Licensed and Insured Movers in Orem, UT

What the job involves in Orem

Booking 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.

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

What an Orem job looks like

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

• A written estimate from a real survey
• A crew sized to the job, on time
• Full protection of floors, doors and furniture
• A load packed to travel without shifting
• Placement where you want it at the other end

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 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 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: 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 — Utah County included.

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

What licensed and insured means for a movers job in Orem

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 an Orem 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.

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.
