Piano Moving in Richmond

Pianos aren't furniture. They're precision instruments — 250 to over 1000 pounds, with hundreds of moving parts. moving one safely takes training, equipment, and experience that some movers don't have. Two Small Men With Big Hearts has moved pianos in Richmond since 1981 — longer than most piano specialists — from apartment uprights in Brighouse towers to grands headed for recital halls.

Pianos We Move in Richmond

• Uprights — spinet (36–40″), console (40–44″), studio (43–47″), and professional uprights (48–52″)

• Grands — baby (~5′), medium and living-room (5′5″–6′1″), parlour (6′2″–6′9″), and concert grands (7′+)

• Digital and electric pianos, organs, and keyboard instruments

• Antique and heirloom pianos

The type and size of your piano decide how many movers and what equipment the job needs — it's the first thing we ask about.

What Affects the Cost of Your Piano Move

• Stairs — the biggest factor: the number of steps, whether the staircase turns, and the surface (carpet, hardwood, concrete) all change the technique and crew size.

• Piano type and size — a spinet is a very different job.

• Doorways and tight turns — whether the piano has to be tilted or a door removed to clear the entry.

• Terrain and access — grass, gravel, or uneven ground between the truck and the door, and elevator versus stairs in condos.

• Distance — a cross-town Richmond move versus a long-distance relocation.

Our Piano-Moving Process

1. Assessment — we review your piano, the path at both ends, stairs, doorways, and elevator access.

2. Protection — we secure the lid, keys, and pedals, then wrap the piano in quilted moving blankets and padding.

3. Lifting and rolling — we use piano boards and skids, four-wheel dollies, and proper team-lift technique.

4. Transport — the piano is secured inside a fully enclosed truck.

5. Placement — we position it exactly where you want it in the new room.

Stairs, Elevators & Tight Access in Richmond

• Condos — in the high-rises, we book the freight elevator, carry the strata's certificate of insurance, and work within the building's loading-bay window.

• Detached Homes — heritage and detached homes often mean narrow lanes, exterior steps, and tight interior turns; flat terrain keeps the approach level, which makes for safer dolly work than a hillside move.
