What to Know About Moving a Piano Upstairs or Downstairs

Stairs are not automatically a problem, but they are always a planning question. Count them and describe them.

What to measure

Count the steps, note any turns, and measure the narrowest point.

  • Number of steps in each flight
  • Landings and their size
  • Turn direction at landings
  • Handrails that may or may not be removable

Why it matters

Stair moves usually need more people and different equipment. The contractor decides whether the staircase can be used safely and what the plan will be.

When stairs are not the answer

Sometimes another door, a different room or a rescheduled window is simpler. Ask your contractor what options they see.
