Family Owned Moving Company in Minersville, UT

What the job involves in Minersville

Minersville is a straightforward place to work once you know it, and we have been working it for over a decade. With roughly 873 residents, Minersville is a smaller community in Beaver 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 Minersville 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 Minersville

Most of our Minersville work sits around Minersville town centre, 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 Beaver, Milford and Parowan 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.

Minersville runs on agriculture and ranching and mining, 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 — Beaver County included.

A move between Minersville and the northern half of the state falls in an awkward gap — too far for a local rate, too short for a van line. We price it as what it is: a long day with one crew.

Who actually turns up to a moving company job in Minersville

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 Minersville 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.

Book earlier than feels necessary for month-end and for anything between May and September; those dates go first.

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.
