Moving Company in Orem Utah
Finding a reliable moving company is one of the most important decisions you’ll make during a relocation. The right mover protects your belongings, shows up on time, and charges what they quoted. The wrong one can turn a stressful day into a nightmare.
Uinta Moving Company is a full-service moving company serving Orem Utah and throughout Utah. We’re not a broker — we own our trucks and employ our crews. That means you know who’s handling your belongings from pickup to delivery.
The Mismatch Problem in Detail
A full-service quote is built from three numbers: crew size, hours, and truck size. Get any of them wrong and the price is wrong.
Small moves quoted as full-household jobs. A student’s one-bedroom apartment gets priced as if it were a three-bedroom house because the estimator didn’t ask. The result is a quote that’s hundreds of dollars too high.
Large moves quoted from a phone description. A family home gets a flat quote from a phone call, the crew arrives short-handed, and the move runs long—at the hourly rate. The result is a bill that’s hundreds of dollars too high.
The fix is the same in both cases: a survey. Ours happens in person or by video, and it produces a written estimate tied to an inventory.
What to Ask Before You Sign
“Will you survey the apartment?” A company that quotes without seeing the unit is guessing. We offer video surveys for small moves so the estimate is quick but accurate.
“How many movers will show up?” For a studio or one-bedroom, two movers are usually enough. For a two-bedroom, three. Get it in writing.
“Do you own the truck?” A broker sells your job to a carrier you never interviewed. A licensed carrier owns the equipment. Ask for the USDOT number and verify it on the FMCSA website.
“What’s the minimum?” Most Utah movers have a two-hour minimum, so even a small move starts around $313. Knowing the floor helps you compare quotes.
Why Orem’s Two Markets Need Two Different Approaches
Orem has two distinct moving populations, and each one needs a different plan.
Student and apartment moves. UVU’s academic calendar turns over student housing every April and December. These moves are small—a bed, a desk, a dresser, a shared couch, and a few boxes. Many students need only a portion of what’s in the apartment. Our single item moving service and on-site moving teams handle small loads and labor-only support for students loading a rental truck.
Family and faculty moves. Orem’s family neighborhoods sit east of State Street, near Orem High School and Mountain View High School, and in the foothill subdivisions. Those homes are larger, furniture is heavier, and moves are tied to home sales, job transfers, and retirement. Those need a full crew, disassembly, wrapping, and a delivery plan.
What Full-Service Covers
A full-service move is a sequence of tasks, each with a cost.
Packing and unpacking. Our packing services cover the whole house, a few fragile rooms, or the kitchen alone.
Loading and unloading. Furniture is loaded to prevent shifting, heavier pieces low, fragile pieces secured, in a sequence that matches your new floor plan.
Furniture protection. Blankets, stretch wrap, and corner guards on every piece, plus floor runners through the house.
Disassembly and reassembly. Beds, desks, dining tables, and some sectionals come apart and go back together, with hardware bagged and labeled.
Transportation. The truck and driver are ours.
Oversized pieces go to our furniture movers, pianos to our piano movers, and single items to our single item moving service.
Orem Pricing, Split by Move Size
Utah movers average $156 per hour with a two-hour minimum, so any full-service job starts around $313.
| Home Size | Crew Size | Typical Hours | Average Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio apartment | 2 movers | 3 hours | $624 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 movers | 4 hours | $843 |
| 2 bedrooms | 3 movers | 5 hours | $1,325 |
| 3 bedrooms | 4 movers | 8 hours | $2,980 |
| 4 bedrooms | 4 movers | 9 hours | $3,409 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 5 movers | 10 hours | $5,212 |
Labor-only moves—where you rent the truck and drive—cost $59 to $80 per mover per hour instead. For a student loading a rental trailer, labor-only is often the right choice.
What raises the Orem number: stairs, long carries, packing scope, specialty items, and peak season from May through September. What lowers it: decluttering before we arrive and doing your own packing.
Orem Moves We’ve Handled
A UVU graduate accepts a job in Denver and needs a bed, desk, and couch moved out of a shared apartment. A family near Mountain View High School sells their home and needs furniture moved to a new house in Provo. A young professional in an Orem townhome buys a sectional from a store in Lehi and needs it delivered and placed. A retired couple near the Orem City Center downsizes and needs furniture moved into a smaller home, with the rest donated. A remote worker moves a home office—desk, chair, filing cabinets, monitors—to a new apartment in Salt Lake City.
