Piano removal Services in Memphis, Tennessee

Piano removal is a specialized service requiring more than standard junk hauling. Whether you're downsizing in Midtown Memphis, clearing an estate in East Memphis, or removing an old upright from a home near Shelby Farms Park, EvoNorth Junk Remova has the equipment and expertise to handle pianos safely. We serve residential clients throughout Memphis, Whitehaven, Hickory Hill, Raleigh, and surrounding communities, protecting your hardwood floors, doorframes, and stairwells during removal.

Our piano removal process begins with a detailed assessment of your instrument's size, weight, and location within your home. Our team uses furniture dollies, moving blankets, piano boards, and lifting straps to safely navigate the instrument from the room, through hallways, down stairs if needed, and into our removal truck. We then haul the piano to appropriate recycling, donation, or disposal facilities. Most residential piano removals in Memphis neighborhoods complete within 2-4 hours, though larger estates or multi-story homes may require additional time.

Estate Piano Removal in Germantown, Tennessee

A 2,400 sq ft colonial home in Germantown contained a 7-foot Steinway grand piano that had belonged to the homeowner's mother for 40 years. The piano was located in the formal living room on the main floor, and the family decided to remove it during their estate cleanout in late 2023. EvoNorth completed the removal in 3 hours, carefully navigating the instrument down a narrow hallway and out through the front door without scratching the hardwood floors or doorframes. The piano was transported to a Memphis music school for donation, providing the family with a tax-deductible receipt.
