Service
Piano Movers
Pianos need specialized dollies, heavy padding, and a crew that knows how to angle them through a DC row-house doorway or down Bethesda basement stairs. We move uprights, spinets, consoles, and baby grands with the right gear, insured and text-first from booking to drop-off.

Pricing
What it costs.
You get one flat price before we start — no hourly clock, confirmed in writing. Only three things move the number, and you hear about all of them while we're quoting: how much there is, how hard it is to get to (stairs, walk-ups, long carries), and how far apart the stops are.

What DMV customers say
"I seriously couldn't recommend him enough. He was a complete gentleman and I couldn't be more grateful for his help. I had a tasker cancel last minute and he reached out to his network and got another guy to help us move. Very bright, attentive, and offered countless suggestions that made the move so much easier."
"Responded quickly to my request and arrived early. Thanks to him, I'm able to decorate for the holidays without being exhausted. He moved all of my items and adhered to all of my requests! I'd definitely hire him again."
"Amazing! Friendly, quick, communicative. Helped me out so much by being able to get the job scheduled on short notice!"
"Very pleasant, courteous young man. He worked quickly. I live on the third floor, no elevator. He didn't complain, or even take breaks. I highly recommend him."
"Helpful, accommodating and very smart! If you need something done right this is your guy!"
"Made things extremely easy. He communicated very well and was on time. Handled my items with care and got things to my place in a timely manner. Will definitely use again."
Our promise
Four promises we put money behind.
These are the things we owe you on every job, and what happens if we miss.
The price you approve is the price you pay
Your flat quote is written down before we lift a box. If we misjudge the job, we eat the difference instead of renegotiating with you in a hallway.
On time, or $50 comes off your bill
We arrive inside your window ready to work. If we're more than 30 minutes late and haven't called you first, $50 comes off the total. You don't have to ask.
Insured and building-ready
Our crews are fully insured and we issue your building's certificate of insurance the same day, free, so paperwork never pushes your date.
If something breaks, we sort it out in writing
Everything gets padded and wrapped. If something gets damaged, file a claim in your portal with photos and we'll resolve it with you in writing.

FAQ
Piano Movers questions, answered
How much does it cost to move a piano in DC?
Uprights typically run $385–$605 depending on stairs and access. Baby grands run $660–$1,320 with disassembly. You get a flat quote before we book, no per-pound reweighs.
Do you tune the piano after the move?
We don't tune. We recommend waiting 2–4 weeks after the move (so the piano acclimates to the new room) and can refer local DMV tuners.
Can you get a piano up a flight of stairs?
Yes, stairs, tight landings, and walk-ups are routine. Send a photo of the path when you quote so we send the right crew size.
