Piano movers in Montreal
Upright, grand, square, player pianos and harmoniums. Narrow stairs, basements, walk-ups without elevators or through the balcony: your piano and your home are protected from start to finish.
How we move your piano
Your piano and your home are protected at every step, from the living room to the truck.
We protect your home
We measure the staircase if it's narrow, then cover indoor and outdoor steps and floors with thick rubber runners. Summer or winter, your home stays clean and intact.
We inspect and photograph
We photograph your piano before departure to document its condition. We empty the water tank of the humidity control system (Dampp-Chaser) and protect the silent system, if there is one.
We wrap it with care
Upright piano: plastic wrap, then thick blankets. Grand piano: we protect the music stand, wrap the whole piano, remove the legs and place it on a thick carpeted piano board.
Showtime!
Protected on all sides, your piano travels in a temperature and humidity controlled truck to its new home.
Which piano do you have?
Find your model and mention it in your request. For an upright, measure the height from the floor to the top of the lid. For a grand, measure the length from the front of the keyboard to the end of the tail.
