Piano/glass transport without scratches

Looking for advice from folks who actually hauled delicate stuff without drama. I’ve got an upright with sentimental value and a tall glass display case, plus a couple of tight turns in the hallway. Last time a random crew scuffed a dresser leg and I’m still annoyed. I need people who show up with the right gear—pads, straps, a piano board or dolly—and protect floors and doorframes. If your team kept everything scratch-free, who did you book?

Print simple door signs for each room, stage a small caddy with a box cutter, painter’s tape, zip bags for hardware, wipes, and a marker, and snap quick photos of cable setups before unplugging. Early morning arrivals beat heat and lobby traffic, and a clearly labeled “open-first” bin means you can settle in before tackling the rest.
