Piano board and stair creeper on a Kansas City move

Piano moves is the type, the floor, and the crew. How we use dollies is house wheels. How a safe comes up a basement is the next page. This page is the board and the creeper: the tools for an upright or a baby grand ( stays) on a stair. Two ZIP codes: Get my price. We will not write “licensed and insured.”

From $160 an hour for two movers and a truck — two movers and a truck. Most local jobs $1,200–$1,500. A piano is often a third and a board, not two and a four-wheel. We do not publish a board fee here. What changes the price. How we quote: two ZIP codes. Compare hours: how to compare hourly quotes. Specialty: pianos.

Board. Creeper. Not a house dolly.

• The board takes the piano; straps hold it — not a mattress bag — wind and mattresses
• A stair creeper is for treads we can still use — stairs and tight turns
• Wet treads stop the creeper — rain plan for a walk-up
• Ice on the drive stops the walk off the board — ice on the drive
• A tight turn can still refuse the piece — furniture that will not turn

Walk-up: the stair is the job — walk-ups. Heat on three flights slows the same stair — heat and a third-floor walk-up. Long carry after the last tread: long carry and shuttle. Pad the path: how we pad and wrap, floors and rails, doorway and banister. Be home: how to be home. Two doors: who should be at each end. A third is often the piano, not a slogan — when you need a third, how we staff three.

What we will not do with a board

We will not run a piano on glass. We will not treat a four-wheel as a piano board. We will not invent a “piano surcharge” number on this page. How long: how long a local move takes. If it runs long because the stair was the job, that is still the clock — what we do if it runs long. Labor only on a piano still needs the board — labour-only. A tip is not a creeper — tipping. Same-day piano plus a walk-up is the least likely yes — same-day. Rain and ice as weather: rain and ice. Winter morning: winter moving day.

HOA window: HOA. Elevator that will not take a grand: elevator reservations. Town home: town homes. Parking: the sit has to take a board off the truck — parking. Keys late: keys late. Closing day: closing day. Origin ready, dest not: origin ready, destination not. Overnight on the truck: a piano overnight is still local only if we agree — overnight on the truck. What to tell us: type, floor, lift or not — what to tell us, piano moves. Week before: what movers need the week before. After the form: after you request a price. Photos of the stair: photos that get a written price. Video: video walkthrough. Walk: what a walkthrough looks like. Morning-of: moving-day morning. Kids and pets out of the stair — kids and pets.
