Senior Moving Services Near Me in St. George, Utah

A great many people move to St. George deliberately and late, having decided over a long period. It is usually a well-considered relocation, and there is one part of it that regularly goes wrong: when in the year it happens.

Just-In-Time Moving works with older clients and their families across St. George and Washington County.

Timing matters more than people expect

If you have a choice, avoid arriving in the hottest part of the year. Directing an unload, deciding where things go and being on your feet all day is hard work in any weather, and the summer here is a genuinely poor introduction for anybody, particularly anyone for whom heat is a health consideration.

Spring and autumn are considerably easier and the difference is larger than people anticipate.

If the date is fixed and it falls in summer, take the earliest possible start, make certain the cooling is on and working before the load arrives, and arrange for someone to be responsible for directing the unload other than the person who has just travelled.

Downsizing before you come

Most of these moves are also downsizing moves, from a larger family home somewhere else.

The decisions are easier made at the old house than at the new one, where you are surrounded by boxes in a place you do not yet know. Measure the rooms of the new home before you sort, because it changes which pieces are worth the journey, and on a long move you are paying to transport volume a long way.

Sort into three: what comes, what goes to family, what is cleared. Two-way sorting stalls because the hard items are exactly the ones that are neither.

Be aware of what the climate suits. Solid wood furniture that has spent decades in a humid part of the country will dry out here, and some pieces move more than others. It is not a reason to leave good furniture behind, and it is a reason to keep it away from vents and direct sun once it arrives.

On the day

Our crews expect to work at the pace of the household rather than the truck. Standard furniture disassembly and reassembly is included. Ask for the bed to be built and made first and it will be, which after a long journey matters more than anything else that happens.

Just-In-Time Moving is licensed in Utah and carries general liability insurance, seven days a week including evenings.
