Professional Piano Removal Services

Pianos are among the most challenging items to remove from a home or building due to their extreme weight, bulky size, and delicate internal mechanisms. At 718JUNKOUT, we specialize in the safe and efficient removal of all types of pianos including uprights, consoles, spinets, baby grands, and grand pianos throughout NYC and Long Island surrounding areas.

Our Piano Removal Process

Our experienced team follows a careful, systematic approach to piano removal. We arrive with specialized equipment including piano dollies, heavy-duty straps, ramps, and protective padding. First, we evaluate the piano's position and plan the optimal removal route. Then we secure the keyboard lid and protect the piano's exterior with blankets or padding. Using proper lifting techniques and equipment, we safely navigate the piano through doorways, down stairs or elevators, and into our specialized truck. We take every precaution to protect your home's floors, walls, and doorframes during the removal process.
