↴ See Our Flat-Rate Piano Pricing

Long-distance piano moves out of Chattanooga run on the same company trucks and the same crew from pickup to delivery. Here are the four regional lanes we run most, with typical drive time and flat-rate pricing by piano type.

Moving a different direction? We run interstate hauls beyond these four lanes too — send us your pickup and delivery addresses and we’ll price it the same way, by piano type, in writing.

A Few Things Worth Knowing Before Moving Day

Does my piano ride with other people's furniture on a long-distance move?▾

No. A move to Nashville, Knoxville, Atlanta, or Huntsville rides on its own load with our crew, not shared space on a general freight truck.

How do you keep a piano stable over a 100-plus mile drive?▾

We brace the piano on a board with the lid, legs, and pedals secured so it can't shift, and pad it against temperature swings in the truck — that keeps most pianos from needing more than a routine tuning on arrival.

Is the price different if my grand piano has to come down a staircase before the long-distance leg even starts?▾

Stair and access details factor into the quote before the truck leaves Chattanooga, so the flat rate you sign covers the whole job — rigging out of the house and the drive to Nashville, Knoxville, Atlanta, or Huntsville.

Yolanda Crates Every Piano the Same Way, Local or Cross-State

Yolanda Briggs runs prep and crating to one standard whether the piano’s going three miles across Chattanooga or three states up the interstate toward Nashville.

Walter Still Takes the Call on the Hard Ones

A concert grand down a spiral staircase or a piano wedged onto a Signal Mountain switchback still gets Walter Shoffner on the phone before the crew shows up, not a dispatcher reading an address off a screen.

What Makes Chattanooga Families Call Shoffner First

Restoration Background, Not Just a Rigging Crew

Owner Walter Shoffner spent twelve years rebuilding upright and grand pianos before he ever loaded one onto a truck, and that’s still who Chattanooga calls for the hardest rigging jobs.

Terrence Trains Every Rigger on Boards and Skids Before They Run Solo

New hires shadow rigging jobs under Terrence Wade until they can handle the boards, skids, and stair straps without him standing over their shoulder — nobody learns on your piano first.

Denise Confirms Access Before a Truck Ever Gets Scheduled

Stairwells, elevators, gate codes, and venue load-in windows get confirmed with the building days ahead, so a crew doesn’t show up to a piano that can’t get through the door it was measured for.

Tennessee Registration and Federal Authority, No Placeholder Numbers

Our household goods registration and our own federal DOT and MC authority are on file before you ever ask to see them — no subcontracted carrier standing in for us on move day.

A $175 Deposit That Comes Back If Plans Change

Cancel or reschedule 72 hours or more before your move date and the deposit is refunded in full — an ice storm or a closing delay doesn’t cost you anything extra.

No Fuel, Mileage, or Humidity-Season Charge Inside Hamilton County

The flat rate quoted on the phone is the flat rate on the invoice, whether the move happens in a dry October or the middle of a humid Chattanooga August.

Yolanda Crates to One Standard, Local or Long-Distance

Padding, blanket-wrapping, and crating follow the same process whether the piano is going three miles across town or three states up the interstate toward Nashville.

Riggers Who Already Know Lookout Mountain and the North Shore

Switchback driveways on Signal Mountain and narrow shotgun-house staircases downtown aren’t a surprise to a crew that rigs them regularly — the flat rate accounts for the terrain before the truck arrives.

One Crew Chief, Start to Finish

Terrence or Yolanda runs your job from the first walkthrough to the final setdown — not a different lead every time the piano changes hands.

Recent Words From People We’ve Moved

Nothing rewritten, nothing trimmed — this is what people told us after the truck pulled away.

Three flights, one landing turn, no elevator — the crew had our upright wrapped and rigged through it in under twenty minutes.

An ice storm pushed our date back five days and the quote didn’t change by a dollar — same crew, same truck, just a Thursday instead of a Saturday.

★★★★★

Our piano was crated for the drive to Huntsville and came off the truck exactly like it left — not one hairline crack in the finish.

Odalys Ferreira
★★★★★

Load-in for the recital happened two hours before doors, exactly when Denise said it would — the piano was tuned and ready before a single seat filled.

My grandmother’s upright is eighty years old and they moved it like they knew that — blankets on every corner, straps that never touched the finish.
