A piano is more than just a musical instrument—it’s a delicate, valuable centerpiece that often holds deep sentimental value. Whether it’s an upright piano passed down through generations or a grand piano that commands the room, moving it requires more than just strength. It demands precision, experience, and the right equipment.
If you’re relocating within or to West Roxbury and need to move a piano, you need professionals who understand the unique challenges involved. At Michael’s Moving And Storage, we specialize in handling pianos of all shapes and sizes with care, expertise, and a deep respect for the instrument’s integrity.

Why Piano Moving Isn’t a DIY Job
Pianos can weigh hundreds to over a thousand pounds, and their construction includes sensitive internal components that can be easily damaged during transport. Attempting to move one without the proper tools or knowledge can result in damage to the piano, your floors, your walls—or worse, personal injury.
Our trained piano movers use specialized dollies, straps, padding, and boards to safely disassemble and transport your instrument. We assess access points, measure doorways and stairwells, and plan every detail before a single key is touched.
Customized Piano Moving Plans
No two pianos—or moving situations—are alike. That’s why we tailor each move to the specific instrument and the environment. Whether your piano is on a second floor, going into a high-rise building, or needs to be stored short-term, we craft a personalized plan that minimizes risk and maximizes efficiency.
We move uprights, baby grands, concert grands, spinets, and digital pianos with the same high level of care and professionalism.
Local Knowledge, Trusted Service
Being based in the Boston area, our team knows West Roxbury’s neighborhoods well—from quiet residential streets to busier urban areas. That means we can anticipate traffic issues, parking restrictions, and building access challenges ahead of time, ensuring a smooth and timely move.
Our experience in the area allows us to operate efficiently and courteously, respecting your time and property every step of the way.
How We Keep Your Piano Safe
- Pre-Move Assessment: We inspect the piano and the environment to prepare the best route and plan.
- Protective Padding: Every surface is wrapped and cushioned to prevent scratches or scuffs.
- Professional Equipment: We use piano skids, hoists, and ramps designed specifically for safe piano transport.
- Trained Team: Our movers are trained in proper lifting, tilting, and carrying techniques to protect your instrument and themselves.
Post-Move Support
After a piano move, it’s recommended to let the instrument acclimate to its new environment before tuning. We can help advise on placement to avoid temperature fluctuations and humidity exposure that may affect tuning stability.
Need storage? We also offer climate-controlled storage options ideal for pianos and other sensitive instruments. Whether you’re renovating, staging a home, or between moves, your piano will be safe with us until you’re ready.
Customer Satisfaction Is Our Forte
At Michael’s Moving And Storage, every move is conducted with one guiding principle: treat every move as though it were our own. That includes your cherished piano. From first call to final placement, our goal is to ensure your experience is smooth, respectful, and worry-free.
