What separates an honest estimate
Written and binding
A real piano movers quote names crew size, stairs, disassembly and crating before work starts. Verbal ballparks are where surprise charges live.
Coverage stated
Released value pays $0.60 per pound — $300 on a 500-pound baby grand. Confirm full value protection in writing instead.
Specialist premium
Specialist piano movers cost $100 - $300 more than general movers, and that buys the equipment and insurance piano work requires.
