Pianos and Pool Tables Oh My...!

Dear Family, Friends, and Clients,

Hope the week is treating you well!

Whether you are moving from San Jose to San Jose, or from Palo Alto to Los Angeles, if you have an upright piano, baby grand piano, grand piano, or pool table, this is information you need to know about moving those items!

A lot of customers purchase pianos and pool tables from others on Craigslist and EBay, but they don't consider how they will get the piano or pool table to their new home. Sometimes the cost of moving the piano or pool table will exceed the cost of the piano or pool table, so buyer beware!

First of all, not all movers are professional Piano or Pool Table movers, so be sure you ask if they have experience with this! Fairprice Movers Inc. is very well versed in moving these items.

Movers that can also do Piano and Pool Table moves, can do them alone, or as part of a larger move.

Moving a piano can cost anywhere from $125 to $500 and up depending on the size of the piano.

If you live in a tricky parking place like San Francisco, there are also fees for long carries, as well as if the piano needs to be transported up or down any stairs or elevators, in some cases and fee for a piano crane is needed in order to get it to the level of your home or apartment/condo you need.

Smaller upright pianos can be moved in one piece, baby grands and grand pianos will have some disassembly and reassembly.

All pianos will be wrapped with quilted blankets, shrink wrap and tape to protect them during the move. Professional movers will use dollies, blankets, shrink wrap and tape, and either professional lift gates, or ramps to move your piano.

Most pianos will need retuning after being transported.

Make sure that the company you hire is a professional piano moving company that has the proper insurance to cover the piano should anything happen to it.

Pool tables are very similar to pianos, pool tables can take an hour or two to dismantle properly, and another hour or so to reassemble at your new home. They often cost about $200 to $600 to move, plus fees for long carries, and stairs just like a piano.

Fairprice Movers Inc. has a lot of experience moving both pianos and pool tables throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, and beyond.

So before you purchase one of these beauties, be prepared for the cost to move them!

Warmest Regards,

Nancy and Team
