Born To Move understands how important it is to move your piano safely and without any damage. A piano is an expensive and beautiful instrument that weights close to 500-700lbs depending on the type of piano that you have. Grand piano, spinet, church, concert, venue or any type of piano that you may have. From 1800 we can also move the crate and safely relay it into or out of the state of Illinois.

We have all the equipment to move to your new destination. We have equipment such as piano boards, straps, and special piano dollies. Born To Move is an experienced piano moving company who have been relocating pianos for over eight years, and we know exactly how to professionally move your piano with all necessary precautions. By handling the move with professionals you’ll be surprised how stress-free piano moving can be.

Piano crating

In some cases, when your piano is worth over $50,000, we have to crate the piano, and it’s very simple to do with Born To Move moving company in Chicago. All you have to do is give us a call and we can get you a quote and moving coordinator, who will be able to tell you exactly how we will crate your piano and transport it to your new destination. Give us a call if you’re looking for piano crating in Chicago.

Baby grand piano

Special moving is required. It has to be taken apart, and all legs and pedals have to be disassembled. Your baby grand piano has to be flipped and put on the piano board, this way you will be sure that we will move with precision. It will be wrapped with moving blankets, strapped to the piano board, put on the dolly, and moved to the truck. This process will require 4 movers.

What Questions Should I Ask When Hiring a Moving Company?

Spinet piano

Probably the lightest piano that requires only two movers. However, it will still be difficult and there will be a $20 fee for your piano +3 hours of labor on top of it. The process of moving will be the same. The movers will bring the piano board and put your piano on it. The movers will strap it down and move it to the truck together. The only difference is that only two people are required.

Upright piano

These could be very heavy, up to 700 lbs, depending on the year in which it was built. Our moving company in Chicago can move all types of pianos, including upright ones. We will bring professional movers, piano straps, and blankets. Everything will be professionally wrapped around with blankets, shrink wrap, and tape for piano protection.

Long-distance piano moving

Moving to another part of Illinois or cross country and you want to bring your beautiful instrument with you? Born To Move can help you to relocate anywhere in the country. Price will vary based on how expensive the piano is and where is it moving to.

What Questions Should I Ask When Hiring a Moving Company?

Piano Insurance

All moving companies who transport pianos have to provide insurance based on the $0.60 per pop, but Born To Move can provide additional insurance that can cover your entire piano. Give us a call for your free, no-obligation quote for moving your piano. We can certainly insure your piano when you choose our moving company.
