Greg and his team were amazing I had a very complex move to hoist a 2000lb piece of machinery to a second floor office suite. These guys were so funny and professional they made a very complex moving job look easy and had fun doing it. They were great I would highly recommend them!!! read more

I had an excellent experience with Death Wish Piano (important note: contact Titan Crane directly (617) 782-0383 --same company, but the Death Wish phone and email didn't get answered). They helped deliver and remove a refrigerator from a third-floor apartment where the stairs couldn't fit a full-size fridge. Greg came by first to evaluate the situation and gave me a fair quote--much better than other companies that required a minimum number of workers or hours. On moving day, the crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and were both courteous and careful. They even removed and reattached the fridge doors to get it through the window. Highly recommend! read more

Death Wish Piano Movers - Fridge delivery! - Movers Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

Just a great company! Just moved into a beautiful condo! All was well but needed to get my piano to the second floor. Two companies failed and then this company was recommended to us. I was so worried that I would have to sell it. Death Wish Piano Movers in Boston. Awesome service - very careful and wonderful people who perform miracles Never hesitate with them and very reasonable considering all it took! A huge thanks to them Pat read more

These guys are miracle workers. I had a Hammond B3 and Leslie that needed to go up 3 difficult flights of stairs. The width of the clearance was literally the same as the width of the organ. They somehow managed to get it right to the desired spot, without even scuffing the walls! Magic. On top of their insane moving skills, they are also very professional, courteous, and friendly dudes. They went above and beyond and didn't charge extra. Their quote was a tad higher than some of the competition (but still very reasonable) but the few extra bucks were well spent. I can not recommend them enough! read more

I am so freaking happy right now! I am practically in tears. I was so worried I'd have to find a new home for my much-beloved 99 year old piano, and not only did they get it in the house when another company failed, they were THREE OF THE SWEETEST GUYS IN THE WORLD. I cannot say enough nice things. I am so happy my piano is home. Thank you thank you thank you thank you! read more

I cannot recommend Death Wish enough. They were fast, professional, no-BS, and actually went above and beyond and moved extra things for free. I wanted to move a Yamaha C1 Baby Grand piano from the suburbs to a 5-story walk-up in the South End of Boston. Other companies I called couldn't give me a firm price, but rather wanted to charge me hourly without estimating the number of hours for the job. One company came to look at the property first, and STILL wouldn't give me a price. They wouldn't commit to walking it up, or using a crane, and wanted to try both methods (and obviously charge for all of the hours, plus use of the crane). Then I called Death Wish. They asked where the piano was, and where it was going. Then gave me a flat rate that was very reasonable and included the use of their crane. They took care of the permitting. We met out in the burbs one morning and three guys packed up my piano in about 15 minutes. Each of them knew exactly what to do and when-- it was like clockwork. It was abundantly clear that they had all done this hundreds of times. I had absolutely no concern for the piano's safety. I mentioned that there was a (heavy) trash compactor in the garage I'd like to move. Without hesitation, the guys loaded it into the truck. We all drove to the South End. One guy went into my apartment and popped out my window in seconds. The other two put the piano on the crane and hoisted it up into the sky. The piano was in my apartment and set-up exactly where I wanted it in under 20 minutes. As the piano was being set up, I noticed the trash compactor was already hoisted up and ready to come through the window. They brought the compactor in and set it up in the kitchen. The whole job was complete in about an hour. These guys rock. read more

We had a move the baby grand piano from my parents' old place in Sharon to my place in Watertown, and I couldn't have picked a better group for the job. After a bit of google searching, I called them up and made an appointment. They were on time, courteous, funny, and charming. It felt more like I got some of my guy friends to move my piano instead of hired movers. Although it would have been MUCH easier to roll the piano though the front door and then down the front steps, they decided to carry the piano through the house, out the back door and then used the crane to lift it over the house and onto the driveway. Although fun to watch (my mom was having heart palpitations as it went over the roof), this may have been a bit unnecessary. I think they just wanted to play with the crane. Once they got to Watertown, they were quick and efficient, flirted with me and my mom, and then went on their way. The whole thing probably took about 2 hours (no traffic on the pike) and cost $500 (plus $20 each for tip). They definitely knew their pianos and were able to talk to me about the history of mine and the value. I would recommend these guys in a heartbeat. read more

Death Wish works smart, not hard. After 3 other companies tried and failed, Death Wish proved their reputation for being the company to call when no one else can move it. Thank you! read more

A very professional company. It was a pleasure doing business with them. The gentleman that showed up were very friendly and took extra measures to protect the house make sure there was no damage. They had to move a refrigerator and freezer to the second floor through a window. read more

Would not recommend this place at all. Had a similar experience with them not returning my initial email (in which I asked a price for moving a heavy adjustable mattress base from a second floor in Roslindale to a 1st floor in Brighton..so 4 days later I inquired a second time. In the initial email I was very detailed and explained to them that Jordan's furniture had to hoist it up to my 2nd floor porch & even included a picture of my home/porch for reference. Two days later my email was returned and they quoted $800 to hoist the item and $250 to deliver (less than 10 miles!) The mattress base cost less than that! I inquired many other places and each quote was under $400 INCLUDING delivery to new place! My husband and his friends ended up finding a way to do it themselves but I figured I'd share my overall experience with this company. If they didn't want my business they could have just said that rather than ignore my inquiry & then quote an absurd amount of money. Pictures of correspondence uploaded too. read more

I tried to call to set up a piano move days ago. The person I spoke with wouldn't even give me an estimate because I didn't know the height. I had the weight and estimated height, didn't know the exact height, so she wouldn't even discuss my move. Just told me to find out and call back. It's a little annoying to not get any information, but whatever, it was needed information so I provided it. Later that day, I sent an email with all the information; weight and dimensions, where it's coming from, where it's going, etc etc etc. Now here I am, over a week later, with no response yet. I've been calling also, but nobody is answering phones. I've heard so many good things about their service, it's just a pity to see that they're getting careless now. Wish I could have written a review based on actual service, rather than the lack of service I've received so far. read more

These guys are great. They've moved my piano three times and each time I am more impressed. The guy who didn't know the size of his piano and gave them two stars should realize that size does matter - whether they need a truck, a crane, or a truck and a lift all affects cost. Duh! Anyway, they are always on time, friendly, and damn good. Five stars. I'll use them again I am sure. read more

I recently moved across town, and my beast of a piano moved with me. Deathwish Piano Movers lived up to their name (because, let's face it, you would need a death wish to move my piano), and they were cheerful, professional, and wholly competent. The two great guys who moved the piano out of my old place spent more than half an hour wriggling it through a narrow hallway with tight turns, and the others who joined them at the new place spent the same amount of time dismantling then reassembling the outside door frame. They joked, they teased, they admitted that the piano is a monster--but they never grumbled, swore, or made me feel bad for asking them to do the job. What a pleasure! read more

I called three times and left two messages and never heard back. I was willing to pay their quoted fee for my move but I never heard back! What am I supposed to do, drive to Malden and knock on the door asking for a moving date? So stupid. Going with someone else. read more

When it comes to moving your piano you can do no better than Death Wish. I have used them several times and each time they satisfied. They had to move my Yamaha upright piano in and out of a 3rd floor apt. windows and did so effortlessly two times by crane, (another time by workers up a narrow stairwell), all w/o any problems, scratches, or damage, etc. Twenty stars! These guys are good and deserve every single one of them. Their work is hard to do and hard to find. read more

Always nice to see professionals at work! I gave them four stars instead of five because it took several calls to get them to come out. But when our movers left our couch in the garage because they couldn't get it up our narrow Cambridge staircase, these guys were able to assess the situation and get it in the house. They were quick and our beloved couch was safe! read more

I hired Death Wish Piano Movers to hoist my couch in through a second-story window. They were communicative, on time, responsible, and personable. This was a stress-free transaction with zero haggling and zero shenanigans (and anyone who's dealt with movers before knows all about shenanigans!). I was not at all worried about the safety of my couch, or of the building. They were quite competent, and I will absolutely hire them again. read more

They suck. Flat out. I called, spoke to someone in their office who told me I didn't need to reserve a spot because I just had a couch to move and to just call the day before I was ready. No problem. I called. I called. I emailed. I called. I left no less than 6 messages on consecutive days and called numerous times throughout the day. I never ever got a person on the phone again, I never got a response to my email. Ever. After 8 days of attempted contact with no return call or email i gave up and called father and son, who showed up an hour late and then decided that a 30" deep couch would not fit through a 32" wide opening. Thanks for wasting my time. Gentle Giant did it. No problem. Hire Gentle Giant. They're the only real movers in MA. Everyone else is just a poor imitation. Death wish is clearly too busy thinking they're movie stars on a crappy reality show to run a business anymore. Great name. But their service has gone to shit. Hire anyone else. Really. read more

These guys are fantastic! They were prompt, polite and perfect. It was fun to see the piano up in the air. These guys don't seem to tire and were smiling the whole time. I'd always call them first for any moving job. read more
