Not every piano move goes according to plan. 😅

Yesterday, this beautiful Boston grand piano was headed to the second floor of a Pittsburgh home. At first, we thought the inside staircase was the toughest part… until we discovered the piano wouldn’t clear a low bulkhead at the top. That meant bringing it all the way back down and finding another way.

So we took the piano around the side of the house instead. Tight alleyways, rough ground, and a staircase that led directly into a wall made this move anything but easy.

But challenges like this are exactly why experience matters. In the end, the piano made it safely to its new home, exactly where the customer wanted it. 🎹💪

What to do When Furniture Won't Fit Through The Front Door.

In this video we show how our professional movers pad wrap, protect, and hoist large furniture. Our customers often ask how we would move furniture that does not fit into an elevator or up a flight of stairs, so we decided to create this video as a visual reference. To be clear, we do not recommend hosting large furniture by yourself and we always recommend hiring a professional. However, due to the overwhelming questions that we have been receiving, we created this visual representation to explain how a professional mover would perform this task. Please do not try this at home. This is not an easy task and should only be performed by trained professional piano movers.

This video was created by the professionals at Stumpf Moving and Storage to shed light on the moving industry. Please hit that like button for us, and don't forget to subscribe to our channel for more moving tips!

Professionally loading a moving truck is an art. It’s also similar to Tetris! 🚚💨📦

But unlike the game, the goal isn’t to make the rows disappear, it’s to make sure they’re still there when you open the door at your new house. 🏠

Proper loading isn’t just about fitting everything in; it’s about weight distribution and “tiering”. One wrong move and that “Level 10” stack can become a “Level 0” disaster. 🫣

We take the time to secure your loaded furniture; so your belongings don’t do the cha-cha-slide on the highway.
💃🕺

What’s the most ‘interesting’ thing you’ve ever had to fit into a moving truck? 👇

How to pad wrap and protect chairs for moving and storage! This video details the best way to protect furniture to prevent damage during the moving and storage process.

In this video you will learn the "diaper wrap" aka the "diaper pad" technique to pad wrap chairs for moving and storage. The diaper pad technique is used by professional movers for local and long distance moving as well as short and long-term storage. This guide demonstrates why using heavy-duty moving blankets and industrial rubber bands is the best way to ensure 360-degree damage prevention for your chairs during the moving and storage process.

We skip the sticky tape and plastic wrap and show you why professional movers use large rubber bands and high quality moving pads to create a secure, damage proof barrier for your furniture.
