Wilmington Movers, DE | Lewis Piano Movers

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

Wilmington is the biggest city in the First State, where the Brandywine and Christina rivers meet below the downtown high-rises and I-95 cuts straight through the middle of New Castle County. The housing tells the story of an old industrial city: brick rowhomes in Trolley Square and along the side streets, three-story Victorians up in the Highlands, and rehabbed townhouses near the riverfront, most of them sharing walls and most of them built around narrow front halls and stairs that turn hard at the landing. Spencer Lewis worked the downtown delivery routes back when he was tuning and hauling for a Wilmington dealer, so the parking restrictions on Market Street, the rowhome stoops, and the upright that has to come down two flights are part of the work we know firsthand.

A Wilmington job is usually about access before it is about distance. Our piano crew reads the stair turn and the doorway swing before anyone lifts, lays runners over old hardwood, and pads furniture against the Mid-Atlantic damp on the way to the truck. When a rowhome holds an upright that came in decades ago, we skid and pad it under the same written number as the rest of the household. You get one flat written rate set before we touch a thing, and the Lewis crew that opens your Wilmington move is the crew that closes it. We run our own trucks and never hand a job to anyone else.

Wilmington Rowhomes, the Highlands, and Tight Downtown Stairs

The shared-wall rowhomes off Trolley Square and the older homes climbing into the Highlands sit on tight streets with little curb to spare, so our crew settles the truck where it will sit safe and plots the carry in advance. A Victorian upright at the top of a turning stairwell or a full downtown household near the Brandywine, we map the route, sort the I-95 timing around rush hour, and lock the figure before your date.

What Wilmington Families Tell Our Crew

Lois B.

Claymont · Google

★★★★★

“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.”

Edward T.

Elsmere · Google

★★★★

“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.”

Donna H.

Greenville · Google

★★★★

“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.”

Centreville · Google

★★★★★

“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.”

Questions Delaware Neighbors Ask Spencer

Our Wilmington rowhome has an upright at the top of two narrow flights. Can the Lewis crew get it down?

Yes, and downtown rowhome stairs are exactly the work Spencer built this crew around. We pad and skid the upright, settle the route past each landing and the hard turn before anyone lifts, then bring it down to our own truck. The piano is itemized on your written estimate beforehand, $300 to $480 for an upright, so a tight Trolley Square stairwell leaves your quoted figure where it was.

Parking is tight downtown near Market Street. How does the Lewis crew get the truck close to a Wilmington job?

We scout it ahead of your date. On the tight side streets off the Brandywine and around the high-rises there is rarely much curb, so our crew sets the truck where it sits safe and legal, plans the carry from there, and times the work around I-95 rush hour. That access call goes into the plan and the flat figure up front, never sprung on you at the door.

Will your crew protect the old hardwood in a Highlands Victorian?

We will. The older homes up in the Highlands keep their original floors, so our crew lays runners and corner guards before the first piece moves and pads anything that could mark them. The same Lewis crew handles it room to room, the same hands on the piano, so the care holds steady from the front stoop to the truck.
