We’re a general Schaumburg mover, not a piano-only outfit — but the heavy, awkward, can’t-replace-it pieces still get specialty handling. Pianos, safes, and antiques get their own crew, gear, and line on your written rate.
The heavy and high-value pieces we move
Tyrell Banks and the crew bring skids, four-wheel piano boards, straps, and stair-climbing know-how for the items most movers won’t quote straight.
- Upright pianos — strapped to a board, padded, and walked down stairs by hand
- Baby grands and grands — legs and pedals removed, body skidded and crated as needed
- Gun safes — 400 to 1,000+ lbs, moved with proper dollies and floor protection
- Pool and billiard tables — disassembled, slate handled in pieces, reassembled on site
- Antiques, armoires, marble tops, and large mirrors — custom-wrapped and crated
- Treadmills, large aquariums (drained), and oversized art
Priced as its own line
Specialty items don’t disappear into an hourly blur. Pianos run about $290–$460 for an upright and $520–$840 for a baby grand, listed separately on your flat rate so you see exactly what the hard piece costs.
How a specialty move runs
- We ask the right questions. Stairs, doorway widths, and the piece’s weight decide crew size and gear before the day.
- Protect the path. Floor runners and door jamb pads go down first — important on hardwood and tight Woodfield-corridor condo halls.
- Move with the right tools. Boards, skids, straps, and four-person lifts where weight demands it.
- Set and check. Reassembled and placed where you want it, with $1M cargo coverage the whole way.
