Piano, Safe & Specialty Moving

Uprights, grands, gun safes, and the heavy odd pieces — boards, ramps, and a crew that's done it.

Some pieces aren’t a two-handles-and-go job. An upright that’s lived in a Berlin parlor for decades, a baby grand headed to a bayfront home in Ocean City, a gun safe in a Salisbury basement, or a slate pool table all need their own gear and a crew that has moved them before. Always Moving handles specialty work starting at $365.

We bring piano boards, ramps, four-wheel dollies, and heavy straps, and we plan the path out the door before anything moves — measuring the turn, protecting the stairs, and setting boards across thresholds and soft ground.

Stairs, Tight Turns, and Soft Coastal Ground

The Shore’s older homes have the narrow staircases, and its waterfront lots have the soft yards, so a heavy piece often calls for hoisting, pivoting, or planking a firm path to the truck. Our crew chiefs size every one of those up first rather than muscling it and hoping.

One Quote, Insured Like the Rest

Specialty moves can stand alone or ride along with a full house move; either way you get a written price up front and the same up-to-$1,000,000 cargo coverage we put on everything. A $135 deposit holds the date. When a job calls for it, we’ll add a third mover for the heaviest carries, and we’ll tell you straight if a piece needs a rigging approach beyond what a standard move covers rather than promise something on the phone we can’t do on the stairs.

“Garrett's crew showed up at 8 on the dot, which honestly surprised me after the last company I used left me waiting half a day. They wrapped my grandmother's china so carefully it all survived the trip across town without a scratch. The flat quote they emailed me was the exact number I paid at the end, no surprise add-ons.”

“Moving into a third-floor condo off Coastal Highway in the middle of June sounded like a nightmare with the boardwalk crowds, but these guys planned around the elevator window the building gave us and never missed it. Two movers, fast and polite, and nothing got dinged in the tight hallway.”

“Our place on the historic side of Berlin has those skinny old staircases and a doorway that barely clears a sofa. The team measured everything before they lifted a finger and got our sleeper couch up without taking the banister apart. Same three faces the whole day, no random subcontractors wandering through my house.”

Service Questions

Can you move a grand piano up or down a flight of stairs?
Yes. We board and strap the piano, measure the staircase and turns first, and use enough crew to control it the whole way rather than rushing the carry.
Do you move gun safes and pool tables too?
We do. Heavy safes and slate pool tables ride on four-wheel dollies and ramps, and a slate table is broken down and rebuilt so the bed isn't stressed in transit.
What does a specialty move start at?
Pianos, safes, and other heavy specialty pieces start at $365, with the exact price set in writing once we know the item, the stairs, and the ground at both ends.
Can a piano move ride along with my house move?
Absolutely. Add it to a full house move and we'll fold it into one written estimate, or book it on its own — either way it gets the same insured handling.
