“Honesty, Backed by Integrity” has been our motto as long as we have been in business. Valgardson House Movers began operating in 1948 with Paul Valgardson at the helm. His belief and knowledge has been handed down to his sons, Bill and David, who carry on that motto today. We are a dependable, hard working company that can move almost anything you need. We have moved brick houses, frame houses, modular houses, portable school classrooms, metal buildings, log houses, church houses, barns, granaries and water towers. However, we do not move furniture.
We work with the Utah Department of Transportation and the Utah Highway Patrol. We are licensed and insured for your protection. We take great pride in house moving and strive to do the best job possible.
The busiest times for moving companies are typically during the summer months, May-September.
If you are planning a move during that time you should make arrangements early.
Friday and Saturdays are big moving days so if you have flexibility in your schedule it can
be easier to get a date during the week rather than a weekend.
On the day of the move you need to be present. There is paperwork to sign and you need to
show the movers exactly what is being moved. After the movers have loaded the truck you will
be ask to do a walk through. That is the time to point out anything that may have been missed
once the truck drives away they are done.
At the unload they will place boxes in rooms based on the rooms written on the boxes
(ie., bedroom, kitchen, garage). Furniture will be placed in the location you specify.
It is helpful if you already have a basic idea where you want furniture placed.
If the movers have to keep rearranging and switching furniture around it will take longer
and you are paying hourly.
