Welcome to Dad & Brad Piano Moving
Over the years we have seen
piano after piano damaged beyond repair because someone didn’t know how
to move it safely and securely!
You can hire a general moving
company that is experienced in moving furniture, but chances are they
have not been specially trained to handle and maneuver a piano correctly
or safely.
That’s right, moving a
piano correctly, safely & securely requires specific knowledge, skills,
techniques, training, & equipment.
It takes more than muscles
and a truck or van to do it right!
We have specialized in the piano moving industry for over 30 years!
Having that much experience moving pianos
exclusively, we know what to do no matter the size of the piano or the
manner in which it needs to be moved. That is why we at Dad &
Brad Piano Moving have spent so much time developing the best
techniques to maneuver and move your piano correctly and safely – EVERY
TIME!
I am sure that you, some
buddies, or just some muscled up guy could move it, but what if it is
damaged in the process?
We have moved every type of
piano into every type of environment possible. We know what it takes to
do it right, and we have seen what happens when it is done WRONG! The
results can be catastrophic!
If you are looking to hire a
moving company for the job and they offer you a low bid, it is probably
due to the fact that they are not operating under an official business
license, or they do not offer or have very little insurance to cover
their “at fault” damages to your piano.
Let’s be honest here, if you
hire someone to move your piano and they damage it,
wouldn’t
you expect them to pay for the damages?
Did you know that when a
piano moving company says they are “insured”, they could be misleading
you?
There are 3 different types of
insurance that the moving company can actually claim to have, but two of
them would leave you with a total loss if they damaged or destroyed your
piano.
1)
"Self Insured" -
this in all honesty isn’t insurance at all. They are telling you that
if you can prove to them first that they damaged your piano they will
write you a check out of their own pocket to pay for the damages. What
if you had a very expensive piano. They may not take responsibility for
their actions and you may end up spending so much money in litigation
costs taking them to court, that you would be out an even greater loss.
2) "Value"
coverage. The maximum they can pay for any
damages allocated by the Federal Trade Commission is $.60 per pound.
That means that if they damage your $5,000 piano, they only have to
pay you $360 in damages for that piano. Not a very good deal huh?
For them sure, but not for you!
Yes, Value coverage is legal!
3) "Accidental"
policy coverage. This is very expensive – which explains why very few
carry it – but it is an actual policy they carry to pay for damages or
destruction of the piano while under their care.
To make sure your piano is in the best hands,
the companies that provide this type of coverage are the only ones that
are willing to make the investment to protect your piano.
No matter
what type of
insurance coverage they offer, request a copy of their current policy.
Before they ever put their
hands on your piano, you should agree on a “value” of your piano’s
worth, and it should be in writing on the estimate before the move
occurs.
I know, I know, all you want
is your piano moved, RIGHT?
To help you find the
best piano moving company in the area, we created a comprehensive mover
evaluation. You can use it to compare all the movers objectively and
find the best most reputable piano moving company.
