Licensed GA HHG #9320, four-wheel piano dollies, double-blanket wrapping, full floor protection, and cargo and liability insurance on every instrument.
Alcovy is one of our regular service areas in metro Atlanta. Alcovy is a steady booking inside Monroe — quiet residential streets, mature trees, and standard two-car driveways are typical. Bears Moving Co. (GA HHG #9320) brings licensed, insured crews who know the streets, buildings, and parking realities of Alcovy — so your move day stays on schedule.
A Alcovy piano job is scoped before it's scheduled — instrument type and age, doorway widths, stair-rise at both addresses, and parking. That's how the right crew size and equipment arrive the first time instead of being figured out on the porch. The addresses we see most often here are around Alcovy River, Alcovy High School, Alcovy Mountain Drive, and Mountain Creek Church Road.
The hard part of a Monroe piano move is usually the house itself: a steep front stair, a doorway an inch narrower than expected, and heart-pine floors underneath. We protect the whole path through Downtown Monroe and Alcovy first. We walk the full route — truck to threshold, threshold to room — before the instrument moves, then lay runners over every floor it crosses.
Monroe has a high share of antique uprights and player pianos, which are heavier and more fragile than their size suggests. The list runs from spinets and consoles through studio, full-size, and antique uprights to player pianos, digital pianos, and stage keyboards. Whatever it is, it stays upright on a four-wheel piano dolly, double-wrapped and strapped, with corner protection through every incline.
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.
The flat rate on a Monroe move reflects the stair run and the amount of floor protection an older house needs — both settled before you get a number. A Alcovy piano move is priced as a single flat number, never by the hour.
No hourly minimum, no clock, no adjustment at the end — you approve the price before move day and it holds even if the job runs long.
Three factors set it. First, the piano: spinet and console at the light end, studio and full-size uprights heavier, antique uprights and player pianos heaviest and most fragile, digital pianos simplest.
Second, stairs and access at both ends — flights and stair-rise, turns and landings, doorway widths, thresholds, elevator size, and the carry distance from the door to the truck; historic-home access is priced into the flat rate and never billed as a separate fee. Third, mileage between the two addresses, with no travel surcharge inside ZIP 30655, 30656.
Truck, fuel, blankets, shrink wrap, skid board, four-wheel piano dollies, floor runners, door-jamb protection, and full insurance are all inside the flat rate. There is no per-stair fee, no per-flight fee, no long-carry fee, and no elevator fee. Piano-only bookings are welcome, and a piano added to a household move rides with the same crew as its own flat piano fee.

Yes — Alcovy is one of our regular upright and spinet piano areas in Monroe. Our crews know the access, doorways, and parking at Alcovy River, Alcovy High School, Alcovy Mountain Drive, and Mountain Creek Church Road. We do not move baby grand or grand pianos.
No — our piano service covers uprights and spinets: consoles, studio and full-size uprights, antique and player pianos, and digital pianos. Grands of any size need leg-and-lyre disassembly and skid-board work we are not equipped for, so Alcovy grand moves go to a specialty crew instead.
The flat rate on a Monroe move reflects the stair run and the amount of floor protection an older house needs — both settled before you get a number. Alcovy piano moves are quoted as a flat rate, not by the hour — the price comes from the piano's type and size, the stairs and access at both ends, and the mileage, with equipment, floor protection, and insurance included.
Yes. The hard part of a Monroe piano move is usually the house itself: a steep front stair, a doorway an inch narrower than expected, and heart-pine floors underneath. We protect the whole path through Downtown Monroe and Alcovy first. We size the crew to the stair-rise and the instrument weight, and we never bill a per-stair or per-flight surcharge in Monroe.

Yes, but wait. Let the instrument sit 2-4 weeks in its new Alcovy room so it acclimates to the humidity and temperature there — a tuning done before that rarely holds.
