Most moves that go sideways go sideways in the packing stage, and a piano on the inventory makes plenty of general movers uneasy. Apollo built its whole company around not being nervous about either. The crew wraps an entire residence or handles the breakables alone, and every hand on the team learns skid boards, piano boards, and stair-climbing dollies as standard training. It isn’t a specialty referral, it’s how Apollo staffs every job.

Services under this page

  • Whole-house wrap or a targeted pass limited to kitchen and closet contents
  • Heavy-duty dish crates, wardrobe boxes, mirror and screen cartons
  • Piano boards, skid boards, and stair-climbing dollies sized for uprights, baby grands, and grands
  • Layered cushioning material for glassware and china
  • Every carton marked with its destination for a faster unload
  • Post-move unpacking and carton pickup available

What a piano actually costs

Console or upright sits at $195–$375, a baby grand runs $450–$750, and a full-size grand lands at $650–$1,100. A stairwell, a tight corner, or a lengthy haul from the truck, all common in York’s row-block downtown, get factored in during the walkthrough or a video call, not invented on-site.

The evening before your move

  1. Crew brings the materials Cartons and wrap scaled to the job show up with the team, nothing for you to source.
  2. Sequential rooms Each area gets fully sealed before the crew moves onward.
  3. Breakables and the piano get individual attention China, artwork, screens, and any instrument are secured apart from the general load.
  4. Set for morning Cartons are marked and organized so the actual load happens quickly.

Packing & Specialty Item Services in York, PA — FAQs

Is there a surcharge for carrying a piano down York's row-block stairs?
Stair difficulty gets folded into your figure at the walkthrough or a video call, so it's fixed beforehand rather than negotiated curbside.
Can I hire Apollo to only handle the kitchen items and breakables?
Yes. Clients often book Apollo for kitchenware, artwork, and screens alone, then pack the remaining rooms themselves to cut cost.
Does only one specialist handle the piano, or the whole crew?
Piano-board and stair-dolly training applies to every Apollo mover, so whichever hands arrive can manage the instrument correctly.
Does Apollo supply the cartons and wrapping materials?
The team arrives with all the cartons, cushioning, and sealing tape already scaled for your household, leaving nothing extra for you to purchase.
