Meet The Best Piano Movers In Vancouver

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.

Reserve Your Moving Date In Advance With No Charge

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.

What to Expect From Cactus Moving

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.

Move Planning

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.

Personalized Quote

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.

Packing and Moving Preparation (if requested)

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.

Moving Day With Cactus Moving

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.

Final Walkthrough

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.

Payment

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.

Cacti New Home

We leave every client with a small cactus — our signature symbol of care and dedication that grows strong, just like our service standards.
