Upright piano moving
Upright pianos in Ipswich colonials and Capes need careful navigation through narrow historic doorways. We use piano dollies and proper technique to move them without touching walls or original trim.
Ipswich is one of New England's oldest towns — and its colonial homes are beautiful, historic, and genuinely challenging for piano moves.
Ipswich, known for Crane Beach and its remarkable concentration of 17th and 18th century colonial architecture, has some of the most character-rich homes in Essex County. That character also means narrow doorways, steep interior staircases, and original wide-plank floors that require careful protection during any move.
Our piano moving team plans every Ipswich move with these realities in mind — confirming clearances, protecting original flooring, and using the right equipment for tight historic spaces.
