Specialized Piano and Pool Table Moving Experts
Serving Indianapolis & Surrounding Areas
Why Specialized Moving Matters
Protecting Soundboards, Slates, and Your Home
Pianos are precision instruments with uneven weight distribution, delicate finishes, and sensitive internal components. Whether it is an upright, baby grand, or full grand, the soundboard, action, pedals, and legs require stabilization and protection. Hermits Moving and Handyman Services uses purpose-built piano boards, padding, and strapping to secure each component, safeguard finishes, and control the center of gravity during transport.
Pool tables contain heavy, brittle slate and frames that must be fully disassembled to prevent structural damage and injury. Attempting to move a table intact can crack slate, bend rails, and harm flooring. Our team properly removes rails, pockets, and cloth, crates the slate, and protects walls, stairs, and doorways to ensure a smooth, damage-free relocation.
From Pre-Planning to Final Placement
Every move starts with a detailed pre-planning call. We inventory the piano or pool table type, take measurements and photos, survey access paths, and review building rules. On move day, we install floor protection, pad doorways, and stage equipment. Hardware and components are labeled and packed methodically so reassembly is precise and efficient.
For pool tables, we remove rails and pockets, carefully detach or preserve the cloth as requested, unbolt and crate the slate, and transport the frame separately. Reassembly includes frame squaring, slate installation, seam sealing as needed, precision leveling, and optional re-clothing. For pianos, we secure lids and keyboards, remove legs and the pedal lyre when appropriate, mount the body to a piano skid board, and use specialized dollies and stair gear for safe navigation. Final placement, leveling, and protection pads are included. We recommend allowing a settling period before piano tuning.
Licensed, Insured, and Prepared for Any Layout
Hermits Moving and Handyman Services equips each crew with heavy-duty piano boards, low-profile dollies, stair climbers, hump straps, and e-track tie-downs. We use thick quilted blankets, stretch wrap, corner guards, door jamb protectors, and Masonite or runners to shield floors. For pool tables, slate is crated or protected with edge guards and cushioning, and we maintain clean, organized hardware kits for rails and pockets.
Our trained teams follow standardized procedures for disassembly, packing, transport, and reassembly. We perform site risk assessments, communicate clearly with homeowners and building managers, and handle tight turns, multi-flight staircases, basements, and lofts with the right techniques and tools. When necessary, we remove and reinstall doors or banisters to create safe clearance.
We are fully insured and provide certificates of insurance upon request. Valuation options are available, and we document condition before and after the move. Our trucks are outfitted for secure transport, and we have weather-readiness protocols for rain, snow, heat, and cold. Expect transparent pricing, a written plan, and a workmanship standard that prioritizes your instrument, table, and property.

I would recommend Hermit’s Moving Company to absolutely anyone looking for trustworthy and reliable movers.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a fantastic company. Their personnel are awesome! My husband and I had ordered two recliners from another company and thought we had paid for assembly WRONG! The company dumped two large boxes in our sunroom and left. We contacted someone to help. They did not show. So, I went to the internet and found Hermits. They returned my request by phone within minutes. I could not believe it when they said they would be at our home within the hour to assemble the chairs. They came and did a fantastic job. They worked quickly and the cost was reasonable. We now have wonderful recliners in which to relax thanks to this wonderful company. Call them for your handyman needs. I highly recommend them.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience! It only took around 4 hours + 2 people to have my vanity put up.

It was the hottest, most humid day when we moved. The guys were cheerful, efficient, and careful for hours, despite the conditions. Everything was carefully wrapped. Nothing was damaged in the process, even with stairs and very heavy furniture. Thanks a million, Kayla and team for a perfect moving day.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was an amazing experience. We purchased furniture from someone on Facebook marketplace and needed it picked up and delivered to us. They responded immediately with a quote and it was extremely reasonable for the workload. They were very professional and stayed in contact through the whole process. They wrapped all of the furniture and treated it as if it were their own during the handling process. I will recommend them to anyone with a similar project and we will definitely use them again!
