Moving a condo or townhome in West Valley City
Condos make up most of the West Valley City moves Lincoln Kelley handles. Lincoln, a Relocation Consultant with Bailey's Moving & Storage, also sees more townhomes and condos being built as the valley grows. In a shared building, the question that matters most on moving day is a simple one: where will the truck park?
Bailey's Moving & Storage serves West Valley City 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.
Plan the truck before you need a shuttle
Some moves use a full-size tractor-trailer, and a truck that size needs real room to park near your entrance. When it can't get close, the fallback is a shuttle: a smaller truck carries your things between the building and the big truck. That means your belongings get handled twice, and the shuttle adds to the bill.
You can often avoid that with planning. Before your in-home visit, ask your HOA or property manager where a large moving truck is allowed to load, whether a space can be reserved for moving day, and what hours moves are allowed. Share the answers with your consultant, who can tell you whether the big truck will work or a shuttle should be in the estimate. Either way, you'll know before moving day instead of finding out from the driver.
Houses in West Valley City
Not every move here is a condo. For houses, Lincoln mostly sees short driveways and split-level or rambler homes with basements, and in his experience those moves rarely run into anything tricky. Basement stairs and the number of rooms still shape the time on a local move, so show your consultant every level.
What your move will cost
Compare estimated totals, not hourly rates. 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, such as a shuttle when one is needed. 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 West Valley City
What is a shuttle, and will I need one?
A shuttle is a smaller truck that moves your belongings between your home and the main truck when the main truck can't park close enough. Your consultant can tell you during the in-home visit whether your building is likely to need one.
