A baby grand piano can weigh more than a refrigerator and a sofa combined, which is why Eagle Van Lines runs a two-mover-plus-crew-chief specialty load for every upright, baby grand, gun safe, and antique armoire, with walk-boards, e-track straps, and stair-climbing dollies staged before the truck leaves Communipaw Ave.

Pianos and heavy items we handle

Item Typical weight
Upright piano up to 600 lb
Gun safe 400-1,200 lb

Piano pricing in Jersey City

Piano work starts at $349 for a same-level upright. Baby grands, multi-floor carries, and gun safes price as a custom figure once Marcus Ferreira walks the staircase. Third floor and up adds a flat stair-fee, never an hourly rate. Get a piano figure.

What’s separate

The piano figure covers the crew, truck, pads, and stair equipment. Tuning after delivery and climate-controlled storage beyond the standard bay bill separately. Freight-elevator coordination for apartment moves is included at no charge. Home.

What’s Included

  • Walk-boards and e-track straps standard
  • Stair-climbing dollies for upright pianos
  • Custom wood crating for baby grands
  • Gun safes from 400 to 1,200 lb handled
  • Freight-elevator sizing checked ahead for Newport high-rises
  • Flat stair-fee, never hourly

What Does It Cost?

Run the clock or skip it — a two-mover crew opens at $129/hr, or a flat band by home size starts around $349

The truck, blankets, and dollies never show up as a separate line: $129 for two movers, $179 for three, $229 for four, or a flat figure by bedroom count if you would rather skip the clock entirely. Full-value protection is already built into that number — Eagle Van Lines includes it standard, not as something added at the end.

Service FAQ

Is $349 the price for any piano?
It covers a standard upright on one level. Stairs, baby grands, and gun safes price as a custom figure.
Do you tune the piano after delivery?
We deliver and place only; most pianos need re-tuning two to four weeks after any move.
Can you move a piano into a Newport high-rise?
Yes. We check freight-elevator dimensions ahead of time, and stairwell-certified crews handle walk-up buildings without one.
How long does an upright move take?
Most upright jobs run two to three hours door to door.
Do I need to be home for the piano move?
Yes, for arrival and placement. We won’t leave a piano without your sign-off on the final spot.
What Sets Us Apart

Why Households Stick With Eagle Van Lines Moving & Storage

Licensed And Filed, Before The Truck Shows Up

Fully licensed NJ household-goods mover, DOT and MC authority filed for interstate work, full-value protection included standard on every move, not sold as an add-on — whether it is a walk-up in the Heights or a long haul south on I-95, the paperwork is closed before Dante’s crew ever backs the truck up to the curb.

Full-Value Protection, Not An Upsell

Every quote already includes full-value protection before you ask about it — Vincent built that into the pricing back in 2011 after watching customers get sold coverage as an afterthought elsewhere. The crew pads elevator interiors and hallway corners on every high-rise job, and none of that shows up as an extra line later.

One Owner Reviewing Every Estimate

Call on a weekday and Vincent Caruso looks over the figure himself; call on a busy weekend and Angela Pellegrino handles intake from the Communipaw Ave office. Every mover who shows up at your door is W-2, background-checked, and trained inside that same warehouse — never leased, never temp, never sourced same-day off an app.

Freight Elevators Booked Ahead, Not Guessed At

The figure Marcus sends over from the estimate includes the building coordination too — freight-elevator windows booked and certificates of insurance filed with management days before move day, not scrambled together the morning of.

One Call, One Figure, Vincent’s Own Sign-Off

Marcus checks the job against the Communipaw Ave schedule, writes the figure with full-value protection already included, and Vincent signs off before it lands back in your inbox — usually within the hour. If you end up booking with someone else, that's the end of it; nobody's calling to follow up.
