We’ve moved pianos, safes, and fine art through Fort Lauderdale since 2006. Our crews are garaged in Miami, minutes from the 33305, 33306, 33307, and 33308 ZIP codes we cover. We know the low bridges on Rio Vista approach routes, the freight elevator rules at Intracoastal high-rises, and when a 26-foot box truck will get stuck on a single-lane dead end. That local knowledge keeps your move on schedule and your property intact.

Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Piano & Specialty Moving Company

We’ve been serving Fort Lauderdale for over 20 years. Our reputation here was built on moves that other companies turned down or botched - the 9-foot concert grand on a canal finger in Rio Vista, the gun safe into a Coral Ridge condo with a three-hour freight window, the antique credenza that couldn’t handle salt-air exposure during staging.

Our Piano & Specialty Moving team fields background-checked, uniformed movers on Milestone’s own payroll. No day labor. No gig workers sourced from a text message. One crew, start to finish.

The price we quote is the price you pay. After a real in-person or video survey, we put the number in writing. It doesn’t rise on the ramp, at delivery, or because the truck had to stage a shuttle van at Las Olas Boulevard. That’s the Move-Right Guarantee.

And if something isn’t right within 90 days of delivery, one call brings a crew or a check. Not a claim form that disappears. Not a subcontractor who never calls back. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing because Dale Whitmore has seen what happens when companies operate on handshakes.

Our Piano & Specialty Moving Services in Fort Lauderdale

Piano Moving

Pianos are the heaviest, most fragile item most people own. A vertical piano runs 300-500 pounds; a 9-foot concert grand can exceed 1,200. In Fort Lauderdale, piano moving carries extra complexity. The canal-front ‘finger’ streets in Rio Vista and Nurmi Isles are single-lane dead ends with no turnaround for a 26-foot truck. Our crews pre-stage a shuttle van at the nearest cross-street and ferry the piano to the main truck - a maneuver we’ve refined through years of Fort Lauderdale moves.

In Rio Vista, we delivered a 9-foot concert grand down a one-lane canal street with low-hanging banyan branches. The homeowner had a detached workshop with a heavy 4-foot-wide door, so we used our dedicated piano board and a shuttle van staged at Las Olas Boulevard to avoid getting stuck. Our techs protected the finish from salt-air corrosion during the brief outdoor transfer and had the piano level-set inside the workshop within 90 minutes.

We move uprights, grands, baby grands, and concert grands. Every move includes proper padding, climate-conscious loading, and full-value protection on everything we handle.

Safe & Gun Safe Moving

Gun safes and commercial safes run 500-2,000+ pounds, often installed in garages or interior closets of Fort Lauderdale’s 1950s-1970s concrete block ranch homes. Those narrow doorways and single-car garages complicate removal. Our crews carry appliance dollies with 1,200-pound capacity, stair-climbing equipment, and the experience to navigate tight turns without damaging stucco or door frames.

For high-rise condos along A1A or the New River corridor, safe moving requires freight elevator coordination and HOA compliance. We handle the reservation and timing so your move stays in window.

Antique & Fine Art Moving

Fort Lauderdale’s antique market draws pieces from Northeastern estates and European collections, many arriving during snowbird season. Salt-air exposure during even brief outdoor staging near the ocean or Intracoastal can damage finishes, hardware, and textiles. We use vapor-barrier wrapping and acid-free padding, not standard moving blankets, for coastal moves.

Climate control matters here. June through September, heat index routinely exceeds 105°F. We schedule morning moves when possible and maintain climate-controlled transport for temperature-sensitive pieces.

Pool Table Moving

A slate-bed pool table weighs 700-1,000 pounds and requires disassembly, slate transport, and precision re-leveling. In Fort Lauderdale’s older CBS homes, low ceilings and narrow halls challenge standard disassembly. Our techs carry Milwaukee power tools for fast, clean breakdown and have leveled tables on uneven slab floors common to 1960s construction.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale

We regularly move Steinway, Baldwin, Yamaha, and Kawai pianos, along with Fort Knox, Browning, and Liberty gun safes. Our trucks carry Uline vapor-barrier wrap and Milwaukee equipment for field repairs and disassembly. For pool tables, we stock Brunswick and Olhausen leveling hardware. Parts are on the truck, not on order - that means same-day completion for most Fort Lauderdale jobs instead of a return trip that costs you another day.

Common Piano & Specialty Moving Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes

• Underestimating the approach. A truck that fits the street may not fit under a low bridge on the route to a canal-front property, forcing a last-minute shuttle operation that can double the time. We survey the route before move day, not after the truck is stuck.
• Scheduling during snowbird season without elevator reservations. October-November and March-April see massive demand surges from Northeastern and Canadian arrivals. High-rise condos along A1A require freight elevator bookings weeks ahead. Miss the window and you’re paying HOA fines and moving off-hours.
• Standard blankets that don’t stop salt air. Pianos and antiques staged even briefly near the Intracoastal absorb salt air that corrodes strings and hardware within days. We use vapor-barrier protection, not basic padding, for every coastal move.
• Detached workshops with oversized doors. Fort Lauderdale’s canal-front properties often have backyard workshops with custom 4-foot entries. Standard dollies don’t fit. We carry equipment sized for non-standard openings and pre-measure before arrival.
