Double Drive
Time Policy

If the distance between your pick up and drop-off locations is more than 10 miles, double drive time will be applied to your move. For all hourly moves in the State of California, moving companies are required to charge double drive time. The actual CPUC law is written as follows: ‘the time used shall be the total of loading, unloading, and double the driving time from the point of origin to the point of destination.

Heavy &
Specialty Household Items

Piano require additional handling due to weight or size. The rates below apply to local moves.
$100
Items over 300 lbs
$150
Items over 500 lbs
$100
Upright piano
$150
Baby grand piano
For long-distance moves, these rates are doubled, as two separate crews are required - one for loading and another for unloading. Each mover can safely lift up to 100 lbs. Items exceeding 800 lbs may not be movable due to safety limitations. Full-size concert grand pianos are not serviced at this time.

Packing Supplies options

Packing services are included in your hourly rate when the piano is part of a larger residential or commercial move. Packing materials may be purchased if needed, or you may use your own supplies. For piano-only moves specialized protective padding and wrapping materials required for safe transport are already included.
