We’ve been moving pianos, safes, and antiques through Fairfax since 2006. Our crews know the difference between a Bolinas Road hillside run and a downtown cottage move. Fairfax’s canyon-hugging streets, especially around the neighborhoods above downtown, are too narrow and winding for standard 26-foot box trucks. Piano moves here often require smaller vehicles like box vans or a shuttle relay from a staging point on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard. That local knowledge is built into every quote we write for Fairfax residents.

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

We’ve completed hundreds of moves in the 94930 and 94978 ZIP codes over our 20 years in business. Fairfax customers call us back because we show up in uniform, in a Milestone truck, and we don’t send day laborers who’ve never seen a redwood canopy driveway.

Our response time to Fairfax is same-day for most specialty moving inquiries, with next-day scheduling common for piano and safe moves. We keep smaller box vans and shuttle-capable crews ready specifically for Marin canyon jobs.

Our reviews from Fairfax customers consistently mention two things: the pre-move survey that catches access problems before they become move-day disasters, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise that still picks up the phone if something settles wrong after delivery. One recent customer in the White Hill area noted that our crew spotted a sub-10% grade limit on her driveway during the video survey and brought the right equipment - an out-of-area mover she’d used previously had gotten a 26-foot truck stuck on the same hairpin turn.

We know Fairfax’s housing stock: craftsman bungalows, wood-frame cottages, and small hillside cabins built primarily between the 1920s and 1950s. Many sit on steep lots with narrow doorways, low-clearance entries, and tight interior stairwells. Our Piano & Specialty Moving team trains on disassembly techniques for these exact conditions.

Our Piano & Specialty Moving Services in Fairfax

Piano Moving in Fairfax

Piano moving in Fairfax runs $200-$900. The range reflects the instrument type, the access challenge, and whether we can get a truck to your door. Uprights in downtown Fairfax cottages typically hit the lower end. Grand pianos in hillside cabins off Bolinas Road, where we need a shuttle from Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and full disassembly, trend higher. We moved a 1920s Steinway upright out of a hillside cabin in the Pastori neighborhood last year. The only access was a steep, single-lane driveway under a low redwood canopy, so our techs had to disassemble the piano in place and use a spin-dolly to navigate the tight turn. We’d scouted the route two days prior, and the move went out smooth even with the truck staged on Sir Francis Drake.

Antique & Fine Art Moving in Fairfax

Antique and fine art moving in Fairfax costs $300-$1,600. Fairfax’s 1920s-1950s housing stock means many collectors live in homes with narrow hallways, original plaster walls, and tight stairwells that weren’t built for modern furniture dimensions. We use Milwaukee tool sets for precise disassembly of built-ins when needed, and we crate pieces in Uline materials sized to your doorways. Full-value protection applies to everything we pack.

Safe & Gun Safe Moving in Fairfax

Safe and gun safe moving in Fairfax ranges from $150-$600. The weight and bolt-down status drive the quote more than distance. Fairfax’s hillside homes often have safes in basement-level rooms or garage workshops with narrow access paths. We bring appliance dollies rated for tight stairwells - the same gear that prevents piano cornering problems - and we never guess whether a safe will clear your bungalow’s 90-degree stair turn. We measure during the survey.

Appliance Moving in Fairfax

Appliance moving in Fairfax runs $150-$600. This covers refrigerators, washers, dryers, and specialty kitchen equipment. Many Fairfax cottages have original kitchen layouts with doorways too narrow for modern appliance dimensions. We disconnect, protect, and reconnect - and we’ll tell you during the survey if your new refrigerator won’t fit through a 1920s doorway without disassembly.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fairfax

We regularly move Steinway, Yamaha, Baldwin, and Kawai pianos in Fairfax homes. For safes, we handle Browning, Fort Knox, Liberty, and Rhino models - common brands among Marin collectors. Our trucks carry Milwaukee moving equipment and Uline protective materials stocked specifically for narrow-access jobs. When a Fairfax customer needs a part or a replacement crate mid-move, we don’t wait on a supply run from out of county. Our local inventory means faster turnaround and fewer aborted moves on tight canyon schedules.

Common Piano & Specialty Moving Problems We See in Fairfax Homes

• 26-foot trucks getting stuck on Bolinas Road hairpins. Crews unfamiliar with Fairfax’s narrow canyon streets attempt to bring standard box trucks up hillside routes and get wedged on a turn, delaying the move or forcing an expensive emergency shuttle relay that wasn’t in the original quote.
• Wet-season driveway failures in White Hill and Pastori. From October through April, Fairfax’s inland valley traps more rainfall than coastal Marin, and steep, often unpaved or single-lane driveways become slippery. A loaded piano dolly can sink or slide, causing the piano to tip or the move to abort entirely.
• Disassembly surprises in 1920s bungalows. A tech arrives without furniture dollies rated for tight stairwells, and the piano can’t fit around a 90-degree corner in a narrow hallway. The options become a risky tilt maneuver or a return trip - neither acceptable under our Move-Right Guarantee.
• Redwood canopy clearance misses. Several streets in the Pastori and White Hill neighborhoods have overhanging redwood canopy with height restrictions that have caught out-of-area crews off guard. Trucks they cannot back out safely block the road and draw the wrong kind of attention.
