Pianos are one of the heaviest single items most homes ever contain — an upright can weigh 300-500 pounds, and a full-size grand piano can run well over 500. That weight is why piano removal is priced differently than a couch or dresser.
Is it worth selling or donating first?
If the piano is in playable condition, it's worth checking whether a school, church, or community center wants it before assuming it needs to be hauled out. Pianos in poor condition — water damage, broken action, decades of disuse — usually aren't practical to donate.
Why piano removal takes more than two people
Beyond the raw weight, pianos are awkward to maneuver through doorways and stairs without the right equipment. This isn't a job to attempt without experience — it's how walls, floors, and backs get damaged.
What we do
We handle the move safely, protecting your floors and doorways along the way, and haul the piano out for disposal. Call us and let us know if there are stairs involved so we come prepared.
