Getting a quote from Piano Moving World is quick, and it doesn’t commit you to anything. Call (888) 278-9005 and describe the piano — upright, baby grand, grand, or full concert grand — and where it’s headed. Or email [email protected] with a couple of photos and the piano’s dimensions if that’s easier than talking it through live.

Renata Kovac builds the written quote directly from that call or email, using our flat-rate bands by piano type. If your home has an unusual staircase, a tight basement stairwell, or you need a piano safe, she’ll ask about it up front so the number you get is the number you pay — no surprises added on move day.

Once you’re happy with the quote, a $150 refundable deposit holds your date. Nothing is final until you say so, and there’s no pressure to book on the spot.

Quick Answers Before You Book

Do I have to book right after getting a quote?▾

No. The quote is free and no-obligation — take it, compare it, sit on it as long as you need. There's no pressure to book on the call.

What should I have ready before I call for a quote?▾

The piano type (upright, baby grand, grand, or concert grand), the two addresses, and whether either end has stairs, a turn, or a tight basement stairwell. Snap a couple of photos and text or email them to [email protected] — Renata Kovac can usually turn the written quote around from that alone, no site visit needed.

Why Piano Owners Choose Us

The Rate Eli Prices Is the Rate You Sign

Eli Sorensen looks over every piano himself — over the phone, on a video call, or from photos you text in — before Renata Kovac puts a flat number on the written quote, priced to that exact upright, grand, or concert grand, not a generic moving estimate.

Every Rigger Draws a Piano Moving World Paycheck

Desmond Okafor trains every new hire on the boards and skids himself, and all six of our full-time riggers stay on payroll year-round — nobody’s a day-labor hire meeting your piano for the first time on move day.

The Paperwork Is Ready Before You Ask For It

Renata Kovac keeps our Illinois ICC household goods permit current for jobs that start and end in-state, plus the federal US DOT/MC authority that covers any run crossing into Wisconsin, Indiana, or Missouri — ask for the certificate of insurance and the $1M cargo figure is already printed on it.

Built Around a Cook County Calendar, Not a Generic One

When a spring flood watch rises along the Des Plaines River, we move a piano out before the water does, and once a lake-effect squall backs up the Stevenson Expressway, we build extra time into the truck’s route instead of risking a late arrival.

The Hard Parts Are Priced Before We Show Up

A turned 1920s bungalow staircase off Center Avenue, a low basement stairwell in Berwyn or Cicero, the extra miles out to La Grange or Summit — all of it gets built into the flat rate before you sign, so the invoice doesn’t grow once the truck is in your driveway.

Every One of Our 5 Trucks Rolls Out Rigged for Pianos

Boards, skids, ramps, and moving blankets sized for an upright through a full concert grand ride on every truck before it leaves the yard, so nobody’s improvising with a mattress dolly borrowed from a general move.

Book Before the Spring Recital Season Fills the Calendar

Lock in your Lyons move date online now — Cook County’s spring recital and graduation weeks fill first every year, right alongside the church and school moves Eli prices at a discount.

Rescheduling Never Adds a Dollar

A freeze warning moves your basement move-out date, or a venue’s load-in time shifts a week — either way, moving your date ahead of time doesn’t change the flat rate Renata already wrote down.

Real Piano-Type Pricing, Not a Generic Moving Calculator

Every figure traces back to an actual piano Eli or Renata has priced by type around Lyons before, with church, school, and repeat-customer discounts already folded into the total before you sign.

Harriet Voss
★★★★★

Desmond walked our turned staircase twice before the piano ever left the wall — every corner had a plan, and the baby grand came down without a mark on the newel post.

Booked the Milwaukee run on a Tuesday and Marco’s crew had our grand loaded, driven, and set back on its legs by Thursday afternoon — same crew the whole way, no handoff.

Fourth-floor walk-up, no elevator, and they still had the upright wrapped and down the stairwell in under an hour without touching a wall.

★★★★★

They crated the piano the week before a January move so the cold never touched it — humidity padding, corner guards, all of it done before the truck ever showed up.

Paulina Okonkwo
★★★★★

Our venue only had a two-hour load-in window before the ceremony and the piano was tuned-ready on stage with twenty minutes to spare.
