Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Typical Marietta upright moves are 2.5-3.5 hours; a tall antique upright with front stairs is 3.5-4.5 hours with three movers. Marietta 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 Marietta?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We move upright and spinet pianos up and down stairs in Marietta regularly. The historic homes around Marietta Square have tall front stairs and original doorways, and the Square itself limits truck staging — we stage on the side street and walk the route before we touch the instrument. 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 Marietta?

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 Marietta moves to a specialty grand-piano mover.

Question 4

Is my piano insured while you move it in Marietta?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Marietta 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 Marietta?

Accepted Answer

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