New Castle County Movers | Lewis Piano Movers

Licensed, insured Delaware piano and home movers serving New Castle County and the three counties — flat-rate, on time, every job.

New Castle County is home turf for us, and most weeks our trucks barely leave it. From Wilmington we run the Brandywine, swing out I-95 to Newark and the University of Delaware, and follow US-40 and US-301 across to Bear and the fast-growing MOT stretch around Middletown. Spencer learned this north end as a Wilmington dealer tuner before he started the company in 2011, so the rowhome stairs of Trolley Square and the long estate drives along Kennett Pike are roads our piano crew already knows by heart. The county packs a lot into a small footprint: Brandywine Hundred and Hockessin one minute, downtown one-way blocks the next, and the Greenville and Centreville chateau country where the concert and baby grands live.

The work here splits between full household moves and the pianos that built our name. We carry families trading a Wilmington rowhome for a Hockessin yard, students cycling through Newark rentals, and estate owners up in Greenville moving a Steinway from one music room to another. Whichever it is, the same W-2 crew that pads your piano in the parlor drives it and sets it down at the new address. We run our own trucks, we never broker the job out, and a subcontractor never lays a hand on your grand. If a Middletown closing slides, we hold everything in our climate-controlled storage, which matters for an instrument through a humid Mid-Atlantic summer.

The North End: Wilmington Rowhomes, Newark, and the Greenville Chateau Grands

What New Castle County asks of a piano crew most is range. A Wilmington rowhome means a tight, turning stair and a baby grand that has to be skidded and tipped with care; a Greenville estate off Kennett Pike means a concert grand crossing wide chateau-country thresholds; a Brandywine Hundred colonial means a console going up a switchback. Our trucks carry the skid boards, ramps, humidity-minded padding, and crates to match, and every load rides under $1M of cargo coverage. Rates stay flat and written: two movers at $140/hr, three at $190/hr, four at $250/hr, or one set figure Spencer quotes after walking your home. By size that runs $420 to $650 for a studio, $650 to $1,050 for one bedroom, $1,050 to $1,800 for two, and $1,800 to $3,000 for three. Pianos price by type: an upright $300 to $480, a baby grand $540 to $880, a concert grand $800 to $1,400, and a church organ $380 to $700.

What New Castle County Families Tell Our Crew

Karen L.

Smyrna · Google

★★★★★

“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.”

Milford · Google

★★★★★

“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.”

Lewes · Google

★★★★★

“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.”

Questions Delaware Neighbors Ask Spencer

Can your crew move a baby grand out of a Wilmington rowhome with a tight turning stair?

That carry is everyday work for us in New Castle County. Our piano crew skids and tips the baby grand, pads the trim and the turn, and walks it down without a mark, all on Lewis trucks with our own W-2 hands. A baby grand prices at $540 to $880, the rest of the home by bedroom size, and the load carries $1M of cargo coverage. Spencer or one of our leads walks the stair first so we bring the right boards and ramps for that rowhome.

We're moving a concert grand between estates in the Greenville chateau country. Do you handle that yourselves?

Yes, the Greenville and Centreville estates along Kennett Pike are where a good share of Delaware's concert grands live, and we move them all the time. Our crew crates or skids the concert grand, levels it in the new music room, and never hands it to a subcontractor. Figure $800 to $1,400 for a concert grand, $540 to $880 for a baby grand if you have both, and $1M of cargo coverage on the move. The trucks and the people are ours start to finish.

If our Middletown closing pushes a week, will Lewis Piano Movers hold our piano and furniture?

We will. Your load sits in our own climate-controlled storage, about $110 to $270 a month by unit size, which keeps a piano steady through a humid Delaware stretch instead of a hot garage in the MOT area. Once Middletown firms up, the same crew runs it back out US-301 and sets it in place. Lewis Piano Movers is a licensed Delaware mover with USDOT and MC authority on file, founded by Spencer Lewis in 2011.
