Move Your Piano Without Risking Damage

Piano Moving Services in Los Angeles

Your piano weighs several hundred pounds, sits on delicate legs or casters, and requires controlled lifting to avoid internal damage or cracked wood. All in One Moving and Transports uses trained movers and protective materials to handle uprights, baby grands, and studio pianos in Los Angeles homes, apartments, and performance spaces.

Piano moving involves wrapping the instrument, securing the lid and pedals, and using lifting straps and dollies designed for weight distribution. The crew protects floors with padding, navigates stairs and narrow entryways, and positions the piano where you need it without scraping walls or door frames. This service works for local moves and long distance relocations.

Controlled Lifting and Floor Protection

The crew measures doorways and staircases before moving the piano to confirm clearance. In Los Angeles, that might mean removing a door temporarily or tilting the instrument at a specific angle to clear a narrow hallway. Movers use padded straps, a piano board, and at least two people for safe lifting and balance.

After the move, your piano sits level in its new location, the finish shows no new scratches, and the legs or pedals remain secure. Hardwood floors, tile, and carpet stay protected throughout the process. The crew adjusts placement if you need the piano repositioned within the room.

Grand pianos require leg removal before transport, and the crew reassembles them after delivery. Tuning is not included but can be scheduled separately after the move. The service does not cover internal repairs or restoration. Most piano moves within the same building or nearby address take two to three hours.

Questions About Stairs and Access

Homeowners and studio managers often ask about stairway limitations, floor weight capacity, and whether certain pianos can be moved safely.

What if my piano has to go up or down stairs?
The crew uses a piano board and lifting straps to carry the instrument on stairs. Narrow or steep staircases may require additional crew members.
How do you protect hardwood floors during the move?
Movers place padded mats and moving blankets on the floor before rolling the piano. The dolly wheels are covered to prevent scratches and dents.
Why do grand pianos need the legs removed?
Removing the legs lowers the center of gravity and makes the piano easier to maneuver through doorways and tight spaces. The legs are reattached at the destination.
Can you move a piano if the building has no elevator?
Yes. All in One Moving and Transports handles stairway moves regularly in Los Angeles apartments and older buildings. The crew assesses the staircase width and turn radius before starting.
What should I do to prepare the piano for moving?
Remove any items sitting on top of the piano, lock the keyboard cover if possible, and clear a path from the instrument to the exit. The crew handles the rest.
