A piano isn’t furniture, and it doesn’t move like it. Uprights run 300 to 500 pounds, and a baby grand can top 600, with the weight sitting all wrong for a casual lift. Our crew moves pianos across Odessa on a proper board with rated straps and pads, from parlor uprights to console spinets to baby grands.
What’s included
Every piano move brings the right gear and enough hands for the weight.
- Piano board, straps, and skid pads rated for the load
- A four-mover lift for grands and stair carries
- Leg and lyre removal on baby grands, then reset
- Blanket-wrap over the case and keybed
- Corner and rail padding on every staircase
How the day goes
A single-piano move is usually an hour or two, measured twice and rushed never.
- Measure first. Wade checks doorways, turns, and any half-flight of stairs.
- Prep the case. Grands lose legs and pedals; uprights get wrapped whole.
- Board and strap. The piano is eased onto the board and secured.
- Controlled carry. The crew takes stairs one riser at a time.
- Set and level. Legs go back on and the piano lands where you want it.
What it costs
Pianos price as a flat job, since the work is about skill and gear, not clock time.
Half-flights and tight turns
Older Odessa homes near UTPB and the brick streets off Maxwell have split entries and narrow turns that trip up a rushed crew.
Wade measured the turn twice, then the crew walked our baby grand down a half-flight without a bump. That’s why we ask.
