Licensed and Insured Moving Company in Woods Cross

What the job involves in Woods Cross

Woods Cross is a straightforward place to work once you know it, and we have been working it for over a decade. With roughly 11,531 residents, Woods Cross is a smaller community in Davis County, and that shows up in the job: largely detached properties, long driveways and very little kerbside constraint.

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

What a Woods Cross job looks like

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

• A survey that sets the crew size and the truck, in writing
• Protection installed before the first item moves
• Wrapping and padding done in the property, not in the truck
• A load built to carry, with weight low and square
• Placement and reassembly at the destination

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 Woods Cross

Most of our Woods Cross work sits around Woods Cross Station and Main Street, 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 Bountiful, North Salt Lake and Centerville in the same week, so a moving company job here rarely needs a separate trip charge — and if your move crosses between them, it is one crew rather than a handover.

Woods Cross runs on refining and energy, logistics 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 — Davis County included.

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

What licensed and insured means for a moving company job in Woods Cross

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 Woods Cross 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.

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.
