Licensed and Insured Labor-Only Movers
St. George, Utah

What the job involves in St. George

Just-In-Time Moving has run labor-only movers jobs across St. George since 2012, and the work here has its own shape. With roughly 101,995 residents, St. George is one of the larger communities in Washington 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 a St. George job looks like

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

• Crew only — you supply the truck or container, we supply the people
• Loading to a plan so the container carries without shifting in transit
• Protection and padding brought with the crew
• Hourly billing with the crew size agreed in advance
• Unloading and placement at the far end if you want it

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 St. George

Most of our St. George work sits around Bloomington, Little Valley, Desert Color and Washington Fields, 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 Washington, Santa Clara and Ivins in the same week, so a labor-only movers job here rarely needs a separate trip charge — and if your move crosses between them, it is one crew rather than a handover.

St. George runs on healthcare, tourism and hospitality and construction, 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 — Washington County included.

We also work the northern end of the state, so a move from St. George up to the Wasatch Front is one crew start to finish rather than a handover.

What licensed and insured means for a labor-only movers job in St. George

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 a St. George 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.

Month-end and the summer weeks fill first. If your date is flexible by a fortnight, say so — it is often worth money.

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.
