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 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
Uprights from $360
Pianos are very delicate, extremely heavy instruments, some weighing up to 1,200 lbs, 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. In Scarborough, an upright move starts from $360, 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; accurate estimates also require details such as the piano's weight, make, and model. This is reflected in the quotation you will receive, including the final cost, and there are no hidden fees.
Stairs, tight spaces, and building access
Checked before we quote
For easy access to ground-level apartments, such as those on the first floor, there is little to no planning required. But if you are moving into a third-floor walk-up, or into a Woburn bungalow that has a 28" door, then logistics will require much more planning, and the quote also depends on the pickup and delivery location, especially for condos and older homes with tight access. 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
No per-km surprises
The rates for moving pianos locally in Scarborough are not the same as GTA rates, and longer routes within Ontario are priced differently as well. Regardless of where pianos are being moved, transporting them safely from point A to point B is a combination of the truck, crew time and fuel. After reviewing transportation logistics, clients receive a written estimate. 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
Quoted separately
We provide separate quotes for storage services, disposal, or specialty instrument handling. We can store your piano while you are between homes in the GTA, need temporary storage, or are doing a long distance move from Scarborough to Ottawa. If you need a place to store your delicate instrument while you are waiting for your new residence to be ready and the new location to be prepared, we have monitored storage space available for your piano. 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.
Why Choose Us
You can trust us: since 2017 we've completed 600+ piano moves, and 96% of our clients have come back or referred someone to us. That is not just an advertising statistic; it is the result of being punctual and not damaging customers' goods. We have clear pricing; we quote you before arriving at your house and you will not see a fuel charge or a per-kilometre fee at the end of your service.
There are no hidden charges. The amount in the quote is inclusive of the cost of carrying your piano in an advanced truck, and there are no hidden fees because the quote covers the full move, including the straps we will use to hold it in position during transit and the process of carrying it upstairs to the designated room. With an extremely delicate instrument, one wrong move can cause damage, which is why our team follows dedicated procedures to move the piano safely. If the stairs match what you told us, the price doesn't move.
Our piano moving service, trucks, and personnel are fully insured, so if anything happens, the insurance company will compensate you. So far, we haven't had a single damage claim.

FAQ
How much does it cost to move a piano in Scarborough?
The cost of moving a piano in Scarborough depends on the type of piano, the distance, and any obstacles on the way: how many stairs there are and whether a condo elevator has to be booked before moving day. Local moves start from $360 for a spinet or regular upright, from $450 for a heavy upright or baby grand, and $550–$700 for a semi-concert or 8 ft grand. We will quote you a fixed price before the day you move, with no additional charges, and the price quoted will be the final cost 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, and we also handle condo and high-rise piano moves in North York.
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?
It's fully covered. We carry liability insurance and full valuation coverage on all instruments. Since 2017, in 600+ moves, we've never had a damage claim. For what Ontario law says about moving contracts and estimates, see the province's advice on hiring movers.
How far in advance should I book?
For local Scarborough moves, 3–5 business days is usually enough, and a local upright move usually takes 1.5–2.5 hours, while grands and more complex moves take longer. Weekends fill up faster. Long-distance moves across Ontario or Canada need about two weeks.
Do you offer piano storage near Scarborough?
For a few weeks or a few months, in climate-controlled storage. Useful when you're between moves or waiting on possession.
