piano removal
northwest indiana.
A piano is the one item nobody wants to help you move. The Northwest Indiana crew brings a piano board, a four-wheel dolly and straps, protects the doorframes and gets it out without turning your hallway into a casualty. Uprights, spinets, consoles, baby grands and organs, quoted flat.

What goes on the truck.
Loads with the crew
- Upright, spinet, console and studio pianos
- Baby grand and grand pianos, legs removed on site
- Church and home organs, electric and pipe-console styles
- Digital pianos and keyboards with stands
- Benches, covers and sheet music cabinets
Stays behind, and why
- Player piano mechanisms that need a specialist to disassemble, until you send a photo
- Instruments the owner wants appraised first (the crew can wait, just say so)
Before the crew arrives.
Clear a path at least as wide as the piano from where it sits to the door.
Take photos of the piano, the doorway and any stairs or turns on the way out.
Tell the crew if it is a grand. Legs and the lyre come off before it moves, and that adds a step.
Move cars out of the driveway so the truck can back close to the door.
How it is priced.
Pianos are quoted as a single flat item. What moves the number is the type (an upright is simpler than a grand), how many stairs stand between it and the truck, and whether it is going to a donation partner or to disposal. You get the number from your photos before the crew is dispatched.
Get today's numberWhere it lands.
Playable pianos go to donation partners, schools and churches in Lake and Porter counties first. Instruments past saving are broken down: the cast iron plate and strings are recycled as metal, the hardwood case goes to a licensed facility.

Straight answers from the Northwest Indiana crew. Anything not covered here, call and ask.
(219) 758-8562Q 01Can you move a piano out of a basement in Crown Point?
Yes. Basement pianos are the most common call. The crew uses a piano board and a stair dolly and adds a third person for the stairs. Send a photo of the staircase and the turn at the top.
Q 02Do you take grand pianos?
Yes. The crew removes the legs and lyre, tips the piano onto a padded board and rolls it out on its side, then reassembles nothing because it is leaving. Baby grands fit through a standard door this way.
Q 03Is a piano priced by weight?
No. It is a flat quote based on the instrument type, the stairs and the exit path. Weight is already baked into that.
Q 04Will you donate my piano instead of dumping it?
If it plays and holds tune reasonably, the crew tries donation partners first. Tell them it works when you call and they will route it that way.
Q 05Can you remove an organ?
Yes. Home organs and console church organs come out the same way as an upright. Large pipe organs need a specialist and the crew will say so.
Q 06Do I need to be home for a piano pickup?
Someone needs to open the door and confirm the price on the pad. After that you can leave.
Q 07Do you serve Michigan City and La Porte for piano removal?
Yes. LaPorte County is part of the route. A piano pickup there is usually paired with other stops that day.
Q 08What if the piano is already in pieces?
Even easier. Loose parts are hauled by the load like any other junk, and the cast iron plate gets recycled.
Point at it. The Northwest Indiana crew takes it from there.
Tell us what is going and when. The crew calls back with a window and a ballpark, and the exact price gets confirmed on site.
