On top of everything else that comes with moving – packing boxes, hiring movers, renting a truck, etc. – you also have to specially prepare for the process of moving a piano. As experts in the [piano moving process](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/our-services/piano-moving/) in the Twin Cities, we at Piano Movers Extraordinaire are here to make your move simpler by handling moving your prized piano! If you aren’t sure about hiring someone else for your move – here are 4 reasons to hire piano movers! **1. Prevent Damage** One of the biggest reasons to hire piano movers is to prevent damage. A lack of experience when moving a piano can easily lead to disaster. Pianos are heavy and large, making it more likely that inexperienced movers will cause damage to themselves, the piano or the house. Without the right equipment and knowledge about moving a piano, it can be a dangerous endeavor. That’s why it’s always best to hire a piano mover! We have experience and the right tools – meaning that we know exactly how to minimize risk and safely move your piano. ![professional piano movers transporting a piano](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/piano-movers-piano-moving.jpg)**2. No Equipment Needed** When you hire a professional piano mover to help with your move, you don’t have to worry about all of the equipment required – the mover will supply the moving straps, dollies and truck, meaning you can focus on the remaining tasks required of you during your move. **3. Heated Transport for Piano** If you are moving in the winter, many moving trucks available for rent aren’t designed to move pianos. The trucks used by reputable piano movers should be heated to keep the piano from sustaining any damage due to extreme temperatures. Plus, you never have to worry about other furniture shifting and potentially damaging your piano as it will be in its own truck! **4. Simplify Moving Process** Finally, when you have to move, you have enough on your plate. From finding your new home to packing up your current home, deciding what is moving with you and what should be sold or donated, moving furniture and boxes, and so much more – moving your piano is just one more task that will cause you stress during the process. Hiring a professional piano mover can eliminate one of the major things from your list, leaving your time available to make sure the rest of the move goes smoothly. Pianos are heavy and often carry a lot of financial or sentimental value. Moving them by yourself puts both your health and safety at risk, as well as the condition of the piano. When in doubt – always hire a professional piano mover.

Moving a piano is a lot different from lifting heavy boxes and at Piano Movers Extraordinaire we understand this. Moving a piano is a delicate process and that’s why, in order to put your mind at ease, you should always hire professional piano movers for all of your piano moving needs. When you are moving into a new home or apartment, it is tempting to have your regular movers move your piano. Every moving company will promise they have experience moving pianos. Why? It’s simple; they want your business. The truth is, regular movers do not have experience moving pianos properly and they treat it with the same care as moving a sofa or dining room table. The result: your piano could possibly become damaged. Pianos are not only far heavier than the average couch or table, they are also far more delicate. One bad drop and it can damage the appearance and/or sound of your piano. Another issue is that regular movers have no idea how to assemble or disassemble a piano. This means that in some cases, pedals are removed and then not reattached properly and you need to hire a technician to fix them. Professional piano movers like ours should know the best ways to pack, load and unload pianos and our team knows just how to move them and [protect the instrument for safe transport](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/piano-protection-keeping-your-instrument-safe-and-sound/).

Do you own a piano? What’s your piano-moving plan? If you’re assuming your moving company is equipped to move your piano or if you’re planning to move your piano yourself—stop right there! At Piano Movers Extraordinaire, we specialize in [piano moving for St Paul](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/piano-moving-st-paul/), Minneapolis and the entire Twin Cities area and are here to tell you why hiring the professionals is an essential. ![Piano Moving St Paul](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/piano-moving-services.jpg)Piano moving isn’t easy, but there are a lot of do-it-yourselfers out there who think that with a hand dolly and a little elbow grease, they can handle it themselves. So, if you’re thinking of doing a little piano moving on your own, we’d like to offer a few reasons as to why you shouldn’t take it on. For one, did you know that the typical piano weighs between 300 and 1200 pounds? That’s right! Moving such a large object can really do a number on your back if done incorrectly. The most common major injury that people end up getting when improperly moving a piano is a back injury. Of course, it’s not just backs that get hurt during [do-it-yourself piano moving](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/dos-donts-piano-moving-during-rainy-spring-weather-minneapolis/). Fingers and toes can also feel the effects of an unprofessional piano move. A piano is more awkward to move than you might think. Because pianos have to make use of a physical space to create their sound, with lower notes having heavier and longer strings, they aren’t equally heavy on both sides and thus have significant weight distribution differences. There are also quite a few pianos that suffer at the hands of people who are trying to take care of the piano moving themselves. Pianos can end up with broken strings, torn-off lids, broken legs, big cracks and more. And, If you drop it, be prepared to pay for major piano repair and not just a simple tuning.![St Paul Piano Movers](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/piano-movers-extraordinaire-baby-grand-piano.jpg) Amateur piano movers often end up doing at least some damage to the surrounding space and do more bad than good. So, if you’re considering moving your piano without help from professional piano movers, please reconsider. Piano moving isn’t just about getting it out of the building. It’s also getting the piano to its final destination safely and soundly. And, when you hire the professionals at Piano Movers Extraordinaire you can rest assured you’re going to get just that.

However, storing a piano is not as simple as placing it in an empty room and covering it with a blanket. Pianos are delicate instruments made from wood, felt, metal and other materials that can be affected by environmental conditions. Improper storage can lead to costly damage that impacts both appearance and performance. ![pianos in storage](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/piano-movers-storage-2019.jpg) At Piano Movers Extraordinaire, we have helped countless piano owners safely transport and store their instruments. Here are some common mistakes people make when storing a piano and how to avoid them. ## Why Proper Piano Storage Matters A piano is a significant investment and often holds sentimental value as well. Temperature fluctuations, excess moisture and improper handling can cause damage that may require extensive repairs. Choosing the right piano storage solution helps preserve your instrument. ### Storing a Piano in a Garage One of the most common piano storage mistakes is placing the instrument in a garage. While it may seem convenient, garages are rarely finished and climate controlled. Extreme cold/heat and fluctuating humidity levels can cause the wooden components of a piano to expand and contract, potentially leading to cracks, warping and tuning instability. A professional piano storage facility provides a controlled environment designed to protect your instrument from these harmful conditions. ### Using a Basement for Piano Storage Unfinished basements often present similar risks. Unfinished basements experience higher humidity levels than the rest of the home, creating the perfect environment for mold, mildew and rust. Moisture can damage strings, internal components and the piano’s finish. If you need long-term piano storage, it is important to choose a location specifically designed to maintain stable humidity and temperature levels. ### Covering the Piano Incorrectly Many people assume that any cover will protect a piano during storage. Unfortunately, using plastic tarps or airtight coverings can trap moisture against the piano’s surface. Over time, this can contribute to mold growth and finish damage. Instead, use breathable piano covers and ensure the instrument is stored in a climate-controlled environment where excess moisture is not a concern. ### Skipping Professional Piano Movers Attempting to move a piano without professional assistance is a mistake that can lead to serious damage. Pianos are heavy, awkwardly shaped and highly sensitive to movement. Improper lifting or transportation can cause major damage to the piano, home or cause a serious injury. Professional piano movers have the specialized equipment and experience necessary to transport your instrument safely into storage. ### Ignoring Climate Control Climate-controlled piano storage is one of the most important factors in protecting your investment. Rapid temperature changes and fluctuating humidity levels can affect nearly every part of a piano, from the soundboard to the action mechanism. A dedicated piano storage facility maintains consistent conditions year-round, helping to prevent unnecessary wear and damage. #### Trust Piano Movers Extraordinaire for Safe Piano Storage Avoiding these common piano storage mistakes can help protect your instrument for years to come. At Piano Movers Extraordinaire, we offer professional piano moving and secure climate-controlled piano storage designed specifically for the unique needs of pianos. Whether you need short-term or long-term storage, our experienced team is committed to keeping your piano safe, and protected.

While this season is a popular time for moving, rainy conditions can create serious challenges when it comes to piano moving. At Piano Movers Extraordinaire, we specialize exclusively in [piano moving in Minneapolis](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/piano-moving-minneapolis/) and throughout the Twin Cities area, and we have seen firsthand how quickly moisture and improper handling can damage these delicate instruments. That is why we never recommend attempting a do-it-yourself piano move, especially during unpredictable spring weather. ![preparing for piano moving service by wrapping piano in plastic](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Untitled58.jpg) Pianos are highly sensitive to moisture. Rain and humidity can affect the wood, internal components and even the tuning stability of your instrument. When a piano is exposed to wet conditions, the wood can swell and warp, and the metal strings and internal mechanisms can be impacted over time. Even a brief encounter with rain during loading or unloading can lead to costly damage. One of the most important “do’s” of piano moving in rainy weather is proper protection. Professional piano movers use specialized padding, waterproof covers and secure wrapping techniques to shield your instrument from moisture at every stage of the move. At Piano Movers Extraordinaire, we carefully plan each move to minimize exposure, including positioning trucks strategically and timing loading and unloading to reduce risk. Another key factor is having the right equipment. Wet surfaces create slippery conditions that make piano moving significantly more dangerous. Professional movers use heavy-duty dollies, skid boards, straps and ramps designed specifically for piano transport. These tools, combined with experience and training, help ensure the safety of both your piano and your property. There are also important “don’ts” to keep in mind. First and foremost, do not attempt to move a piano yourself in rainy conditions. Pianos are extremely heavy and awkward to maneuver, and even a small misstep on a wet surface can lead to injury or serious damage. DIY moves often lack the proper protection and equipment needed to handle weather-related challenges. Another common mistake is underestimating the impact of humidity. Even if the rain seems light, increased moisture in the air can still affect your piano. Avoid leaving your instrument exposed outside or in damp environments for any length of time. Professional movers understand how to work efficiently while maintaining proper environmental protection throughout the process. Finally, do not delay planning. Spring schedules can fill up quickly, and waiting until the last minute may limit your options for experienced piano movers. Booking in advance ensures your move can be handled with the care and attention it deserves, regardless of the weather. At Piano Movers Extraordinaire, piano moving is not just one of many services we offer. It is all we do. Our team is trained to handle the unique challenges of moving pianos in every season, including the wet and unpredictable conditions of spring in the Twin Cities. When rain is in the forecast, trust experienced professionals who know how to protect your investment every step of the way.

Playing and caring for pianos involves a great deal of work and even certain factors outside of everyday use can damage this delicate instrument. It is important to exercise caution with your piano, especially during the moving process. Both weather and indoor air quality can affect a piano in several ways. At Piano Movers Extraordinaire we specialize in piano moving and [piano storage for Ramsey County](/piano-storage-ramsey-county/) and the surrounding areas and know the proper ways to care for and transport a piano. That is why we’ve put together a short outline of some of the ways weather can affect a piano. ![piano movers moving a piano into their truck in Ramsey County](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/moving-300x225.jpg) As you are likely already aware, pianos are complex instruments. They consist of wires, wooden frames, hammers, dampers and keys. When you press a key or a combination of them, they raise corresponding hammers. Those hammers then strikes the strings of which they are attached. At the same time, this lifts the dampers designed to prevent sound from occurring when the keys aren’t being played. There is a lot that goes into a single note. That is why sometimes the smallest [change in environment or temperature](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/how-temperature-humidity-effects-your-piano-minneapolis/) can throw things off. Each string and its corresponding parts can be vulnerable to certain conditions such as heat, cold and humidity. While pianos are designed to withstand routine playing, they’re actually quite delicate especially when left untouched; that is why it is so important to routinely play your piano. It is equally important to ensure the proper moving and storage of your piano. If left alone in a hot, cold or humid environment void of climate control, there are a number of effects your piano could experience. **Warm Weather** Warmer temperatures like the ones we’re currently experiencing can cause piano strings to grow slightly, much like running hot water over a glass jar’s metal rings to loosen them. Warmer weather can also cause the wood in pianos to expand and swell. **Moisture** High levels of moisture in the air causes the soundboard to swell. Low humidity levels cause it to shrink. **Cold Weather** Cold weather is known to cause piano strings to contract. This means they grow slightly shorter. Since they’re wound so tightly, this can place an incredible amount of excess pressure on the strings and keys. At the same time, cool temperatures make the wood in pianos and their soundboards warp and contract. While you can’t necessarily see these effects because they’re extremely minimal from a visual point of view, those who are familiar with the distinct sounds of a piano can certainly hear the impact.

Whether it’s for a child’s first piano, a newlywed couple or a seasoned musician, the excitement of receiving a piano is unmatched. But as thrilling as gifting a piano can be, the process of getting it safely from one location to another can be tricky. That’s where a professional [piano mover in Anoka County](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/piano-moving-anoka-county/) like Piano Movers Extraordinaire comes in. ![](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/piano-ready-to-be-gifted-over-the-holidays-1-1024x574.jpg) Moving a piano is far from a standard moving task. Pianos are delicate, heavy and often awkwardly shaped, which makes transporting them safely a challenge. A misstep can result in serious damage to the instrument—or worse, injuries to those attempting the move. [Professional piano movers](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/piano-mover-anoka-county/) are trained to handle every type of piano, from upright models to grand pianos, using specialized equipment and techniques that ensure the piano arrives in perfect condition. Timing is key when gifting a piano, especially during the holiday season. Many families coordinate deliveries around gatherings or celebrations, which adds an extra layer of importance to precise scheduling. Piano Movers Extraordinaire works closely with clients to arrange convenient delivery windows, making sure your gift arrives on time and in pristine condition. Another critical aspect is the environment in which the piano is moved. Pianos are sensitive to temperature and humidity changes, and exposure to extreme conditions can affect tuning and even structural integrity. Professional piano movers know how to protect instruments from the elements during transport, wrapping them securely and carefully maneuvering them through hallways, staircases and tight corners without scratching floors or walls. Once the piano reaches its destination, placement is just as important as the move itself. Where the piano sits in a room can affect sound quality, accessibility and longevity. Piano Movers Extraordinaire doesn’t just deliver; we provide expert guidance on placement and make sure the instrument is level and ready for immediate use.

Cold temperatures, snow, ice and fluctuating humidity can all impact both the instrument and the safety of the move itself. With the right preparation and an experienced moving team, however, your piano can be relocated safely even in the harshest winter conditions. Here are essential winter piano moving tips from our [piano mover in Minneapolis](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/piano-mover-minneapolis/) to help protect your instrument and ensure a smooth move. ![piano in home after piano movers helped relocate it](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/piano-movers.jpg) One of the biggest concerns during winter piano moves is temperature exposure. Pianos are made primarily of wood, felt and metal, all of which react to extreme cold. Sudden temperature changes can cause wood components to expand or contract, potentially leading to cracks, loose tuning pins or internal stress. Professional piano movers use insulated moving trucks to help reduce direct exposure to freezing air. Many specialized piano moving trucks are also equipped with heaters in the cargo area, similar to those used in school buses, which helps maintain a more stable environment during transport. While the truck doors must still be opened during loading and unloading, insulation and heat provide far more protection than an unheated vehicle. Before moving day arrives, it is important to prepare your home. Clear and shovel all walkways, driveways, porches and entry points where movers will be carrying the piano. Ice and packed snow significantly increase the risk of slips and falls, which can be dangerous for both movers and your piano. Applying ice melt or de-icer to these areas creates a much safer path and allows movers to maintain control of the instrument at all times. Safer footing leads to safer piano handling. Inside your home, remove rugs, décor or furniture that could get in the way. Moisture from snow-covered boots can make floors slippery, so keeping pathways clear and dry helps prevent accidents. If possible, place protective coverings near entrances to catch melting snow and moisture before it reaches hardwood or tile floors. Once the piano arrives at its new location, allow it time to acclimate before tuning. Winter air tends to be dry, especially indoors when heating systems are running. This dryness can affect the piano’s soundboard and strings. Giving the instrument time to adjust to the indoor temperature and humidity helps prevent unnecessary stress. Most professionals recommend waiting a couple of weeks before scheduling a tuning after a winter move. Using a professional piano moving company during winter is especially important. Pianos are heavy, awkwardly shaped and extremely sensitive to environmental changes. Experienced movers understand how to properly wrap, secure and transport pianos in cold conditions while minimizing risk. From insulated trucks to carefully planned routes and safe handling techniques, professional movers take winter variables into account every step of the way. With proper planning, cleared pathways and professional equipment, a winter piano move can be just as successful as one done in warmer months. Taking these precautions helps ensure your piano arrives safely, stays protected from the elements, and continues to sound beautiful for years to come.

Preparing your [Hennepin County home before the piano movers](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/piano-movers-hennepin-county/) arrive not only saves time but also helps ensure your piano and property remain safe throughout the move. ![piano movers moving piano on to truck parked on concrete driveway](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/piano-moving.webp)### Clear the Pathways Before our crew arrives, walk through your home and identify the route the piano will take. Clear away furniture, décor, rugs and anything else that might be in the way. Even small items like shoes, plant stands or children’s toys can create hazards during a move. A wide, obstacle-free path makes it easier for movers to maneuver the piano without the risk of tripping or bumping into objects. ### Protect Your Floors and Walls While our team uses padding and protective equipment, it’s always helpful when homeowners prepare their space ahead of time. Consider laying down floor protection in high-traffic areas or placing corner guards on walls. Hardwood floors and tight corners are especially vulnerable during a piano move, and a little extra preparation goes a long way in preventing scratches or dings. ### Take Measurements One of the biggest challenges in moving a piano is navigating narrow hallways, staircases and doorways. Before the moving day, measure these areas to confirm there is enough space for the piano to pass through. If you suspect tight clearance, let us know ahead of time. With advance notice, our movers can plan the best approach and bring specialized equipment if necessary. ### Secure Pets and Children Moving a piano requires focus and coordination. To keep everyone safe, it’s best to keep pets and children in another room while the movers are working. Not only does this protect your loved ones, but it also allows our team to concentrate on carefully guiding your instrument out of the house. ### Communicate Special Concerns Every home and piano is unique. If your piano has sentimental value, is an antique or requires extra care for specific features, let us know in advance. The more information we have, the better prepared we’ll be to move your piano safely and efficiently. ### Final Thoughts Preparing your home doesn’t take long, but it makes a big difference in ensuring a smooth and stress-free moving day. At Piano Movers Extraordinaire, our goal is always to protect your investment and provide peace of mind. With your preparation and our expertise, your piano will be in its new home safely in no time.

Whether you’re caring for a grand piano or an upright, taking proper steps to protect it can preserve both its beauty and its performance for years to come. At Piano Movers Extraordinaire, we’ve seen firsthand how the right environment can make all the difference. Here are some top tips for effective [piano protection](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/piano-care-tips-from-your-seasoned-piano-moving-professionals-anoka-county/), both in terms of placement and upkeep. ![piano against striped interior wall](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/piano-moving-and-storage.webp) ### Protect Your Piano from Sunlight If your piano is positioned near a window, one of the biggest threats it faces is direct sunlight. Continuous exposure to UV rays can cause the wood finish to fade and the internal components to dry out or crack. To prevent sun damage, consider using window coverings such as blinds or curtains. These can help control the amount of light that enters the room throughout the day. Another option is window tinting. This is a great way to block harmful UV rays without sacrificing natural light. Tinted windows can reduce glare and provide year-round protection without the need for adjusting shades or drapes. ### Placement Matters: Keep Pianos Away from Exterior Walls When placing an upright piano, it’s best to position it against an interior wall rather than an exterior one. Exterior walls are more prone to temperature fluctuations and humidity, both of which can wreak havoc on the wood and internal mechanics of your piano. Interior walls generally provide more stable conditions, which help maintain tuning and prolong the life of the instrument. ### Humidity and Temperature Control Pianos are sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature. Ideally, the room should be kept between 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit with a relative humidity of 40-50%. Using a room humidifier or a piano-specific humidity control system can help keep moisture levels consistent, protecting the delicate wood and felt parts inside your piano. ### Clean Carefully Dust your piano regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using household cleaners or sprays directly on the surface, as these can damage the finish. For deeper cleaning, a slightly damp cloth can be used on keys, followed by a dry one to remove any moisture. When in doubt, consult a professional who specializes in piano care. ### Final Thoughts on Piano Protection Whether you’ve just moved a piano into your home or you’re looking to better care for one that’s been in your family for years, a little preventative maintenance goes a long way. Simple steps—like using window coverings, choosing the right location and cleaning gently—can keep your piano sounding and looking great.

Not only do they have the expertise to ensure the safe and efficient transport of your prized instrument, but they also understand how seasonal changes can affect the moving process. At Piano Movers Extraordinaire, we are proud to be the trusted [piano mover in Ramsey County](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/piano-mover-ramsey-county/) and the surrounding Twin Cities area. As the experts, we’ll break down the essential do’s and don’ts of hiring a piano mover during the spring, so you can be prepared for a smooth and successful move. ![piano wrapped in plastic after move](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Untitled58-1024x512.jpg) ## The Do’s of Using a Piano Mover in Spring ### 1. Do Hire a Professional Piano Mover While it may be tempting to enlist friends or family to help with your piano move, a professional piano mover is equipped with the right tools and expertise to handle this delicate task. Pianos are heavy, awkward to maneuver and require special care during transport. A piano mover knows how to navigate tight spaces, protect your piano from damage and ensure its safe arrival at the destination. ### 2. Do Schedule the Move in Advance Spring is a busy time for many, and piano movers often have tight schedules. It’s essential to book your piano mover well in advance, particularly if you’re planning to move during peak moving seasons, like around school breaks or the start of the warmer months. Early scheduling will ensure that you secure a time slot that works for both you and the mover. ### 3. Do Consider the Weather Spring weather can be unpredictable, with rain, mud and temperature fluctuations. Make sure to discuss the potential weather conditions with your piano mover. Professional piano movers have the equipment to protect your piano from adverse weather conditions, such as waterproof covers or protective padding. They can also plan the best route to avoid delays due to weather disruptions. ### 4. Do Prepare the New Location Before the movers arrive, ensure that your new space is ready for the piano. Measure doorways, hallways and staircases to confirm that your piano will fit through the entry points. Clear the path of any obstacles that may impede the move. If your piano is going to a higher floor, ensure that the elevator or stairs can accommodate it. ## The Don’ts of Using a Piano Mover in Spring ### 1. Don’t Attempt to Move the Piano Yourself As tempting as it may be to save money by moving the piano yourself, attempting to do so without professional help is a risky decision. Not only can you damage the piano, but you may also risk injuring yourself or others in the process. A piano is not only heavy but also fragile. It requires careful handling, and a professional mover has the right knowledge and tools to protect it. ### 2. Don’t Overlook Insurance One of the common mistakes people make when hiring a piano mover is failing to inquire about insurance. Professional piano movers typically offer insurance options to protect against potential damages during the move. Be sure to discuss this with your piano mover and select the right coverage for peace of mind. ### 3. Don’t Forget to Communicate Special Requests If your piano has specific needs—whether it’s a rare or antique instrument, or if it has particular requirements for its transport—don’t forget to communicate these to your piano mover. Being upfront about any special considerations ensures that the mover can take extra precautions to avoid damaging your piano. This is especially important in the spring when environmental factors, like humidity or temperature, can affect the condition of the instrument. ### 4. Don’t Rush the Process Piano moving requires patience, especially during the spring months when conditions may not always be ideal. Rushing the process can result in mistakes and potentially damage your piano. Trust your movers to take the time they need to carefully and safely handle the transport of your piano. Don’t pressure them to hurry; instead, ensure you’ve allowed enough time for the job to be done right. Hiring a piano mover in the spring comes with its own set of considerations, but with the right planning and communication, the process can be seamless. By following these simple do’s and don’ts, you’ll ensure that your piano is moved safely and efficiently, allowing you to enjoy its music in your new space without any worries. Remember, a professional piano mover is not just transporting an instrument—they’re preserving your investment and protecting it from harm.

It’s heavy, cumbersome and requires careful planning to avoid damage or injury. While professional movers handle the heavy lifting, ensuring the pathways they use are safe and secure is crucial. Concrete steps and sidewalks play a vital role in this process, providing stable ground for maneuvering the piano. Maintaining these surfaces not only ensures a smooth move but also enhances the safety of everyone involved. At Wohlwend Concrete, we offer [concrete step](https://www.wohlwendconcrete.com/services/concrete-steps-twin-cities/) and [sidewalks](https://www.wohlwendconcrete.com/services/sidewalks-twin-cities/) repair, replacement and installation – allowing movers to safely traverse your landscape with your piano. Meanwhile, Piano Movers Extraordinaire offers exceptional and reliable [piano moving services](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/piano-mover-twin-cities/) to those throughout the Twin Cities area. **Inspect for Cracks and Uneven Surfaces** Before your piano movers arrive, inspect your concrete steps and sidewalks for cracks, chips or uneven surfaces. Over time, these can worsen due to weather conditions or heavy foot traffic. Uneven concrete poses a tripping hazard, and cracks can catch the wheels of moving equipment, creating unnecessary risks. Small cracks can often be filled with concrete repair caulk, while larger issues may require professional attention to ensure structural integrity. **Clean and Clear the Area** Dirt, leaves and debris can make concrete slippery and dangerous. Before the move, thoroughly sweep and clean the area. For tougher stains or moss growth, consider using a pressure washer or a non-slip cleaning solution. Ensuring the surface is dry before the movers arrive will reduce the risk of slips. **Ensure Proper Drainage** Water pooling on concrete surfaces can create slippery conditions, especially if it freezes in colder climates. Check your sidewalks and steps for areas where water collects. Installing proper drainage systems or grading the surface to direct water away can help keep your concrete safe and dry. **Add Non-Slip Features** Non-slip surfaces are essential when moving heavy items like pianos. Consider applying a non-slip coating to your concrete steps and sidewalks. Alternatively, non-slip mats can be placed temporarily on the steps to provide extra traction for the movers. **Reinforce Weight-Bearing Capacity** Concrete steps and sidewalks must withstand significant weight during a piano move. Over time, wear and tear can weaken these structures. If you’re unsure about the strength of your concrete, consult a professional to assess its condition. Reinforcing the concrete or replacing damaged areas will provide a safer foundation. **Plan for Clear Accessibility** Ensure the path leading to your home is wide and clear enough for movers to navigate with the piano. Trim overhanging branches and move any furniture or obstacles that might block the way. A clear, unobstructed path reduces the chances of accidents during the move. **Why Maintenance Matters** Regular maintenance of your concrete steps and sidewalks isn’t just about ensuring a safe piano move—it’s an investment in the long-term safety and aesthetics of your property. Well-maintained concrete not only boosts curb appeal but also provides a safer environment for everyone, from delivery personnel to family members. By taking these steps, you’ll create a safe and efficient environment for piano movers and ensure your prized instrument reaches its new location without incident. When in doubt, consulting concrete professionals like Wohlwend Concrete can help address any issues and provide expert guidance on keeping your steps and sidewalks in top condition. *When it comes to moving your piano, don’t settle for anything less than the best.

What Experience Do You Have with Piano Moving?** Piano moving is a specialized service that requires experience and expertise.

A company with extensive experience is more likely to have encountered and successfully managed various challenges that can arise during a move. **2.

Ensure that the company has comprehensive insurance coverage that includes damage to your piano during the move. Ask for details about their insurance policy and what it covers. **3.

A professional piano moving company will have the necessary equipment to ensure your piano is moved safely and securely. **4. How Do You Handle Different Types of Pianos?** Different types of pianos, such as grand pianos, upright pianos and digital pianos, require different handling techniques.

What Is Your Piano Moving Process?** Understanding the company’s process can give you peace of mind and help you prepare for the move.

This can include everything from disassembly (if necessary) to reassembly and tuning. **9. Are Your Movers Trained Specifically for Piano Moving?** Piano moving is not the same as moving regular household items. It requires specific training and expertise. Ensure that the movers handling your piano are trained in the intricacies of piano moving and have the skills to manage any challenges that may arise. **10. What Happens if There Are Delays or Issues During the Move?** Delays or issues can occur during any move. Ask the company how they handle unexpected problems, such as delays due to weather or difficulties accessing your home. Knowing their contingency plans can help you feel more confident in their ability to manage the move smoothly.

At Piano Movers Extraordinaire, we know pianos and how to properly move and store them.

At Piano Movers Extraordinaire we store all kinds of uprights and all sizes of grands. We can store for short stays or for longer periods.

Our piano storage experts will wrap the piano in quilted furniture pads to help avoid any scratches. And, we will never use plastic wrap, rope or string as this can cause damage.

Here at Piano Movers Extraordinaire we understand these reasons as well as our customers’ passion for their pianos; that’s why we take our job seriously. When you hire our professionals for piano moving and storage, we take all necessary precautions to protect your piano. But sometimes, even while in the care of the most professional of piano movers, minor effects can still occur. Here are some of the most common ones as well as precautions taken to avoid them. And, when you need [piano moving and storage in St Paul](/piano-moving-and-storage-st-paul/) or any of the surrounding areas, don’t hesitate to contact our kind and courteous piano professionals. ![piano moving and storage St Paul](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/j0422495-300x200.jpg) **Tuning Issues** An out of tune piano can be quite common after moving or storing a piano. This is generally not due to the actual physical moving of the piano but to the change in humidity from one location to another. This change takes anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to show its effect. For this reason, you should wait about two weeks after moving before having the piano tuned. Once your piano settles into its new home you’ll be able to have it tuned properly. **Grand Piano Pedals** Though this is usually only an issue with inexperienced movers (not like the ones here at Piano Movers Extraordinaire) grand piano pedals can become out of kilter after a move. Shims of leather or cardboard used to take up slack in the trapwork often fall out when the lyre is removed. However, it is a fairly simple matter for a piano technician to correct these problems when he or she comes to tune the piano. **Other Issues** Small changes in tuning or other effects on a piano is very unpredictable, especially if there is a large difference in humidity between the old and new locations. It is important to remember that a piano that has been in a damp or unheated place for many years should never be moved to a dry or well-heated location. Drastic environmental changes like these can wreak havoc on a piano. The best way to ensure proper piano moving and storage is by hiring the professionals. Professional piano movers like those at Piano Movers Extraordinaire are able to anticipate any possible effects on your piano and provide warning ahead of time. We can also recommend trusted tuners and technicians to repair or readjust your piano if needed.

Does it no longer match the decorum of your home? There are a few ways to change that. First, consider repurposing it as decoration. Nowadays people are using old pianos for garden planters, bookcases, artwork and accent pieces for both in and outside the home. This, of course, should only apply to pianos that are no longer playable. ![piano moving](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/piano-movers-extraordinaire-upright-piano-300x192.jpg) **Free or Nearly Free Can Be Costly** Piano owners have different reasons for not needing their pianos any longer. For example, someone might get rid of their piano because their kids grew up and moved out or maybe were never interested in playing in the first place or maybe they relocated. However, it is important to be totally aware of a piano’s condition before you decide to buy it or receive it as a donation. Sometimes you will find a piano that is no longer in good condition, can’t keep a tune and is completely unplayable – older ones especially. And then, you will have to pay for removal and disposal. While we offer this service to assist you, we never want to see someone having to use it for the wrong reasons. As a piano moving company that has been in business for many years, we have seen a lot of customers with pianos they found on Craigslist, online, etc. only to find after calling a tuner it is no longer in good condition and won’t hold a tune. Then, they have to pay for disposal. We strongly suggest not buying, selling or donating your old piano unless it is in great working condition to avoid this problem down the line. **Restoration** Restoration can be quite costly; however, if you should choose to have your piano transported for restoration, it’s wise to work with a trusted and reputable piano moving company like Piano Movers Extraordinaire so the piano doesn’t become further damaged in transit. With our piano moving services, you can trust your old piano will make it to its new location safely and soundly. Our trucks are specifically designed and engineered for piano moving and we know the best way to move it. Or, if you find yourself in need of piano disposal, our piano moving company can help you with that as well. Whatever the reason, allow our professional piano moving company to help. Give us a call at 763-784-8123 or fill out our online form for a [free estimate](/free-estimate/), and we can tell you more about piano moving in Ramsey County and all of the services we offer. **Categories:** Piano Tips --- ### [Protecting Your Wood Floors During a Piano Move](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/protecting-your-wood-floors-during-a-piano-move/) **Published:** January 28, 2022 **Author:** Piano Movers Extraordinaire **Content:** Moving a piano is always a big deal, simply because a piano is expensive, can be unwieldy, and can cause damage to your home when it’s not done properly. It’s even more nerve-wracking to move a piano when you have a newly finished hardwood floor to get across. Fortunately, if you call [Piano Movers Extraordinaire](/our-services/piano-moving/), we know how to properly move a piano and help protect your home during the process.![Piano Movers St Paul](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/piano-moving-twin-cities-300x193.jpg) Unfortunately, in the past, we have had customers try to take matters into their own hands with measures meant to protect their floors. However, many of these DIY methods of floor protection actually do more harm than good. That is why we have put together a few tips that will help ensure your piano is moved safely without damaging it, your hardwood floor, or yourself in the process. In the past, we have seen cases where people think they need to cover new or refinished wood floors with plywood or other material. This actually can cause more damage. Plywood and even cardboard can also pose a tripping hazard if used on the floor and is not safe for the moving process. If you feel you absolutely must put something down to help protect your newly finished floors, the best option is a rubber-backed rug. It’s best to keep your piano and floor safe by hiring the [best piano mover in your area](/free-estimate/). One reason it’s a good idea to hire piano movers is that the procedure for moving a piano can vary depending on the type and size piano you’re moving. For instance, a grand piano requires the legs to be removed to avoid damage, while different types of uprights will require a different amount of manpower. Here at Piano Movers Extraordinaire, we have the equipment to move pianos over any surface without causing damage. From the special wheels on our dollies to the special shoes we wear, we do everything we can to have a safe and smooth piano move.

However, one thing has remained a constant; they’re heavy. Even smaller upright pianos can weigh over five hundred pounds. How heavy a piano becomes a major factor in how difficult they are to move. It is easy for people to think they can move a piano on their own, but every single piano expert would advise against it. Do-it-yourself piano moving is incredibly difficult and dangerous, and as the expert [piano movers for Dakota County](/piano-mover-dakota-county/) and the surrounding areas, we would like to cover the reasons why in some greater detail. **Damage to the Instrument** First of all, you could easily damage the piano itself. While pianos are heavy and hefty, they are also quite delicate. They have intricate moving parts which are responsible for the rich sounds they produce. Most people choose to have their piano tuned shortly after a move after it is re-acclimated to the new place. However, inexperienced piano movers can also cause significant damage to the piano’s inner workings, which can cost quite a bit of money to repair. If the piano is significantly damaged, it may not be repairable or tunable at all. Those who try a DIY piano move to save money could actually end up costing themselves far more in repair than it would have cost to hire professional piano movers in the first place. At Piano Movers Extraordinaire, our professional piano movers are familiar with piano construction and have the tools, manpower, and experience necessary to transport them. ![Piano Movers Dakota County](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/piano-moving-services-300x206.jpg) **Bodily Injury** Did you know that some of the heaviest pianos can weigh more than a thousand pounds?! Moving something this heavy means a lot of turning, twisting and bending especially if the movers are inexperienced and ill-equipped. The result is often severe personal injury. **Property Damage** When pianos collide with walls, flooring, and other objects, the results can be lasting and catastrophic. The sheer weight of the piano will easily dent or crack walls, flooring and furniture, which can cost quite a bit to be repaired. Pianos are not just heavy, they’re also irregularly shaped. The piano’s shape makes it difficult to maneuver in tight spaces, especially when stairs or sharp corners are involved. Pianos are not just heavy and awkward, they’re also expensive so they are an investment that needs to be protected. Those who opt for DIY piano moving often find themselves in quite the worrisome state as they attempt to transport the hefty instrument. Many people underestimate how complicated it is to move a piano, even a short distance. Once they try to lift it, reality sets in. Fortunately, our professional piano movers can make the moving process easy.

By having a skid, the grand piano can be stored safely on its side, which takes up less room. When leaving our skid behind, we ask only to have the second move paid ahead as a down payment. This ensures that we will be back for our equipment, and of course, the return move of the piano. --- ### [Piano Mover Ramsey County](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/piano-mover-ramsey-county/) **Published:** February 11, 2025 **Author:** Piano Movers Extraordinaire **Content:** # Piano Mover Ramsey County Moving a piano is unlike any other type of relocation—it demands specialized expertise and equipment tailored to the instrument’s unique size, weight and sensitivity.

We store all of our pianos in a climate-controlled storage area to protect the instrument from fluctuating temperatures. When cared for properly, pianos will last for decades. That is why it is so important to properly store and care for your piano at all times. At Piano Movers Extraordinaire, we have an insulated building that we heat and dehumidify as the seasons change to keep it climate-controlled for the pianos. We custom tailor each service we provide to our customers’ unique needs and we work with you to ensure we exceed all of your expectations.

The piano moving service we provide varies with each customer’s needs. We have the experience and equipment necessary to move your piano safely from one location to another. There are multiple reasons that people move pianos: - Moving from one residence to another - Buying a piano from a store or private individual - Getting a piano from a friend or relative - Sending a piano in to a tuner for repair - Sending to a furniture refinishing place for a fresh new look - Moving to a different room inside a home - Getting new flooring such as carpeting or having wood floors refinished - Moving for events, such as concerts and plays - Moving into a rented truck or trailer for long distance moves Whatever the reason, we can help make sure your piano is moved safely. We average 6 to 10 piano moves a day. Let our professional movers help with your piano. ## Grand Piano Skids A small but helpful service we provide is leaving our grand skids at customer’s homes. This is for people that need to leave their grand piano on its side for a time. This need usually arises during a new floor construction or other home remodel when the piano is temporarily removed from the room. Many remodel situations mean everything in the house is being moved to limited areas. For example, pianos are put in hallways, an extra bedroom, dining area or even sometimes in a garage. By having a skid, the grand piano can be stored safely on its side, which takes up less room. When leaving our skid behind, we ask only to have the second move paid ahead as a down payment. This ensures that we will be back for our equipment, and of course, the return move of the piano. ## Piano Storage Another popular service we offer is our climate-controlled piano storage. We have an insulated building that we also heat and/or dehumidify as the seasons change to keep it climate-controlled for the pianos. We store all kinds of uprights and all sizes of grands. We can store for short stays or for longer needs. We understand that some people are in between homes for different lengths of time. In general, we charge for a move to and from the storage facility. Prices vary depending on piano style and moving areas. We charge monthly fees for the storage. Call 763-784-8123 for an individual estimate for piano storage as each customer’s needs are different. ## Piano Disposal Everything comes to an end sometime. This also includes pianos. Sometimes even they get past their prime. When a piano is no longer in good condition on the outside and/or the inside no longer works well, some people spend the money for reconditioning. The inside can be fixed by a piano technician, and the outside can be renewed by a furniture refinisher. We provide some [recommendations for piano restorations](/recommendations-links/ "Recommendations for Piano Restoration"). When you find the piano is not worth spending money on to restore, then it is ready for disposal. That is where we can help. Of course a piano doesn’t fit in a garbage can, so we take it away and send it to piano heaven…also known as the local landfill.

We move all types of pianos: uprights, spinets and grands. We can move any size of piano. Just let us know the exact height or length of your piano so we can be prepared with the correct equipment. ### Where can you move pianos? We move pianos in Minneapolis, St Paul and surrounding suburbs. We can move pianos to/from private residences, stores, churches, schools and various other buildings. ### How do I know when you’ll arrive? We call all customers the evening before with a 2-hour window. The movers also call from the truck when they are getting close. ### What is the cost to move a piano? The cost depends on several factors: size of the piano, how far we are transporting it, and the difficulty of the move. The more details you can provide us before the move, the more accurate we can be with the estimate. For instance, it helps to know if stairs are involved in the move, how accessible parking is, and any other factors that may require extra care and time for the move. ### **How do you protect the piano while moving?** We use protective covers and pads to keep from scratching or damaging the piano. We also have skids and wheels to protect floors. During transport, we have an insulated and heated cargo area to keep the piano in ideal conditions as much as possible. ### **Do I need to cover wood floors to prevent damage?** You do NOT need to cover new or refinished wood floors to prevent damage. In fact, this can often cause more damage. We have equipment to move pianos over any surface without causing damage. This includes special wheels on our dollies. We also wear special shoes to prevent any marks. If you really want to put something down, the best option is a rubber backed rug. ### **How can I make my piano move smoother?** Having the path cleared for the move is extremely beneficial. Remove any clutter from the room, stairways, porch, walkout, sidewalks, etc. This can include other furniture, toys, leaves, etc. It’s especially helpful in the winter to have the path cleared of snow and ice. A clear path makes the move safer, easier and faster. Additionally, letting us know the details of the moving locations and size of the piano will help us be prepared with the correct equipment. We need to know the height of upright pianos and length of grand pianos. We also need to know if inside and/or outside steps are involved. ### **What other services do you offer besides moving?** We offer [piano storage](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/our-services/piano-storage/) in a climate-controlled building. We also offer [piano disposal](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/our-services/piano-disposal/) ### **Why should I trust Piano Movers Extraordinaire for my piano move?** We have been in business since 1976.

Allen Stifter founded the company in 1976 with high quality standards from the beginning. After many years of piano moving, Allen decided to retire. In 1995, Curt Cameron, a longtime friend and employee of Allen, agreed to continue with the piano moving business. Curt and his wife, Doreen, then owned and operated Piano Movers Extraordinaire for many years. Curt moved pianos from 1980 until his retirement in 2022. After a well-deserved retirement for Curt and Doreen, Curt’s son and daughter-in-law, Albert Cameron and Melissa Aszmann, took over the company in August 2022. Albert officially started moving pianos full time in 2000, but he had been on the truck with Curt learning the skills long before that. Albert and Melissa continue to run the business with the same high quality standards that clients have come to expect from Piano Movers Extraordinaire. The company offers piano moving, piano storage and piano disposal services around the Minneapolis and St Paul areas.

However, when a piano begins to show wear on the outside or the moving parts inside no longer work properly, reconditioning is usually the first recommendation. A piano technician can fix the inside of the piano while a furniture refinisher can restore the outside. We provide some [recommendations for piano restorations](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/recommendations-links/). ![Two men moving a piano](https://www.pianomoversextraordinaire.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/old-piano-300x225.jpg)When you find the piano is not worth spending the money to restore, there are some other options – maybe you can sell it to someone who wants to restore it or the piano can be recycled for another purpose. However, if you are not able to find a new life for your piano, we can help you dispose of it.
