Piano and Pool Table Moving Services
Pianos and pool tables are among the heaviest and most delicate items to move — one wrong step can cause thousands in damage. Calgary Prime Movers uses specialized equipment, trained experts, and proven techniques to safely transport and reinstall your grand piano, upright piano, or slate pool table — whether across town or long-distance.
What’s Included in Every Piano & Pool Table Move
These specialty moves require precision and the right tools. Every service includes:
- Professional Assessment & Planning — On-site evaluation of item size, weight, access (stairs, elevators, doorways), and disassembly needs.
- Full Disassembly — Careful breakdown of pool table (rails, slate, legs, felt removal) or piano (pedals, lyre, lid, action removal if needed).
- Custom Crating & Padding — Heavy-duty blankets, stretch wrap, edge protectors, and custom wooden crates for protection during transport.
Why Choose Us?
Specialized Equipment & Trained Experts
We use professional-grade tools (piano skids, slate lifters, hydraulic jacks) and teams experienced in these exact items — not general movers who risk cracking slate or damaging strings/frames.
Damage Prevention & Precision Reinstallation
Pianos require careful handling to avoid action damage; pool tables need perfectly leveled slate for playability. We guarantee no structural harm and proper setup — backed by our satisfaction promise.
Calgary-Focused Safety & Reliability
We know local challenges (snow, stairs in older homes, condo rules) and plan routes/access carefully. Timely, insured service means your valuable items arrive safely and ready to enjoy.
Customer Satisfaction is Our Priority!
Don’t just take our word for it—hear from our happy clients who trusted us with their moves. We guarantee quality service that exceeds expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How heavy are pianos and pool tables, and can you move them up/down stairs?
Upright pianos weigh 300–600 lbs; grand pianos 500–1,200+ lbs. Pool tables (with slate) often 700–1,200 lbs. We use stair-climbing dollies, ramps, and harnesses to safely navigate stairs or tight spaces.
Do you disassemble and reassemble the items fully?
Yes — complete disassembly (pool table slate/legs/rails; piano pedals/action if required) and expert reassembly/leveling are standard. We bring all necessary tools.
Will my piano need tuning after the move?
Most pianos shift slightly during transport and benefit from tuning afterward. We can coordinate professional tuning as an add-on for optimal performance.
Can you replace pool table felt during the move?
Yes — we offer new felt installation (various colors/qualities) if the old felt is worn or damaged. This is often done during reassembly for best results.
How far in advance should I book piano or pool table moving?
Book 3–6 weeks ahead, especially for large items or peak seasons. We need time for scheduling specialized teams and equipment. Shorter notice is possible but may incur rush fees.
