AD Movers has moved pianos as part of New Orleans moves since 2013. Our piano movers in New Orleans strap uprights to a padded piano board, take the legs and lyre off baby grands and grands, and plan the route through raised front steps, narrow halls and tight landings before the piano moves an inch. Pianos carry a specialty charge on top of the hourly rate. Licensed (LPSC #8127) and fully insured. See a ballpark price in about 60 seconds.
Piano Moving Services in New Orleans
A piano weighs several hundred pounds, and most of that weight sits in a cast-iron plate inside the case. That is why the type of piano decides how many movers come, what gear they bring and how long the job takes.
Spinets, consoles, studios and full uprights stay in one piece. The crew pads the case, straps it to a piano board, and keeps it standing on the board so the top-heavy case cannot tip on a step.
The lid comes off, the pedal lyre comes out and the legs are removed while the piano rests on its straight side on the board. Each part is padded and travels separately, then everything goes back on in the new room.
Parlor and longer grands follow the same steps as a baby grand but need more hands and more room to turn. Grand and baby grand moves are quoted by phone, so call and tell us the length, the stairs and the doorways.
Moving the piano to another room, upstairs, or out to the porch while floors are redone is a short job but still a piano job. The same board, straps and floor protection come out for a twenty-foot move.

In business since 2013, 1,000+ moves. Our crews are AD Movers employees, background-checked, and they answer to the owner, Adonay Pineda. The people who quote your piano are the people who send the crew.
Licensed and fully insured. Our state license from the Louisiana Public Service Commission is LPSC license #8127, and the company is fully insured. You can look the license up yourself before move day.
How a Piano Move Goes
A sofa can be tilted, spun and carried by any two people. A piano cannot. This is the order our crew works in on a normal piano move.
How It Works
Most piano moves happen inside a full move, but we also move a single piano. Either way, booking takes three steps, and the office answers 7am to 7pm, seven days a week.
Use the form above for a ballpark in about 60 seconds, or call 504-237-0855. For a baby grand or grand, call so we can quote it by phone. Tell us the piano type, both addresses and the stairs at each end.
We ask how many steps there are, whether there is a turn, and how wide the narrowest door is. A photo of the piano and the stairs from your phone helps. That decides crew size and whether the legs come off.
The crew protects floors and door frames, pads and straps the piano, carries it to the truck and secures it. At the new home they set it where you want it, put back any legs or lyre, and check the pedals before leaving.
Experienced Piano Movers
First, what kind of piano it is, and for a grand, roughly how long it is from keyboard to tail. Second, how many steps there are at each house, including raised front porches, and whether any stairs turn. Third, the narrowest doorway on the way out. With those three answers the crew shows up with the right number of people and the right gear for New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, Harahan, Gretna, Harvey or anywhere in the metro.

Equipped for Piano Moving
Full moves use our own truck. On a piano job the crew brings a padded piano board, heavy-duty dollies, thick moving pads, straps for the board and the truck wall, and floor runners. Your piano rides tied off and padded, not sliding around an empty box truck.

Where We Move Pianos
Older Uptown and Garden District houses often mean raised front steps and tall interior doors. Newer homes in Metairie, Kenner and on the Westbank tend to mean an upstairs bonus room. We move pianos in all of them.
Common Questions
Your piano is moved by AD Movers employees who report to the owner, Adonay Pineda. The specialty charge and the hours are in your quote before you book, and nothing is added without your OK. If something is not right, tell us the same day and the owner will call you.
Ready to Move Your Piano?
Fully insured piano movers in New Orleans, Metairie and the metro. Get a ballpark in about 60 seconds, or call about a grand.
Let it settle before tuning.
Give the piano a few weeks in the new room before your tuner comes, so the tuning holds.
Pick the spot with care.
An inside wall away from windows, exterior doors and AC vents keeps temperature and humidity swings down.
Try the pedals and keys while we are there.
On a grand, press each pedal before the crew leaves, so the lyre can be checked on the spot.
Keep the casters off soft floors.
Caster cups under the wheels protect wood and vinyl floors and keep the piano from creeping.
