Bears Moving Co. is a licensed Georgia piano moving company (GA HHG #9320) moving standard upright and spinet pianos throughout Cumming — Vickery homes, Polo Fields homes, Windermere homes, and Lake Lanier border homes. That includes consoles, studio uprights, player pianos, and digital pianos. We do not move baby grand or grand pianos. Four-wheel piano dollies, double-blanket wrapping, full floor protection, and cargo and liability insurance on every instrument.
Cumming homes make the outside of a piano move easy — Vickery homes, Polo Fields homes, Windermere homes, and Lake Lanier border homes with a driveway and a level threshold. The work is indoors: a bonus room over the garage, a split-level landing, a basement with one tight turn.
Getting to the door is easy in most of Cumming; getting the piano up or down the interior flight is the job. We walk that stair in Vickery before anything is lifted. That turn decides the crew size.
Across Cumming the mix is spinets, consoles, and full-size uprights, with the occasional player piano inherited from a family home. Spinets, consoles, studio and full-size uprights, antique and player pianos, digital pianos, and stage keyboards all fall inside what we handle. Each one travels upright on a four-wheel dolly under two layers of blanket, with corner guards and straps controlling it on every slope and stair.
We move standard upright and spinet pianos — including consoles, studio uprights, player pianos, and digital pianos. We do not move baby grand or grand pianos. If you have a baby grand or grand, we will tell you that straight away and point you toward a specialty grand mover rather than take a job we are not equipped for.
Booking a Cumming move starts with questions: what the instrument is and roughly how old, which doorways it passes through, how many stairs sit at each end, and where the truck can park. The answers set the crew and the gear before anyone shows up.
A Cumming flat rate is set by the instrument and the route: a tall full-size upright with an interior flight prices above a console going in level. Every Cumming piano move is quoted as one flat rate.
There is no hourly rate on a piano job, no minimum number of hours, and no clock running while the crew works — you approve a single number before move day and that is what you pay, even if the move takes longer than we planned. Three factors build that number.
The first factor is the instrument. Spinets and consoles sit at the light, simple end. Studio and full-size uprights weigh enough to need another set of hands. Antique uprights and player pianos can pass 900 pounds and have the most delicate cabinets of anything we carry, while digital pianos and keyboards price lowest. That's why the first question is always what you own.
The second factor is the route. Every Cumming quote counts stairs and their rise, pivots at landings, door and hallway widths, thresholds, elevator dimensions and windows, and carry distance to the truck. A ground-floor pickup with a driveway at the door sits at the bottom of the range; a third-floor walk-up with an awkward turn sits at the top.
Factor three is mileage — the driving distance between your two addresses. Short in-town Cumming moves price lower than a cross-metro haul. Inside our standard service zone there is no travel surcharge on top of that mileage.
Everything the job needs is in the price: truck, fuel, blankets, wrap, skid board, dollies, runners, door-jamb padding, and insurance. Stairs, flights, long carries, and elevators are not separate line items. If you are also booking a household move, the piano rides with the same crew on the same day as its own flat piano fee on top of the household move.
Coverage on a Cumming piano move is full cargo and liability under GA HHG #9320. A Certificate of Insurance naming your building, HOA, or property manager is available inside 24 hours, and Full Value Protection for antique or high-value uprights is discussed up front rather than tacked on later.
Budget for a tuning afterward, but not right away: give the instrument two to four weeks in its new Cumming room so it settles into that humidity and temperature first. We place it, level it, and check the casters so it's playable the day of the move.
We move pianos throughout Vickery, Polo Fields, Windermere, and Lake Lanier border and the rest of Forsyth County, with no travel surcharge inside our standard service zone.

A Cumming flat rate is set by the instrument and the route: a tall full-size upright with an interior flight prices above a console going in level. Every Cumming piano move is quoted as a flat rate rather than by the hour, based on the piano type and size, the stairs and access at both ends, and the mileage between addresses.
Truck, fuel, equipment, floor protection, and insurance are included in that price, and there are no per-stair or long-carry fees.
Yes. We move upright and spinet pianos up and down stairs in Cumming regularly. Getting to the door is easy in most of Cumming; getting the piano up or down the interior flight is the job. We walk that stair in Vickery before anything is lifted.
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.
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 Cumming moves to a specialty grand-piano mover.
It is. All Cumming piano work runs under our GA HHG #9320 license with full cargo and liability insurance, a Certificate of Insurance for your building or HOA within 24 hours, and optional Full Value Protection on valuable instruments.
Piano-only moves are a normal booking in Cumming — 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 goes with the same crew on the same day and is quoted as its own flat piano fee alongside the household move.
