Marble floors and heavy instruments are a bad combination unless the crew plans for both before the truck shows up. We move uprights, grands, and organs across the region with documented liability coverage and floor protection set down before a single leg moves. Homeowners report that quotes increase significantly when stairs are involved, so we price the access, not just the distance. If you need a piano moved on short notice, call and we will tell you honestly what the job takes.
A piano move is a sequence, not a lift.
Here is how we run a marble-floor job from the first phone call to the last inch of placement.
We lay protection across the full route before the piano moves, including thresholds, stair nosings, and elevator floors.
Marble scratches are expensive to repair, so the goal is that nothing hard ever touches the finish.
Uprights get strapped, blanketed, and dollied; grands get their legs and pedals handled separately and reassembled on site.
Both are moved by crews who do this daily, not by general furniture movers.
Upper-floor carries and narrow stairwells are where pianos get damaged and where quotes increase significantly, because stairs are involved and the carry itself changes.
When a piano cannot clear a turn or a window, we bring in crane or rigging equipment rather than forcing it.
I called on a Saturday night because we had to be out of the house by Monday, and someone actually picked up and talked me through the whole thing.
The crew arrived the next morning and had the upright loaded before lunch.
I did not expect that kind of response on a weekend.
What I noticed was that they put padding down on the marble in layers, not just a single blanket, and they taped the seams so nothing slid.
The piano came off the dolly exactly where it started.
That level of care told me they had done this before.
My neighbor was moving her mother’s grand out of a rowhouse and asked who we used.
I sent her their number the same day.
The part that sold me was that they walked through the coverage with me before anything was touched.
Halfway through the carry we realized the piano would not clear the stair turn, and I thought the whole day was lost.
The crew stopped, talked it through, and brought in the equipment to lift it out instead of forcing it.
Nobody panicked and nothing got scratched.
We are not a general moving company that takes pianos on the side.
Every job on this page is a piano job, which is why we talk about floor protection, coverage, and access before we talk about price.

CALL (267) 367-6610We have spent 15 years moving pianos, and marble floors are one of the few surfaces that will not forgive a careless dolly.
Every job starts with a look at the path: thresholds, stair turns, elevator doors, and the finish under the instrument.
Homeowners often describe the same worry we hear on every marble-floor move, which is that a scratch will cost more to fix than the move itself.
We put down protection first, then rig the piano, so the floor and the instrument are both accounted for.
If you want to see how we handle tighter access situations, see how we handle crane and roof access jobs before you decide.
We are fully insured, and we will show you the paperwork rather than just say the word. If that sounds like the situation, piano moving is the closer fit.
