Family Owned Moving Company in Midvale, UT

What the job involves in Midvale

Most Midvale moving company jobs are won or lost before the truck arrives, in the survey and the plan. 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.

A written estimate comes before anything is loaded, and the crew size is set against the survey rather than guessed.

The order we work in Midvale

The sequence matters more than the speed. Done in the right order, a move is dull — which is the goal.

• 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 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 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.

Midvale runs on technology, retail and healthcare, and that shapes who is moving and when: demand arrives in waves, which is why booking early is worth more here than a discount.

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.

Who actually turns up to a moving company job in Midvale

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.

What to do next in Midvale

Snow does not usually stop a move here, but it does change the timings. We build that into the estimate rather than discovering it on the morning.

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

The next step is a survey — in person or by video — and a written estimate. Call (435) 862-3080 to arrange one.
