Thanks, Serge, for the quick, professional, and reasonably priced service. Will use you again - highly recommend!
Overview
The upright came with the house. Nobody has played it in years, the charity you called asked for a photo and then said no, and it weighs more than the family can lift. So it stays.
We bring the dolly, the straps and the floor protection, carry it out and haul it away. A ground-floor upright runs $200 to $400, and you get the number before we touch it.
At a glance
- Upfront pricing from $200, confirmed before we start
- Same-day and next-day appointments, open 24 hours a day
- We take upright pianos, baby grand pianos, grand pianos, spinet pianos and more
- Licensed and insured, locally owned in West Sacramento
- We donate what is usable and recycle what we can
- No tips expected and no hidden dump fees
Types of Pianos We Remove
We take:
- Upright pianos
- Baby grand pianos
- Grand pianos
- Spinet pianos
- Console pianos
- Digital pianos
- Organs
Text a photo and say which floor it is on. Ground floor and a turning staircase are two different prices.
Why Piano Removal Is Different From Hauling a Couch
A couch weighs what it looks like. A piano does not:
- 300 to 1,200 pounds or more, most of it in the cast-iron plate
- Casters that gouge hardwood and tear carpet when pushed
- Wider than most door frames once it is on a dolly
- Stairs that need two people and a strap, not a friend with a truck
Done by hand it usually ends with a back injury, a gouged door frame or a piano stuck on the landing. Two of us, a dolly and a ramp make it a 30 to 90 minute job.
How a Piano Removal Goes
- 01
Assessment
From your photo we check the piano type, the floor, the number of steps and whether the hallway turns. That sets the price.
- 02
Protection & Prep
We pad the door frames and stair rail, lay floor protection along the path and strap the piano to a dolly.
- 03
Safe Removal
We walk it out on the dolly, ramp it into the truck and strap it down. You clear the path, nothing else.
- 04
Responsible Disposal or Donation
A playable piano goes to a charity when one will take it. Most go to the transfer station, iron plate pulled for scrap when we can.
Can You Donate a Piano in Sacramento?
Sometimes, and it is worth trying first. Charities get offered more pianos than they can use, so they want ones that are:
- Under about 20 to 30 years old
- Playable, with no cracked soundboard or sticking keys
- Recently tuned and holding pitch
If yours has sat untuned for a decade, a donation is unlikely. Tell us anyway and we will try.
How Much Does Piano Removal Cost in Sacramento?
Five things set the price:
- Type of piano
- Location in home
- Stairs involved
- Access difficulty
- Weight
Typical Sacramento piano removal ranges:
Upright piano (ground floor)
$200 to $400
Upstairs removal
$350 to $600+
Grand piano

Same-Day Piano Removal Available
Text a photo in the morning and we can often be there that afternoon:
- Same-day service when the schedule allows
- Next-day appointments most days
- Weekend and evening slots
Piano Removal for Realtors & Estate Cleanouts
Realtors and executors call us when the piano is holding up a property:
- Estate cleanouts, once the family has taken what they want
- Probate properties being cleared for sale
- Pre-listing prep before the photographer
- Rental turnovers
If the rest of the house needs clearing too, the piano and the load go in one visit.

Serge was awesome to work with. I am very grateful I found his company. I contacted them on a Tuesday and by Wednesday the hot tub was gone. He was on time and worked hard. Left the area cleaned up and I’m so excited to have my backyard back!

Messaged TCJ Hauling in need of getting rid of some junk that was accumulating in the garage. Not only was the company able to come the same day but were also very punctual and realiable which above all things mean the most me. The service was fast and the vehicle used was modern and able to accommodate for all the items I needed to be removed. Very Prosfessional and accommodating will definitely call them again and tell my friends and family to do the same. Thank you TCJ Hauling!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you remove a piano from upstairs?
Yes. Upstairs removals run $350 to $600 and up. Tell us how many steps and whether the staircase turns.
Do I need to prepare the piano?
No. Leave it where it is, lid down. Clear a path to the door and pick up loose rugs.
Do you recycle old pianos?
Partly. The iron plate and strings go to scrap when we can pull them; the wood case goes to the transfer station.
How long does removal take?
30 to 90 minutes. A ground-floor upright is the short end; a console above a turning staircase is the long end.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry liability insurance, and we pad door frames and stair rails so it never has to be used.
