Piano Moving Service
HOME /PIANO MOVING SERVICE
Piano Moving Service in Greater Newark & Union Areas, NJ
Whether you have a grand piano that you use daily or a smaller model with inherent family value, PALS’ piano moving service out of the greater Newark area is extensive and fine-tuned to perfection. We will treat your musical instrument with the utmost care to ensure we don’t damage or misplace anything.
Preparing for The Move
Most pianos weigh at least 300 pounds, and many weigh more than 700 pounds. As such, we’ve developed a systematic piano-moving process that preserves the integrity and functionality of each part. First, we complete a thorough visual inspection of the instrument, documenting every external part. To ensure seamless functionality at the moving destination, we safely and professionally remove each partially connected or separate piece, such as the bench, cover, legs, wheels, and music rack. Depending on the model, it may be wise to remove the fallboard as well.
The next step involves individually and meticulously wrapping the separate pieces in durable moving cloths. These cotton moving cloths are specifically designed to be dirt-, scratch-, and dampness-resistant. They create maximum protection for all piano parts while minimizing space used.
Wrapping and Padding the Piano
After we wrap the separate pieces, we gently set your piano on its side or bottom, directly onto a cloth-covered piano skid board. This equipment provides your instrument with a bump- and scratch-free experience through all stages of our greater Newark piano moving service. Depending on the size of your piano, we’ll double or triple wrap all surface area to safeguard every inch.
To further prepare your piano for the moving vehicle, we secure all cloth-wrapped areas with packing tape, which only ever touches the moving pads—never your piano. Then, we shrink wrap the entire padded piano. This is an extremely important step, as if the packing tape fails for any reason, the shrink wrap will automatically keep everything in place.
Finally, we carefully but firmly apply moving straps to the instrument. This helps us safely transition your piano in and out of our moving vehicle without relying on unbalanced manpower. These straps withstand extremely heavy weights and further allow us to move your instrument with delicacy.
No matter the weight or shape of your piano, our piano moving service in the greater Newark area is here to take all the worry and stress out of moving such a burdensome object.
Professional Long-Distance Movers in Northern & Central, NJ
While your moving frequency and needs may vary from the national household average, you don’t need to undertake such a complex and important life event by yourself. PALS Moving Service is a group of professional long-distance movers in Northern & Central NJ areas—and we’re here to help.
Prepare Your Items for Moving
Whether you’re moving a short distance or moving out of state, our long-distance movers have refined our moving procedures such that our team never forgets a single step. We’ve also prepared a list of steps you can implement to minimize stress and make it easier to smoothly transition all your possessions.
First, get a pen and notebook. Then write down a column for each of the main rooms in your current house. Jot down each item that you or our team will need to pack, so you won’t miss anything in the hustle and bustle. If you’d like to donate any items, set those aside in a separate area.
Identify Your Essential Items
On a fresh page, create a column for each of the main rooms in your destination house. Referencing the lists from your current house, write down only essential items you’ll need in the first two weeks. Now, you have a list of all your belongings, as well as all the items you’ll need right away. The next step is to designate two boxes for each room in your new house: essential items and non-essential items. As you pack items in each box accordingly, you can cross them off the lists.
Unpacking in a new home can overwhelm anyone, and it’s not efficient (or worthwhile) to try to unpack everything in your first day, or even your first week. By building these lists of essential items, you’ll have clear guidelines for yourself and your movers on what needs to go where.
Office Relocation Moving Service
Office Relocation & Moving Service in Greater Newark, NJ
When your company sees profits rise and has new employees every quarter, it’s easy to get thrilled about everything positive happening. Another great part of business growth may be a larger office, but moving everything to a new space is never fun. That’s where our greater Newark area office moving service comes in! To help you move your office equipment more quickly and easily, follow these three handy tips that we’ve refined over the last few years.
On the day of the move you need to be present. There is paperwork to sign and you need to
show the movers exactly what is being moved. After the movers have loaded the truck you will
be ask to do a walk through. That is the time to point out anything that may have been missed
once the truck drives away they are done.
At the unload they will place boxes in rooms based on the rooms written on the boxes
(ie., bedroom, kitchen, garage). Furniture will be placed in the location you specify.
It is helpful if you already have a basic idea where you want furniture placed.
If the movers have to keep rearranging and switching furniture around it will take longer
and you are paying hourly.
If you have young children it is a good idea to do the move while they are in school or
daycare. You will be busy with the movers and it will be difficult for you to give your
child the attention he/she needs. It’s a much less stressful day for you if you children
are not home on moving day.
