About Our Piano Moving
A piano is not just heavy furniture. It is a precision instrument with thousands of internal parts, a delicate wooden structure, and significant monetary and sentimental value. Moving a piano incorrectly — tipping it at the wrong angle, setting it down too hard, failing to protect the keyboard lid or legs — can cause damage that ranges from cosmetic to catastrophic.
The weight alone is not the issue. Upright pianos can weigh several hundred pounds, and grand pianos significantly more. But weight is something strong people can manage. The real challenge is the geometry: how the piano navigates staircases, doorframes, and tight corners without stressing its frame or damaging its finish. These problems require knowledge and equipment, not just muscle.
John Frank Moving Company approaches piano moving with specialized dollies designed for the instrument, padded wrapping that protects the finish and keyboard, and crews that understand the structural vulnerabilities specific to upright and grand piano configurations.

How It Works
ProcessA straightforward process built around your schedule and needs
Tell Us About Your Move
Fill out our quick online form or give us a call. Share the basics — where you are, where you are going, and what you need moved. There is no obligation and no pressure. Our team reviews every request personally to make sure we understand the full scope before quoting.
Receive Your Custom Quote
Within hours, your dedicated move coordinator sends a detailed, transparent estimate covering labor, materials, and timeline. Every line item is explained. If anything changes between the quote and moving day, we adjust and communicate before proceeding — never after.
Confirm and Prepare
Once you approve the plan, we lock in your preferred date and assign your crew. You receive a preparation checklist tailored to your move type, along with your crew lead contact info. Any special instructions — fragile items, access codes, parking permits — are noted and shared with the team.
Moving Day — Done Right
Your licensed, insured crew arrives on time in a clean, fully equipped truck. They protect floors and doorframes, wrap every item, and load strategically for safe transport. At the destination, everything is placed exactly where you want it. We do a final walkthrough together before closing out.
