Piano Removal
in Carol Stream
We take the whole piano off your hands, the lifting and the stairs included. Serving Carol Stream from our shop in Plainfield.
Let our crew carry the piano out
People are always surprised by what a piano weighs, because an ordinary upright sits between 300 and 500 pounds and a grand goes well beyond that. The heavy part is the iron harp and strings bolted inside the case, and all that mass makes the piano want to tip rather than roll. Trying to walk one down a flight of stairs with a couple of friends is how floors get gouged and backs get hurt. We handle it with real dollies, straps, and padding, and we do every bit of the lifting ourselves.
Carol Stream sits in the middle of DuPage off North Avenue and Gary Avenue, and we reach it via heading up I-355 and cutting west, so a same-day slot is often there when the schedule allows. The village only collects bulk items by appointment and charges by the piece once something passes about 50 pounds, so a piano is not a curbside option at all. We skip the back and forth and quote the whole removal from a photo you send.
Pianos we remove in Carol Stream
Upright pianos
The weight of an upright hides in its cast-iron plate, so we never tip one on a dolly without strapping it down first.
Studio and console models
Full-height studio uprights stand tall and lean easily, and we keep two sets of hands on them through every doorway.
Baby grand pianos
Legs, pedal lyre, and lid come off first, then the case rides out flat on a padded skid so the shape stays supported.
Grand pianos
We separate a grand into its case and frame and move each part on its own, which keeps the load steady on the stairs.
Player pianos
The player mechanism adds dozens of pounds to an already heavy upright, so we size the lift up before anyone grabs a corner.
Organs and keyboards
Heavy console organs, stage keyboards, benches, and music stands leave in the same load as the piano.
The removal, step by step
Start by texting a photo of the piano and the way out, and we send back a price covering the entire job. When we arrive, we lay down protection, secure the piano to a dolly, and ease it through the doorways and down the steps. Tight turns get the piano broken apart on the spot so nothing is forced against a wall. You pay the number we quoted, by the load, and nothing is added once we are done.
- Quoted flat by the load, not by the hour
- Straps and padded dollies standard
- Walls, door frames, and stairs covered
- We take the piano apart when needed
- All lifting handled by our crew
- Usable pianos donated, metal recycled

What Customers Are Saying
"Highly recommend On It Junk Removal. They showed up right on time, worked quickly, and handled everything with care. Communication was easy from start to finish, and the pricing was very reasonable."

Questions
The price depends on the piano and the path out, and we lock it in before we lift anything. Send a photo to (815) 240-0735 and we will quote it fast.
No. Our crew does all the lifting and carrying, so you just point us to the piano and stay clear of the stairs.
Yes. We take a grand down to its case and frame, pad everything, and carry each part out separately.

If it can still be played we try to pass it on, and anything beyond saving is scrapped for metal and recycled.
