Residential Moving FAQs
Local moving costs are typically charged by the hour and depend on the number of crew members needed. Most local moves in the Salt Lake City area range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. Costs vary based on the size of your home, number of items, accessibility (stairs, elevators, long carries), and time of year. Most companies have a 2-hour minimum.
Standard local moves take anywhere from 2-8 hours depending on the size of your home, number of items, stairs, and complexity. Movers usually provide estimates based on home size, but variables like difficult access, heavy items, and disassembly needs can affect timing.
For local moves, booking 2-4 weeks in advance is recommended. During peak moving season (May-September), book earlier as the first and last weeks of each month fill up quickly—especially in popular areas like Park City and the Salt Lake Valley.
Spring and fall are ideal in Utah due to mild weather and lower demand. Summer is the busiest and most expensive season. If moving in summer, book well in advance. Winter moves may offer better pricing and availability, though mountain areas can present weather challenges.
Yes, most local movers come equipped with dollies, blankets, straps, and basic moving equipment. They can also sell or provide packing materials like boxes, tape, and bubble wrap. Some companies include wardrobe boxes for free on local moves.
Create clear pathways to all exits, pack a box of essentials you’ll need immediately, empty and clean appliances, disconnect electronics, label boxes clearly with room destinations, and have valuable documents and medications separate from the moving truck.
Movers cannot transport hazardous materials (paint, chemicals, propane), perishable food, plants, pets, prescription medications, important documents, cash, jewelry, and other irreplaceable personal items. Keep these with you during the move.
This varies by company. Many allow you to leave lightweight clothing in dressers, but movers may ask you to empty them if they’re too heavy or could cause damage. Always empty fragile items from cabinets and secure loose shelves and doors.
Tipping is customary but not required. A general guideline is $20-40 per mover for local moves, or 5-10% of the total cost. Adjust based on the quality of service, difficulty of the move, and your satisfaction.
Most moving companies accept major credit cards, cash, certified checks, and money orders. Some may offer payment plans. Payment is typically due before unloading at your destination.
Moving companies provide basic liability coverage (typically $0.60 per pound per article). Consider purchasing additional moving insurance for full replacement value, especially for valuable items. Check with your homeowners insurance as well.
Since local moves are charged hourly, you only pay for actual time used. Most companies prorate to the nearest 15 minutes after meeting the minimum hourly requirement. If your move is well-organized, it may take less time than estimated.
