Lewis Piano Movers Reviews — Delaware
G 4.9★ from 28 verified Google & Yelp reviews by Delaware customers.
Skip the marketing copy and listen to the Delaware customers themselves. The notes below were left on Google and Yelp by people who trusted us with a piano, a household, or both: Greenville and Centreville families whose concert grands came off the Kennett Pike estates, Wilmington owners who watched an upright thread down a Trolley Square stair, a Dover congregation that needed its organ across town, professors closing out a Newark rental near the University of Delaware, and shore couples settling into a cottage at Lewes or Rehoboth. Word of mouth like that, plus the customers who phone Spencer a second time, is what keeps the calendar booked.
We read each review that lands. A crew that walks a baby grand out of a chateau-country home and leaves it level and unmarked hears about it from us. So does a crew on the rare day we fall short, and then we go fix it. That accountability is exactly what you are paying for with a Delaware-licensed piano specialist, instead of a faceless lead-app that pockets your request and vanishes.
“Our Greenville house has one of those long chateau staircases, and we needed a baby grand brought down it along with a two-bedroom's worth of furniture. The instrument work was flawless: Desmond strapped it to the board, padded everything, and brought it down step by step without so much as brushing the banister. My one knock is that the arrival slot ran wide, and they landed near the back end of it, which ate up much of my morning. After that the house emptied out fast, and the price Brenda had named over the phone was exactly what I owed.”
“We needed the family upright taken from our Centreville home over to our daughter's place, and two regular moving outfits had already turned us down before I called Lewis. What a relief they were. A pair of Spencer's guys showed up with the right skid and straps, allowed for the legs on a tight turn at the landing, and loaded it with zero fuss. They positioned it on the truck so the soundboard would ride steady the whole way. It is obvious this is their actual trade, not a sideline.”
“The narrow, turning staircase in our Highlands three-bed tends to give movers trouble, but this crew worked it like they already knew the house. Pads went on the jambs, both beds were taken down and reassembled at the destination, and every wall came through unmarked. The flat figure Spencer named after his walk-through was the figure on my final bill, nothing more. Smoothest move we have had anywhere in Wilmington, hands down.”
“I rang several movers about my little Trolley Square studio, and Lewis was the only one that did not act like a single-room job was beneath them. Two movers had it all boxed, down the stairs, and unloaded across town in under three hours, taking care with my turntable and a stack of framed prints. The number they gave me held, with nothing extra slipped in at the finish. On a thin budget in this part of Wilmington, that honesty counted for a lot.”
“Four bedrooms in North Wilmington, a basement stuffed with years of accumulation, and a handful of heirlooms that had me on edge. Spencer toured the whole place before quoting anything, and on moving day the crew simply ran the show. They padded the doorways, eased a heavy china cabinet out without a nick, and put every carton in its proper room before leaving. Of the several movers we have used up here, these are the best by a wide margin.”
“Not one snag the whole day moving my Hockessin one-bed. The two movers were pleasant, treated my furniture gently, and finished sooner than the time I had set aside for it. With the cost written down ahead of time, nobody was angling for extra cash when the truck was loaded and nothing crept onto the total. Choosing a Delaware company over the big national outfits turned out to be exactly right.”
“Our Newark congregation was moving a pipe organ to the new sanctuary, and honestly I doubted it could survive the trip intact. Spencer's people studied the instrument before touching it, then dismantled it in an orderly way, tagging each component so none of it wandered off. The console was padded, crated, and steered through the doorways, then rebuilt on the far side of town. The whole congregation marveled at the patience and care they brought to it.”
“Getting my dad out of his Bear house of thirty-odd years and into a smaller place weighed on the whole family, and part of me braced for a crew that would jam the truck and take off. It went the opposite way. They worked at his pace, never pushed him, went over what was worth bringing, and had the new rooms arranged before heading off. That old upright he would not let go of was treated gently by those same hands. They took a lot of the strain off a rough week for us.”
“We bought a concert grand that had to come into our Middletown home, up a short run of exterior steps and through a doorway I would have sworn was too tight. Desmond took measurements, removed the legs and the pedal lyre, settled the case onto the skid, and guided it inside as if he had run the route a dozen times. Neither the piano nor the house picked up a mark, and he coached me on keeping it clear of the vents so summer humidity would not warp it. That instrument belongs to Lewis from here on.”
“Our move ran from Pike Creek up to Philadelphia, and what stood out to me was keeping one team throughout, the people who loaded us near I-95 were the ones unloading at the new apartment, with no stranger behind the wheel. The binding total came in right where it should. I will dock a star, partly my own fault: on delivery day I ended up calling to ask when they would arrive, having assumed they would phone me first. Setting that aside, the crew was reliable, nothing got broken, and the cost was fair for the miles.”
“Smooth all around moving our Brandywine Hundred two-bed condo. They showed up on schedule, left no mess, and were just as gentle setting things down as picking them up. Our TV and a glass-top table got bundled up especially well, and the closing bill matched what Brenda had quoted me by phone to the dollar. Zero gripes from me, and they would be my first call next time.”
“A three-bed that did not leave Dover, wrapped up in one day from first box to last. They arrived as promised, ran an orderly job, and were careful at both addresses. What I liked best was having the price locked in advance, so there was no haggling after the truck emptied and nobody leaning on me to tack things on. Anyone in Kent County hunting for movers, I send them straight to Lewis.”
“We closed on our Smyrna house before the next one was ready and had to park our upright somewhere safe in the meantime. Lewis tucked it into a dry unit raised off the floor, with the monthly storage fee listed on the same estimate as the move, so no extra invoice ambushed us later. They mentioned watching the humidity, which eased my worry about the summer months. When it came home two months on, it was exactly as it had left. True pros.”
“We were setting up a beach place in Milford and had a spinet to bring along with a houseful of furniture. The crew came down SR-1 without complaint, eased the spinet up the exterior steps, and wrapped it against the salt air for the trip. Everything else went on the truck just as carefully, and the flat figure Spencer quoted held to the dollar. It is rare to find movers who treat a smaller piano with that much respect.”
“Our Lewes place needed a baby grand and a whole two-bedroom of furniture cleared out, and that piano was costing me sleep. The movers settled it onto the skid, padded each side, and worked it down the porch stairs without marking the case or the banister. After the piano, nothing else felt hard. What the written estimate said is what I paid, and they answered my questions patiently the entire day. These folks plainly know an instrument when they see one.”
“Needed our upright moved between two homes here in Rehoboth Beach, and the sandy walk and the porch steps had me worried. Two of the crew handled it without breaking a sweat, laying down boards over the soft ground and easing the piano up the steps slow and steady. They wrapped it well against the beach humidity and checked it was level before they left. Honest price, careful hands, and they clearly do this all the time.”
“A three-bedroom move within Seaford, down in Sussex County, and the crew made a long haul of a day look effortless. Doorways got padded, the beds and a big armoire were dismantled and reassembled once we reached the new house, and they stayed easygoing and careful with our belongings throughout. The flat number Spencer set was exactly what I handed over, with no upward creep. Nice to come across a company that genuinely covers the southern end of Delaware.”
“Only a studio in Georgetown, hardly a big job, yet the two movers gave it real attention all the same. They were friendly, kept watch around my bookshelf and a small TV, and were done quicker than expected. The cost never drifted off the quote, and the drive down into Sussex did not faze them in the slightest. What I valued most was how smooth and drama-free the entire day turned out.”
“Solid job on our four-bed in Glasgow. The movers were careful and the cost matched Brenda's quote, no games when it was time to settle up. My only complaint is a ding on the corner of a wall where a tall dresser brushed the doorway heading out. In fairness, they flagged it themselves instead of leaving me to discover it, and the office offered to send someone over to patch it. Straight-dealing crew, one minor blemish on an otherwise spotless day.”
“My Bellefonte one-bed got moved with no trouble at all. The two who came were laid-back, gentle with my things, and finished ahead of schedule. With the cost written up front, there was no last-minute hunt for cash and nothing tacked on at the close. I am glad I picked a local Delaware company over one of the big chains that never return your call.”
“Our downtown Wilmington church was relocating and the electronic organ with all its cabinetry was my biggest worry. Lewis sent a crew that knew what they were doing, padding the console, securing the pedalboard, and carrying it out through tight old doorways without a scrape. They reassembled it at the new hall and made sure it powered up before they left. I cannot say enough about how patient and respectful they were with it.”
“Moving my mother from her longtime house near the University of Delaware campus in Newark to a retirement community stirred up a lot of feelings for everyone. The movers sized up the situation immediately, gave her space, and never let her feel hurried. They handled her old mantel clock and framed photos with care, and had the new place arranged before they left. The hard day I had been dreading went about as smoothly as anyone could have wished.”
“Our concert grand needed to come from a recital hall to our home in Camden, and I interviewed three companies before trusting anyone with it. Lewis was the only one whose crew talked through the skid, the lyre, and how they would keep it climate-stable on the drive. Desmond ran the job himself, eased it through a difficult set of doors, and the piano did not pick up a single mark. The price was set in writing first and never moved. Worth every penny.”
“We hauled our household from Bethany Beach clear up to Philadelphia, and the clincher for me was one crew across the whole trip. Whoever loaded us at the shore was whoever set it down up north. They locked in a binding number and the closing invoice landed on it to the cent. The rig rolled in comfortably inside its window, and nothing vanished or broke along the way. Just plain, honest, hard-grafting people.”
“Not a single hiccup moving our two-bed condo down in Wyoming. They arrived on time, kept the job neat throughout, and showed the same care unloading as they had loading. The TV and a glass-topped dining table each got an extra layer of wrap, and the final total sat right on Brenda's quote, to the penny. I have nothing to complain about, and I would call them back without hesitating.”
“A three-bed move that kept us right here in Magnolia, finished in one day. They arrived as promised, worked methodically, and were gentle at both houses. The thing I liked most was having the figure settled in advance, so once the last box was off there was nothing to dispute and no one pushing add-ons. Anyone around Kent County who needs help gets sent to Lewis by me.”
“Caught between homes in Claymont, we needed our baby grand held safely for a couple of months. Lewis put it in a clean, locked unit, raised off the ground and covered, with the monthly storage fee printed beside the moving cost on one estimate. They said they would keep tabs on the humidity over the summer, which was my exact worry. It returned in perfect condition. I honestly do not know what more I could want.”
“We left Elsmere for a beach place at the shore, spinet included, and the piano handling was the standout. They bundled it well against the salt air and carried it up the steps with no trouble. The reason it sits at four stars is the day stretching long: heavy backups on I-95 on the way down meant they began later than promised and we lost a piece of the afternoon. I cannot really fault them for the traffic, though it did stretch things out. All the same, a careful team at a fair price, and they would have my business next time.”
