Their communication was great. They called ahead as promised and showed up on time. All the staff were courteous and took care with padding my furniture and taking care not to damage my walls/doors during the move process.
This was our first time using a moving company. The driver (Annie) and the crews at both origin and destination were fabulous! I would highly recommend this company!

| Piano moving in Pontiac | Details |
|---|---|
| Pontiac movers offering this | 1 of 2 (50.0%) |
| National average | 72.52% |
| Top-rated Pontiac piano movers | TWO MEN AND A TRUCK, Mordue Moving and Storage |
| Upright piano | $584 to $1,095 |

Upright pianos weigh 400 to 800 lbs. Grand pianos exceed 1,200 lbs.
