Organs & Pianos

While moving is never a simple task, whether you’re moving a one-bedroom apartment or a large family home, it’s always an additional challenge to find skilled professionals to handle your Chicago moving needs. At Blankenship Movers, we understand that a organ & piano moving isn’t simply another large, bulky item to be awkwardly transported. Your beloved musical instrument is one of a kind, and in some cases, can be worth more than all your other belongings combined. For that reason, you can’t afford to enlist the help of movers who may be stellar at what they do, but don’t have the experience and knowledge necessary to transport an organ or piano. You need a professional piano mover. Our team is not only highly trained and experienced in transporting these bulky and delicate musical instruments, we’re also completely licensed, insured, and bonded. Of course, we will always go the extra mile to ensure nothing goes awry with your move, but if it does, you at least have the peace of mind that comes with knowing the damage is covered, and not simply brushed aside as a casualty of the relocation process. If you need a professional piano mover for your next transition, there’s simply no time to waste. Call Blankenship Movers and schedule a consultation and estimate with our moving professionals, or simply speak with our team to help determine the extent of your needs and the manpower associated with moving your organ or piano safely from point A to point B. Open 7 days a week and available for short notice moves, we’re the name that Chicagoland has trusted for over 5 decades. Call today, and see the difference Blankenship Movers can make in your life.
Safes & Gun Safes

Not every mover can handle safes or gun safes, some of which can weigh in excess of half a ton or more. But you shouldn’t have to leave such an important investment behind simply because you need to relocate. At Blankenship Movers, we have the skills, experience, and equipment to move heavy items safely, including all sizes and types of safes.
Art & Antiques

Artwork and antiques are often literally worth their weight in gold (or more), and hiring just any mover can put these valuables at risk. Blankenship Movers is specially trained in caring for old, fragile, and one-of-a-kind items and is your best choice anywhere in the Chicago area for moving with these special items. We take exquisite care of each and every piece to ensure their absolute safety and are fully bonded and insured.
