A piano gets its own playbook, not a generic furniture dolly. Curtis Boone’s crew blankets the body, straps it to a skid board, and walks it through tight prewar hallways and stair turns without leaving a mark on the wall or the instrument.

Why prewar buildings need a specialist

Narrow stair turns, tight landings, and doorways built decades before anyone imagined an upright or a baby grand make ordinary furniture-moving technique fall short. Curtis has run large-home, piano, and safe jobs across Brooklyn and Staten Island for a decade.

How the crew handles it

  • Full blanket wrap on the body and legs
  • Skid board and straps for controlled tilting on stairs
  • Doorway and hallway measurements checked before lift
  • Reinforced dolly for the flat-ground stretch

Pricing

Piano moves start at $349, with the exact number confirmed once we know the instrument type and the stair or elevator situation at both ends.

Combine with a full move

Most piano jobs ride along with a residential move or a local move — tell us about the piano when you request your quote so Curtis’s crew is on the schedule.
