Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Duluth piano moves run 3-4.5 hours depending on whether the instrument clears the garage entry. Duluth 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 Duluth?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We move upright and spinet pianos up and down stairs in Duluth regularly. Duluth's Sugarloaf-area homes usually have a two-story foyer with a curved staircase — the piano goes through the level garage entry instead whenever the room layout allows. 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 Duluth?

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 Duluth moves to a specialty grand-piano mover.

Question 4

Is my piano insured while you move it in Duluth?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Duluth 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 Duluth?

Accepted Answer

Piano-only moves are a normal booking in Duluth — 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.
