The practical answer depends on the inventory, both addresses and the agreed piano moving scope. Include barns, sheds, workshops and detached storage only when they form part of the work. For piano moving, the piano type and measurements are needed before crew and equipment can be considered. At a Manotick origin or destination, outdoor, workshop and garden items should be cleaned, drained where appropriate and dry before loading; conditions should be checked again close to the date. Customers should also measure tight stairs, doorways, hallways and elevator openings at the Manotick properties before assigning handling methods. A useful preparation priority is to confirm whether the instrument is upright, baby grand, grand or another type. Document private-lane width, overhead clearance, turning space and winter maintenance responsibility. Those details allow ProMove Ottawa to review required team size and handling equipment without treating every property in Manotick as though it presents the same route or handling conditions.
