A piano coming down a brownstone stoop is not a job for extra hands and good intentions — it’s a job for a piano board, real straps, and a crew that has rigged one before. Same with a 700-pound gun safe wedged into a basement corner. Brooklyn Best Movers doesn’t muscle these down the stairs; Anthony’s crew rigs them properly, which is the difference between a scratched banister and a cracked one.
Uprights and grands move for a flat $295, gun safes run $250–$385 depending on weight and access. Both can be added to a full move or booked as a standalone job — either way, the crew brings a piano board, moving straps, and a plan for the specific staircase or doorway before anyone lifts.

What This Service Costs
Crew size sets your hourly rate — $145/hr for two movers, $190/hr for three, $235/hr for four — and if you’d rather lock in a firm number first, Anthony or Marcus can walk the job ahead of time and write one up
The truck, dollies, and furniture pads all ride inside that hourly rate, nothing billed separately: $145 for two movers, $190 for three, $235 for four, and $50/hr for each additional mover after that. A $175 deposit holds your date and is credited straight to the final invoice. Basic coverage comes standard on every job, and if your building requires a certificate of insurance or a freight elevator reservation, Gina has it arranged before your crew ever shows up.
