Question 1

How much does it cost to move a piano in Atlanta?

Accepted Answer

A straight upright move between two Atlanta addresses with elevator access typically lands in the 2-3 hour window; a heavy antique upright with a stair flight at one end runs 3-4 hours. Atlanta piano moves run at our transparent hourly rate with a 2-hour minimum — typically $300-$500 for an upright, depending on stairs and access. Truck, fuel, equipment, floor protection, and insurance are included, and there are no per-stair or long-carry fees.

Question 2

Can you move a piano up or down stairs in Atlanta?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We move upright and spinet pianos up and down stairs in Atlanta regularly. In-town piano moves almost always come down to the elevator and the dock: we reserve the freight cab, pad it, and stage the truck inside the garage rather than trying to work a Peachtree curb. Crew size scales with the instrument weight and the stair count; for heavy antique uprights or four-plus flights we bring a larger crew and stair-climbing equipment.

Question 3

Do you move baby grand or grand pianos in Atlanta?

Accepted Answer

No. Bears Moving Co. moves standard upright and spinet pianos only — consoles, studio uprights, full-size and antique uprights, player pianos, and digital pianos. Baby grands, parlor grands, and concert grands require leg-and-lyre disassembly and skid-board handling that we do not offer, so we refer those Atlanta moves to a specialty grand-piano mover.

Question 4

Is my piano insured while you move it in Atlanta?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Atlanta piano move is covered by our full cargo and liability insurance under GA HHG #9320, and we can issue a Certificate of Insurance naming your building or HOA within 24 hours. Full Value Protection is available for high-value instruments.

Question 5

Can you move just the piano, or do I need a full move in Atlanta?

Accepted Answer

Piano-only moves are a normal booking in Atlanta — a lot of our piano jobs are a single instrument going across town or across the room. If you already have a household move scheduled with us, the piano folds into that same crew and hourly rate instead of costing extra.
