Piano Removal & Disposal in Montreal

Got an upright or grand piano you no longer use? Piano removal in Montreal requires specialized equipment and technique — an upright piano typically weighs between 300-500 lbs, and a grand piano can exceed 700 lbs. We handle the move safely, without damaging your stairs, walls, or floors.

Why not move a piano yourself?

Beyond the sheer weight, pianos are bulky and awkwardly balanced to carry — moving one without the right equipment (specialized dollies, straps, ramps) carries a real risk of injury and property damage. Our team is used to narrow staircases, Montreal triplexes, and the tight turns typical of downtown apartments.

What happens to your piano

Depending on its condition, a piano can go a few different ways: donation to a school, community organization, or family; resale if the instrument is still good quality; or dismantling and material recycling (wood, metal, steel strings, felt) if the piano is no longer playable. We always prioritize reuse before recycling.

How much does piano removal cost?

Price depends on the piano type (upright vs. grand), access (ground floor vs. walk-up, outdoor stairs), and distance to the truck. For an upright piano with easy access, expect roughly $150-$350. For a grand piano or difficult access (multiple floors, no elevator), pricing runs higher — we always give you an accurate estimate after discussing your specific situation.

Is free piano removal possible?

If your piano is still in good working condition and an organization or school is willing to take it, removal can sometimes be free or reduced-cost — we evaluate each situation case by case. Contact us with photos and the instrument’s condition to find out if your piano qualifies.
