Pianos, Safes & Oversize Pieces

Pianos, Gun Safes, and Oversize Specialty Pieces

Some items are not a two-guys-and-a-dolly job. An upright piano, an 800-pound gun safe down in a Sun City basement, a slate pool table from a converted Vistancia bonus room, a cast-iron Sonoran-tile-set wood stove: get the weight balance wrong on any of them and you damage the piece, gouge the floor, or hurt someone. Specialty work is common around Glendale because plenty of Valley homes have an upright in the great room, a Liberty safe in the garage, and at least one statement piece that needs more than muscle to move. TLC handles them with the right gear and crews who have done it many times, not as a one-off improvisation on your stairs.

For pianos we bring proper piano boards, lifting straps, skid boards, and walk-boards for any step or threshold the carry has to clear. E-track inside the truck box locks the instrument tight against the wall so it does not rock on Loop 101 turns. Climate-controlled box trucks keep the wood from cycling through the 30-degree summer day-night swing that knocks tunings out. Uprights, console pianos, and baby grands each get their own method. A grand comes off its legs and rides on its padded side, never wrestled down a staircase intact. Specialty pricing starts at $395, scoped to the piece, the stairs, and the route to the truck.

Heavy, awkward, and one-of-a-kind

Gun safes are their own beast: enormous weight packed in a small footprint, almost always headed up or down a flight of stairs. We bring heavy-duty stair-climbing equipment, enough hands to keep the safe controlled the whole way, and Sonoran-tile floor runners along the entire carry path so a slipped wheel doesn’t crack a $400 saltillo tile. Same approach covers large gym equipment, statuary, slate-top pool tables, and oversize Sub-Zero kitchen appliances — anything where standard hand-truck-and-blanket is not enough.
