Wilson and Kalifa were absolutely outstanding. They showed up right on time, communicated clearly, and tackled what can only be described as a Peloton Tread+ relocation obstacle course with professionalism and ease. This wasn’t a simple move—the treadmill is incredibly heavy (460lbs!), the stairs were challenging, and there were plenty of opportunities for things to go sideways. Instead, they handled every step with teamwork, skill, and a level of confidence that made the whole process look easy. They were careful, efficient, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was completed exactly the way I wanted. Watching them maneuver that treadmill was like witnessing a synchronized Olympic event: equal parts strength, precision, and grace. My back started hurting just watching them do the work. If you’re lucky enough to get Wilson and Kalifa on your job, you’re in great hands. I would hire them again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to anyone who needs movers who bring both muscles and professionalism to the table. Five stars all day long. - Bryan

Kevin and Khalid went above and beyond helping me move a very heavy solid wood entertainment cabinet down a flight of outdoor stairs and into my mom’s garage. They were incredibly professional, careful, and efficient from start to finish. They communicated clearly, showed up on time, and treated the piece with great care. It was a challenging move, but they handled it with total confidence and teamwork. Friendly, respectful, and clearly experienced, I couldn’t have asked for better movers. If you want the job done right with zero stress, these are your guys! Highly recommend - Kelly

Jeremy and Henry were awesome. Excellent communication beforehand and while moving. They were able to move even more items than I had expected and moved so quickly. They expertly moved my large, heavy couch (that I struggle to push around) down a set of stairs and a super narrow alley. They made the process so quick and easy, and they were also really kind, friendly people. If I or someone I know needed to move again and I could request movers, I would definitely request them. - Claire

Lugg connects you with on-demand piano removals for upright, spinet, and console pianos. Since 2014, Lugg has completed 1.5M+ moves across 4,000+ U.S. cities. Piano removals work the same as any other Lugg booking. Pick a vehicle, choose your Luggers, see upfront pricing before you confirm — with one important caveat unique to pianos: weight.
Moving a piano? Book the right number of Luggers.
Lugg's per-Lugger weight limit is 125 lbs per person. That makes a typical upright piano a 3- to 4-Lugger job, not a 2-Lugger job. Rough math by piano type:
- Spinet pianos (36"–40" tall): 300–400 lbs — book 3 Luggers
- Console pianos (40"–44" tall): 350–450 lbs — book 3–4 Luggers
- Studio uprights (44"–48" tall): 400–500 lbs — book 4 Luggers
- Full uprights (48"+ tall): 500–700 lbs — book 5+ Luggers
If you only book the default 2 Luggers for a piano, the move won't be safe. Please either book additional Luggers or have extra help on site.
What about baby grand and grand pianos?
Lugg does not move grand pianos. For a grand, use a piano specialist. Baby grand pianos can be moved within the same property — room to room, or briefly lifted so a rug can be placed underneath. The baby grand needs to fit safely through every doorway and turn, and you'll still need to book enough Luggers for the weight.
