Piano Removal in Salem & the North Shore

We haul out upright and grand pianos

An upright and a grand are two different jobs, so the first thing I ask is which one it is. An upright goes onto a dolly whole and walks out with enough hands on it to keep it under control, which on a bad staircase means more hands and a set of straps. A grand or a baby grand comes apart before it moves: the lid comes off, then the music desk, the legs, the lyre and the pedal box, and the case goes out on its side. We do the disassembly, all of it, on site. You do not need to take a screw out before we get there, and you do not need to line up help.

How We Handle It

One thing to know before you call: we haul a piano away. We are not a piano moving company, so if the piano is going to a new address rather than out of the house, that is a mover's job and not ours, and I would rather tell you that now than on the day. Pianos are one of the items we price separately rather than by the cubic yard, and the $120 minimum still applies. You get the number upfront, before any work begins. What sets it is weight and access, which on this job comes down to four things: how many stairs, how many turns the stairway makes, how wide the narrowest doorway on the way out is, and how far it is from the piano to where I can park the truck. Text me a photo of the piano and a second photo of the path out, the door included, and I can give you a number before anyone drives over, then we confirm it in person before we start.

We also do pool table removal and furniture removal.

How Much Will This Cost?

We give you a free, firm price in person before any work begins, and once you agree to it, it does not go up.

• $120 minimum pickup
• Priced separately rather than by the cubic yard

For a very small job close to our Salem base we can sometimes bring the minimum down to $80 to $100, so it is worth asking. The minimum can also be higher for a job well outside our normal routes. See the full pricing page.

A piano is quoted on its own rather than by the cubic yard, and if the rest of the room is leaving with it, that part is priced by volume like any other load. Here is what junk removal costs in Massachusetts, including the volume rate, the $120 minimum and what weight and access do to a number.

About Us, Our Story

The Junk Heroes is a brother-owned and operated junk removal company rooted in Salem, MA. We live right on the line between Salem and Swampscott, two minutes from Vinnin Square, and we started this business because we wanted to run a junk removal service that showed up on time, treated customers like neighbors, and charged honest prices.

We give a single couch the same care as a full estate cleanout. Families and businesses around Salem, Swampscott, Beverly, Lynn, and Marblehead have left us 350+ five-star reviews.

The Junk Heroes is an independent company that two brothers built and still run, with a crew of friends who haul alongside them, and we stand behind every job we do.

We do this by the book. We carry $2M in general liability, a $1M umbrella policy and $1M in commercial auto coverage. We are USDOT registered (USDOT 8843043), our drivers hold DOT medical cards, and we hold commercial accounts at the disposal facilities we use, so every load ends up where it is supposed to.
