Best Senior Moving Services in Orem

What the job involves in Orem

Orem is a straightforward place to work once you know it, and we have been working it for over a decade. 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 slower first conversation, with family involved if that is wanted
• A plan for what comes, what goes to family, and what is sold or donated
• Packing done for the client rather than handed to them as a task list
• Furniture placed to a plan of the new room, so the first night works
• Beds made and essentials unpacked before we leave

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 senior moving services 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.

How to judge a senior moving services company in Orem

Ask for the USDOT or Utah PSC number and check it. Ask whether the crew are employed or day labour. Ask what the protection plan is — released-value cover is not insurance, and most people find that out after something is broken.

Ask what happens if the job runs over. A company that will not answer that on the phone will not answer it on the day either.

We have been doing this since 2012 with a 4.9 average across more than 266 five-star reviews. That record is public and worth checking rather than taking from 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.

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

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.
