What we move
We're equipped for upright and vertical pianos. Describe your instrument when you ask for a quote — we'll confirm we can handle it, and tell you honestly if a specialty piano is beyond our scope.
Spinets, consoles, studios and full uprights — the pianos in most Montreal homes, wrapped, strapped and moved with a piano-capable dolly.
Walk-up stairs, spiral staircases, narrow doorways and tight turns where the path matters as much as the lift — planned and measured before the day.
Moving an upright between apartments, condos or towers, with the building's elevator, loading window and shared hallways planned into the route.
Piano know-how
In Montreal, moving a piano is about the path as much as the lift. We handle walk-ups and interior stairs, spiral and exterior staircases, narrow doors and hallways, tight turns and condo elevators. We check parking and carry distance, protect floors, walls and doorways, and plan the full route before the instrument leaves its spot.

Ready when you are
Start with two addresses, then adjust the calculator for crew size, stairs, packing and specialty items.
The process
Share the piano type, the stairs or floors at both ends, elevator or parking access and your date.
We measure doorways, turns and stair width and set the crew, dolly and protection the move needs.
The piano is padded and strapped, floors and doorways are protected, and it's loaded with controlled lifting.
Tied down for the drive, then carried to the room you want and set in place at the destination.
Pricing
A piano move is priced on the real work involved, not a flat guess. What you pay depends on the piano's type and size, stairs and floors, access at pickup and delivery, carry distance, the distance between addresses, the crew and time required, and any difficult turns or doorways. You'll see a clear estimate before you book.

FAQ
We're equipped for upright and vertical pianos. Describe your instrument when you request a quote and we'll confirm we can handle it — and tell you honestly if a specialty piano is beyond our scope.
Often yes, once we measure the staircase, width and turns. If the access is too tight to do it safely, we'll tell you before booking rather than on moving day.
We wrap the instrument in heavy blankets and padding, secure it with straps on a piano-capable dolly, and protect the floors and doorways along the planned route before tying it down in the truck.
Pricing reflects the real work: the piano's type and size, stairs and floors, access at pickup and delivery, carry distance, the distance between addresses, and the crew and time required. You'll see a clear estimate before you book.
Close and secure the lid and keyboard cover, and clear anything sitting on top or in the path. We handle the padding, wrapping and lifting once we arrive.
Yes. We plan the move around walk-up stairs or the building's elevator, narrow doors and tight turns, and shared hallways at both ends so the instrument and the building come through safely.
Tell us the piano type, the number of stairs or floors at both addresses, elevator or parking access, and your preferred date. The more detail on access, the more accurate the estimate.
No — we move the instrument safely, but we don't tune it. Tuning is best done by a piano technician a couple of weeks after the piano has settled into its new space.
