Family Owned Moving Company in Holladay, UT

What the job involves in Holladay

We treat every Holladay moving company job as a logistics problem first and a lifting problem second. With roughly 31,099 residents, Holladay is a mid-sized community in Salt Lake County, and that shows up in the job: mostly detached houses with driveway access, and a mix of newer estates and older streets.

Every quote is written down before the job is booked, so nobody is negotiating on a driveway with a loaded truck.

What a Holladay job looks like

Every job follows the same order, because that is what keeps the estimate honest and the day calm.

• A survey that sets the crew size and the truck, in writing
• Protection installed before the first item moves
• Wrapping and padding done in the property, not in the truck
• A load built to carry, with weight low and square
• Placement and reassembly at the destination

The reason we survey first is that the three things that actually drive the price — volume, access and stairs — are the three things you cannot judge over the phone.

We would rather tell you a date is unrealistic than take the booking and disappoint you. That happens more often than you would think, particularly at month-end.

Moving around Holladay

Most of our Holladay work sits around Holladay Village, Cottonwood and Olympus Cove, 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 Millcreek, Cottonwood Heights and Murray in the same week, so a moving company job here rarely needs a separate trip charge — and if your move crosses between them, it is one crew rather than a handover.

Holladay runs on healthcare, professional services and retail, and that shapes who is moving and when: term dates, transfer seasons and the end of a build all bunch the calendar.

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

A move out of Holladay 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.

Who actually turns up to a moving company job in Holladay

This is Justin and Miranda Ruuth's business, started in 2012 and still run by them. The crews are employed and background-checked, not day labour hired for the date.

That matters for the question nobody asks out loud, which is who is going to be walking through my house. You get the same company on the phone, on the estimate and on the day.

If something goes wrong, the person you complain to is the person who owns the company. That is worth more than a guarantee written on a website.

Booking a Holladay job

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.

The call takes about ten minutes if you have these ready:

• 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

Ring (435) 862-3080 and describe the job. You will get a written estimate, and an honest answer if the date you want is not realistic.
