Moving in Draper, one phase at a time
A lot of Draper moves aren't one clean trip from one house to another. The home is being remodeled, part of it is still lived in, and the furniture has to get out of the way in the right order. That kind of move goes well when the plan matches the project.
Bailey's Moving & Storage moves Draper households with our own crews and trucks. We're a moving company, not a broker, and we've been moving families since 1952 as an Allied Van Lines agent.
Larger homes, older homes, more remodels
Lincoln Kelley, a Relocation Consultant with Bailey's Moving & Storage, sees larger homes in Draper that are getting older, and a lot of remodeling as owners update them. Some of those jobs are full household moves. Others are moves inside the same house while the work goes on.
Moving a remodel in stages
On a phased remodel, the crew can sometimes move one floor at a time and stage belongings in space you already have, such as a garage or shed, instead of sending everything to a warehouse. Whether that works depends on your house, your contractor's schedule and how much room you have, so plan it with your consultant during the in-home visit.
When your own space won't hold it, warehouse storage is the other route. Our temperature-controlled storage is priced by weight, and we deliver your things back when the work is finished.
Either way, decide early what the crew will handle and what you plan to do yourself. Lincoln's point is simple: if you want to stay within a tight budget, some of the legwork may fall to you. Putting that split in writing keeps the estimate honest and avoids surprises halfway through the project.
Hillside driveways and basement doors
Draper sits on the mountain side of the valley, and Lincoln often finds steep or very long driveways there. Some homes built on a slope have an outside basement door, which helps on loading day when it's there. Point out the driveway, the best place for a truck and every exit during the visit, and mention any HOA rules.
What your Draper move will cost
Look at the estimated total, not the hourly rate. Local moves are most commonly billed by time for a crew and truck. Long-distance moves are priced by weight and distance, plus any extra services you choose. A staged remodel move can mean more than one trip, so ask how the estimate counts each phase. Valuation coverage is your choice; ask your consultant what each option covers and costs. Book at least 10–14 days ahead; about 30 days is ideal.
Questions about moving in Draper
Can you move us in stages while we remodel?
Sometimes. We plan the phases with you during the in-home visit, using your own space for staging when it fits and warehouse storage when it doesn't.
