Piano Movers in Belmont, MA | Mt Auburn Piano Movers

Belmont sits on the hill just over the Watertown line, a short run from our shop, so it is about as close to home as our crew gets. The town is quiet and settled, full of center-entrance colonials and brick capes on Belmont Hill and around Cushing Square, and a steady share of them hold a family piano in the living room or a second-floor study. The work here tends to be an upright or a baby grand that has anchored the same room for decades, now headed to a new home a few towns over or up to a child’s first house. Paul Marchetti founded Mt Auburn Piano Movers in 2009 after training as a piano technician, and being right next door means our crew knows the Belmont streets, the hill grades, and the colonial floor plans without needing a map.

A Belmont move usually turns on the entry, since a center-entrance colonial puts the front door at the top of a few steps and the music room up a narrow interior stair. We scout that path before the date, set the ramp at the front steps, and run the interior stair with a padded skid board and a spotter. On a baby grand the legs, lyre, and pedals come off and the case rides on its side, and we protect the lid and soundboard before it leaves the room. Grands run 600 to 1,200 pounds, so we use straps and a clean four-rail carry on the hill driveways rather than force. Because we are minutes away in Watertown, we can hold a piano in our climate-controlled room between a sale and a closing, which spares it the freeze-thaw swing of a New England garage. Our trucks stay padded and climate-aware on the short ride.

A local upright in Belmont starts around $220 to $400 and a baby grand around $420 to $720, with the front steps and an interior stair adding roughly $40 to $75 a flight, all set as a flat per-piano figure before we lift it.
