It’s often surprising how much it costs to move a piano from one location to another. This can be attributed to several different factors.

Comparison of different piano moving companies

When looking for a professional mover to transport your piano, it is important to compare the costs of different piano moving companies. Prices can vary significantly, so it’s a good idea to request estimates and quotes from multiple companies before making a decision.

Time frame is another factor to consider when selecting a piano moving company. Some companies can provide an estimate of how long the move will take, while others can give a more precise time frame. It is important to ask questions and understand the expected time frame before committing to a piano mover.

General How-To Information: Many people don’t realize the cost and effort involved in moving a piano. It is important to do your research and find a professional piano mover who can get the job done safely and efficiently. A professional piano mover will be able to provide an accurate estimate of the cost and duration of the move.

Here are some criteria that can influence the price of moving a piano in Montreal:

✓ Distance
✓ The type of piano: upright piano or grand piano
✓ The size of the piano
✓ The floor to go up or down
✓ The value

Piano moving costs vary depending on factors such as distance, number of floors involved, complexity, and the type of piano in question. Although it may seem tempting to enlist the help of family or friends to save yourself additional costs, it is often wiser to hire professionals who specialize in piano moving to ensure the safety of the instrument while throughout the process. By understanding the costs involved in moving a piano , you will be able to make informed decisions and ensure that your instrument is in the hands of people who are qualified to do so.

Distance: It is important to keep in mind that the distance between the two addresses is a factor to consider when determining the total cost of piano moving. Any additional distance between the two addresses will increase the final price because it not only involves more time, but also more risk for the movers. It is therefore crucial to plan carefully and understand how the distance between your addresses will affect the price of your piano moving.
The type of piano: Choosing between an upright piano and a grand piano can significantly affect the cost of moving your piano. Grand pianos, especially larger ones, are often more expensive to move because they require more delicate handling and a larger team of movers. However, the upright piano is also not easy to transport as it is also heavy and bulky.
The size of the piano: the size of the piano being one of the most important. Generally, the larger the piano, the higher the price will be to move it due to the amount of work required to move it safely. It is therefore important to consider the size of your piano when planning your move and find a moving company that can meet your specific needs.
The floor to go up or down: Additionally, if there is a problem with stairs or elevators between floors, this can potentially increase costs. Indeed, the higher the floor, the lower the price moving cost will be high. This is because transporting the piano upstairs may be more complicated and require more work and time. It is therefore important to have a clear idea of your situation so that you can speak with the moving company and obtain an accurate quote.
Value: The most valuable and rare pianos often require specialized transportation, with additional packaging and protective equipment to ensure their safety during transport. When choosing a carrier for your piano, remember to consider its value, as this can significantly affect the cost of shipping.

Understanding these criteria can therefore help you make a better decision on how to move your piano to Montreal safely and at a lower cost.

Some carriers offer reasonable starting rates, but may apply additional fees for each walk. To avoid unpleasant surprises, it is important to request a detailed quote before signing a contract.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much does it cost to move a piano in Montreal?

The cost of moving a piano in Montreal can vary depending on the size and weight of the piano, the distance to be traveled and the complexity of the move. In general, the cost of moving a piano in Montreal varies between $300 and $700.

How to transport an upright piano?

Piano moving is a specialty and this rather complicated job must be done by specialists, but if you decide to do it with friends, we suggest you consult our What to Know page where we describe this process in detail.

How to calculate the price of moving a piano using a crane?

Moving a piano using cranes can be quite expensive. So, to move a piano using a crane you will have to pay between $1000 and $1400 to move it, depending on your location and other factors that influence its price, such as whether or not you need to obtain special permissions (temporary parking permits), as well as the distance from your home. This amount includes transport and labor.

Am I dealing with a specialized company?

If you are shopping around for the price of a piano moving, when you contact several companies sometimes you are a little confused by the different prices you get from one company to another. The same thing happens if you shop around for a piano storage and moving service .

To clarify the situation a little, first of all, we confirm that in Montreal, on the North Shore and South Shore of Montreal there are only 4-5 registered companies that offer the piano moving service and transport of various heavy objects regardless of the floor, weight of the piano or type of piano and destination.

The rest you find on Google calling themselves “piano movers” most of the time are regular moving companies. So, they have nothing in common with pianos, but they deal with one of these 4-5 specialized companies…They take care of the order, but the work is done by a specialist who gives them a small commission to the company that gave them the order.

Another scenario, but unfortunately worse, is that upon arriving in the winter period, many of the regular moving companies try to diversify their services to survive in the winter period and try to send untrained movers to low price, hoping “they will move it!!!”

where immediately after their visit we are contacted by the customer who is already ready to pay the normal price of a piano transport, but unfortunately, sometimes it is a little late:
– the customer and the seller wasted half a day waiting for qualified movers
– the service was stopped, but still, they (the said piano movers) managed to damage the piano, walls or steps.

So, at this level, we strongly advise before hiring a piano moving company , to take 5 minutes and consult their site completely…if they move pianos you must at least see photos with movers in action .

And the third scenario concerns insurance in the event of damage. So, there are some companies of these 4-5 specialized which offer you a competitive rate of 50-80$ less than on the market, but in case of damage, if the customer claims the damage, he is obliged to pay a deductible of $250…

This means if the damage is less than $250 the customer cannot claim anything – the customer claims and the customer pays the damage. At this level it is also up to you to judge – pay $50 less, but in the event damage – repair them by your average or pay a $250 deductible – or pay $50 more and be 100% insured?!

Every week we are contacted by customers who are a little last minute – they hired “cheap” piano movers and when they came on site they immediately got back in their truck – they had convulsions as soon as they saw an old piano at full height or the spiral staircase, movers who thought of lifting an 850 lb photocopier with straps, not fully equipped movers who thought of setting up a safe of +/- 600lb from ground floor to 1st floor, etc.

In Montreal, there is everything: companies and “experts” in piano moving, movers who want to become piano movers and people on social assistance who want to make a little extra income.

So, at this level, the choice is yours and when you plan to buy or move a piano you must reserve a real amount for this operation and not look for piano movers for $200!!!

If you shop around with regular moving companies, the transport (example) of 2 appliances will cost you approximately $220 before taxes, so let’s be realistic – moving a piano cannot cost the same amount as moving a 2 appliances (!)… We always talk about a PROFESSIONAL service!!!
