We remove legs, wrap the body, and secure the harp to prevent damage during your grand piano move. Climate-controlled transport protects wood and strings during Chicago winters and humid summers. Stairways, tight doorways, and elevator moves are handled with dollies and ramps built for weight distribution.
Grand pianos need expert care because of their size and value. Concert grands, baby grands, and parlor grands all require the same careful approach. We pad every surface and use straps that won’t damage the finish.
Chicago’s vintage brownstones and walk-ups require special rigging for grand piano moves Downtown and in Lincoln Park. Narrow staircases and tight corners mean we measure doorways before move day. You get a team that knows how to protect your floors and walls while moving a 600 to 1,200 pound instrument.
We strap and pad uprights to prevent shifting during transport. Dolly systems let us navigate narrow hallways and corners without wall damage. Quick load and unload keeps your move on schedule.
Upright and spinet pianos are the most common type in Chicago homes. Families, teachers, and apartment dwellers all need reliable moving help. We handle studio pianos, console pianos, and full uprights the same way.
Many Chicago bungalows and two-flats have narrow staircases where upright pianos need angled maneuvering on the Northside and Southwest Side. We protect banisters and door frames while moving your piano safely. Mid-rise and high-rise buildings get the same attention to detail.
We handle all piano types with the same care as grands and uprights. Smaller instruments still get padded wrapping and secure tie-downs. Fast turnaround for straightforward moves in accessible locations.
Digital pianos, spinets, console pianos, and specialty instruments all need proper moving technique. Renters with compact pianos in studio or one-bedroom apartments benefit from our quick service. Businesses moving keyboards or electric pianos can schedule moves that fit their timeline.
High-rise buildings in the Loop and near Streeterville often require freight elevator scheduling. We coordinate timing with building management so you don’t have delays. Chicago’s older buildings and newer high-rises both present unique challenges we handle daily.
