Founded in 2021 and expanded to Vancouver in 2025, Cactus Moving has become one of the most trusted names for safe and professional piano moving. We specialize in upright piano relocations for homes, apartments, music schools, and performance spaces. Our Vancouver crews use professional piano dollies, heavy-duty straps, and lift-gate trucks to ensure stable, secure transport. We’re fully licensed, insured, and WCB-covered, offering reliable service across Metro Vancouver with no hidden fees.
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.




Moving a piano requires balance, teamwork, and proper technique — not just strength. Our Vancouver piano movers are trained to handle instruments delicately, protect your property, and ensure safe transport from start to finish.
We start with an assessment of your piano type, weight, and moving path. Our coordinator confirms dimensions, staircases, and building access before dispatching a crew equipped for your layout.
You receive a clear, written estimate including crew size, truck type, and timing. Staircases may affect total cost, but long hallway distances do not — our specialized dollies make those moves smooth and efficient.
We wrap and pad your upright piano using thick moving blankets and straps to protect all surfaces. Pedals, lids, and music stands are secured before lifting. We ask that all paths are clear of obstacles prior to our arrival.
Our team arrives with the right tools — dollies, straps, and a lift-gate truck. We carefully tilt, secure, and roll your piano to avoid vibration or impact. Each mover is assigned a specific task for lifting, steering, and guiding to ensure full control.
Once delivered, we position the piano where you want it, check stability, and remove all protective materials. We do not tune pianos, but we recommend allowing your instrument to acclimate for at least 24 hours before tuning.
No deposit is required for local piano moves within Vancouver. Payment is due once the piano is placed and the move is complete to your satisfaction.
We leave every client with a small cactus — our signature symbol of care and dedication that grows strong, just like our service standards.

Here are answers to the most common piano moving questions in Vancouver. If you need more information, we’re happy to guide you through the process.
We move upright pianos up to 46 inches in height. This includes standard home and studio pianos. We do not move grand, baby grand, or antique pianos requiring specialized restoration or crane equipment.
Yes. Staircases add complexity and require additional time and coordination. Each step or flight must be assessed in advance so we can assign the correct number of movers. Long hallways, however, do not affect the price or time because our dollies are designed to move easily across flat surfaces.
We use thick padded blankets, shrink wrap, and locking straps to cover the piano completely. Corners, pedals, and lid edges are reinforced with protective padding. The piano is then strapped to a dolly and loaded using a lift-gate truck to minimize lifting strain and vibration.
Yes. Our movers are trained to maneuver pianos safely through narrow hallways, stairwells, and elevators. We measure access points in advance to ensure proper clearance and plan the route before we begin.
No, we do not offer piano tuning. It’s best to wait about a day after relocation for the piano to adjust to its new temperature and humidity before scheduling a professional tuning.
Costs depend on piano size, stair access, and distance. Local moves within Metro Vancouver are billed at an hourly rate, with no fuel or mileage charges. Once we confirm access details, we’ll provide a precise, all-inclusive quote.
