Before you book Allston Piano Moving Co Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC165381
Allston Piano Moving Co Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC165381. If the written estimate names a van line or another carrier, that company is the one legally responsible for your goods, so check its number too.
- 2
Ask for Belmont references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Allston Piano Moving Co Inc's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Belmont you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Allston Piano Moving Co Inc driver holds a CDL, so its trucks are rated 26,000 lb or less. For a three- or four-bedroom home, ask how many trucks or trips the estimate assumes; on an hourly job a second trip is paid time.
- 4
Judge the estimate against $525 – $859
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Belmont at $525 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $981 – $1,308. A surveyed, written estimate from Allston Piano Moving Co Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
