Small Moves Denver

What Small Moves From Denver Usually Look Like

Many small moves out of Denver happen between chapters of life rather than between houses. Someone has a furnished one-bedroom, a new address in another state and a short list of things worth keeping, and the numbers on a full moving truck do not work for six pieces and some boxes.

Residents, Fellows and New Hires

Medical training at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora runs on a July calendar, so late spring brings residents and fellows who need a bed, a desk and a wall of books at their next program. People leaving for a new job face the same choice: rent a truck and drive it over the mountains or across the plains, or ship the few things they want and fly.

Downsizing and Splitting a Household

Downsizers in Littleton, Arvada or Centennial selling a long-held house often keep a short list: a china hutch, a cedar chest, a recliner and the boxes of photos. A household that splits up is another small move, with one person keeping the apartment in Five Points and the other sending a bedroom’s worth of furniture to family.

Where a Denver Shipment Can Go

Freight leaving the metro heads out on I-25, I-70 or I-76. We deliver small moves state to state in all 50 states, across Canada and to most international destinations, and the pricing method stays the same on every lane, so long distance movers for small loads do not have to cost more than the load itself.

At the delivery end you choose the level of service. Full Service brings everything inside your new home. Curbside Delivery leaves it at the nearest spot a truck can get to. Will-Call, the lowest price, has you collect the shipment at the destination terminal, where short-term storage is available if your lease has not started yet.

Planning a Small Move Pickup at Your Denver Address

Every estimate includes white glove pickup from the first floor of your home or business. What makes a Denver pickup quick or slow is usually the building and the curb, so these are the details worth sending with your booking.

Garden-Level Units and Walk-Ups in Capitol Hill and Baker

Older apartment buildings in Capitol Hill, Baker and Congress Park often have a garden-level unit half a flight below the sidewalk and upper floors reached only by stairs. Call (866) 333-8018 to check access at your building before you book.

Slot Homes and Townhomes in LoHi, Highland and Sloan’s Lake

The narrow townhomes built side by side on many lots in LoHi, Highland, Berkeley and Sloan’s Lake stack living space on three or four floors joined by tight interior stairs, often with a shared side drive too narrow for a truck. Let us know where on the street a truck could stand.

Towers and Lofts Near Union Station and in RiNo

High-rises around Union Station and converted warehouse lofts in RiNo and LoDo usually ask movers to book a freight elevator or loading dock window. Before you book, call (866) 333-8018 to talk through access at your tower or loft.

Parking, Street Sweeping and Game Days

From April through November, Denver sweeps residential streets on a posted schedule, and cars left on the wrong side that day get ticketed. Many blocks near downtown are also residential permit zones. Check the signs on your block for the pickup date and tell us where a truck can stop closest to your door.

Home games at Coors Field, Ball Arena and Empower Field at Mile High fill the streets in LoDo, around Union Station and in Jefferson Park. If you live near a stadium, check the schedule and mention any game on your pickup date when you book.

Apartment Complexes in Aurora, Lakewood and Westminster

Large garden-style complexes in the suburbs spread units across many buildings behind a gate. Send the gate code, your building number and the nearest parking lot with your booking so the crew can find your door on the first try.

Packing Services in Denver Come With the Shipment

People searching for packing services in Denver often plan to hire one company to pack and a second one to haul. With Ship Smart that is a single booking. Professional packing is included with every shipment, and pieces that need more protection, such as antiques, art, glass or a grandfather clock, can travel in a custom crate built around them.

A trip down from 5,280 feet adds one more thing to plan for. Air pressure rises as a shipment comes down toward sea level, so a sealed plastic container closed up in Denver can arrive dented or crumpled. List wine, sealed food storage and musical instruments on your inventory so the packers wrap them with the descent in mind.

Camping gear packs better clean and dry. Let a tent air out after the last weekend in the mountains so nothing sits damp for the length of the trip.

What Small Load Movers in Denver Cost

Four things set the price of a small move from Denver: the packed weight of your shipment, the room it takes up on the truck, how far it travels and which delivery level you choose at the other end. Because the load shares a truck, you are not paying for empty space behind it.

To give you a sense of scale, these are the ranges across our published routes:

• A few furniture pieces with boxes, around 500 lbs: $600 to $1,650
• A bedroom set: $700 to $2,200
• A studio, around 1,000 lbs: $950 to $2,650
• A one-bedroom, around 1,500 lbs: $1,200 to $3,150

Your own number comes from the online estimator once you list your items, or from a call to (866) 333-8018. If you would rather spread the cost out, financing is available through Enhancify.
