I needed to have a piano moved from one house to another. I was a little anxious about this because it was a 50+ year old player piano, very heavy and needed to go down a set of steps. When I requested an estimate, Ted responded back quickly. The price was so much less than I expected. Ted was very accommodating to my schedule. The gentlemen were on time, very professional and handled my piano with great care. I would definitely hire them again should the need arise.

Response from Johnson's Piano Moving
Our records show this job was completed on Monday 7/24/17 not 7/12/17. Our job ticket shows she was quoted $325. She actually paid by credit card $308.75 with the 5% Angie's List Discount. I don't know why this review is coming in nearly 2 months later as this is the first time I am hearing about "hardwood scratched badly".

Johnson's Piano Moving has the most amazing group of guys I have ever seen. They are piano moving geniuses. They can do what the other piano movers said would be impossible and they did it in less than an hour! I called on a Monday and spoke with Ted Jarboe, firmed up arrangements with Ted on Tuesday for a fair price (LESS than some of the unskilled haulers I'd called), and Ted and a 5-man crew showed up right on time Thursday morning. Ted has been moving pianos for 37 years and he's a master at knowing how to maneuver huge, heavy objects through small, unforgiving spaces, all without putting a scratch on the piano or the surrounding rooms. He was the only person I called who actually sounded like he understood how difficult this would be and knew what needed to be done to move the piano safely. The crew performed unbelievable feats of strength, leverage, and smarts, and they were polite and good-natured to boot. I can't recommend them highly enough. Thanks, guys!
Description of Work: I needed to move a vintage upright grand piano (meaning large and heavy, 55" high and 700-800 lbs.) from my basement rec room, up a narrow 12-step stairway, into a small kitchen and out the door, to a neighbor's house a mile away. The professional piano movers who moved it to my rec room 25 years ago said it would never leave the house in 1 piece because moving it back up the stairs would be impossible!

I should have done a video. The workers knew exactly how to handle this one. Using ramps, a dolly, protective coverings, they had it done in 20 minutes. They covered the outside concrete steps with padding so that the piano was protected at all times. Move went flawlessly. The lead worker laid it all out and he and his three helpers were cooperative, cheerful and careful. And, it was hard work. Came out great. Don't plan to move this instrument for a while, but when I do, I'm calling Johnson. And, they only move pianos. They do it right.
Description of Work: Needed a studio (61" x 18" x 45" high) piano (480 lbs) moved from ground level garage, up one flight of outside stairs (about 18 steps with a right turn half way up), into foyer, up four steps on hardwood floor and down one step into the living room.

I read a lot of good reviews on this company, that is why I choose them. But I am really disappointed for two reasons: 1. they forget to get caster cup. After a few minutes, I called them to come back to get the caster cup since I don't want piano to hurt my wood floor in another house, they said it is too far. The lesson is that please remember by yourselves that let them take caster cup, otherwise they will ignore it. 2. When they come into your house, they will strongly imply that they need the tips even though the piano hasn't been moved to another house. Again, this happened to me, but they have a lot of good reviews and so make your own decision.

Response from Johnson's Piano Moving
The customer called one day before to change his appointment to day before. In order to accommodate him we overloaded our schedule. He stated he could not keep his original appointment as a result we put him as last job of the day of an already busy schedule. As far as tips are concerned that is his personal decision but obviously he was upset about the coasters being left. If he would have kept his original appointment I doubt we would have had any of these issues.

Smooth and easy, like they do it a hundred times a day. Took them all of maybe 10 minutes.
Description of Work: Moved an old upright piano that weighed a ton from neighbors driveway (two doors down) into our living room. So rolled it out neighbors driveway to alley, down alley and along sidewalk, then rolled it up ramps over steps (set of 3, then another set of 5) up to our front porch, then up into house.
