Friday, September 4, 2026
Contact me to book. If your request is urgent, please mention that in your message. I can usually fit in warranty repairs, in-shop work, and mail-order jobs sooner.
This notice updates automatically as my schedule changes.
This public price list is accurate as of May 15, 2026.
Travel
My service area is roughly within one hour of Portland, ME, and I do not charge travel within this area. You can see a map of my service area here.
I am willing to travel farther, although I will sometimes charge for considerable distances and trips to islands if there aren’t enough other customers in the area.
Discounts
I offer discounts to regular customers, schools, churches, retirees, nonprofits, and homeschooling families. I also have special deals for piano teachers.
Workmanship Guarantee
I guarantee my work. When I finish working on your piano, I’ll leave a signed card on it: This card means I believe I’ve done my best work, and that I’m pleased to put my name to it. If you have any problems with the piano at all, whether in terms of tuning or mechanical issues that you feel I’ve overlooked, let me know.
Missed Appointments
Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment. With sufficient notice, no fee is charged, and I can offer the slot to another client. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled time will incur the full appointment fee.
Payment Methods
I can take payment by cash or check (written to Alex’s Piano Service LLC).
I can send digital invoices using Stripe which you can pay with debit or credit card, Cash App, bank transfers, or even Affirm and Klarna.
If you’ve previously paid with Stripe, you can see paid or outstanding invoices in the customer portal. Just create an account with the email address on your invoice.
Additionally, I accept tap-to-pay debit and credit cards, and can take payments by Venmo using @AlexsPianoService.
