Commercial Movers

What the job involves in Orem

Booking commercial movers in Orem starts with the same question every time: what actually has to move, and by when. With roughly 97,182 residents, Orem is one of the larger communities in Utah County, and that shows up in the job: more flats and shared access, more parking restrictions, more jobs that need a lift booked.

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 Orem job

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

• A site survey covering access, lifts, dock height and out-of-hours rules
• A sequenced plan so the business is never fully offline
• Labelled crates and a destination map for every department
• Insurance certificates issued to both buildings ahead of the date
• A supervisor on site for the whole move, not just the loading

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 Orem

Most of our Orem work sits around Sharon Park, Cascade, Northgate and University Place 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 Provo, Lindon and Vineyard in the same week, so a commercial movers job here rarely needs a separate trip charge — and if your move crosses between them, it is one crew rather than a handover.

Orem runs on higher education, technology and retail, 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 — Utah County included.

The other thing worth knowing is that we work both ends of the state. A move from Orem down to Washington County is one crew and one truck for us, not a handover to a partner carrier halfway.

Who actually turns up to a commercial movers job in Orem

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, timing and cost in Orem

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.

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

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.
