Pianos are heavy, delicate, and expensive—they need specialists, not just regular movers. Whether you're moving an upright piano, a baby grand, or a full grand piano in Markham, MoveHomeFast provides careful, insured piano moving that protects your instrument and your property.
We understand that pianos require special handling: proper wrapping, piano dollies, careful navigation of stairs and tight spaces, and secure transportation. Our trained piano movers in Markham have the experience and equipment to move your piano safely, whether it's going upstairs, downstairs, or across the city.
Pianos aren't just heavy furniture—they're delicate instruments with thousands of moving parts, sensitive soundboards, and fragile finishes. Moving a piano incorrectly can cause permanent damage to keys, strings, the soundboard, or the finish. It can also damage your floors, walls, and doorways.
In Markham, pianos often need to navigate tight condo hallways, narrow staircases, basements, or upper floors. Older homes may have winding stairs or low ceilings. Modern condos might have elevator size restrictions or strict moving time windows. Our piano movers understand these local challenges and plan accordingly.
Regular movers might try to move a piano like any other piece of furniture, risking damage to both the piano and your property. Professional piano movers use specialized equipment, proper techniques, and years of experience to ensure your piano arrives safely and your home stays intact.
A careful, step-by-step approach to moving your piano safely.
We start by understanding your piano: type (upright, baby grand, grand), size, current floor location, and destination. We'll ask about stairs, elevators, tight turns, and access points.
For complex moves, we may do an on-site visit or ask detailed questions about elevators, stairs, door widths, and tight turns. This helps us plan the safest route and bring the right equipment.
We wrap the piano in moving blankets, protect the keys and pedals, and secure the lid. We use padding and straps to prevent scratches, dents, and movement during transport.
We use piano dollies, straps, and proper lifting techniques—never dragging or tilting incorrectly. Multiple movers work together to distribute weight safely and protect both the piano and your floors.
The piano is secured in a clean, equipped moving truck with padding and straps. We drive carefully, respecting both your piano and every turn along the way.
At your new location, we place the piano exactly where you want it, ensuring it's level and stable. We remove all wrapping materials and do a final check before leaving.
We move all types of pianos, from compact uprights to full grand pianos.
Standard upright pianos (also called vertical pianos) are the most common type. They're heavy (300–500 lbs) but more manageable than grands. We use piano dollies and proper lifting techniques to move them safely through doorways and up or down stairs.
Baby grand pianos (5–6 feet long) are elegant but require careful handling. We may need to remove the legs and lyre (pedal assembly) for tight spaces. Our team reassembles everything at the destination.
Full grand pianos (6–9 feet long) are the most challenging to move. We disassemble legs, lyre, and sometimes the lid for very tight spaces. Every piece is carefully wrapped and labeled for proper reassembly.
Digital pianos and keyboards with stands are lighter but still need careful handling. We protect screens, keys, and stands during transport. These moves are typically faster but still require professional care.
We understand Markham's unique challenges: parking rules, building regulations, condo elevator restrictions, older homes with narrow staircases, and modern buildings with strict moving policies. Our local knowledge helps us plan piano moves efficiently and avoid surprises.
