Piano and Organ Removal




Top Shelf Piano and Organ Removal Services
Top Shelf Piano and Organ Removal for Homes and Businesses
Fun fact #1: While pianos have around 230 strings inside, the average organ doesn’t have a single string! Instead, organs use pressurized air to create sound through pipes or reeds.
Fun fact #2: Pianos range from 400 to 1,200 pounds for uprights and grands. Organs weigh between 200 and 1,000 pounds for electric and pipe versions.
Obvious fact: Pianos and organs are really hard to move around. Whether it’s a piano collecting dust in the living room or a massive organ taking up half the basement, moving them is a job best left to the pros. With the right expertise and equipment, we can safely transport these large, unwieldy instruments without putting your walls—or your back—at risk. Have an old piano or organ you need gone? Let us handle the heavy lifting!

Full-Service Piano Removal
No matter where your piano is in the house—basement, second floor, or tucked away in a tight corner—we can remove it safely. Our team has the experience, tools, and techniques to maneuver even the heaviest pianos through tricky spaces without damaging your home. From staircases to narrow doorways, we’ve seen it all and we know how to get it done.


Specialized Equipment and Techniques
Sometimes, the easiest way to remove a piano is also the most unconventional. If we can’t fit the piano through your door safely, or if there are too many stairs to navigate, we’ve got the solution: professional disassembly (i.e. chop it up). With specialized saws and tools, we can break down pianos into manageable pieces, ensuring safe removal for us and the house!
Safe and Damage-Free Removal
Pianos and organs are not just heavy—they’re awkward, delicate, and can easily damage your home if not handled correctly. Our team specializes in navigating these challenges. We can use pads, tarps, floor protection, and whatever else is needed to protect your walls and floors. Even in the tightest spots, we make sure the removal process leaves your home no worse for the wear.
