Uprights, baby grands, and concert grands need the right crew. Our San Antonio piano movers use padded boards, straps, and a plan for every step, doorway, and turn in your home.
Careful Piano Moves
A piano can weigh 300 to over 1,000 pounds, and most of that weight sits in a small, fragile frame. A wrong turn can crack the soundboard or scratch the finish, and hurt someone too.
Our crew measures your path first, pads the whole piano, and straps it to a piano board. Grands are carefully taken apart, moved in pieces, and put back together at your new home.
Our Services
Heavy, delicate, or awkward, we have moved it.
Pricing
Piano moves use our San Antonio hourly rate card with a two hour minimum: three movers at $210 an hour, four at $300, and five at $368. The ranges below show what each piano type usually costs for a local move.
| Piano type | Crew | Typical hours | Local price |

| Baby grand, 5–6 ft | 3–4 movers | 2–3 | $420 – $900 |
| Grand, 6–7 ft | 4 movers | 2–4 | $600 – $1,200 |
| Concert grand or stairs | 4–5 movers | 3–5 | $900 – $1,840 |
Prices are for local San Antonio moves. Piano moves as part of a full home move are added to that quote. A 2.5% fee applies to final balances paid by card.
