Home › Service Areas › Piano Movers — Pasadena
Historic craftsman homes, caltech-area apartments and old town condos — served by Best Movers LA's licensed, insured, W-2 crews.
A piano move in Pasadena done wrong can cause thousands in damage in seconds. Our piano-trained crews work with custom skidboards and furniture pads to move upright and grand pianos safely through Pasadena's historic Craftsman homes, Caltech-area apartments and Old Town condos — stairs, tight doorways, and all.
Every piano move starts with a route walkthrough: doorway widths, staircase angles, hallway turns, floor surfaces. Grand pianos travel with legs removed, lid secured, body on a piano board wrapped in furniture pads. Uprights move on custom skidboards with straps — never tilted or dragged.
Pasadena access: Wide Craftsman porches and period doorways handled with door-frame padding. We solve routing challenges before move day, not during.
Our piano crews are trained specifically for instruments — not general movers assigned a piano on the day. We photograph condition before and after every move.
Flat price per job — confirmed before we start. Old Town and Caltech areas have metered lots; residential streets are open.
Yes — baby grands and full grands moved by trained crews using piano board, disassembled legs, and full blanket wrap. Route planned in advance.
Yes — stair complexity is quoted upfront in the flat price. No surprise charges.
Yes — any move shifts string tension slightly. Wait 2–4 weeks for the piano to acclimate before tuning.
Pasadena's historic homes often house antique uprights and grands with sentimental and real value, frequently up Craftsman porch steps. We treat the old instruments gently, disassemble grands correctly, protect the original floors, and handle Old Town's parking rules when the move is downtown.
