Rush Removal Company provides expert piano removal services across Ontario. Whether you’re clearing out a home in Toronto, downsizing in Oakville, or renovating a church in Hamilton, our trained crews ensure the safe, careful removal of your piano. We protect your floors, stairs, and doorways, and handle all the heavy lifting so you don’t have to worry about damage or injury.
What We Remove
Pianos are among the most challenging household items to remove because of their sheer weight, awkward shape, and delicate internal components. That’s why we specialize in piano hauling, using the right tools and protective strategies to safeguard your space.
We remove all types of residential and institutional pianos, including:
- Upright pianos: standard, console, studio, and compact spinet models — ideal for homes and apartments.
- Digital and electric keyboards: we handle bulk pickups from schools, music studios, and homeowners upgrading systems.
- Baby grand and grand pianos: provided that access allows, we safely disassemble and move these larger instruments with special equipment.
- Player pianos and antique uprights: older pianos often require careful handling to avoid structural collapse.
- Organs, church pianos, and pedal instruments: frequently found in religious buildings, community halls, and concert spaces.
- Pianos from basements, tight staircases, or storage rooms: we specialize in tricky extractions where standard movers won’t help.
If your piano removal is part of managing a larger estate or property transition, visit our Estate Cleanouts page for complete cleanout solutions.
Our Ontario Piano Removal Process
We’ve developed a proven multi-step process to make sure your piano is removed efficiently and safely — without hidden costs or surprises.
- Free phone consultation or site assessment: We discuss your piano type, the building layout, and any unique challenges. For larger or multi-floor jobs, we can arrange a no-obligation in-person estimate.
- Arrival with specialized equipment: Our team shows up on time with moving blankets, heavy-duty dollies, lifting straps, piano boards, and protective padding.
- Property protection: We lay down protective coverings to shield your floors, walls, and stair rails. This is especially important for hardwood, tile, or heritage homes.
- Partial disassembly: For many uprights and virtually all baby grands, we may remove the legs, pedals, or lids to safely maneuver through tight hallways and door frames.
- Careful loading: The piano is loaded onto our trucks with secure tie-downs to prevent shifting during transport.
- Sustainable or charitable options: Depending on the piano’s condition, we can direct it to donation centers, community music programs, or certified recycling facilities, providing documentation if needed.
Perfect For Homeowners, Businesses & Institutions Across Ontario
There are many reasons people call us for piano removal. No matter your situation, we have the expertise to handle it discreetly and professionally.
- Inherited or own a piano you no longer play? We remove family heirlooms that have become burdens or liabilities, without emotional stress.
- Upgrading to a new digital keyboard? Older uprights take up significant space — we’ll clear them out so you can modernize your music room.
- Have a broken or severely out-of-tune piano? When repairs exceed the value of the instrument, disposal is often the best choice.
- Moving or downsizing? Pianos are rarely worth the effort and cost of long-distance shipping, especially in retirement relocations.
- Manage a church, school, or retirement facility? We coordinate bulk piano or organ removals with minimal disruption to your operations.
