These are live estimates from our pricing engine, not fixed quotes. Your pro confirms the final price before the work starts. Weekday prices are for bookings more than 48 hours ahead.
How the "from" price works
Our pricing has no "one item only" size, so a piano on its own is priced as our smallest move: a studio apartment's worth of time for a 2-person crew (about two and a half hours), their trip to you, and a set amount for the extra kit and care a piano needs. If a few other things are going too, the price is the same. In the quote, pick Studio if the piano is the main thing moving.
What's included
- A 2-person crew from a vetted local pro. We check reviews and insurance before anyone joins.
- The piano handled with the kit a piano needs, priced in up front rather than argued about on the day.
- Stairs at either end priced in the quote, so you know before you book.
- Your pro's trip to you.
- Not included: tuning, crating, long-distance shipping, and grand pianos (those are priced on a call).
What changes the price
Stairs
Every flight adds time and risk. With us, one flight at one end takes the job to $610-$710, and two or more flights to $650-$755. For comparison, national cost guides say piano movers typically add $40 to $100 per flight of stairs (HomeGuide).
Upright or grand
Our online price is for upright pianos: spinets, consoles, studios and full-size uprights. Grand pianos are heavier and usually need more people and special equipment (HomeGuide). An upright weighs about 300 to 900 pounds and a grand about 500 to 1,300 pounds, according to the same guide. For a grand or baby grand, use the call-back form below.
Distance
Our online prices are for local moves. If the piano is going more than about 30 miles, say so in the notes - longer moves are priced by the pro.
The day you pick
A Saturday brings the ground-floor job to $630-$735, and booking within 48 hours costs a little more too. We are closed on Sundays.
What else is moving
A piano as part of a 2-bedroom move, ground floor both ends, comes to $885-$1,030 - the crew, hours and the piano in one visit.
How that compares
| National cost guide | Range | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Local piano move | $150-$550 | HomeGuide |
| Upright, spinet or console, local | $100-$350 | HomeGuide |
| Grand or baby grand, local | $250-$650 | HomeGuide |
| Piano moved across town | $350-$1,000 | Fixr |
| Tuning after a move | $100-$200 | HomeGuide |
National averages, not quotes. Our from price is above most of them: it is a full 2-person crew for about two and a half hours plus the trip, from a vetted local pro.

Piano moving: common questions
How much does it cost to move a piano in Rhode Island?
With us, an upright piano moved from a ground floor to a ground floor on a weekday comes to $570-$665, for a 2-person crew. Stairs, a Saturday or a bigger move add to that. National cost guides put a local piano move at $150 to $550 (HomeGuide) and an upright at $100 to $350, so our price is above the national average: it is a full 2-person crew for about two and a half hours plus their trip to you.
Do you move grand pianos?
Not with an online price. A grand or baby grand is heavier, usually needs more people and special equipment, and often has to be partly taken apart to fit through doors (HomeGuide), so a pro prices it on a call. Use the call-back form on this page and add a photo.
How much do stairs add?
With one flight of stairs at one end, the same job comes to $610-$710. With two or more flights, $650-$755. National cost guides say piano movers typically charge $40 to $100 per flight of stairs (HomeGuide).
Can you move a piano on a Saturday?
Yes. On a Saturday the same ground-floor job comes to $630-$735. We are closed on Sundays.
Do you tune the piano after the move?
No. We move pianos; a piano tuner tunes them. National cost guides put tuning after a move at $100 to $200 (HomeGuide).
How do I pay?
A $85 deposit by card holds your slot on the ground-floor job and is refundable up to 24 hours before. The rest, $485-$580, is paid to your pro when the piano is in place.
