Where can I purchase a piano?
Used pianos are often posted on Craigslist, Nextdoor or Ebay local classified, but it is recommended to try the piano in person with an experienced teacher or hire a piano technician to evaluate the piano. It is of great benefit to piano study to practice on a good acoustic piano that is well maintained.
New and used pianos are offered for sale locally at:

Where do I find a piano mover?
Many moving companies will move a piano as part of a household move, but their experience varies. Others move only pianos. The wheels on a typical household piano are not designed to be rolled down the sidewalk and into a pickup truck, so hiring movers is always advisable.
Are all piano tuners the same?
Piano tuning and repair is not a licensed occupation, so there is a wide difference in the training of individuals who offer their services. Those with the highest training and qualifications are usually certified through the Piano Technicians Guild, found at ptg.org. Be wary of anyone who simply took a course online, as qualified technicians normally apprentice for a number of years. I am happy to provide referrals.
