Scarborough Piano Movers - Move Pianos Services
Scarborough has a unique vibe from other areas in Toronto. Many properties in Scarborough are older-style semi-detached homes and split levels, while new developments can be seen along Sheppard and McCowan. We have moved pianos through all of these types of buildings, including upright and grand pianos on ground levels as well as on the sixth floor – we always show up with appropriate tools to make sure the job is done!
Please call us at (647) 870-1646 and we will help you.

Piano Moving Cost in Scarborough — What You're Actually Paying For
The cost of moving a piano locally in Scarborough can vary widely depending on the layout of your area and how easily we can access the building. Local moves generally start from $360, and below are the typical prices for the most common types of pianos our Scarborough clients move. All prices include one month of free climate-controlled storage and full piano insurance.
| Piano Type | Cost | Crew & Access |
|---|---|---|
| Spinet, apartment-size, small/regular upright | from $360 | 2 movers, main floor (up to 3 stairs included) |
| Heavy upright, baby grand | from $450 | 2 movers, main floor (up to 3 stairs included) |
| Semi-concert grand, 8 ft grand | $550–$700 | 2 movers, main floor (up to 3 stairs included) |
What drives the price:
Type and weight of the piano
Pianos are very delicate, heavy instruments, and the different styles of pianos all require specific information and experience to ensure that they can be moved properly. You need to hire a piano mover who has the training, knowledge, and tools necessary to safely move your expensive instrument. Moving a piano in Toronto typically costs between $300 and $500, but this will vary based on the size of your piano, whether you need to move it up or down stairs, how far it is from where you currently have it to where you want to move it, and any other factors that affect transporting your piano. This is reflected in the quotation you will receive, which will not include any hidden charges.
Stairs, tight spaces, and building access
For easy access to ground-level apartments, such as those on the first floor, there is little to no planning required. However, if you are moving into a Condo on the third level of a Woburn Bungalow that has a 28" door, then logistics will require much more planning. Prior to quoting the cost for your relocation we will evaluate: the number of steps leading to the third level, both the width and height of the staircase, how much headroom there will be on either side of the staircase, and whether or not freight reservation and time restrictions have been placed on any move-in windows as directed by your condominium association.
Distance
The rates for moving pianos locally in Scarborough are not the same as GTA rates, nor are prices the same as for long distances within Ontario. Regardless of where pianos are being moved, transporting them safely from point A to point B is a combination of renting the truck and crew time plus using fuel for the move. We will provide you with an all-inclusive quote prior to your piano relocation to avoid any surprise per-km rates added at the end of the job. Safe transport methods and careful handling are part of any local piano transport.
Additional services
We provide separate quotes for storage, disposal, or specialty instrument handling, and are happy to provide an entire service if you would like or just move you. We can store your items while you are between homes in the GTA, or doing a long distance move from Ontario to Ottawa. If you need a place to store your delicate instruments while you are waiting for your new residence to be ready, we have monitored storage space available for your items. Our piano moving services ensure that all of your valuable piano(s) will be transported safely. We will keep you informed of the progress of your order during the entire process.

How We Move Your Piano in Scarborough
Whether it's a walk-up near Kennedy, a Woburn bungalow, or a high-rise condo, here's exactly how our Scarborough piano movers handle every move.
01
Estimate & Preparation
You can get an estimate for your move by contacting us by phone or filling out our online form. Our managers will review your building and access (steps, door size, elevator), give you a price, confirm the date, and arrange all the details with you in advance — no hidden costs.
02
Piano Packing & Protection
We remove the piano legs and lay your piano flat on protective padding, then secure it with extra protection — piano boards, moving blankets, and stretch wrap — so all surfaces are protected before it leaves your home.
03
Piano Transportation
We use ramps and floor dollies to move the piano from your home into the truck, then secure it with safety straps so it can't shift in transit. We plan the best route through Scarborough to keep vibration and movement to a minimum on moving day.
04
Unloading & Installation
Upon arrival, we carefully unload the piano, take it to the appropriate floor, reassemble it, and set it up in your new location. If needed, we'll also help arrange a time for tuning so your piano is ready to be played.

FAQ
How much does it cost to move a piano in Scarborough?
The cost of moving a piano in Scarborough depends on several factors including the type of piano, distance, and if there are any obstacles to moving the piano such as stairs; how many; and if a condo elevator must be booked prior to moving day. We will quote you a fixed price before the day you move, with no additional charges. The price quoted will be the total amount charged for moving your piano.
Do you move pianos in Scarborough condos and high-rises?
Yes, we can assist you with reserving a freight elevator, coordinating with your building's manager, and scheduling your move in accordance with your building's moving-in schedule. Some of the places in Scarborough where we continually do piano moves are the Scarborough City Centre corridor and the newer buildings along Sheppard East.
Can you move a piano down to a basement in Scarborough?
Yes, moving a piano out of a basement is one of the most frequent requests from residents of Scarborough. Older bungalows in Guildwood, Cliffside and Woburn frequently have pianos that are either moving into or out of a basement. We are experienced at moving pianos through narrow staircases and will evaluate the route before we commit to doing the job.
Is my piano insured during the move?
Every piano we move is fully covered. We carry liability insurance and full valuation coverage on all instruments. In over five years and 600+ moves, we've never had a damage claim. For more on Ontario moving insurance requirements, see ontario.ca.
What types of pianos do you move in Scarborough?
All types — upright pianos of every size, baby grands, full grands, digital and hybrid pianos, and specialty instruments like organs and harps. See our upright piano moving page and grand piano moving page for details.
How far in advance should I book?
For local Scarborough moves, 3–5 business days is usually enough. Weekends fill up faster. Long-distance moves across Ontario or Canada need two weeks minimum.
Do you offer piano storage near Scarborough?
Yes. We offer short-term and long-term storage in a climate-controlled facility. Useful when you're between moves or waiting on possession.
