What to know about Piano moving
Piano moving is specialized work. Depending on the model, a piano is heavy, top-heavy or awkward, and it combines a finished wooden case, a cast-iron plate holding the strings under great tension and a delicate action made of many small moving parts. A crew that moves pianos regularly knows how to balance and secure one on a staircase, through a doorway and in the truck, and brings equipment a general moving crew may not have.
Read our full guide to Piano movingWhat changes in Montreal
We list 19 areas inside Montreal on their own pages, because a service area is drawn by each pro and does not always reach the whole city. For piano move, the part of town matters as much as the city.
Montreal is the principal city of a wider area we list under the name Greater Montreal, which takes in 63 other places. A pro's service area might be Montreal on its own or the whole of it — we match on the one they gave us.
Montreal publishes its own building-permit page, and it is linked below beside the rules that apply in Quebec. Whether piano move needs a permit is answered there, not in a quote.
Our Quebec guide has no rule written for this trade, so there is none below. That is not the same as nothing applying: ask for proof of insurance, and for anything that touches gas, wiring or drains, ask who is certified to do it.

- Distance between the two homes
- Stairs, elevators and parking at each end
- Packing and unpacking services
- Heavy or specialty items, such as pianos
- Date and time of year

How to choose piano movers in Montreal
- Ask for a written estimate based on an in-person or video walkthrough, not only a phone call.
- Find out whether the price is fixed or based on actual time, weight or volume.
- Ask what coverage is included if something is lost or damaged, and what extra coverage costs.
- Be cautious of movers who ask for a large deposit up front or won't give you a written contract.
- For condos and apartments, check that the mover can work within your building's elevator booking and loading rules.
Questions to ask piano movers before you hire
- Is your estimate a fixed price, or will it change based on actual time or weight?
- What coverage is included if something is damaged or lost?
- Are there extra charges for stairs, long carries, heavy items or waiting time?
- Will your own employees do the move, or will you use subcontractors?
- How much deposit do you need, and when is the balance due?
- What is your policy if the move is delayed or I need to reschedule?
Piano move permits in Montreal
Some piano move work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Common piano move questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
