Common questions
Piano moving questions
How much does it usually cost to move a piano?
For a local move in Canada, roughly $250 to $800 for an upright and $400 to $1,500 for a baby grand or grand. Distance, stairs and the type of piano affect the price more than anything else.
How to move a piano cheaply
Choose a company with experience moving your type of piano, and ask what equipment they use and how they protect the instrument during transport. A damaged piano costs more than the move. Move on a weekday if you can, clear the route yourself, and measure the doorways before the crew arrives. If the piano isn’t worth moving, removal is often cheaper than relocation.

Are you supposed to tip a piano mover?
Tipping piano movers is optional. If the crew handles difficult stairs, tight access or bad weather carefully, a tip is one way to show appreciation.
Do pianos go out of tune when moved?
Usually, yes, but mostly because of the change in humidity and temperature in the new room, not the move itself. Let the piano settle for two to three weeks, then book a technician. Expect roughly $100 to $200 for a standard tuning.
How do I know a mover actually handles pianos?
Ask three questions. How many pianos do you move in a month? Does your insurance cover a piano specifically? Do you own a piano board and dolly, or rent them? A company that moves pianos regularly will answer all three easily.

We earn money through advertising and some affiliate links. We may also offer clearly labelled paid listings. Every company must meet our listing requirements, whether it pays for placement or not.
Every company in this directory says on its own website that it moves pianos. This site provides informational listings only and does not offer moving services.
