A recent customer said they made quick, careful work of getting a piano out through a muddier than expected dooryard with tracks, then took care getting it in and reset. A recent buyer of a fragile glass curio cabinet said it arrived on time, packaged against damage, and was unpacked and set up where they wanted it, within the quoted price. A recent customer said they packed antiques for shipment, moved a cast iron cook stove and a piano, and disposed of old appliances. A recent reviewer said the job came down to getting a big couch through a window. In a 2025 review, a customer said they moved a piano down a tight, winding staircase, along with a 700lb cast iron stove. A 2025 customer said Scott and his team got a baby grand into a house with just-finished pine floors without a single dent or scratch. A 2023 customer said they asked for a quote for a move about an hour away and got no response. **Strengths:** - A careful piano move — a recent customer described tracks through a muddy dooryard - Antique packing — a recent customer said they packed antiques for shipment - Quoted price held — a recent customer said the job stayed within the quote **Concerns:** - Quote follow-up — a 2023 customer said a quote request got no response ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - 4.9 stars from 76 Google ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Strout%20Brothers%20Moving%20%7C%20Bucksport%20Piano%20Movers&query_place_id=ChIJs2nwxhNdrkwRM3h11rLJrjE) — “Google: 4.9★ from 76 ratings” - Describes itself as a locally owned family business based in Bucksport, run by brothers James and Scott _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](http://www.stroutbrothersmoving.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): Strout Brothers Moving is a locally owned family business based out of Bucksport, ME.
