Cactus Moving provides piano moving in Ottawa for upright pianos up to 46 inches tall. We move the piano, protect the path, and place it where you want it. We do not move baby grand or grand pianos. We also do not provide tuning after the move, because our service is the moving part only. Within Ottawa, pricing is transparent, and we do not add travel time, mileage, or insurance charges. For local moves, you can reserve a date without a deposit. Our crews bring proven experience from multiple Canadian cities, and we apply that process to Ottawa piano moves where control matters.
Lock in your preferred moving day early at no cost. We hold your date while you finalize keys, elevator bookings, and other details, so prime weekends and month-end slots do not slip away. Change or confirm later without penalty.






You will know the plan before moving day, including the route, the stair count, and the landing space at both locations. We confirm door widths, tight turns, and floor type so we can protect surfaces and keep the piano stable. On site, we use moving blankets, straps, and the right dollies to control weight and balance. The piano is secured for transport with a controlled load, and the goal is steady movement, not rushed lifting. Communication stays simple, so you know what is happening at each stage.
We start with a planning call to confirm piano height, model type, pickup and drop off access, and any stairs or tight turns. Then we flag special needs such as narrow landings, soft flooring, or long carries.
Your quote includes crew size, equipment plan, hourly rate, estimated hours, included protections, and an arrival window. Within Ottawa, we remove common add ons such as travel time, mileage, and insurance charges, so pricing is easier to compare.
If you request packing, we can protect nearby items and clear the work area so the piano route stays open. We can also pack fragile items in the same room to reduce breakage during the move.
When the moving day comes our crews come on time and fully prepared. We protect floors, doors, railings, and elevators before loading begins (and before unloading begins). All furniture is wrapped in clean moving blankets and handled efficiently even if packing was not included. We load, secure, and safely transport your belongings to a new home.
After placement, we do a final walkthrough with you to confirm the piano is set where you want it and the area is left clean. If something needs a small adjustment, we handle it before closing the job.
For local piano moves in Ottawa, payment happens after the job is complete. No deposit is required to book, and the invoice matches the agreed hourly rate and time.
Once the move is finished, you receive a small cactus gift as a simple thank you.
If we earned it, a short review helps other Ottawa customers choose a mover for delicate items with confidence. Your feedback also helps us improve our training and process.
Request a quote online or over thephone and share the piano height, pickup and drop off access, and your preferred date. We confirm availability, send a clear quote, and reserve your move without a deposit for local jobs.

We move upright pianos up to 46 inches tall. We do not move baby grand or grand pianos. If you are not sure about the size, measure from the floor to the top of the piano.
We focus on moving only. Tuning is not included, and we do not adjust internal parts. If you want tuning, book a piano technician after the move and after the piano has settled.
We protect floors and corners, then wrap contact points with moving blankets. The piano is controlled with straps and a planned route so it does not shift on stairs or landings.
Yes, when access allows. We ask about stair count, landing width, and railing clearance so we can choose the right crew size and equipment.
Yes. We offer flexible scheduling, including night moves, based on crew availability and access rules at both locations.
Overnight piano moving can help in Ottawa when daytime parking is limited or when building activity makes access harder. Quieter hours can reduce delays and give crews more room to work. This option depends on availability and any building rules.

Strong results with heavy and delicate items come from repeatable training and controlled technique, not guesswork. Our movers complete structured onboarding and hands on testing before they handle pianos. Refreshers cover protection methods, safe lifting, and secure loading. Because we operate in multiple cities, we keep improving procedures as we learn, then bring that experience into every Ottawa move.
