Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Edina’s Preferred Piano & Specialty Moving Company
We’ve earned our reputation in Edina by solving problems that generic movers simply don’t encounter in newer suburbs. The Country Club District’s 1920s-1940s homes, with their narrow doorways and tree-lined streets barely wide enough for two cars, demand a crew that plans for shuttle moves and protects original hardwood against Minnesota’s harshest weather. Our Piano & Specialty Moving team has handled everything from 9-foot grands in stucco bungalows to gun safes in postwar ramblers off Vernon Avenue.
Edina homeowners tell us the same thing: they chose us because we showed up in uniform, gave them a written number that didn’t change, and answered the phone at 10 PM when they had a question about delivery. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if anything we moved or packed isn’t right, one call brings a crew or a check - not a claim form that disappears. We’ve been proudly serving local communities for over 20 years, and our trucks are stocked and garaged in the metros we serve, including regular runs to 55424 and surrounding Edina ZIPs.
Our Piano & Specialty Moving Services in Edina
Piano Moving
Piano moving in Edina runs $200-$900 for local transport, with uprights at the lower end and concert grands requiring crane or rigging at the upper end. We recently moved a 9-foot grand piano from a 1930s stucco home on a Country Club District street barely wide enough for two cars. Our 26-foot truck had to stop a block away, so we shuttled the piano on a hydraulic lift cart through the narrow entry hall, protecting the original hardwood floors with ramps and felt pads against the below-zero chill. Every piano move includes full-value protection and climate-acclimation protocols for winter transport.
Antique & Fine Art Moving
Edina’s concentration of estate homes and generational collections means we regularly move pieces that standard movers won’t touch - oil paintings from Morningside colonials, mid-century furniture from 50th & France condos, and entire dining sets from Country Club District heirs. Antique and fine art moving in Edina costs $300-$1,600 depending on volume, crating needs, and whether pieces require custom-built protection. We pad, crate, and climate-control everything we handle, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers any damage to pieces we pack.
Safe & Gun Safe Moving
Gun safes and residential vaults are a specialty we handle regularly in Edina, where home security investments run high. Safe moving costs $150-$600 locally, with smaller gun safes on the lower end and 1,000+ pound vaults requiring stair-rigging or crane placement at the upper end. Period homes in the Country Club District often have basements with narrow stairwells built before modern safe dimensions existed, so we survey the path before quoting - no surprises on move day.
Pool Table Moving
Pool table moving in Edina requires slate-leveling expertise, especially in older homes with settled foundations common to the 1920s-1940s stock. We disassemble, transport, and re-level tables with new felt installation available. Most Edina pool table moves run in the middle of our piano range given similar weight and care requirements.

Trusted Brands We Service in Edina
We move pianos by Steinway, Baldwin, Yamaha, and Kawai regularly through Edina homes, and we’ve transported fine art crated with Uline materials and moved on Milwaukee-equipped lift carts. Our trucks carry Ryder-branded moving pads and U-Haul specialty dollies for tight-corner navigation, but the equipment matters less than the crew using it - every mover on your job is background-checked, in uniform, and on Milestone’s payroll, trained to headquarters standards, never gig labor sourced from a text message.
Common Piano & Specialty Moving Problems We See in Edina Homes
- Underestimating shuttle distances. Trucks over 26 feet can’t navigate Edina’s narrow Country Club streets, leading to blown time windows and added costs. We measure street width and plan shuttle logistics during our free survey, so the quote reflects reality.
- Thermal shock damage. Moving pianos in sub-zero winter temperatures without acclimation causes wood cracking and finish damage. We blanket-wrap, truck-acclimate, and allow gradual temperature adjustment before unwrapping - essential for Edina’s routine -20°F wind chills.
- Doorway and stair miscalculations. Period homes often have narrow entryways and tight stairwells that require disassembling or rigging, which generic movers miss. We bring piano legs, lyres, and pedal boxes through separately when needed, protecting both instrument and original millwork.
- Lawn rutting. Heavy trucks and equipment on thawing spring lawns can damage manicured yards, causing liability issues. We use plywood runways and track mats during spring moves, especially in hilly Country Club District properties where drainage patterns make ground softening unpredictable.

FAQs - Piano & Specialty Moving in Edina
We stop our 26-foot truck at the nearest accessible point and shuttle the piano on a hydraulic lift cart, with floor protection and climate blankets for the distance. This adds time we build into the binding quote during your free survey, so you’re never surprised by a shuttle fee on move day. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule your survey.
Yes, when acclimation protocols are followed: blanket-wrapping in the heated home, minimal exposure during loading, truck climate maintenance, and gradual unwrapping in the destination space. Rushing any step risks thermal shock cracking in soundboards and finish damage. We never leave a piano in an unheated truck or garage during Edina’s sub-zero stretches.
We disassemble legs, lyres, and pedal boxes, and in extreme cases use rigging through windows or stairwells - all planned during the pre-move survey. The Country Club District’s 30-inch doorframes were built for parlour grands, not modern 9-foot instruments, so we measure every turn before quoting. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll walk through your specific layout.
Everything we pack is covered by full-value protection, and antique or fine art pieces receive custom crating, acid-free wrapping, and dedicated truck space when needed. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise applies specifically to anything Milestone moved or packed - if it isn’t right, one call brings a crew or a check, not a claim form.
We lay plywood runways and track mats from truck to door, and we assess ground firmness before driving any equipment off paved surfaces. Edina’s manicured lawns and hilly drainage patterns make spring rutting a real liability, so we err on the side of protection even when it adds minutes to the job. Call (855) 890-3455 to discuss timing for your spring move.
