The move went really well. Dan and his team were really responsive and their quote was very reasonable. When I scheduled them, they had warned me that they might have to reschedule the move to another day. Since my schedule was pretty flexible, I told them that was fine. I just needed it moved that week. They did call and reschedule but then showed up for our appointment on time. I had asked that they text me on route and they did so I was able to meet them at the house instead of just waiting. Dan was really professional and took care of our house and piano and the whole experience was great! I would definitely use them again.

The move itself was fine. They arrived within the window given. They came out before giving a bid to assess the stairs in the townhouse I was buying/moving the piano from. The piano was on the 3rd floor, so that side of the move was definitely tough and I agreed to 3 people coming for the job. It took them 40 minutes at the townhouse with 3 people from start to finish. Our home was less than 5 miles away (about 12 minute drive). Moving the piano into our home was literally 2 steps up from the driveway, through a sliding door, and right into the living room (very easy!). The total pack, move, and deliver time was 80 minutes. The disappointment with this was the price. They originally quoted $600, and then they came down to $500. I realized too late that I was still being charged a very high price (Another bid came in late for $280 with 3 people). The hourly rate I paid worked out to $125/hr/person. I would hire them again if they quoted me a more reasonable price. I would not hire them at the rate they charged me.

Hi Ms. [Member Name Removed], Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to leave us a positive review. In over 30 years of moving pianos we can confidently say that cheaper is not always better or even best. I'm not here to write you about the horror stories we've had to deal with when customers decide to go with the cheaper or cheapest piano mover only to find out that they need to call D & J Piano Movers to come and help them out when they get the piano stuck in a stairwell, or worse yet, dropped the piano, yes, dropped the piano, not to mention the majority of "piano movers" are NOT licensed with the P.U.C. in California which is mandatory. That is also one of the reasons other piano movers are able to offer such low rates. Trust me, Ms. [Member Name Removed] when I say, that hiring a Professional Piano Movers is your best insurance to protect your piano and household from damages. D & J walks through the doors of the most amazing customers in California and we strive to provide the best customer service and professional piano moving for the best price.

It went extremely well. Pick up/ drop off/ and social media updates all happened within 45mins! Overall extremely pleased with their care of our antique 1908 upright and our home, as they were very careful with our interior walls and porch steps.
Description of Work: Quick response time, and was able to schedule the piano moving the following Monday! They arrived right and schedule and were both very professional and efficient.

There was a hiccup with communication, at first. I had messaged the company through Angie's List to see if moving an upright piano from a downstairs location at our old home, to an upstairs room in our new home, was something they could do. I was contacted back and told that it could be done, and the cost would be $140.00. We went back and forth a few times with scheduling before I finally just called to schedule. At that time, I was told by the woman I spoke with (also the person I had been messaging back and forth with through Angie's List) that there had been a mistake and she had not realized it was going to be an upstairs move. She had then quoted $225. Feeling frustrated by the many lapses in customer service I had been recieving throughout our move (and the gross lack of accountability), I was reluctant to move forward. She then suggested we split the difference and requoted $175. Under many other circumstances, I would have just said, "fine" and been done with it, but I was REALLY frustrated by that point. Not to say that all of my frustration was due to her and this particular situation, I was just blown away by how many companies made so many mistakes, lacked accountability of it, and really just expected their customers to make up for it, be inconvenienced by it, or just accomodate the company. This was never my experince, having worked customer service for many years. Anyway, she finally admitted that she was the one messaging me through Angie's List and that she guessed she really hadn't read my whole message. After a pause, she said, "I guess we'll just have to eat this one and do it for the price I had originally quoted you.". As frustrating as that seemed to be for her, I truly appreciated that kind of customer service. People make mistakes, I understand. If she had admitted that from the start I probably would have continued to book at the $225 price. The mistake did not bother me as much as the lack of accountability about it until I read outloud to her our previous messages. Anyway, I booked the move. I was sent a text asking to be rescheduled the day before my move, but it was the last day of the month and we had to be out of our rental that day, so I was not able to accomodate their request. My husband was there for the move and he was EXTREMELY happy with how fast, professional and efficient the team was. There were two men (sorry, I don't have their names) and they were very skilled with what they needed and how to move the piano up the staircase. My husband was blown away bacause the furniture movers were not nearly as fast, efficient or professional and had scratched many things throughout our move, including walls and mouldings, that needed repair. We were very pleased with these two professionals (my husband took photos!) and we would absolutely recommend them. Just make sure you are VERY clear with the office about the scope of work you need done. I really do appreciate the company honoring their original quote, taking accountability for their error, and coming through to do an excellent job!

It went perfect! They were on time. Their time window was only 2 hours, not the 4 that most companies give. They communicated with me when they were about 30 minutes away. They clearly knew what they were doing. Every part of my piano was protected and wrapped like a baby. The same care was taken for setup at the new location. Very professional and courteous.

There were two piano movers that arrived on both ends of the trip and they were able load, and later unload the piano, within 10 minutes. They arrived within a previously stated time window on both ends of the trip. There was no damage to tiles in the entry way or door jam on either end of the trip. They even attached the detachable music stand and plugged the piano into the wall at the destination. They were very efficient and obviously experienced with the process. I checked the electronic piano wood finish after delivery to the destination and there was no damage of any kind. There were no bumps, no scratches, and the electronic parts were also 100% functional. The piano arrived in perfect condition. The electronic piano that was moved is a lighter weight musical instrument then a real piano with strings and a sounding board. So in similar circumstances the fee might be higher for a real piano. I plan to use the same piano moving company in the future for a different real piano. I won't bother researching another company because they were so good at getting the first move done for us.
Description of Work: The piano movers picked up an electronic piano and transported the piano approximately 95 miles for delivery the following day at the destination.

Things went very well and I was pleased with the service provided. I also thought the price was reasonable. I got a call from the company verifying pickup and was given a 2-hour time window for services. The crew arrived within the time period and promptly started working on moving my belongings. They were polite, courteous, and professional. Upon arriving at my new home, they asked where I would like my belongings placed and took time to fine tune the location. After completion of the job, they thanked me. I was very pleased with the communication, professionalism, and respect from the moving crew. In the event that I need a piano moved, I will highly recommend D&J Piano Movers.

When I first called,the person on the phone, Dan, was very nice and was able to give me a good price to move my piano. I had called on a Tuesday and he said that by Friday evening, he would have a better idea as to when he would be able to pick up and deliver my piano on Saturday. By Friday night, I did not hear from anyone so I called to see when my piano would be picked up. The lady on the phone was very nice and told me between 9-11am the next morning, but she was not able to tell me when it would be delivered until the next day. The next morning, again, no one called me so I had to call back to find out when the piano would be delivered so that I would be at home to wait. I was given the hours of 3-5pm. After the piano was picked up, my nephew called me to tell me that they came and the piano had been taken. Culturally, we do not wear our shoes in the house. My nephew said that when he asked if they could remove their shoes before entering the house, the younger gentleman explained that they could not because of risk of injury to their feet but if we had booties, they could put those on. My nephew did not have booties so they just entered with their shoes, which I completely understand, under the circumstances. When they arrived at my house, I met Dan first and I asked him if he would mind putting the booties on because we do not wear shoes in the house. I was shocked when Dan responded that he did mind and that he refused to put the booties on. So they moved the piano in with their shoes on. I have had services done before and I have never had anyone refuse to take their shoes off or outright refuse to put booties on. I think that as a service provider, you should respect the culture of the people you are working with. I also thought that they should've been the ones to call and let me know what their schedule was going to be instead of making me following up with them. As a result, I would not use their service again or recommend them to anyone else.

I was very happy with the piano moving service I received from Dand J piano movers. I got an estimate over the phone and that's the amount I paid. It cost a little more than I expected, because the piano was being moved from Hemet which is quite a distance from them. They showed up on time and took care of everything.

The initial call and quote went well. They had the lowest quote and they only moved pianos. We made an appointment and they not only kept the appointment but actually delivered the piano earlier than expected! You can call them on the morning of the move to confirm specific time range; they were pretty accurate. Piano was not damaged in any way. I couldn't have asked for a better job. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Description of Work: D and J had the lowest price to pick up and move a piano that I had purchased used from a homeowner near Pomona. I think it helped that the piano was close to their shop but I live in Culver City. Other places were farther away from Pomona and the quote was much higher. I'm also told that they only do piano moving which is a good sign as you don't really want a house mover to move your piano.

first emailed but got no response. then called and spoke with Dan who was very abrupt and quoted me $130 to move the piano to which i said no thanks. then got the email from Jenny who said it would be $110 which i just agreed to. she was nice in emails and gave a lot of info. but they would not give me an appt time in the morning saying i had to call that morning at 8am to schedule the two hour AM window. if i wanted to have an appt time i'd have to pay $60 more. 2 minutes before 8am i call the day of the move and they say i am not on the schedule blaming me that they didn't have the address and don't have a ticket. everyone has already left about 7am for other jobs. with this and that excuse they tell me they'll call at 11am for an appt time of 11am-1pm. 11:30 rolls around and i don't hear back so i call jenny again who says it'll be more around 2pm. i say to please have them call me 30 minutes before they arrive or whenever they leave so i can meet them there since i had been waiting around all day. i don't hear anything at 2pm so i call jenny again. no answer. 10 minutes later i get a call that they will be there in 20 minutes. i am on the way. 10 minutes later i get another call saying they are waiting there. i say i can't be there for another 20 minutes which is why i asked to be called 30 minutes in advance so i could meet them. they give me total lip and attitude. the guard at my gate told me he was bad mouthing me. he hung up on me twice on the phone and said to the guard "i'm not early - SHE's late" at this i said don't bother with the move and he wanted to beat me to it saying "we're not doing this job". i said GOODBYE this was my second attempt using them. the first time was 3 years ago when i first moved my piano. it happened to be a holiday when i scheduled the move. i asked about 5 times in advance - this is labor day, you are positive you can do the move? they assured me yes every single time. on that day no one showed up. i called and called and finally got in touch with someone saying - we're not working today. outraged i told them i had no one to move my piano. they showed up in a pickup truck to move my piano!!! i should have learned my lesson the first time.

Response from D & J PIANO MOVERS
We apologize for any inconvenience you may have incurred. It has been our experience in the over 30 yrs. of providing quality and professional piano moving services, that we do not give out exact times as always the guys schedule their work every morning. The reason for this is because the calls come in sometimes up until 7PM and this allows us to know what areas we are covering and how many trucks need to go out on any given day.The movers work on a 2 hour window and are very happy to contact our customers if they need a 30 minute or 20 minute call in advance to allow our customers the convenience of not having to "wait" around for us. In this day and age where everyone is working we try to accomodate our customers to meet their specific needs. For example, when the networks are doing commercials or TV shoots and need us to be at a specific time on location than we must charge an additional fee for that. It has never presented a problem for us. At times our customers have misunderstood us when we ask them to call the office on the morning of their move after 8 AM (the guys are done timing their work by than) to get their 2-hr window and sometimes they understand that to mean we will be at their home between 8 and 10 am, so this may very well be what happened in this case.
