Piano Movers
Ivins

What the job involves in Ivins

Most Ivins piano movers jobs are won or lost before the truck arrives, in the survey and the plan. With roughly 9,998 residents, Ivins is a smaller community in Washington County, and that shows up in the job: largely detached properties, long driveways and very little kerbside constraint.

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 an Ivins job

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

• A measure of every doorway, turn and stair on the route before the date
• The right board, skid and strapping for the instrument, not a furniture dolly
• Legs and pedals removed and wrapped separately where the instrument allows
• Three or four crew on the lift, depending on the instrument and the stairs
• Placement and levelling at the destination, plus a recommendation to tune after settling

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 Ivins

Most of our Ivins work sits around Kayenta, Anasazi Hills, Padre Canyon and Tuacahn area, 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 Santa Clara, St. George and Gunlock in the same week, so a piano movers job here rarely needs a separate trip charge — and if your move crosses between them, it is one crew rather than a handover.

Ivins runs on tourism and resorts, arts and retirement services, 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 — Washington County included.

The company started here in 2012 and expanded north later, which means a Ivins to Salt Lake corridor move is a route we run regularly rather than an out-of-area job.

What licensed and insured means for a piano movers job in Ivins

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 Ivins

Heat decides the working hours here for a good part of the year. Summer loads start early for a reason, and a crew still carrying at two in the afternoon in July is a crew making mistakes.

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

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.
