What Customers Say
“3rd floor on Saint-Joseph, outdoor spiral staircase. I was told it was impossible by two companies. Up & Out came, assessed in 5 minutes, and had my upright piano up in under an hour. No damage. Nothing touching the walls. Absolute professionals.”

“Moving my piano from the Plateau to a new apartment on Laurier. The crew knew exactly how to handle the angle on the outdoor stairs. Watching them work was impressive — you can tell they've done this a hundred times.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you get a piano up a Plateau spiral staircase?
Yes — it depends on the piano dimensions and staircase diameter, but we've done it many times. We assess on arrival and give you an honest answer before we start.
What if the piano can't fit the staircase?
In rare cases, we'll advise that a crane lift or window removal is needed. We'll tell you upfront rather than attempting an unsafe move.
Do I need to be present?
Yes — you or someone you trust should be present at both ends to direct placement and confirm the piano's condition.
Is the $250 surcharge per piano or per move?
Per piano. If you're moving two pianos in the same job, the surcharge applies twice.
