Santana Piano Movers and Storage

Fast, honest, efficient. They kept me updated all the way.

We’ve used Santana Piano Movers for over 20 years. Clearly the best. Never a hassle in the 20 years they have moved for us. From simple moves to extreemly difficult grand deliveries… this team gets it right. We also found they are very, very competitive, so in the long run, they really are the best deal in So Cal.

STOP YOUR SEARCHING! You’ve found the right place! Santana Piano Movers are 10 star worthy. Customer service and piano care are unmatched. Sara in the front office was excellent in meeting my moving needs and worked around the timing of my move: move out, short storage, and move in. Super friendly and truly professional. Pepe and the moving crew are unbelievable. They’re coordination, communication, ultra care of my piano, and efficiency is that of a well organized team. Thank you again Santana Piano Movers. I will highly recommend you to my fellow pianists as well as the churches I serve in the valley.

I used Santana to move my piano and thought the service was great! Since I value my piano as a cherished personal belonging, it was important to find a mover that I felt was honest, careful, and thorough. They were fair in explaining the process in how they move, and had insurance to boot, just in case something did happen. I felt in the phone conversations that they were good honest people and went with what my gut said, not my wallet. I gave the delivery guys a few cokes and a reasonable tip. They were happy. I was happy. Everyone won!

We needed a piano moved in a hurry. Called Santana and Abby gave me a quote over the phone. The price was very reasonable. The guys came on time, truck was clean and tidy. Everyone was polite and professional. They treated our piano like it was their baby. Amazing service. 5 stars for customer service, piano moving and attention to detail. Santana piano movers made my day!

Moved my precious upright from storage to my 2^nd floor unit. The guys were very professional — on time, careful, and most importantly no damages. I highly recommend this company.

Best piano moving company ever! I called yesterday afternoon and by 9am this morning my piano was moved and in our new home. They are on time, prepared and move quickly! Great customer service from the first phone call to delivery of my piano. I highly recommend them!

Great job. We moved the piano from San Gabriel to camarillo. They were On time, very professional and quick. Highly recommend them

Like all of the others said, this is the right place if you want your piano well taken care of. These guys take great pride in the work that they do and it shows in the quality of their work. My wife’s white baby grand arrived in better condition than when it left the old house (they found and removed for me a few hitchhiking pencils from behind the keys).

Thank you so much to Gerardo, Tivo, and Pancho for delivering my baby… My Beautiful Yamaha baby grand that is. They were quick, efficient and in and out of my house within about 15 minutes. They set up the piano and positioned it perfectly. The piano was wrapped securely and they protected the floors as well while they were assembling it. They were kind, professional and even dressed nicely. The entire delivery was smooth and effortless. They were all so nice to meet. If or when I move, they are the only ones I will consider to move the piano. It is the most expensive item in my home and I trust them completely. I was so impressed! Thank you guys for delivering my dream!

Called many movers to see about moving a piano. Most of the places wouldn’t move just one item. Santana movers were great. Moved the piano the next day. Gave a 2 hour window, called before their arrival. Moved the piano with great care and very fast. Decent price. Glad we went with them.

Santana Piano Movers were efficient and careful with my baby grand Petrof piano. They know what they’re doing, and they were careful to not cause any physical damage to the piano frame that I’ve noticed. Their move and storage fees were also very reasonable.
The primary reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is largely because of a particular comment that was made by one of their movers when my piano was returned to my residence. I was looking over the piano to make sure there wasn’t any new damage, and I just pointed to a couple of very small dings I noticed. I’m a reasonable person, and I even said, «It’s ok. I’m not sure that these weren’t here already anyway.» The mover (who seemed to be the supervisor of the group) said, «Yeah our boss said he doesn’t usually like to work with pianos like this…» I didn’t appreciate the implication that my piano is not in good condition (it is) or that I’m some conman trying to blame preexisting scratches on them.
I’m also curious why they don’t use small ramps to traverse a small amount of widely spaced steps like the three that were in front of my house. Instead, they use three men to physically lift the piano up or down each step, which inherently causes a few rough bumps for the piano. Using a ramp to cover the steps would have spared my piano these knocks and would have kept it more in tune after the move (as well as prevent possible damage to the soundboard). I know this, and I’m not a professional piano mover, so it’s odd to me that they don’t use this strategy.
Regardless, I thought the company did a good job of showing up on time, safely securing and moving the piano, and storing it for an appropriate fee. I would probably use them again in the future.

I could not have asked for a better Piano Moving experience! This company and these three guys are tops! Not only did they show up on time, but they made the entire moving of my precious and expensive antique CHICKERING BABY GRAND PIANO a breeze!
Plus they all were very courteous, friendly and helpful. They wrapped up my piano like a baby and even laid out thick blankets all the way through the house to protect my expensive new wood and tile flooring! These guys really ROCK and this company should be very happy with their movers!!! Thanks from Regina in Malibu, CA

Movers were very professional, right on time, and took good care of the piano and the house.

Highly recommend these guys. Very professional and on time. Not only they protect your piano, they also protect your home. They used floor protector when they wheeled the piano. Protecting your investment in good hands is priceless.

Papa’s piano has moved to a new home sweet home! This is all thanks to the amazing care and competence of Pepe, Tito and Chico, who were able to move this 1902 Steinway and Sons baby grand down an impossible driveway that makes some of the rides at Six Flags look like child’s play! The care and concern with which they treated our special piano was unmatched by anyone else who has moved us!
Because they were unable to use a truck, they actually rolled the meticulously wrapped and padded piano down this block long driveway with its hairpin curves, fighting gravity with sheer strength!
I MOST highly recommend this company! Rita in the office is an absolute delight, they call when they say they are going to call, they stick to their quotes (we were charged only $ 75 extra for having to deal with the hill, amazing!) and they are just really NICE people! I wish they moved more than piano, because they made the whole stressful move REALLY easy! Thanks to everyone at Santana, especially for showing me the collection of items (see photo) that have fallen in through the years, and were causing the keys not to work! Doh!

Santana Piano Movers is a company I can wholeheartedly endorse as the very best in the business. This is the only team I trust to handle our piano because they understand moving pianos is much more than moving furniture. They’re moving a family’s treasure and treat it as such. It is really something to watch these skilled craftsmen at work knowing precisely what to do because this is their specialty. I wouldn’t use anyone else. They’re professional, priced fairly and backed by an equally courteous and service-​minded office scheduling and administration crew.
I’m glad Santana is here and will use them again in the future.

Perfectly executed. My brother gave me his baby grand piano on christmas day. He is tearing down his house to build another one and needed to move the piano quickly. After reading the Unilocal reviews I decided on Santana and they delivered! (no pun intended)
Santana was able to get a truck there in 2 days. Their pre appointment process is systematic and kept me in the loop the entire time. The three movers arrived on time and very quickly dismantled the piano like experts. In no time they had the piano at my house and set up. It was easy and painless. They were pleasant to work with.
They were not the cheapest. Not even close. But this is a very expensive piece of equipment that needs special handling and I did not want to risk having some bozo «figure it out». I wanted experts who do this day in and day out. That’s Santana!

Wonderful experience!
We missed our pickup time in the morning, and they were very accommodating and switched us to an afternoon pickup. Tivo was our mover and was very helpful, trying to find the best way in that would cost us the least amount of money. Great work!

OK. This review is LONG overdue!
Santana Piano Movers helped us move our piano out of our place in LA back at the end of September & they were AMAZING.
Their online quote form is very easy to use. Jose in the office is so friendly & responsive by both email & phone.
We were given a 5-​hour window for the date we scheduled — 10am-​3pm. We had originally hoped to have the piano be one of the first things into the truck so that it could be one of the last things out on the other end but by 10:30am with our friends there ready to help us load everything else we owned & no piano movers in sight, we realized we’d have to revise our plans if we didn’t want to waste time & manpower.
By around 11:45am, we were making good progress loading the truck but I was starting to get a little anxious wondering about exactly when the piano movers would arrive so I finally called to see if there was an ETA. Thankfully, Jose was able to give me an update but I’ll be honest — I was disappointed to find out they’d be arriving toward the end of the original time window. I guess I should have called first thing that morning for an updated ETA and saved myself the stress! Live & learn.
Anyway, ALL WAS FORGIVEN once Tivo arrived with his team! Tivo put me at ease immediately & in a blink, the three of them got the piano out of the house (very tight angle out the front door & immediately onto the 4 front steps!), down the remaining 15 stairs to the street and into the truck. I don’t know how, but they made it look so easy!
Once in the truck, Tivo made sure to put the piano up on blocks so the legs wouldn’t break during the trip & he also made sure there was enough padding around the piano before strapping it in tightly for the long haul up to Seattle. I think the whole thing took them probably 15 minutes or less from the time they showed up at our door to the time they drove away. By contrast — it took 6 guys at least 45 minutes to move the piano into that house when we moved in and I remember them arguing with me that the angle into the house was impossible. The ‘impossible angle’ didn’t even faze Tivo & his guys. They were literally out the door with the piano before I even had a chance to warn them about it!
Our piano has been moved several times at this point. Most of the time, I worry the movers are going to hurt themselves in the process. And, sadly, the piano has sustained some damage in the past due to movers who weren’t careful or simply didn’t have the skills.
Happily, with Santana Piano Movers, you will never have those problems. You can actually watch them move your piano without worrying or cringing — and believe me, it’s a truly beautiful thing to watch these professionals do their job!
I think if pianos could purr, ours would have been purring the whole time.
(P.S. Thank you to Tivo for the tip about Big Al’s up here! We haven’t used them yet but will definitely keep them in mind for any future moves.)
