Moving in Bountiful starts with the house
In Bountiful, the house usually sets the plan: how steep the driveway is, how far the truck sits from the door, and whether part of the home is in the middle of a remodel. Get those details into the estimate and moving day holds fewer surprises.
Bailey's Moving & Storage serves Bountiful from our Salt Lake City office at 400 N 700 W in North Salt Lake. We're a moving company with our own crews and trucks, not a broker, and we've been moving families since 1952 as an Allied Van Lines agent.
Hillside homes: show us the driveway and every door
Lincoln Kelley, a Relocation Consultant with Bailey's Moving & Storage, describes Bountiful as mountain-side moving: steep driveways, or very long ones. On a fair number of hillside homes, the slope also gives the basement its own outside door, which makes moving out easier.
That varies home by home, so walk your consultant through all of it during the in-home visit: the driveway, where a truck could park, and every way out of the house, including a basement door if you have one. Mention HOA rules too. Local moves are billed by time, so anything that lengthens the walk between the door and the truck belongs in the estimate, not in a surprise on moving day.
Moving out of, or around, a remodel
Lincoln also sees a lot of remodeling as Bountiful's larger homes age. Across the Salt Lake valley, the pattern he describes is the same: belongings go into storage while construction is underway, then come back once the work is finished.
Our Salt Lake City office offers temperature-controlled warehouse storage for short or long stays. Storage is priced by weight, and if you want to get into your things, call ahead and we'll have them ready. In Lincoln's experience, remodel customers rarely need to visit what they've stored, so a clear timeline matters more to them than how close the warehouse is. If your contractor's finish date is still a guess, say so up front so the storage plan allows for it.
Give a big house enough time
Large homes take real time to pack and load well. Lincoln's advice is to listen when your consultant talks about how long the job will take, because faster isn't automatically better. If budget is tight, ask which parts of the work you could reasonably take on yourself, and get the agreed split in writing.
What your Bountiful move will cost
Compare estimated totals, not hourly rates. A local move is most commonly billed by time for a crew and truck, with the clock running from when the crew leaves our warehouse until it returns. A long-distance move is priced by the weight of your belongings and the distance, plus any extra services you choose. Valuation coverage is your choice; ask your consultant what each option covers and costs.
The most accurate number comes from a free 30-minute in-home visit, where a consultant sees what you're actually moving. Book at least 10–14 days ahead; about 30 days is ideal.
