Beachfront apartments, ocean ave high-rises and ocean park walk-ups — served by Best Movers LA's licensed, insured, W-2 crews.
A piano move in Santa Monica 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 Santa Monica's beachfront apartments, Ocean Ave high-rises and Ocean Park walk-ups — 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.
Santa Monica access: Most buildings have no loading zone — we stage cones the night before. 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. Permit parking west of Lincoln requires City of Santa Monica temp no-park signs (5-day lead).
