Hoisting
Hoisting is an intricate part of our piano moves, as San Francisco houses have stairs. And stairs increase the complexity of a piano move. But again, not to worry, we provide complete hoisting services. We only arrange a hoist after coming to your home and assessing the situation. If we find that a crane is the only way to get the piano into or out of your house we will give you an estimate and talk you through the hoisting and moving process, so there are no loose ends, come move day. We take care of the details, from providing the crane to removing any windows or doors as needed. You will not have to hire and pay three different companies to do one move, we are one stop shopping.

Be careful of the household moving companies who claim they can move your piano. Although intentions are good, they do not specialize in pianos like we do. When moving your piano, having a trained and experienced piano mover is essential to protecting your possessions. Piano moving is not something that can be learned in a matter of weeks or months. It is something that is perfected only through years of training and on the job experience, especially in the city of San Francisco with all of the stairways and tight turns.
