Piano Removal
in Palatine
A piano looks like furniture and moves like machinery, so we bring the right crew for it. Serving Palatine.
The heavy, awkward part is on us
A piano looks like furniture and weighs like machinery, with an everyday upright landing between 300 and 500 pounds and a grand reaching past that. The iron plate and strings hold the bulk of it, set high in the case so the piano leans and lurches when it is not strapped and dollied correctly. A staircase only makes that more dangerous for a couple of untrained hands. Our crew comes with the gear to keep it steady and takes on all of the lifting.
Palatine sits along Route 53 and Dundee Road near Deer Grove Forest Preserve and the Metra line downtown, and we run up I-355 to Route 53, so same-day often works when the schedule allows. Curbside here makes you schedule anything over 50 pounds or 4 feet, and a piano is well past both marks, so the route is no real option. Send a photo and we will quote the full removal before we load up.
Pianos we remove in Palatine
Upright pianos
We strap the upright to the dolly first, because the iron inside makes it tip forward the moment it leans.
Spinet and console pianos
The shorter uprights still weigh a few hundred pounds, and we strap and pad them like any full-size piano.
Baby grand pianos
Off come the legs and lyre, then the case travels out flat on a padded board, supported all the way.
Grand pianos
We split a grand into case and frame and move the heavy piece alone for a steady trip down the stairs.
Player pianos
The player mechanism and solid wood push these past the usual upright, so we map the lift before we start.
Organs, keyboards, and benches
Console organs, weighted keyboards, benches, and stools all go out in a single trip.
How the removal works
Text a photo of the piano and the route out, and we give you one number for the whole job. On the day we protect the floors and corners, strap the piano down, and ease it through the doors and down the stairs under control. A tight landing gets the piano taken apart rather than forced through. The price holds as quoted, by the load, with nothing added at the end.
