How to Safely Move a Piano in Ottawa: Local Tips from Professional Movers

Moving a piano is no ordinary job, it’s a delicate, heavy, and often sentimental instrument. At over 1,000 lbs with thousands of fragile parts, a piano requires more than strength; it requires expertise. That’s where we come in. From homes to high-rises, our team handles each move with precision, protecting both the instrument and the property. Here’s how we make piano moving safe and stress-free in Ottawa.

Residential Moving

We know how tricky Ottawa homes can be with narrow doorways, staircases, and tight halls. That’s why we use padded dollies, blankets, and protective floor coverings to move your piano without damage. Our goal is simple: your piano arrives safe, and your home stays spotless.

Commercial/Office Moving

When businesses, schools, or venues need a piano moved, we coordinate everything from insurance requirements to elevator scheduling. We move quietly, safely, and efficiently, so your operations continue without disruption.

Condo and Apartment Moving

High-rise moves mean elevators, tight corners, and strict condo rules. We handle it all. If needed, we disassemble parts of the piano, use protective padding for hallways, and work with property managers to ensure a smooth move from start to finish.

Same-Day Moving

Sometimes moves can’t wait. That’s why we offer same-day piano moving in Ottawa. Even on short notice, our crew arrives with the right equipment, secures your piano, and ensures safety urgency never means cutting corners.

Packing & Full-Service Packing

We don’t just move your piano; we protect it. From thick blankets and foam padding to securing straps, we make sure your piano stays cushioned during transport. And if you want full-service packing, we handle everything from your piano bench to sheet music so you don’t lift a finger.

Furniture Disassembly & Reassembly

Grand pianos often require careful disassembly. We remove legs, pedals, and lids when needed, pack them safely, and reassemble everything at your new location. Your piano isn’t just delivered. it’s set up and ready to play.

Senior & Student Moving Services

For seniors, we provide extra support and patience, treating heirloom pianos with the respect they deserve. For students, we offer affordable piano moving so that music majors and young pianists can relocate without risking injury or damage.

Antique & Heirloom Moving

Antique pianos require special care. We use extra padding, custom boards, and even climate-controlled transport when necessary to protect delicate finishes and fragile parts. We know these instruments aren’t just pianos, they’re memories.

Urgent/Emergency Moving

Flood, renovation, or sudden relocation? Our emergency team can respond quickly, day or night, to move your piano safely out of harm’s way. Fast, careful, and reliable, we make sure your piano is secure even when life gets unpredictable.
