Stairs, a second floor or a strict HOA street? Our piano movers in Phoenix plan the path, strap your upright or grand to a padded board and set it in place. Get a piano quote.
Piano movers in Phoenix do most of their work before anyone lifts. We ask for the piano type, the steps at both homes, the door widths and where the truck can stand. A grand has its legs and pedal lyre taken off, then rides on its side on the piano board under straps. An upright is padded on every side and strapped standing up.
Every mover on a piano job has finished our 160-hour training program, and the people carrying your piano are employees of Mentors Moving & Storage.
Piano moves in Phoenix are billed hourly for the movers and truck your piano needs, at the rates in the table. A piano can move on its own or ride with the rest of your household on the same truck.
What changes your total: the number of steps at each home, whether a grand needs its legs removed, how far the truck parks from the door and the drive between the two addresses.
Every local job has a 3-hour minimum, and drive time is billed on top. Pads and straps are part of the hourly rate. Fuel surcharge, packing materials, valuation above the free basic coverage and storage each show as their own line.
Most piano jobs in the Valley are won or lost at the curb and the front steps. These are the things we check first.
Dry air works on a piano long before move day. The National Park Service museum handbook says air that is too dry shrinks and cracks wood and ivory, and it names musical instruments among the objects that react to their surroundings. A soundboard, a wooden case and older ivory keys all fit that description.
So we keep the trip short, keep the piano wrapped while it is outdoors and set it away from sunny windows and air vents at the new home.
A University of Arizona Cooperative Extension guide explains that swamp coolers cool a house by evaporating water, which adds humidity. It models dry summer days at 100 degrees and 10% humidity against monsoon days at 90 degrees and 50% humidity. A piano going from a swamp-cooled house to one with refrigerated air, or the reverse, rides through a big swing.
Give it a few weeks in its new room before you book a tuner. Mentors Moving & Storage has been moving households since 2020, and our Tempe office plans every piano job in the Valley.
I use Mentors Moving and Storage exclusively. I have sons who move frequently, and I am alway so pleased with the job Mentors does!! My youngest moved again in the middle of July of 2024. It was beastly hot, and he moved into a second story apartment! We had Andrew and Joseph, and they were AMAZING! They moved everything efficiently, with great care, and QUICKLY! They were also really nice guys! I highly recommend this company!
We just had our second move using Mentors Moving & Storage. This last move was as excellent as the first move. The 4 man crew were all very hard working and did an incredible job!! We will definitely use Mentors Moving again. Highly recommend.
These guys are incredible. Daniel responded to my online inquiry immediately with exact pricing and details, and offered to move us within two days, ON Easter. He sent a friendly reminder confirmation the day prior to the move, and he showed up (yes he worked alongside his guys on a holiday) with his guys right on time. They prepped the old house, and the new house when we got there, with tarps covering the carpet in the high traffic areas and padding on the doorways. They were hella fast at wrapping everything and getting it in the truck. They worked well as a team, they all had company shirts on, and were super personable, and patient with me and my wild kids. They were super respectful of our belongings and everything arrived in perfect condition.

We move pianos to and from homes in these areas. Each page covers moving there, and on any piano job we look at stairs, doorways and the path from the truck before move day.
We ask about the piano, the steps and any HOA hours, then set how many movers to send.
The case, lid and legs are wrapped in moving pads so no finish touches the board.
A grand rides on its side on the board. An upright stays standing. Straps hold both still.
Stairs and upstairs rooms are planned ahead, with enough movers to take the piano one step at a time.
We put the legs and lyre back on a grand and set the piano where you want it.
Summer piano jobs start early, and every start time fits your HOA or building hours.
A piano is often one part of a bigger move. These services from our Tempe office pair well with it.
Safes, pool tables, hot tubs and gym equipment planned the same way, with access checked before the date.

Our movers pack the rest of the house while the piano is wrapped, so one truck carries everything.

Send the piano type and stair count, and we reply with a written quote.
Yes. We measure the stairs, landing and door ahead of time and send enough movers to carry it on the piano board one step at a time. Tell us about tight turns when you call.
Yes. Summer piano jobs start early in the morning, and the piano stays wrapped and out of direct sun between the house and the truck.
That depends on whether your street is public or owned by the HOA. Private HOA streets follow association rules, so check move hours and truck parking with your HOA before the date.
Wait a few weeks so the wood can settle into the new room. The humidity change between homes can pull the tuning off in the meantime.
Yes. The piano goes on the same truck as the rest of your home, and the time it takes is part of your hourly total.
Yes. We book the elevator or plan the stairs, and we follow the building move hours your manager gives you.
Tell us the piano type, both addresses and the stairs at each one. Call (480) 619-8240 or send the form, and our Tempe office replies with a quote and a start time.
We only contact you about this request. Your number is never shared.
