Piano movers in Santa Rosa deal with more slope than flat floor. Before the date, we ask about every step between the piano and the truck: porch stairs, sloped walks, gravel drives and the turn at the top of a staircase. That count sets how many movers come and how long the job runs.
We have moved households since 2019, and every mover on a piano job has completed our 160-hour training program. Each piano is wrapped in padding, strapped to a piano board and carried down one step at a time.
Piano moves in Santa Rosa are priced on hourly rates for movers and a truck, with no hidden fees. The number of movers depends on the piano and the path: a console on a flat walk needs fewer hands than a grand going down a hillside staircase.
Your hours depend on the steps, the distance from the door to the truck and whether the piano moves alone or with a full household.
Piano jobs carry the local 3-hour minimum plus billed drive time. The piano board, straps and padding come with the hourly rate. Fuel surcharge, packing materials, valuation and storage are billed separately.
Condos and planned communities in Sonoma County can set move hours, elevator bookings and fees. Under California Civil Code 5600, an association may not charge an assessment or fee that exceeds the cost it is meant to cover.
Ask your HOA for its move rules and fee schedule as soon as you pick a date. We fit the piano move into the hours the association allows and plan the carry around any elevator booking or gate rule it gives you.
JR and the whole team at Mentor’s Moving and Storage were exceptional with the move of a baby grand piano for us. They had to go down a steep hill of stairs and they were very efficient and methodical while taking great care at preserving the condition of the piano. To add to this, the piano is an antique from 1926, they moved it without any harm to the piano at all. Tough task. Although they took the time to prep everything properly, they were extremely quick in doing so. They have adequate equipment and staff to do any job, and can even move you across the nation! We had them store the piano overnight in their warehouse so we could be prepared for the arrival, JR invited us to see his warehouse so we knew where it was being stored, this warehouse is more like a showroom! Super clean and very organized. Mentor’s will have our business for any moving needs from here on out. Very professional and communicative. I will be sending them videos to post of this specific move, so everyone can see the process they did so well. Thanks Mentor’s, my daughter loves the piano and plays everyday!
Mentor was quick to provide an estimate, very detailed, and provided the best price for moving a piano. They sent timely confirmations, and were on-time and efficient with the move. Braydon, Julia, Sean and team were very capable and friendly. I will definitely call Mentors again when I need moving assistance! Thank you!!
Needed a piano relocated. These guys gave a great quote, over the phone, and got it done the same day. They know what they are doing and they do it well! What else can I say?
Every review comes from Google, written by customers of our Santa Rosa office. See all of our Google reviews.
We move uprights and grands between Santa Rosa and towns across Sonoma, Marin and Napa counties. Each page covers moving to or from that town.
A piano quote turns on a few details: the type of piano, the room it sits in now, every step between that room and the street, and where it will stand at the new address. Photos of the path help us send the right number of movers.
We do not tune pianos, so book your own tuner for a date after the move.
A piano can wait in storage while you close on a house or finish a remodel, then come out padded and strapped for delivery to the new room once the floors and paint are done.
Pianos leaving California ride padded and strapped inside the truck with the rest of the household, listed on the inventory and unloaded first or last, as you prefer.
Music room pianos, risers and band furniture move between buildings on dates that fit the school calendar, often during breaks when rooms are empty.
When a parent downsizes, the family piano can go to a relative, into storage or into the smaller home, and we plan where it will fit before move day.
Sheet music, bench contents and the rest of the house are boxed and labeled by room before the piano leaves, so the carry path stays clear of boxes.
A new piano bench, cabinet or furniture order can be received at our warehouse and placed beside the piano in the same visit.
Moving the whole house along with the piano? Our Santa Rosa moving services cover every room on the same day.
Many Santa Rosa neighborhoods sit on graded hillsides, and that shapes how a piano leaves the house.
Every piano job follows the same five steps, whether the piano is a spinet in a ranch house or a grand at the top of an outdoor staircase.
We confirm doorways, turns and every step from the piano to the truck, using your photos or a visit.
Padding goes around the cabinet and keyboard lid so no finished surface touches a wall or rail.
The piano is strapped tight to a piano board, which carries its weight on stairs and slopes.
Movers take each step one at a time, with hands above and below the piano the whole way.
At the new home the piano goes where you want it, and the padding comes off once it stands level.
Yes. Tell us how many steps there are and send a photo if you can. We plan the carry, add movers when the stairs are long and strap the piano to a piano board for the descent.
Yes. We move uprights, consoles, spinets and grands, and each one is padded and strapped to a piano board for the carry.
