Nationwide Piano Restoration
Expert restoration, coordinated from your living room and back again.
Most restoration shops only serve customers within driving distance. GrandGuard doesn't.
We coordinate professional piano pickup, restoration, and delivery throughout the continental United States — so a heirloom piano in one state can be restored and returned without you ever arranging a separate mover, or handing your instrument to a stranger at either end.
One team. One point of contact. From pickup through final delivery.
Restoration Backed by Steinway-Level Standards
GrandGuard works alongside Steinway Piano Gallery and its authorized service network. Whether your piano is a family heirloom, a performance instrument, or a fine grand that has simply aged, our coordinated craftsmen approach every restoration with the care, precision, and respect the instrument deserves — regardless of make or age.
We restore Steinway & Sons, Mason & Hamlin, Kawai, Yamaha, and pianos of all major manufacturers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you restore a piano shipped from another state?
Yes. GrandGuard coordinates pickup, restoration, and delivery anywhere in the continental United States. Your piano is picked up by piano specialists, restored, and delivered back to you or to a new address — all managed through one point of contact.
How much does piano restoration cost?
Restoration cost depends on the piano and the scope of work, from a finish touch-up to a complete rebuild. Every restoration starts with an evaluation and an honest quote. Send photos and details and we'll provide a realistic range.
How do you ship a grand piano safely for restoration?
Pianos are handled only by piano-moving specialists, never a general moving company, and every instrument is insured up to $1,000,000 from pickup through delivery.
Is my old piano worth restoring?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no — and we'll tell you honestly. The make and quality of the instrument, its condition, and its sentimental value all factor in. Some pianos are worth a full rebuild; for others we'll be upfront if restoration doesn't make sense.
What types of pianos do you restore?
Uprights, baby grands, grands, and concert grands of all major makes — including Steinway & Sons, Mason & Hamlin, Yamaha, and Kawai — from newer instruments to antiques.
