We needed a piano moved into a storage truck and I thought I could handle it myself. Boy, was I wrong. I called Jimmy's to see about getting them to move it for me on short notice. They called and said they would be there in an hour. They arrived promptly and with the right equipment, got the piano moved right into the truck. I really like patronizing local businesses and this is one that I would highly recommend. The crew was very friendly, very organized, and efficient. The price was more than fair considering the short notice. If you need a piano moved, look no further than Jimmy's. You won't be disappointed. read more

Nothing but good things to say about my experience. Bought a baby grand on a Thursday afternoon, called up Jimmy's, and by Friday morning had this beauty in my home. Anthony and his team were very professional, very careful, got my piano moved, assembled, and ready to go in a very efficient manner. Fair price, great service, and even gave me some tips on where to get some pieces of the piano repaired and provided the number for a local tuner. Overall fantastic experience, and I will definitely use them again if I ever am in need. read more

These guys are the best in the biz! Upstairs, downstairs, around corners, grand pianos, uprights, San Francisco, Sacramento, Tahoe, they do it all. I have had to move my Yamaha baby grand several times over the last 15 years and they have been great every time. Anthony and his crew are always right on time and able to do the move flawlessly. It's an amazing feat. And booking via Yelp with Kendra is easy. Highly recommend. read more

These guys are awesome! Showed up right on time, were careful and courteous and I couldn't recommend them highly enough. Wow pianos are HEAVY! They lifted it up and moved my piano without any issues. They also recommended a local tuner. Excellent! read more

I have used Jimmy's Piano the past 3 years to store my baby grand piano . I am writing this so no one else will have to suffer as I did . I had a piano store that was willing to to pick up my piano and sell it on consignment based on photos I had sent before I put my piano in storage . The first problem was that Jimmy's Piano would not allow another moving company to pick it up which they said was due to their insurance company policy however there was no contract and this was not in writing . We went ahead and let them delivery it and once it arrived I recieved a call from the piano store and was told there were too many scratches and other defects that they were not able to sell it in this condition . They questioned whether it was stored in a climate appropriate storage and if it was wrapped in an appropriate manner and because of this I would not recommend this company to store your piano . read more

A+ service, would highly recommend. Prompt, professional, friendly. And when confronted with an impossible move job got it up the stairs like it was my sons toy piano. Outstanding. Will hire again. read more

Kendra at Jimmy's piano moving service was an amazing communicator! She made sure I had all of my questions answered and did an incredible job of answering in a very timely manner. The "CREW" of Anthony, Dwayne, & Dijon were professional and considerate. It was raining a little when they move our baby grand, but they took great care of the instrument. They came within the 2 hour time window and were done just a little after. I appreciated that they handled the piano with care and they were friendly and courteous. I will be sharing their company with anyone who might need their piano moved!! Thanks Jimmy's Piano Moving service read more

Jimmy's Piano Moving - Beautiful baby grand - Piano Services Near Me - Sacramento, California

I can attest to how wonderful Jimmy's Piano Moving company is!!! Last week they helped me bring home our family piano, that we had to give away to family friends when we moved out of the country in 1978. Jimmy's helped move my 100+ year old upright 'Marlowe' piano from Alameda to Woodland, and they did an absolutely AMAZING job!!! They were so careful, and handled this instrument with such skill, that it was a joy to watch the process. I THANK YOU WITH ALL MY HEART for helping me bring home this beloved piano from my childhood. After 45 years, our family friends were moving, asked me if I would like to have it back, and made a dream of mine come true. The big piano moving day was one of the happiest days of my life. You guys are GREAT, and I highly recommend your service to anyone who cherishes their piano! read more

Great experience from start to finish. I set up an appointment through Yelp and I got a response extremely quickly. I was offered an appointment during the upcoming weekend just like I wanted. Anthony and his team arrived 15 minutes into the agreed-upon window of time. They moved like a well oiled machine. They moved our piano with care including when driving on the freeway. They are efficient and knowledgeable about pianos. read more

My piano and I go everywhere together - I couldn't imagine life without it! So I had to find someone that not only could do the job but do so without charging an arm and leg. I have a Yamaha U3, the largest upright you can get. (The sound is fabulous too - much better than some baby grands that I've tried out IMO. ) Although it's an upright, it is very heavy and awkward. Anthony not only had to back up his trailer down a very complicated driveway on a slope to move the piano, but also had to navigate a tricky walkway at the destination. We decided to move it in via the back patio door. There was a slight chip on one side of the piano that I noticed from the move. He sent a professional piano repairer to fix it the next business day. I would definitely use them again. read more

I contacted Jimmy's on Thursday because I just bought a piano. Jimmy's had an opening on Friday 900 am. They moved my recently purchased piano from the seller that lived in Davis to my house in Roseville. They arrived at my house with the piano. The movers were very professional. Jimmy's price to move the piano was fair. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 stars was they did gouge one of my house door jam while moving the piano into the room. Overall, I'm very happy with Jimmy's and will use them again. read more

Very professional service. They called me back promptly and was able to move our baby grand quickly and carefully. My son started playing on it immediately. Highly recommend Jimmys. read more

If you need your piano moved you should definitely go to Jimmy's Piano Moving. I needed someone to move a piano from a POD into my parent's new house. I sent a message via Yelp and Kendra responded quickly and got everything booked online. When I booked we thought the POD was going to be dropped in the driveway and that it would be a simple move. The quote was incredibly reasonable. The POD was not dropped in the driveway. It was dropped on the side of the house, which is gravel, and it rained the day before so the movers arrived to a muddy mess and a much more difficult move than they'd anticipated. Our piano is an old upright and is incredibly heavy. They didn't charge us more and they were still able to get the piano into the house in under 30 minutes. One last, and very important note. When they finished moving the piano they apologized to my mom saying that they didn't know what happened, but somehow they had broken a foot pedal on the piano and that they would pay to have it fixed. The pedal was actually broken before the move, so they hadn't damaged the piano at all, but the fact that he said something shows incredible integrity from their business. Completely satisfied customer here! read more

Needed a piano moved quickly - reached out to them on a Saturday and got scheduled for Monday! Great price, great communication, and awesome friendly team. read more

They moved my piano in November last year and they were amazing and kind. My friend who is a professional pianist recommended them! They made my move so easy for me! Thank you!! Kim read more

The whole entire process was wonderful and the team who came to move my piano were lovely. Highly recommend!

Wonderful work by a talented duo! I made my first call to the company Fri morning after securing the purchase of my new piano. They answered promptly, asked a few key questions, and within two minutes, I had an appointment for Sunday. The next day, Saturday, they called saying they had an opening due to a cancellation, and could I receive the piano a day earlier. Sure could! When the two-person team came, they were fast, efficient, and friendly, explaining the process of reassembling the grand piano. And they even left a card for a local tuner. Great stuff, guys! read more

These guys were responsive to my requests and very cautious in moving my piano. They were very professional with the job. I really appreciate the them being available to move the piano on short notice. THANK YOU!! read more

I was able to arrange Jimmy's Piano Moving to move my piano on short notice (same day!). They were responsive, showed up on time & did the job! Highly recommend read more

Really happy with these guys. Very professional and took care of our piano move excellently. We are currently moving out of California and had to return a borrowed piano. Gentlemen were courteous, polite and friendly. Piano arrived in one piece and the recipient complemented them as well. Will very much likely recommend this company. Thank you JPM! Job well done! read more

responded very quickly and although they do not offer the service ( tuning) that I wanted, they did give a recommendation. Helpful.

We used Jimmy's Piano Moving to move one piano twice and another once. Excellent and thoughtful; careful and at a more than fair price.

I used them in Davis recently to move an upright piano. It was super easy to schedule and the movers were friendly and professional (and masked). read more

I called 4 moving companies and Jimmy's turned out to be the best value. Upon arrival the movers realized I had stairs and that there would be an extra charge. Kendra was fair in refunding the cost of the stairs to maintain the integrity of the initial quote. Overall the movers were on time, professional and efficient. After my experience with them, they deserve 5 stars and can recommend that they offer the best value. read more

Jimmy's has moved a couple pianos for me. They are always very careful and their prices are reasonable.

I had new carpet put in my house and just needed someone to move my baby grand out of my living room then back again on the new carpet. Everything went as planned so can't complain about anything. I would recommend to others. read more

As always this company has never disappointed! I can say this because I have used Jimmy's to move my baby grand piano )believe it or not) FIVE times! --Yes I've moved often over the past 10 years! This time they carefully packed it and strapped it into our rented 16' U-Haul and we transported it ourselves to Utah where we're moving! I'm actually sad we won't be needing Jimmy's Piano Moving services again, but I promise you they will do a stellar job for you! Anthony knows how to make sure your piano travels safe! Thank you so much!!!!! read more

Our experience with Jimmy's Piano Moving was wonderful. The two gentlemen who helped us out were polite, straight forward, and man they made moving a heavy piano look easy! Prices are very reasonable, they took great care with our vintage piano, and they got the job done quickly. I highly recommend them and would use them again in the future. read more

We've used these guys twice now to move an upright grand that weighs way too much for regular movers to deal with. But Jimmy and his guys are fantastic! I've had to move this piano without movers twice and it took us 3 strong men and me to do it those times. And it was nerve wracking the entire time, especially up and down stairs. Both times these guys only needed two guys and were very quick, yet careful. I've had to call last minute after movers who said they could do it bailed on me after trying to lift it and failing. Jimmy fit me in and didn't charge anything extra. It's not cheap to have a piano moved. I don't know how their prices compare, but it seems fair to me. Each move has cost me more than I could sell the piano for, but it's well worth the money not to run the risk of hurting myself or my loved ones trying to move this beast on our own anymore! read more

The company is great. They delivered my piano safely. Well packed and secure. They were quick, courteous and very reasonable. I have already referred them to friends. I will definitely use them again read more

They were so quick to respond! They moved my oak piano quick and on time. Thank you!

I don't usually write Yelp reviews but I am extremely disappointed with this company and their professionalism and feel like people should know. I see that I am not the only person who had this same negative experience. I recently purchased an antique piano from a woman who lives about a mile away from me. Because the seller of the piano was especially concerned with the condition of her home, I was diligent in making sure the company I selected used proper moving techniques and had insurance. I spoke with Kendra of Jimmy's Piano Moving several times to schedule/re-schedule a time to move the piano. The company was very accommodating. My plan was to provide them with a hefty tip for their flexibility in this situation. The owner of the company, Anthony, arrived along with two other helpers. They padded the stairs coming out of the seller's home, and strapped the piano to a board. They proceeded to strong-arm the piano slowly down the stairs. It didn't look safe because the blankets they used to pad the stairs kept slipping around. They almost made it down when the piano started to tip and they were unable to right it. The piano hit the seller's staircase banister and broke off a cap on the bottom post. Jimmy apologized but made excuses for his fail by saying "that's why I don't like to do moves on painted stairs." First of all, I specifically mentioned that there were painted stairs when I booked the move, so if you agree to DO the job, please don't complain about the conditions of the job when you fail at being successful, especially when you charge a premium for this condition. Anthony assured the seller he would take care of it immediately and pay for it. Fast-forward to the delivery point. I live at ground level; all they had to do was wheel the piano in. They were rolling it down the sidewalk when for no reason, they DROPPED IT FLAT ON ITS BACK. See photo. It made a horrible noise and I had absolutely no idea what the damage was going to be. Anthony CURSED repeatedly (and loudly) and my neighbors were outside and it was embarrassing. When they finally righted the piano to assess the damage, we could see that the right post holding the lid on had broken off, detaching the lid completely from the piano. In addition, the keys were completely out of alignment - some were sunken in, some were popped out, the tops of some had broken off. Anthony reassured me that he'd have his piano repair guy call me in the morning and that he could fix anything. He didn't require me to pay for the move until the piano was fixed. The repair man called me the next morning and let me know that he only fixes external structural/cosmetic damage but that he doesn't do anything internal and that I'd have to get a technician to come out and do that. He came that morning and was very professional. However, that was two hours off of work that had to be taken because of Anthony's error. I left that day for a backpacking trip and was out of service for the next 4 days. When I came back I had two voicemails from Jimmy's piano moving asking me to make payment. I called them back and let them know that I had just received their voicemails and was going to get a tuner to come out next week (Anthony said I would have to wait two weeks to get it tuned), and that if there was any additional damage I would let them know. Anthony called me back and left me an angry message saying that I was wasting his time and that my piano was already fixed (um.. there is still a key that doesn't work and P.S. did you LOOK at the piano? No.) and that I was just trying to get a free move out of him. Excuse me? I called back and he proceeded to YELL at me (the people I was with in the car could hear him yelling through my phone) and argue with me over whether there was still damage to the piano and that I was trying to dodge payment. He wouldn't even talk to me and instead put Kendra on the phone to talk to me who then tried to make excuses for the mishaps and Anthony's unprofessional behavior. They asked me to send a check to pay for the services instead of taking my credit card payment. I have ZERO paperwork for this move and no invoice. They offered NO discount for damaging my piano. Not only do I find this situation to be completely unprofessional (you dropped my piano TWICE), but this is also detrimental to the integrity of my antique piano (who knows what this does to its true value?) and extremely inconvenient as now I need to make multiple appointments to get the piano fixed - IF it's even able to be repaired to its original condition. This is business. When I hire a company to do a job, I expect the job to be done right. And if mishaps occur, act professional about it and do what you need to do to treat your customers with respect. I will NEVER recommend this company to anyone. read more

Jimmy's Piano Moving - Self-explanatory. - Piano Services Near Me - Sacramento, California

I called Jimmy with a last-minute move after my regular movers couldn't find a piano skip. It was Thursday and we had to have the piano out by Saturday at 8AM. My piano is an older upright and...it was on the second floor, up a single flight of concrete stairs. That's right: they had to get a piano down a flight of stairs. 3 guys arrived on Friday and they definitely knew what they were doing. Got the piano down the stairs and to my new place without a scratch. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely recommended. read more

I recently got a free baby grand piano off Craig's list, but the only catch was that I had to move it. Spray her than try to move it my self, I called around and got quotes from some piano moving companies. I chose jimmy's because they were the cheapest. They couldn't do it till the next day, which I was ok with, but I would have preferred same day. The guy that takes the calls gave me a window of between 12 and 2 that they would come to pick up the piano, I wasn't going to be there when they picked it up, but I asked that they call me when they left the pickup location so that I could leave work and wait for them at my house. So then 2 o'clock rolls around and I still hadn't heard any thing! So I called and the phone guy said he would call the delivery guy and then call me back. So about 10 min later he called back and said the would be at my house in 20 min..... 40min later they showed up with the piano! I will say that the actual physical moving of the piano was very well done. The two guys that showed up worked really well together.... Other then that though they were kind of sloppy. They helllllla shook out their moving blankets in my house, which got all kinds of junk every where including some parts of the piano that had come lose. For $225 I kind of thought I would get a little more, but I guess that's what the cheapest piano mover gets you. read more

Jimmy's showed up on time today. They were respectful of my property. These guys know what they're doing. My family member at the delivery end was also impressed. I have other family members in the Sacramento area and would highly recommend Jimmy's. read more

Really excellent moving company -- I think they really went above and beyond for me in my piano move. I had a large (7 and a half foot) piano that unfortunately was too large for the space I had intended to move it to. These guys moved the piano across multiple states, attempted to move it into my new space, and after realizing it would be too large, they stored it for me in their facility and helped me as I was selling it. All around their pricing is extremely competitive and the owners are very helpful, reasonable, and responsive. If you have a piano move around the Sacramento area, I would highly recommend giving them a call. read more

Today, Jimmy's Piano Moving, provided on time, efficient, capable, outstanding service to our family. My husband's father's piano, needed to be moved from a storage unit to our home, in order to save it for our grandson. The piano was old and fragile, but loved. Jimmy and his wonderful young son arrived early in the 2 hour window they committed to, but were concerned they might be late. They tackled the job with energy, and regard for the history, and began by tightening a loose front leg, since I had expressed concern for that weakness. I loved the way they worked together. The way the father spoke to his son,so gently, as they tackled the task at hand. Their personal warmth and professionalism was evident. I was so glad we chose THIS company for our special need. Thank you, gentlemen. You were a pleasure to work with. read more
