramps to get down and over steps and the caution in their movement not to hit or dent anything on the floor and walls.
The family we bought the piano from was putting their house up for sale and just had the walls repainted so there was some high concern about hitting them. Let me tell you, I watched like a hawk and not one thing was hit. It wasn't a straight out either, they had to move around and up and down a sunken floor.
Once loaded and secured, they brought it over to my house and used the same caution as they brought it in. They set the piano back up and reinstalled the legs and pedals in no time and it was back up and ready to play.
Not only are the great movers, but they are highly knowledgeable about pianos. Some of the cool things they pointed about our piano, no one would know if they weren't knowledgeable.
If you're looking for someone to move your piano with care and to do it right, you should be calling these guys now to hire them. Next time I have to move our piano, better believe I'll be calling Jim and his son.
Trust me, these are they guys you want moving something that valuable.
Thanks you guys for taking care good care of us! read more
