Awesome service done quickly! Showed up on time, loaded the piano up without any issue. Came to the drop off location and unloaded with the same ease and professionalism! Amazing company and would highly recommend! Quick, inexpensive, quality, professional!

Report
The piano was moved without any damage to the piano and on time. However, upon arriving to the property, they insisted that they were going to back their moving truck through the rainsoaked front yard (days of rain) so that they didn't have to lift the piano up 3 stairs. The person letting them in said, "They wouldn't take 'no' for an answer". It is a Kawai CS11 which is not incredibly heavy if you have the right equipment and 2 people. This was during a move to a new house that has septic, so I'm hoping that none of the septic lines run in the front yard, otherwise this move might have costed me a Steinway amount of money.

Rick and his assistants made a hard job look easy, where they had to take my piano downstairs on a "V" shaped stairwell. Rick was right on target and delivered my piano to the new place with no problems. Excellent work!

Called on Saturday night needing a short notice move and they were able to move the piano Sunday morning (local in town delivery). Charles and his helper were awesome. The piano arrived safe and sound. Friendly, professional and on time!

I hired Fretter's Piano Service to move a piano I purchased in Atlanta to bring to my home in Nashville. Rick Fretter (owner) communicated with both parties very well and showed up on time. The piano arrived in perfect shape. My wife and I were very happy with his service. Thank you Rick!
