Moving Company in Salt Lake City 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 Salt Lake City 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.
What the Building Needs Before the Crew Arrives
Every downtown and mid-rise move runs on documents and reservations that a homeowner in the suburbs never thinks about.
Freight elevator reservation. Towers along 400 South and near the Granite Mill district book elevators in advance, often with a refundable deposit. The window is typically two to four hours. If the truck arrives late, the window is lost and the move slips to the next available slot.
Loading zone permit. City permits are required for a truck to occupy a commercial loading zone for an extended period. Without one, the truck gets moved along and the crew waits.
Certificate of Insurance. Most managed buildings require a COI naming the building as additional insured before a crew can use the service entrance. Our office sends this directly to property management.
Move-in hours. Some buildings restrict move-in and move-out to weekday daytime or to weekends only. The schedule gets built around the rule, not against it.
We collect all four during the survey. A mover who doesn’t ask about them is a mover who will discover them on moving day.
The Avenues, Federal Heights, and the Rest of the City
Not every Salt Lake City move is downtown. The Avenues, north of South Temple, and Federal Heights, east of the University of Utah, have some of the steepest residential streets in the city. Homes sit on narrow lots with single-lane driveways. In winter, snow and ice can make a steep street unpassable for a loaded truck, which is why we check the forecast before a move.
Older homes in these neighborhoods have narrow doorways, tight staircases, and original woodwork that needs protection. Our crews plan disassembly order and floor protection so nothing gets damaged on the way out.
What a Full-Service Move Covers
A full-service move is a sequence, not a single task.
Packing and unpacking. Our packing services cover the whole apartment, a few fragile rooms, or the kitchen alone, with boxes labeled by destination room.
Loading and unloading. Furniture is loaded in an order that matches your new layout, heavier pieces low, fragile items strapped.
Furniture protection. Blankets, stretch wrap, and corner guards on every piece, plus floor runners through hallways and stairwells.
Disassembly and reassembly. Beds, desks, dining tables, and some sectionals come apart and go back together, with hardware bagged and labeled.
Transportation. We provide the truck and driver, sized for the street and the load.
Oversized pieces go to our furniture movers, pianos to our piano movers, and single items to our single item moving service.

Salt Lake City Moves We’ve Handled
A young professional in a downtown condo needs a sectional, bed, and desk moved out before the lease ends and the elevator reservation expires. A family in Sugar House sells their home and needs furniture moved to a new house in Holladay. A resident in the Avenues inherits an antique armoire and needs it moved from a relative’s house. A renter in Liberty Wells buys a couch from a store in Murray and needs it delivered and placed. A remote worker in Rose Park moves a home office to a new apartment in South Salt Lake.
For Renters, Homeowners, and Businesses
Our residential moving crews handle single-family homes across the Avenues, Federal Heights, Sugar House, Liberty Wells, Rose Park, Glendale, and the east bench. Renters in the city’s apartment and condo buildings use our apartment movers when the job involves stairs, elevators, or tight hallways. If you’re loading a rental truck and need hands, our on-site moving teams provide labor without the vehicle.
For Salt Lake City businesses—offices, medical practices, and downtown firms—our office moving and commercial moving services cover desks, chairs, cubicles, fixtures, and filing systems. For downtown towers, we coordinate elevator reservations, loading docks, and COI delivery with building management.

Frequently Asked Questions About Moving Companies in Salt Lake City
How much do moving companies cost in Salt Lake City?
Utah movers average $156 per hour with a two-hour minimum. Full-service jobs run from about $624 for a studio to $5,212 for a five-plus-bedroom home. Downtown moves often take longer because of elevator and loading zone logistics.
Can you handle a building that requires a Certificate of Insurance?
Yes. Our office delivers the COI directly to property management as part of the scheduling process.
What if the freight elevator reservation falls through?
We confirm the reservation in advance and build buffer into the schedule. If the building changes the window, we reschedule the crew rather than waiting on site.
What’s the difference between a moving company and a broker?
A moving company owns the trucks and employs the crew. A broker sells your job to a third-party carrier you never chose. Ask directly, and verify the USDOT number on the FMCSA website.
How far ahead should I book?
Four to six weeks for local moves, eight to twelve for long distance. Downtown buildings with limited elevator slots fill fastest.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Uinta Moving Company is fully licensed and insured, and we provide documentation on request.
