Piano Removal

Need an old piano removed safely? Rodeo Junk Removal provides full-service piano removal across Southern Middle Tennessee, Middle Tennessee, and North Alabama with free on-site estimates, upfront pricing, and careful heavy-item removal.

Pianos are bulky, extremely heavy, and hard to move through tight spaces. Whether it’s an upright piano, console, spinet, or another large piano setup, we’ll assess the access, confirm the plan, remove it carefully, and haul it off so you don’t have to risk injury or damage.

  • Fully insured & professional crew
  • Free on-site estimate (final pricing confirmed in person)
  • Upfront all-in price (you approve before we start)
  • Careful heavy-item removal planning
  • Quick tidy / clean finish

How Piano Removal Works

Steps:

Reach out

Call, text, or request an estimate online. Tell us what type of piano you have and where it’s located (main floor, basement, upstairs, etc.).

Free on-site estimate

We assess the piano type, weight, access route, stairs, and tight turns, then give you one clear all-in price.

Careful removal

We plan the route, protect the path as needed, and remove the piano carefully from where it sits.

Haul-off + tidy finish

We load it up, haul it away, and do a quick tidy of the area we worked in.

Before We Remove Your Piano

You don’t need to move the piano yourself. If you can, these quick steps help the job go smoother: If the piano is upstairs or in a basement, tell us during scheduling so we bring the right crew size.

  • Clear the path from the piano to the exit (hallways, doorways, stairs)
  • Remove loose items from the piano top, bench, and nearby area
  • Tell us about stairs, tight turns, or narrow doors ahead of time
  • Let us know the piano type (upright, console, spinet, baby grand, etc.)
  • Tell us if the piano has sentimental items inside/around it so we can confirm what stays

If the piano is upstairs or in a basement, tell us during scheduling so we bring the right crew size.

If you’re not sure what details matter, no problem — we’ll go over it during the estimate.


What Affects the Price of Piano Removal?

Piano removal pricing depends on piano type, access, stairs, route difficulty, and labor required. We keep it straightforward and explain it clearly during the free on-site estimate.

Piano type & size

Different pianos remove differently. Uprights, consoles, spinets, and larger pianos vary in size, weight, and handling needs.

Stairs & floor level

Basements, upstairs rooms, exterior steps, and split-level entries increase labor and planning.

Access route difficulty

Tight hallways, narrow doors, sharp turns, long carries, and uneven paths can affect removal time.

Weight & handling complexity

Pianos are extremely heavy and awkwardly balanced, which affects crew effort and safe removal planning.

What else is included

Bench removal, accessory items, and additional heavy-item haul-off can affect the total scope and price.

We’ll explain the price in plain language so it makes sense. Final pricing is confirmed in person during the free on-site estimate, and you approve it before we start.


What’s Included in Our Piano Removal Service

Our piano removal service is full-service, so you don’t have to attempt the move yourself or figure out how to haul it off.

  • On-site walkthrough and clear pricing before work starts
  • Scope confirmation (piano only or piano + bench/accessories)
  • Careful removal from where the piano sits
  • Loading and haul-off
  • Quick tidy of the work area

If you only need the piano removed and want to keep the bench or other items, we can price that too.


Donation & Disposal Options

Some pianos can be donated, but many older pianos aren’t accepted due to condition, tuning needs, or moving costs. We’ll always aim for responsible disposal, and if donation is realistic for your piano, we can discuss options during the estimate.


Important Notes Before Scheduling Piano Removal

  • Pianos are very heavy and awkward to move safely — please do not try to drag or tip them yourself.
  • Tell us about stairs, tight turns, or difficult access when you call so we can plan correctly.
  • If your piano is attached to a platform, built-in stage area, or other structure, tell us before the estimate.
  • If you have a baby grand or grand piano, let us know up front so we can confirm scope and the safest removal plan.

Not sure what type of piano you have? A quick description is enough — we’ll confirm details during the estimate.
