A piano is not furniture — it's a 300-to-1,200-pound instrument with a cast-iron frame, and moving one wrong can wreck your stairs, your walls and your back. Our piano removal service gets uprights, grands and organs out of Greater Sudbury homes safely, whether the piano is heading to a new home, a charity, or its final rest.
Pianos end up in the trickiest spots in a house: the living room with the narrow front hall, the basement rec room down a steep staircase, the second-floor den in one of Sudbury's older century homes. Our crew plans the route before touching a key, uses proper moving equipment, and protects floors and doorframes along the way. If your piano still plays and deserves a second life, we'll do everything we can to get it to a local charity, school or music program intact.
What we take
- Upright and console pianos

How pricing works
Upright piano removal typically runs $200–$400 depending on stairs and access; grands and difficult moves (tight turns, multiple flights, hillside properties) are quoted individually and usually land in the $400–$800 range. The quote covers the crew, equipment, transport and disposal or donation — one flat price agreed before we start.
How it works
1. Book your quote — call (705) 555-0199 or send photos through the quote form. Tell us upright or grand, which floor it's on, and what the stairs look like.
2. We plan and move — confirmed price first. We map the route, protect floors and frames, and move the piano with proper equipment and enough crew.
3. We place or dispose right — playable pianos go to Sudbury charities or schools when possible; unplayable ones are broken down and recycled.

Frequently asked questions
Can you move a piano down basement stairs?
Yes — basement pianos are common in Sudbury, and stair moves are our specialty. We'll assess the staircase on arrival and be honest if a particular turn is too tight for a safe move.
My piano still works. Can you donate it instead of dumping it?
We always try. Playable pianos go to local Sudbury charities, schools or music programs first. Be aware that charities are selective — pianos need to hold tune and have all keys working — but we'll make the calls.
How many people does it take to move a piano?
Our crew size depends on the piano: uprights typically need a trained team of three to four with proper straps and dollies. We never improvise a piano move with too few hands.
Do you move pianos in winter?
Yes, with care. Icy walkways get treated and we allow extra time. Winter is actually a popular season for piano removals since indoor projects happen when the snow flies.
What about grand pianos?
Grands require leg removal, careful wrapping and a larger crew. They're quoted individually after we see photos or visit — call (705) 555-0199 and we'll walk through it.
