One written number, no walkthrough required.
Pianos don’t move like furniture, and Wyatt’s crew treats them that way — piano boards, skids, and rigging straps instead of a dolly and hope. Uprights, baby grands, and full grand pianos each load differently, and a grand almost always means the legs and lyre come off and the body gets crated before it goes anywhere near a staircase.
Tacoma has plenty of homes where the piano went in during construction and the doorway hasn’t been that wide since. Narrow stairwells in older North Tacoma houses, tight turns in split-level Lakewood homes, sidewalk-to-porch elevation changes — Wyatt’s crew has moved grands through all of it without pulling a doorframe off its hinges.
- Piano board or skid used for every upright and grand
- Full disassembly and crating available for grand pianos
- Stair and tight-turn moves handled by a dedicated specialty crew
- Climate-aware handling to protect tuning and finish in transit
| Piano type | Typical crew | Prep required |
|---|---|---|
| Upright | 2-3 movers | Piano board, wrap |
| Baby grand | 3-4 movers | Leg/lyre removal, board |
| Concert grand | 4+ movers, crating | Full crate, rigging |
We handle the move and basic climate protection in transit, but we’re not piano tuners — plan on a tuner visit after delivery, especially after a long-distance haul. This service pairs with residential moving when the piano’s one part of a bigger move, or stands alone as a specialty job. Get a quote at /quote/ and see more specialty work on our services page.

Noah and Josh crushed it! They worked quickly and carefully, while navigating some tricky parking and elevator situations. They even managed to delivery a furniture piece that I worried might be too large to make it to my apartment. Great job.

Local Moves Around Tacoma
Most of our runs never leave Pierce County — Tacoma, Lakewood, and University Place on one flat number you sign off on before we touch a box.
Long-Distance Moving from Tacoma
Cross a state line and the same Tacoma crew that loaded your house drives it through, since we run the Seattle, Portland, and Spokane corridors ourselves on our own federal authority.
Full-Service Home Moves
North Tacoma craftsman or a Lakewood rambler, the routine holds: blankets on the corners, floor runners at both ends, and furniture set back in place before we roll out.
Apartment & Condo Moves
Downtown high-rises and Stadium District walk-ups gate you behind reserved elevators and building paperwork, so Priya locks down the COI before crew day, not the morning of.
Full-Home Packing
Full-home packing with materials included — every box labeled by room so unpacking at the other end takes an afternoon, not a week.
Interim Storage
Closing dates rarely line up with move-out day; our climate-controlled storage holds your things between legs, billed month to month.
