An upright piano and a gun safe move the same way, mechanically speaking: neither one comes out of a house because four people are willing to lift it, they come out because someone brought a piano board, a ramp, and the right rigging straps for the specific stairs and doorway involved. Trey Bonnet has handled most of Honest Moving’s piano and heavy-item jobs since he came on as crew chief in 2017, and he assesses stairs, doorway width, and turns during the estimate rather than discovering a problem on move day. Pricing is flat, not hourly: $275 for an upright, $425 for a baby grand or full grand, and $225-$350 for gun safes and other single heavy items depending on weight. The job runs stand-alone or folded into a full residential move on the same date.
What’s Included
- Piano board, ramp, and rigging straps on every job
- Flat pricing quoted after a stairs-and-doorway assessment
- Same equipment used for gun safes and other heavy single items
- Crew chief oversight on every rigging job
- Available stand-alone or bundled with a residential move
- No hourly clock running during rigging
What Does It Cost?
Two ways to go: $129/hr starting with a two-mover crew, or a flat number by home size starting around $1,600 if you’d rather know the total up front
Two movers run $129 an hour, three are $169, and four are $209, with the truck, blankets, and dollies included. Or take a flat price by bedroom count if you’d rather not watch the clock. Addresses inside the historic district get a smaller shuttle truck that can actually turn onto those one-way blocks, at no extra charge. Basic released-value coverage comes with every move, and Cordell can explain the full-value upgrade while he prices your job.
