Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Clarkston’s Preferred Piano & Specialty Moving Company
We’ve been moving families and businesses since 2006, and Clarkston’s resettlement community has been central to our DeKalb County work for years. Our crews have learned what the apartment complexes along Montreal Road and Ponce de Leon Avenue demand: patience with tight turns, respect for multilingual households, and the discipline to check stairwell measurements before the truck leaves our depot.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every item we move or pack. If something isn’t right, one call brings a crew or a check. No claim forms that disappear. No subcontractors we can’t name.
We answer our phones live, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Before your move, during your move, and 60 days later when you notice a scratch. That matters in Clarkston, where move coordination often involves case workers, bilingual liaisons, and tight timelines set by resettlement agencies.
The price we quote is the price you pay. We do a real in-person or video survey of your unit, measure the stairwells, check the parking situation, and give you a binding written quote. The number does not rise on move day. Not on the ramp. Not at delivery.
Our Piano & Specialty Moving Services in Clarkston
Piano Moving
Pianos are the heaviest, most fragile item most people ever own. In Clarkston, they’re also among the most common specialty moves we handle, often arriving from international shipping containers and destined for third-floor walk-ups with narrow breezeways. This is standard work for us now, but it took years to develop the rigging techniques and the relationships with resettlement case workers that make these moves smooth. A typical piano move in Clarkston runs $200-$900, depending on stairs, distance from the truck, and whether we need to disassemble and reassemble the instrument. We move uprights, grands, baby grands, and digitals. Every piano gets padded like it’s ours, protected like it’s yours, with full-value coverage on everything we handle.
Antique & Fine Art Moving
Clarkston’s resettlement families often carry heirlooms across continents. We’ve moved hand-carved furniture from East Africa, delicate ceramics from Southeast Asia, and oil paintings that survived wars. These pieces demand custom crating, climate-controlled transport when needed, and crews who understand that “monetary value” and “value to the family” are not the same thing. Antique and fine art moving in Clarkston typically falls in the $200-$900 range for standard pieces, with custom crating quoted separately after inspection. We photograph everything before we wrap it. We build wooden crates on-site when the piece requires it. And we coordinate delivery windows that respect the client’s schedule, not just ours.
Appliance Moving
The 1970s and 1980s apartment stock in Clarkston wasn’t built for modern appliances. Refrigerators that fit through a standard doorway in a new Tucker subdivision won’t clear the tight turns of a Clarkston breezeway. We’ve learned to measure twice, disassemble door hinges when needed, and protect floors from the dolly marks that cheap movers leave behind. Appliance moving in Clarkston typically costs $150-$600 per item, with washing machines, dryers, and refrigerators being the most common requests. We disconnect and reconnect water lines for washers, secure refrigerator compressors for transport, and pad every surface that might contact a wall or railing. Our trucks carry Milwaukee tools and Uline padding supplies, so we’re not borrowing equipment or making supply runs on your clock.
Pool Table Moving
Pool tables are slate, wood, and felt. Disassembly is precise. Reassembly is precise. There’s no “close enough” that plays true. In Clarkston, we’ve moved tables from basement rec rooms in the older ranch homes near North Indian Creek Drive and from common rooms in apartment complexes being renovated. We level on-site. We recover felt if it’s worn. And we don’t send a crew that has never broken down a table before.

Common Piano & Specialty Moving Problems We See in Clarkston Homes
- Stairwells measured wrong. The 36-inch opening that looked generous in daylight becomes impassable when you’re angling a 500-pound upright around a landing. We measure every stairwell during our survey. No surprises on move day.
- Missing the bilingual coordination layer. In Clarkston, the person who booked the move and the person who greets the crew are sometimes not the same, and English fluency varies. We build time into our schedule for case-worker or liaison involvement, and we train our crew chiefs to pause, confirm, and document.
- Heat exhaustion on unshaded breezeways. Clarkston’s summer heat index regularly exceeds 100°F from June through August. Our crews carry hydration packs, schedule early-morning starts when possible, and take breaks that protect the movers and the cargo.
- Underestimating the piano’s origin story. Pianos that arrive via international shipping often have non-standard dimensions, weakened frames from humidity exposure, or hardware that doesn’t match U.S. specs. We inspect before we quote, not after we’re stuck on a landing.

FAQs - Piano & Specialty Moving in Clarkston
Yes, in nearly every case. We measure stairwell width, landing depth, and ceiling height during our free survey, then choose the right equipment. For a recent job on Willow Lane in the Indian Creek complex, we moved a 1930s upright through a 36-inch stairwell with a 90-degree turn at the top, using shoulder dollies and custom padding. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll survey your access before we quote.
Yes, regularly. Clarkston’s resettlement agency network is unique in metro Atlanta, and we’ve built our scheduling and communication protocols around it. We work with case workers and bilingual liaisons as standard practice, not as an afterthought. The move day goes smoother when everyone knows the plan in advance.
We pad and wrap every piano with moisture-resistant materials, schedule early-morning moves when summer humidity peaks, and minimize time between climate-controlled spaces. For high-value or sensitive instruments, we can arrange climate-controlled transport. The humid DeKalb County summers are a real factor, and we account for them in our planning.
Yes. Third-floor walk-ups are common in Clarkston’s older apartment stock, and we’ve developed specific rigging techniques for these jobs. We bring extra crew for the lift, protect every railing and wall surface, and build in rest breaks that keep the crew sharp and the piano safe. The cost reflects the labor and time, which is why our survey is thorough before we quote.
We treat every piano as irreplaceable, but we know some carry family histories that no insurance check could cover. We photograph condition before we wrap, document every step, and assign our most experienced crew chiefs to heirloom moves. Full-value protection is included on everything we pack and move. And our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if anything isn’t right after delivery, we make it right with a crew or a check.
