Piano Removal in Salem & the North Shore

Upright or grand, we haul both out

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.

Let The Heroes Save Your Day

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, the same way the pricing page lists them, 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.

About Us, Our Story

The Junk Heroes is a brother-owned and operated junk removal company proudly 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 saw a need for a junk removal service that actually showed up on time, treated customers like neighbors, and charged honest prices.

From our very first haul, we've been driven by one simple belief: every job deserves white glove care, whether it's a single couch or a full estate cleanout. That commitment has earned us 300+ five-star reviews from families and businesses throughout Salem, Swampscott, Beverly, Lynn, Marblehead, and beyond.

When you call The Junk Heroes, you're not calling a franchise, you're calling a company two brothers built from the ground up and still run, with a crew of friends who haul alongside them, and we personally 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. Call or text in English or Portuguese.
