Piano & Heavy Item Movers in Victoria, BC

Pianos

Uprights and grand pianos need padding, a piano board and experienced handlers. Grands are usually partly disassembled. Ask the mover how many pianos they've moved.

Safes and gym equipment

Heavy safes, treadmills and weight machines may need disassembly or special dollies, and floors may need protection.

Hot tubs

Hot tubs often need to be drained, disconnected by an electrician and moved on their side through gates or over fences.

Stairs and slopes

Steep driveways, rock steps and narrow stairs are common in parts of Victoria. Describe them clearly so the mover brings the right crew.

Measure first

Measure large items and the doorways, hallways and stairs they need to pass through.

Art and antiques

Valuable or delicate pieces may need custom crating and extra insurance.

After the move

Pianos usually need tuning after a move once they've settled into the new room.

Get a quote

Tell the mover the item, its size and the access at both ends. Send a request and a moving company will get in touch.

Insurance for valuables

Tell the mover about high-value items in advance and ask about added coverage.

Planning the route

Measure the path from the room to the truck and remove doors or railings if needed. Clear the route of rugs and obstacles before the crew arrives.

Appliances

Fridges, washers and dryers need to be disconnected and secured. Water lines and gas connections should be handled by a qualified person.

Floors and walls

Heavy items can scratch floors and dent walls. Ask the crew to use floor protection and corner guards on the route.
