Labor-Only Movers
Farmington

What the job involves in Farmington

Farmington is a straightforward place to work once you know it, and we have been working it for over a decade. With roughly 25,389 residents, Farmington is a mid-sized community in Davis County, and that shows up in the job: mostly detached houses with driveway access, and a mix of newer estates and older streets.

The estimate is written, the crew size is set from the survey, and the price does not move on the day unless the job does.

How we run a Farmington job

There is no mystery to it. The sequence is the same every time, which is what makes it predictable.

• Crew only — you supply the truck or container, we supply the people
• Loading to a plan so the container carries without shifting in transit
• Protection and padding brought with the crew
• Hourly billing with the crew size agreed in advance
• Unloading and placement at the far end if you want it

The part people underestimate is the survey. An estimate given over the phone from a room count is a guess, and a guess is what turns into an argument on the day when the truck is full and the hallway is not empty.

Nothing here is subcontracted. The crew that quotes the job is employed by the company that turns up to do it, which is not true of every quote you will be comparing.

Moving around Farmington

Most of our Farmington work sits around Station Park, Farmington Historic District and Oakridge, and each of those areas asks something slightly different of a crew — access, parking, the age of the housing, whether there is a lift involved.

We are usually in Kaysville, Centerville and Layton in the same week, so a labor-only movers job here rarely needs a separate trip charge — and if your move crosses between them, it is one crew rather than a handover.

Farmington runs on retail, government and healthcare, and that shapes who is moving and when: the busy weeks follow the local employers, not the national moving season.

Everything here is covered from our own crews rather than subcontracted to whoever is free that day — Davis County included.

Because we started in St. George in 2012 and came north afterwards, a Farmington to Southern Utah move runs on one crew rather than two companies and a transfer.

What licensed and insured means for a labor-only movers job in Farmington

There are two different things called insurance in this trade. Released-value protection is included by law and pays by weight — around 60 cents a pound, which on a television is close to nothing. Full-value protection is a separate product that pays to repair or replace.

Ask which one a quote includes. Most quotes include the first and are described as though they include the second.

We are licensed and insured, our crews are background-checked, and we will put the cover in writing on the estimate rather than leaving it as a phrase on a website.

Booking, timing and cost in Farmington

Winter is the real variable at this end of the state. Ice on a driveway, salt walked through a hallway and a four-o'clock sunset all change how a day runs, and a crew that has not planned for it will lose hours.

Book earlier than feels necessary for month-end and for anything between May and September; those dates go first.

Have these to hand when you call and the estimate will be a number rather than a range:

• A rough inventory, even a phone video walked room to room — it is the single thing that makes an estimate accurate
• Your dates, including the one that cannot move and the one that can
• Anything unusually heavy or awkward: a safe, a piano, a tub, a treadmill, a fish tank
• Access notes at both ends — stairs, lifts, gates, parking, gate codes
• What is NOT coming with you, which is often the cheapest decision in the whole move

Call (435) 862-3080. We will ask what is moving, where from and where to, and give you a written number rather than a range.
