Family Owned Labor-Only Movers
Kanab, Utah

What the job involves in Kanab

We treat every Kanab labor-only movers job as a logistics problem first and a lifting problem second. With roughly 5,081 residents, Kanab is a smaller community in Kane County, and that shows up in the job: largely detached properties, long driveways and very little kerbside constraint.

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

What a Kanab job looks like

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

• 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 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 Kanab

Most of our Kanab work sits around Downtown Kanab and Kanab Creek, 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 Orderville, Glendale and Big Water 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.

Kanab runs on tourism, film production and animal welfare, 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 — Kane County included.

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

Who actually turns up to a labor-only movers job in Kanab

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 Kanab job

The summer heat is the scheduling constraint at this end of the state, which is why an early start is worth more than a cheap hourly rate.

The last week of any month is the busiest, everywhere. Mid-month midweek is cheaper and calmer if you have the choice.

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

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.
