Furniture movers in Albany, NY

Not every job is a whole house. Sometimes it's one sleeper sofa, one gun safe, or a marketplace find that was never going to fit in the car.

The short answer

I Like To Move It Movers moves single pieces and small loads in Albany, NY: a sofa up a walk-up, a marketplace pickup, a dresser between floors, a gun safe or an upright piano. The crew brings pads, straps and a dolly, takes apart what needs it and puts it back together where you want it.

In Albany

What this job is like here

Capital Region furniture jobs are heavy on second-hand pickups and third-floor deliveries. If your piece is going up a Troy or Albany walk-up staircase, the measurement that decides the job is the turn at the landing.

Worth knowing: Send a photo of the staircase turn along with the item. It changes the crew size.

What's included

  • Single-item and few-item moves within the metro
  • Store, warehouse and marketplace pickups delivered to your door
  • Heavy and awkward specialty pieces: safes, treadmills, armoires, sectionals
  • In-home relocation, like the piano to the other room or the dresser upstairs
  • Disassembly and reassembly where the piece needs it to fit

Do you move pianos in Albany?

Upright pianos and spinets, yes. They are heavy, top-heavy and easy to damage on a turn, so we bring a piano board and straps, protect the floors and plan the route before anything is lifted. Grand pianos, and any piano going down an outside staircase, should go to a dedicated piano mover, because the rigging is a different trade and we would rather tell you that than guess.

Tell us about the stairs, the turns and the floor the piano is going to when you book, and send a photo of the route.

What makes a single-item move tricky?

Almost never the weight. It is the turn at the top of the stairs, the door that opens the wrong way and the railing that does not come off. That is why we ask for a photo of the route, not just the item.
