Fast, Reliable Piano & Specialty Moving Across Collierville
Piano moving in Collierville typically costs $200-$900 depending on the instrument, stairwell access, and whether your home sits in a 1990s-2010s subdivision or the historic Town Square district. Our crews are on the road to Collierville within two hours of your call, and we complete most specialty moves the same day we survey the job. Call (855) 890-3455 for a free in-home or video estimate - the number we quote is the number you pay.
We’ve been moving pianos, gun safes, and fine art through Collierville since long before the 2014 school-district split that turned ZIP codes 38017 and 38027 into the Memphis metro’s most sought-after relocation destination. That means we know the difference between a Wolf River Ranch foyer staircase and a century-old landing near Town Square, and we know which one requires a piano board and which needs a full rigging crew. Our Piano & Specialty Moving team doesn’t guess - we measure first, then move.
Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Collierville’s Preferred Piano & Specialty Moving Company
Collierville families don’t move on impulse. They move for schools, for space, for the kind of home that fits a baby grand in the formal living room. We’ve earned our reputation here by showing up in uniform, with floor runners already in hand, ready for the HOA gate codes and the three-car garage layouts that define this market.
Our crews are background-checked, on our payroll, and trained to headquarters standards - never day labor sourced from a text message. The price we quote is the price you pay: a binding written quote after a real in-person or video survey, backed by our Move-Right Guarantee. That guarantee includes a named pickup and delivery window, full-value protection on everything we pack, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise - if anything isn’t right, one call brings a crew or a check, not a subcontractor or a claim form that disappears.
Live support answers every call, 24/7. Before the move, during the move, and if something needs attention after. Dale Whitmore built this standard in 2006, and it’s how we still operate in Collierville today.
Our Piano & Specialty Moving Services in Collierville
Piano Moving
The planned subdivisions between Poplar and Shelby Drive - the heart of Collierville’s residential boom - were built with grand foyer staircases and long, narrow landings that demand stairwell disassembly and specialized rigging for baby grands and harps. This isn’t Memphis’s older, wider stock. A 6-foot Baldwin console that walks straight through a Midtown duplex might need a crane-assisted patio exit in a Collierville two-story. We survey every piano move on-site or by video, measure clearances to the quarter-inch, and quote only after we know the path.
We moved a 7-foot Yamaha C7 out of a home near the historic Town Square, where the 100-year-old staircase had a 36-inch pinch point. Our techs used a piano board and straps to walk the instrument down the exterior, protecting the client’s pre-war oak floors with felt runners - a move that would have been routine in a newer subdivision but here required two extra hours of prep. That’s the difference local experience makes.
Antique & Fine Art Moving
Collierville’s housing stock splits sharply: the vast majority is large two-story single-family homes built from the mid-1990s through the 2010s, with heavy hardwood and stone finishes common in upper-price-point builds. The historic Town Square area is the narrow exception, with late-19th and early-20th century homes that present entirely different access challenges. Whether we’re crating a oil painting for a Wolfchase-area great room or padding a Victorian mirror through a Town Square Victorian’s narrow doorway, we match the protection to the piece and the path.
Safe & Gun Safe Moving
Three-car garages are standard in Collierville’s newer subdivisions, and that’s where most gun safes live - bolted to concrete, often 800-1,200 pounds, positioned against a back wall with a workbench on one side and a golf cart on the other. We bring Milwaukee-powered safe jacks, Uline-rated moving blankets, and the crew count to handle the weight without scraping the epoxy floor coating your HOA requires you to maintain. We also unbolt and re-secure at destination.
Pool Table Moving
Collierville’s game rooms and converted bonus rooms hold more slate-bed tables than most Memphis movers see in a month. We disassemble, crate the slate in three pieces, move, and re-level - including new felt if the existing surface won’t survive the trip. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers re-leveling if the table drifts after delivery.

Trusted Brands We Service in Collierville
We regularly move Yamaha, Steinway, Baldwin, and Kawai pianos through Collierville homes, and we stock Uline-rated moving blankets, Milwaukee lifting straps, and Ryder-spec’d dollies sized for the tight turns common in local subdivisions. Our trucks carry felt runners, Masonite sheets, and door jamb protectors standard - not as upsells, but as the cost of doing business in an HOA market where a scratched foyer floor can cost your deposit. Parts and materials are on the truck before we leave the garage, which means no delay waiting for a runner delivery while your move window ticks.
Common Piano & Specialty Moving Problems We See in Collierville Homes
- Underestimating stairwell width and landing depth in 1990s-2010s two-story foyers. Grand pianos often need to be lifted over banisters or removed through patio doors. We measure every turn before we quote, and we bring the rigging to execute the path we planned - not the path we hoped would work.
- Ignoring HOA move-in rules that restrict commercial truck hours and require floor protection. A missed runner can cost your client their security deposit. We call ahead for gate codes, arrive within designated windows, and lay protection before the first piece touches the foyer.
- Lacking the specialized rigging and crew stamina for July-August moves in 95°F heat. Hauling a concert grand up interior stairs without a cool-down plan risks injury and damage. We rotate crews, hydrate on schedule, and schedule the heaviest lifts for morning hours when Collierville’s humidity is lowest.
- Assuming historic Town Square access matches suburban access. Narrow doorways, original plaster, and century-old staircases require different equipment and more time. We quote that time honestly - no “discovered” charges on move day.

FAQs - Piano & Specialty Moving in Collierville
Yes, most Collierville HOAs restrict commercial vehicle access to designated move-in hours and require floor and wall protection. We call your property manager before arrival, arrive within the window, and lay runners and jamb protectors before any piece enters your home. Missing this step has cost movers their client’s deposit - we don’t skip it. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll confirm your HOA’s specific requirements during the estimate.
Yes, but these moves require different equipment and more time than suburban jobs. We survey historic properties in person, measure every pinch point, and often route large pieces through exterior windows or patio doors rather than risk original plaster and oak treads. The 7-foot Yamaha C7 we moved near Town Square - down the exterior because the 36-inch staircase wouldn’t permit it - is typical of the planning these homes demand. Call (855) 890-3455 for a walk-through estimate.
The two weeks before Collierville Schools’ late-July enrollment deadline see demand spike sharply, compressing scheduling windows and limiting crew availability. If your move is school-timed, book four to six weeks ahead. If you have flexibility, mid-June or mid-August offer wider windows and cooler morning temperatures for the heavy lifting. Either way, we guarantee your named window once you book. Call (855) 890-3455 to hold your date.
We protect them - it’s included, not optional. Collierville’s newer subdivisions feature extensive hardwood and stone finishes that HOAs require you to maintain in move-in condition. Our crews lay felt runners and Masonite before any equipment touches your floor, and we carry extra protection for the heavier traffic paths. This is standard on every Milestone job, not an upsell. Call (855) 890-3455 to confirm what’s included.
We unbolt it from the concrete, jack it onto a padded dolly with Milwaukee equipment, and move it with a four-person crew minimum - standard for safes over 500 pounds. Collierville’s three-car garages often have tight clearances between the safe wall, workbench, and vehicle bay, so we measure the path during estimate and bring the right jack configuration for your safe’s weight and footprint. We also re-bolt at destination. Call (855) 890-3455 for a specific quote on your safe model.
