Piano Mover Monmouth County - Why Hire a Professional Piano Mover?

With pianos weighing as much as 1,200 pounds, moving a piano on your own is a recipe for disaster. Not only are they heavy, uneven and cumbersome to handle, it’s tough to find enough people willing to help you AND get a truck that can handle such a big musical instrument. Is it worth the risk to your health, safety and time? We think not. That’s why you need a professional piano mover. Why?

Avoiding Damage to the Piano and Injury to Yourself

This is perhaps the main reason why you would need to hire a professional for a move of this magnitude. Unlike a couch that can easily be picked up on either end and moved, a piano has many oddly shaped parts, legs sticking out, and keys that could snap. Navigating a piano through doorways and stairwells is an impossible situation for everything but the smallest of uprights. You could do some real damage if you don’t know what you’re doing. Add to that the very real possibility that you could damage your home in the process, denting walls, floors and ceilings in your attempt to get the piano out.

You don’t want to spend your weekend in the ER because you threw your back out or twisted your neck. Not only is that a huge waste of time, you’ll be hit with costly medical bills to pay off later. In addition, back injuries can be a lifelong affliction that you have to deal with not just now but in the future as well.

Piano Mover Monmouth County - A professional team has the proper equipment and safety devices to ensure a move of this kind goes smoothly and safely with no collateral damage.

Piano Mover Monmouth County - Saving $$$

While you may assume you’re saving money by attempting to move the piano yourself with some friends, you may want to think again. The costs of your hospital bills if you injure yourself, as well as the cost to your surroundings and the piano itself, can be prohibitive when you think about the total price tag of such an endeavor. It costs a lot to repair anything from the piano legs to the pins and strings, not to mention gouges to the surface. Cut your losses now and hire a pro to get the job done right.

Letting the Pros Use Their Equipment

Why contend with the hassle of coordinating your own team of friends (none of whom actually want to help you with this task) as well as wrangle a truck big enough to handle the weight and size of your piano when you can hire someone else to do it? Let’s say you do manage to get the piano into the truck on your own. Can you be assured of a proper packing job that won’t send your piano flying if you hit a pot hole? A professional team has the right truck, equipment, padding and other safety features to do it right.
