Do You Move Pianos and Antiques in Northbrook?

Do You Move Pianos and Antiques in Northbrook?

Last updated: October 2026

Frequently. Large Northbrook homes often have both, and both fold into the main move on the same day.

That's the convenient part. Very convenient. You don't need one company for the furniture, another for the piano, and a third for the antiques. Each one would bring its own date and its own crew through the same freshly painted doorway. Everything moves together, on the same day, with the same plan.

Pianos

Uprights. Padded and strapped on a piano board.

Grands and baby grands. Partly taken apart first. The legs and pedals come off with the music stand and lid. Then the piano rides on its side on a skid board. Read can you move a grand piano.

Digital pianos. Light disassembly, far simpler than acoustics. Read do you move digital pianos and keyboards.

Basements and stairs. If the staircase won't work, the window or balcony will. Read what if my piano won't fit up the staircase.

Plan to have your tuner come out once the piano has settled into its new home.

Antiques

Antiques get extra care. Always. Each piece is wrapped on its own. Mirrors come off dressers, tops lift off sideboards, and doors come off wardrobes when that makes the move safer. For oversized, glass-faced, or high-value pieces, we build custom crates ourselves. Read do you build custom crates for art, mirrors, and fragile items.

Grandfather clocks

Clocks are one of the most common heirlooms. We prepare them ourselves, so you don't need to do anything before we arrive. Read how do you prepare a grandfather clock for the move.

Why same-day matters

When the piano and the antiques move with the rest of the house, the whole home is set up at once. There's no waiting for a second appointment. Everything arrives together, and the crew can place the piano and the heirlooms exactly where they belong while they're placing everything else.

Planning for it

Tell us what you have. Piano type, antiques, clocks, and anything else that needs special care.

Mention the stairs. Especially if the piano lives in a basement or upstairs.

Measure the new spot. Make sure the piano and big antiques will fit where they're going.

We size the crew around the specialty items, so they don't slow down the rest of the move. Read how big a crew does a Northbrook house move need.

Coverage

Every move includes our standard coverage, which is based on weight. Pianos and antiques can be worth far more than their weight suggests. For valuable pieces, you can buy full coverage insurance through us or through your own insurer.

Pricing

Piano moves are priced by piano type, stairs, and distance. When the piano is part of a house move, it's planned into the same estimate. Read how much does piano moving cost in Chicago.

Pianos and antiques are covered on our Northbrook movers page, our piano moving service, and our antique furniture moving service, all part of our moving services.
