Who Are Piano Movers Near Me?
If you own a piano, you definitely understand how fragile and valuable it is and why you need movers who know what they are doing.
Just because a moving company has a group of men with branded t-shirts and moving trucks doesn’t mean that they know how to handle fragile items such as pianos. It takes a particular skill and experience to be the best piano movers.
Ideally, you may need to move your piano for one of these three reasons:
â—Ź You are moving your piano from your old house to your new place of residence
â—Ź You are moving your piano to a storage facility
â—Ź You are moving your piano to a concert or recital and back
At Nellions, we’ve got just that – experience and expertise in moving delicate items like all kinds of pianos which can be extremely cumbersome to move.
What do piano movers cost?
The truth is, piano moving is expensive and sometimes costs even more than the rest of the household items you are moving. Wondering why? Well, here’s a breakdown of why it costs that much:
1. Pianos are heavy
Large pianos can weigh between 200kgs and 500kgs because they are made from heavy materials such as metal wires, dense wood, and cast iron plates. For this reason, moving them ends up being a bit costly.
Besides, anything dense and heavy will always cost more to move. Pianos such as grand pianos and upright pianos need more movers, more gas, and special equipment just to move them.
Additionally, pianos can cause serious bodily harm to inexperienced movers if handled or lifted incorrectly. It’s, therefore, best to hire experienced piano movers like us to prevent back problems in the future.
2. Piano moving is specialized
Not all movers can move pianos because they require a particular type of skill set. For example, because of their weight, pianos can damage floors during moving if the movers do not have the experience and the right equipment.
At Nellions, our team of piano movers at Nellions know how to wrap pianos for moving, load them into moving trucks, carefully unload them, and finally help you set up in your new place of residence.
3. Before moving your piano, it needs to be insured
Moving pianos is not like moving any other household item in your house. Some pianos cost a fortune – probably even more than their owner’s cars. Needless to say, if damaged, repairing them is pretty expensive.
That is why when conducting such a move, we always make sure that our insurance is up to date against any damages or theft. Taking up such a liability is not very cheap, and that is why moving pianos cost a lot more.
4. Pianos have sentimental value
Pianos are often very sentimental, and careful handling is essential since the owner is always present most of the time during the removal.
