Piano Moving Help From Local Crews

Pianos are heavy, top-heavy and easy to damage. Compare local companies that have piano moving enabled, and give them the details they need to plan crew and equipment.

Hire Moving Labor is a marketplace. Independent companies set their own prices and provide labor only — you arrange the truck or container.

Current provider rates on the marketplace

Across 19 currently bookable companies listed here, starting hourly crew rates range from $60 to $175. This is not a national market average or a quote for your move. Availability depends on your address, service, date and arrival window.

Rates are set by independent moving companies and can change. Hourly labor rates do not include Hire Moving Labor’s separate Service Processing Fee or applicable add-ons.

Upright, spinet or grand

Uprights and spinets usually move on a dolly in one piece. Grands often have legs and the lyre removed and travel on a piano board. Tell the company which you have.

Access details that matter

  • Flights of stairs and any turns on landings.
  • Doorway widths along the route.
  • Whether the piano goes into a truck you've rented.

After the move

Moving can affect tuning. Plan to have the piano checked by a technician once it has settled in the new room.
