Moving in Taylorsville
Many Taylorsville moves are what Lincoln Kelley calls standard household moves. Lincoln, a Relocation Consultant with Bailey's Moving & Storage, mostly finds short driveways here, ramblers with basements, and some older homes, mostly split-levels. Straightforward access doesn't mean there's nothing to plan, though. In a split-level, your things are spread across several levels, and the prep work you do before moving day shows up in how smoothly the day goes.
Bailey's Moving & Storage serves Taylorsville 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.
Getting a split-level ready
Walk your consultant through every level during the in-home visit, including the basement and storage under the stairs, so nothing is missed in the estimate. Then, as you pack:
- Label each box with its room and its level in the new home.
- Finish one level at a time so the crew isn't working around half-packed rooms.
- Keep stairways and landings clear on moving day.
- Point out heavy or awkward pieces on lower levels early.
Labeling matters on every move. In a house with several short flights of stairs, it saves trips back and forth at both ends.
When your move date can't change
Sometimes the date is set for you: a closing, a lease end, or a project you don't control. When the deadline is fixed, tell us at the estimate so the plan, including any packing days, can be built back from that date. This is where booking early helps most. Book at least 10–14 days ahead; about 30 days is ideal.
What your move will cost
Compare estimated totals, not hourly rates. Local moves are most commonly billed by time for a crew and truck, with the clock running from when the crew leaves our warehouse until it returns. Long-distance moves are priced by weight and distance, plus any extra services you choose. Valuation coverage is your choice; ask your consultant what each option covers and costs. If you're between homes, our temperature-controlled warehouse storage is priced by weight.
Questions about moving in Taylorsville
What can I do to keep the cost down?
Ask your consultant which parts of the job you could reasonably handle yourself, such as packing some rooms, and get the agreed split in writing. Lincoln's advice is to listen to the consultant's time estimate, because faster isn't automatically better.
