Piano Moving in Middle Island, NY
We run piano moving in Middle Island most weeks. Piano work here runs into the same three obstacles again and again: a narrow staircase with a turn at the landing, a front stoop with a railing in the way, and a finished basement where the instrument has lived for thirty years. Getting the measurements before the day is what keeps a piano move from becoming a problem on the doorstep.
Moving in Middle Island
Mail in Middle Island goes to ZIP code 11953. It is a hamlet in the Town of Brookhaven, and it is well inside our regular run from Lake Ronkonkoma, which keeps travel time off your bill.
Uprights versus grands
An upright stays upright. It gets wrapped, tipped onto a piano dolly, and steered, and the difficulty is almost entirely in the weight distribution and the turns. Spinets and consoles are the manageable end. Full uprights and old player pianos are considerably more than they look.
A grand does not travel assembled. The lid is secured, the lyre and pedals come off, one leg comes off, and the instrument is lowered onto a padded skid board on its bent side, then strapped down and moved on the board. Baby grands and concert grands are the same procedure at different weights.
What we ask before quoting
Access is what usually moves a price, not distance. Walk-ups, long carries from the curb, tight driveways and elevator reservations all change how a day runs, so we ask about them up front rather than discovering them on the morning.
