What our customers are saying
Some items are in a category of their own — too heavy, too awkward, or too valuable for a standard move. Gun safes that weigh half a ton, pool tables that need careful disassembly, hot tubs that take a crew and a plan, commercial equipment, and oversized statuary or fixtures. These are the items a lot of movers flat-out decline. Playhouse Moving has the equipment and the experience to take them on — safely, and without the drama.
Heavy and specialty items we handle
Gun safes and heavy safes, pool and billiard tables, hot tubs and spas, large gym and fitness equipment, commercial machinery, oversized artwork and statuary, and other items that exceed what a normal two-person furniture move can handle. If you've got something heavy and you're not sure anyone will move it, ask us first — it's often exactly the kind of job we're built for.
Pool tables and disassembly
Pool tables aren't moved in one piece — the slate, rails, and felt need careful disassembly and reassembly to avoid cracking the playing surface or throwing off the level. We handle the breakdown, transport, and setup, though for tournament-grade re-leveling and re-felting we'll let you know if a specialist is the better call.
Gun safes and extreme weight
A loaded gun safe can weigh 500 to 1,000+ pounds, with the weight concentrated and the balance treacherous — especially on stairs. We use heavy-duty equipment and proven technique to move safes without damaging the safe, your floors, or anyone in the room. Tell us the weight and the access and we'll plan the right crew.
Hot tubs and oversized items
Hot tubs and spas are heavy, bulky, and require a real plan — clear access, the right number of hands, and sometimes equipment to navigate gates, steps, and tight yards. We'll assess the route before the day. For pianos specifically, see our dedicated piano movers page; for everything else unusual, just describe it and we'll tell you honestly whether and how we can move it.
