Piano Removal
in Elmhurst
Moving a piano is a specialty, not a favor you ask friends. We cover Elmhurst with the crew and the gear it actually takes.
A specialty job, handled by people who do it
There is a reason piano moving is its own trade. The weight is enormous for the size, it sits off balance, and the cases are easy to damage and heavy enough to injure. Borrowed muscle and a hand truck is how floors get wrecked and people get hurt. We come with proper straps, skids and dollies and a crew that moves pianos as part of the regular work.
Elmhurst's curbside program uses a sticker for furniture by weight and sends appliances to a scheduled pickup, but a piano is in a class the sticker system never covers. A DuPage and Cook town framed by I-290, I-294 and Route 83, Elmhurst is a straightforward run for us. Call early and same-day pickup is often open.
What we take
Upright pianos
The standard upright. We strap it to a dolly and move it out along a padded route.
Baby grand and grand pianos
Legs, lyre and lid come off, the body rides low on a skid, and the parts follow it out.
Console pianos
Lower cabinet, serious weight. We handle the lift and the doorway turns.
Spinet and player pianos
Compact or mechanism-heavy, both are padded and planned before the carry.
Organs
Console organs and old reed organs break down where it helps and leave in pieces.
Tight exits
Narrow halls, basement stairs and skinny doors are built into our plan before we lift.
How we work
Send a photo and tell us the piano type, the floor, and the stairs or doorways involved. We quote the whole job at a flat price and keep it. The crew pads the route, straps the piano onto dollies, and carries it out protecting your floors and walls. Pianos that still play we try to donate and the rest we recycle what we can.
