Furniture Movers

What the job involves in Highland

We treat every Highland furniture movers job as a logistics problem first and a lifting problem second. With roughly 20,119 residents, Highland is a mid-sized community in Utah 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 Highland job

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

• Measured routes for anything that will be tight on a turn or a stair
• Disassembly where a piece will not go through whole
• Blanket wrap and stretch film on every face that will touch anything
• Placement in the room, not the hallway
• Reassembly, including the fixings we removed

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 Highland

Most of our Highland work sits around Highland Heights and Country French, 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 Alpine, American Fork and Cedar Hills in the same week, so a furniture movers job here rarely needs a separate trip charge — and if your move crosses between them, it is one crew rather than a handover.

Highland runs on professional services, technology and construction, 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 — Utah County included.

A move out of Highland heading south is a route we run constantly. It is too far to be a local job and too short to be a proper interstate one, which is exactly the gap most companies price badly.

What licensed and insured means for a furniture movers job in Highland

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 Highland

From November to March the loading end is the problem, not the driving. We plan winter jobs around daylight and grit the access before the crew arrives rather than after someone slips.

Month-end and the summer weeks fill first. If your date is flexible by a fortnight, say so — it is often worth money.

Five things make the difference between a quote and a guess:

• 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.
