Our Piano & Specialty Moving Call (855) 890-3455 for a free in-home or video estimate - the quote we write down is the number you pay.
Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Piano & Specialty Moving Company
We’ve earned our reputation in Lighthouse Point by not treating it like Pompano Beach or Deerfield Beach. The city is built on canals, and that changes everything about how you move a 600-pound piano or a 1,200-pound gun safe. Our crews pre-scout every route. We check bridge weight ratings on streets like Northeast 27th Court before we load the truck. The price we quote is the price you pay - binding, in writing, after a real survey of your home.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every specialty move we make in Lighthouse Point. If anything we moved or packed isn’t right, one call brings a crew or a check - not a subcontractor, not a claim form that disappears. Background-checked, uniformed movers on our own payroll handle your items start to finish. A live person answers our phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including when you need us after delivery.
Our Piano & Specialty Moving Services in Lighthouse Point
Piano Moving
Pianos are our most common specialty call in Lighthouse Point, and for good reason. The city’s 1950s-1970s ranch homes often have low-clearance garages and narrow side yards that make standard piano dollies useless. We moved a 7-foot grand piano out of a 1960s canal-front ranch on Northeast 27th Court last May. With the 26-foot truck unable to cross the weight-restricted bridge, we used a 5-ton rated piano dolly to hand-shuttle the piano across, then re-craned it into the truck. The entire operation, timed around a three-hour storm window, went off without a scratch. Our crews carry Uline-rated moving blankets and Milwaukee strapping equipment to secure your instrument against the humidity and salt air that define South Florida’s climate.

Antique & Fine Art Moving
Lighthouse Point’s canal-front homes hold more than their share of collected art and antique furniture. The same humidity that warps piano soundboards damages oil paintings and antique veneers. We pack fine art with materials rated for Florida’s climate, and we never leave items in a non-climate-controlled truck during afternoon thunderstorms. Our binding quote includes full-value protection on everything we pack - no depreciated “weight-based” coverage that leaves you holding the loss.

Safe & Gun Safe Moving
Gun safes in Lighthouse Point often end up in converted garages or back rooms accessible only through tight 1960s doorframes. A 1,200-pound safe on a standard dolly will destroy a terrazzo floor or a narrow hallway if the crew hasn’t pre-measured. We bring the right equipment: hydraulic lifts, floor protection, and when necessary, we disassemble and reassemble on-site. The same bridge weight limits that affect pianos apply here too - sometimes we shuttle the safe across a canal bridge while the truck waits on the legal side.

Pool Table Moving
Pool tables in Lighthouse Point face the same access challenges as pianos, with the added complexity of slate disassembly. A three-piece slate bed weighs 600+ pounds and requires level reassembly at destination. We don’t subcontract this to a “guy who knows pool tables.” Our crews are trained to headquarters standards, in uniform, on our payroll. One crew, start to finish.

Appliance Moving
Sub-Zero refrigerators, wine coolers, and commercial-grade ranges are common in Lighthouse Point’s updated canal homes. The narrow side yards and single-direction access of many properties mean we sometimes can’t get a standard appliance dolly to the back patio. We plan alternate routes through the house or, when necessary, use compact equipment that fits where standard dollies won’t.

Hot Tub Moving
Hot tubs on Lighthouse Point’s canal decks require crane or specialized flatbed service when the backyard access is too tight. We coordinate the full operation, including electrical disconnect and deck protection, so you’re not managing three contractors for one move.

Common Piano & Specialty Moving Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Bridge weight limits strand the truck. Several canal-side streets have weight-restricted or narrow concrete bridges that a fully loaded 26-foot box truck cannot legally or safely cross. Underestimating these limits leads to illegal crossings, fines, and sudden rerouting that can strand a piano on the wrong side of a canal. We check every bridge rating before dispatch.
- Low garage openings force impact damage. The 1950s-1970s housing stock in Lighthouse Point features low-clearance garages and tight canal-side setbacks. Crews who try to force a piano through a standard doorway instead of pre-planning alternate entries cause damage to the instrument, the doorframe, or both. We measure first.
- Afternoon thunderstorms catch crews mid-unload. South Florida’s May-October hurricane season and daily afternoon thunderstorms create hard stop windows for outdoor loading and unloading. A piano left exposed to rain and salt air suffers tuning and finish damage. We schedule around the weather, and we carry protective sheeting rated for sudden downpours.
- Humidity warps what the rain doesn’t hit. Year-round humidity and salt air mean any items left on a truck or in a non-climate-controlled container even briefly are at risk. We don’t let that happen. Climate-controlled transport is standard for pianos and fine art, not an upcharge.

FAQs - Piano & Specialty Moving in Lighthouse Point
Yes. We shuttle pianos across weight-restricted canal bridges using heavy-rated dollies while the truck waits on the legal side. This is standard procedure for our crews, not an improvisation. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll survey your exact bridge and route during the free estimate.
Sometimes no, and we plan for that before dispatch. Several canal-side streets in Lighthouse Point require smaller vehicles or staging loads at bridge-accessible intersections. We pre-scout every route so we’re not learning your street layout on your clock. The binding quote accounts for any shuttle time required.
Yes. South Florida’s daily afternoon thunderstorms and May-October hurricane season create hard scheduling windows. We book piano moves in Lighthouse Point for early morning when possible, and we carry protective sheeting rated for sudden weather. Your piano is never left exposed on a ramp or in an open truck. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule around the season.
Measure first, then choose the alternate entry. Many 1960s-era garages in Lighthouse Point have openings too low for a piano on a standard dolly. We often route through sliding glass doors to canal-side patios, or disassemble the instrument when necessary. Forcing a piano through a too-small opening damages the instrument and the house. Our free in-home estimate includes measuring every access point.
Yes. We offer climate-controlled storage for pianos and fine art between homes. South Florida’s humidity and salt air will damage a piano left in a standard storage unit, so we maintain climate control as standard for these items, not as an upcharge. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers storage transitions too - if anything isn’t right when your piano reaches its final destination, one call brings a crew or a check. Call (855) 890-3455 to arrange storage with your move.
