The Clock Keeps Running on Piano Moving

and So Does the Uncertainty

Pianos are heavy, awkward and easy to damage, and hourly movers charge for every careful minute. Add a staircase and a tight turn, and the price is anyone's guess.

Wall clockThat's a lot of uncertainty for something this valuable.

Red Cat does it differently.

We agree on the price before we come, so the stairs and the careful handling are already in it.

Hourly vs. Flat Rate

Why Let the Clock Decide What You Pay?

A piano move takes exactly as long as it needs: the board, the straps, the stair work. Hourly piano movers bill for that care; our price for it is agreed before we arrive.
