PRICING GUIDE
Specialty Item Moving Costs
Pianos, safes, pool tables and hot tubs are not ordinary furniture. They are heavy, awkward and easy to damage, which is why they change the price of a move. Here is what goes into pricing them.
Why Specialty Items Cost More to Move
Specialty items need extra hands, special equipment and more time. A few of the things that add up:
- More movers on the job, and more time to plan the path out and in
- Equipment such as heavy-duty dollies, straps, ramps and floor protection
- Stairs, tight turns and narrow doorways that slow everything down
- Careful handling so the item and your home both stay protected
For these moves we match the crew to the item, and we give you the rate in writing before moving day.
Common Specialty Items
| Item | Why It Takes Extra Care | Learn More |
|---|---|---|
| Pianos | Heavy, easily damaged and awkward to turn through doorways and up or down stairs | Piano and safe moving |
| Safes | Often far heavier than they look, and hard to grip | See safe moving |
| Pool tables | Need to be taken apart and put back together properly | Pool table moving |
| Hot tubs | Heavy, bulky and hard to maneuver outside the home | Call us for a quote |
| Appliances | Weight, delicate parts and hookups | Appliance moving |
| Electronics | Fragile screens and equipment | Electronics moving |
What We Need to Give You an Accurate Quote
- What the item is, including the make and model if you know it
- Its approximate size and weight
- Which floor it is on, and how many steps and landings it has to travel
- The width of doorways, hallways and stairs along the path
- Where it is going, and what the path looks like at the new place
- A few photos or a quick video
Photos help a lot. You can also do a virtual estimate and walk us through your home by phone or video.
Moving a Specialty Item With the Rest of Your Home
You can add a specialty item to a full local move or to a long-distance move, or book a single-item move on its own. Tell us everything that is going up front so the crew and equipment are right the first time.
