Hello! Thank you for taking the time to visit Movers.com. I will be happy to assist you with your question.

Since you already will have everything packed up and transported to your new home, you'll just need to decide on who to hire to help you unload and move your piano.

Hiring moving labor 

Any local moving company or company that specializes in moving antiques and delicate items in  Frisco should be able to assist you in moving the piano. Typically, most services of this nature will charge you between $80-$120 per hour for moving labor depending on the pricing in your area.

The moving company you hire will bring along all of the necessary items and moving supplies, such as blankets, shrink wrap and dollies. These items will be essential to moving your piano, and they will play a big role in the move (especially if you have large furniture items besides the piano that you would need protected during the unload).

If you don't want to hire a special moving company just for your piano, you can get instant quotes on moving labor services from our extensive network of trained professionals for your job. Just fill out the zip code of your destination and moving date, and get price quotes on the moving labor you need.

Preparing your piano for the move

If your piano is very expensive, you may also want to consider purchasing some moving insurance for it for the day you are planning on moving it.

Preparing your piano for the move is also an important part of the process, and you want to make sure that you've wrapped it properly to avoid the piano being damaged during the move. If you want to learn more about how to pack your piano to prepare it to be moved, we have a helpful video on how movers pack pianos.
