What the job involves in Midvale

Booking furniture movers in Midvale starts with the same question every time: what actually has to move, and by when. With roughly 35,989 residents, Midvale 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 Midvale job looks like

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

• 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 Midvale

Most of our Midvale work sits around Bingham Junction, Historic Main Street and Union Park, 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 Murray, Sandy and Cottonwood Heights 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.

Midvale runs on technology, retail and healthcare, 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.

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

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

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 a Midvale job

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.

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

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

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.
