Not every mover should touch a piano, and ours are the crew you want when an upright or baby grand has to come down a Washington staircase. We bring the boards, straps, and skid gear built for the job, and each specialty move is handled by trained hands who do this every single week.

We've eased pianos out of the historic brownstones around Dupont Circle, and we fold the instrument right into a larger home move whenever the rest of the house is coming with it.

01 Overview

Pianos, Safes, And Fine Art

Some pieces need more than muscle. Our crew moves uprights, baby grands, gun safes, and gallery art through the narrow staircases and stoops that define DC homes. Proper boards, straps, and padding, plus insurance in place. A $99 deposit reserves your slot and comes off the final bill.

Items We Specialize In

  • Upright and grand pianos, including down tight row-house stairs
  • Heavy safes and gym equipment with the right dollies and boards
  • Fine art, antiques, and marble tops crated and padded
  • Grandfather clocks and glass cabinets handled and secured
  • Terrence has moved grands out of Georgetown walk-ups for years

What is included

  • Piano boards, skids, and heavy-duty straps
  • Extra padding and shrink wrap for the instrument
  • Stair and stoop navigation for tight DC homes
  • Proper dollies rated for safes and heavy loads
  • Custom padding or crating for fine art
  • Careful reassembly of legs and lyres
  • Insured handling of high-value pieces
  • Flat quote after we confirm the item and access

We Know How Washington Moves Actually Work

Row houses, high-rises, historic blocks and permit-only parking — the details that trip up out-of-town movers are routine for our crews.

Building COIs & elevators

We file certificates of insurance and reserve the freight elevator with building management before move day.

Permit & loading-zone parking

We pull the temporary no-parking permits so the truck sits legally at your curb, not a block away.

Row-house stairs & walk-ups

Narrow original staircases and third-floor walk-ups in Capitol Hill and Adams Morgan are an everyday job for our crews.

Historic & landmark homes

Floor protection, doorway padding, and careful handling for older DC homes with original details worth keeping.

High-rise & condo rules

Elevator windows, dock reservations, and HOA move-in requirements handled ahead of time so nothing stalls.

Short-term storage

Closing dates that don’t line up? We hold your goods in our secured DC facility and redeliver when you’re ready.

02 How we protect your move

Your things, handled like our own

Every job rolls with the gear to keep furniture, floors, and fragile pieces safe — before a single box goes on the truck.

Quilted moving blankets

Every dresser, table, and headboard is padded and shrink-wrapped before it moves an inch.

Shrink-wrap & stretch film

Drawers stay shut, cushions stay clean, and upholstery stays sealed against dust and weather.

Floor & doorway protection

Floor runners, rail wraps, and door-jamb pads go down first so your home takes no hits.

Custom crating

Mirrors, glass tops, artwork, and TVs get purpose-built boxes and corner protection.

Disassembly & reassembly

Beds, tables, and large pieces come apart, ride safe, and go back together at the new place.

Straps, dollies & lifts

Proper tie-downs and equipment for stairs, basements, and heavy pieces — no shortcuts.

Washington customers on this service

★★★★★

“Historic home near the canal with steep original stairs and doorways that were clearly not built for modern furniture. They disassembled what they had to and reassembled it perfectly at the other end. True pros.”

— David Fairbanks, Georgetown · Yelp
★★★★★

“Moved our whole family out of Bethesda and the crew of four just powered through a summer day that was brutally humid. Never complained once, and the flat rate held even though it took longer than they probably expected.”

— Gregory Hall, Bethesda MD · Google
★★★★★

“Georgia Avenue row house with a tight one-way and no driveway, plus a basement-free layout so everything's up the stairs. The team never lost their pace and were genuinely friendly about the whole thing.”

We handle gun safes and floor safes well over 500 pounds using rated dollies and boards, including up and down front stoops.
