Moving FAQ — Last Mile Moving

Quick answers on cost, licensing, protection, plus how our Denver crew runs a job.

Below are the things Denver-area households ask us most: how flat pricing works here, what the $1M cargo coverage takes in, plus how the crew handles winter snow, downtown high-rises, and the heavier pieces. Give it a read and your answer is probably waiting.

Still have a question? That’s fine — put the details on our quote form or reach us through the contact page. A real person at the office gets back to you with a clear answer, same business day, usually within the hour.

What does a local Denver move cost?
Two movers start at $129 an hour, and that already covers the truck, the pads, and the dollies. After a quick walk-through, or a video you send over, we write the flat figure down, so the quoted amount is what you pay and the clock never springs anything on you on move day.
Are you licensed and insured in Colorado?
Yes. Colorado licenses intrastate household-goods movers through the Colorado PUC, and we hold that permit; for interstate jobs we run on our own USDOT and MC authority, and every move carries $1 million of cargo coverage. Ask any time and the credentials come your way, plus whatever Certificate of Insurance a building or HOA requires.
Can you handle a move into a downtown high-rise or loft building?
Routinely. We work LoDo and RiNo loft buildings, Cherry Creek high-rises, and downtown towers all the time. Send us whatever the building management needs at booking, and we reserve the freight elevator and loading dock and get the COI squared away ahead of time, so the truck rolls in without holding up your day.
How far ahead should I book?
Aim for a couple of weeks out on weekends and the end of the month. A weekday or mid-month slot often holds on just a few days' notice, and any time there's an open truck we're glad to take same-day or short-notice work — call (303) 477-2840.
Do you need a deposit?
Most local jobs around the metro ask for nothing down; a phone confirmation the day before is all it takes. Bigger jobs and the interstate hauls hold the date with a small refundable deposit, which then comes off your final balance.
Which areas do you cover?
Home base is Denver, and we run all through the metro and the Front Range — Aurora, Lakewood, Arvada, Centennial, Littleton, Golden, Westminster, Thornton, Highlands Ranch, Parker, and the rest — plus regular long hauls down I-25 to Colorado Springs and over the divide on I-70.
Will you do the packing?
We will — the whole house boxed by our crew, or just a partial pass over the kitchen, the breakables, or whatever you'd rather not touch. Every box, sheet of paper, and roll of tape comes from us.
Can I pack myself to save money?
Of course. Plenty of folks fill their own boxes and hand off just the furniture and the heavy lifting. We'll also box up nothing but the fragile pieces if that's easier on you. Whatever falls to us goes plainly into the estimate.
Do you sell boxes and supplies?
Yes — cartons, tape, paper, bubble wrap, plus the odd-shaped boxes built for dishes, hanging clothes, and flat screens. We can drop them off early so you fill them at whatever pace suits you, well before move day.
How does your crew handle Denver winters and snow?
At a mile up the weather turns fast, and March and April bring the heaviest snow, so we watch the forecast closely. On move days we lay down floor runners, salt the walks where we can, and shrink-wrap furniture against the wet. Our trucks and drivers know icy Front Range grades, and we plan extra time into the schedule when the roads call for it.
What if there's a blizzard on moving day?
Ordinary cold and light snow don't stop us; we cover floors and shrink-wrap furniture to keep everything dry and clean. Only a genuine severe-weather day — a full spring blizzard or an ice event that makes the highways truly unsafe — pushes the date, and we send out a no-penalty reschedule right away.
Will you move a piano or other heavy pieces?
Yes. Figure $330 to $500 on an upright and $580 to $880 on a baby grand. Gun safes, pool tables, and other heavy or awkward items ride on proper piano boards, four-wheelers, and straps too. Flag them at booking so the crew shows up with the right gear.
Can you get my building or HOA its Certificate of Insurance?
Yes, that's routine for us at downtown high-rises, loft buildings, and HOA communities around the metro. Send over the requirements management hands you at booking, and a COI listing them by name arrives well before move day, no charge.
Is there anything you can't load?
Safety and the law keep us off hazardous goods like propane, gasoline, paint, and chemicals, along with perishable food and ammunition. A full rundown comes to you at booking so the day holds no surprises.
Do you offer storage?
Yes — climate-controlled units run somewhere around $110 to $270 a month depending on size, which keeps things steady through Denver's dry winters and warm summers. Your goods sit wrapped and locked until your dates line up, and we deliver whenever you give the word.
How does an out-of-state move from Colorado work?
Long hauls run on our own USDOT authority, priced as one binding figure in writing, with the truck tracked the whole way. The same people who load in Denver stay with the shipment door to door — nothing handed off, no load board, no swapping trailers at a warehouse.
Can you move a business or office?
Yes. Office and commercial moves around the metro and across the Front Range are squarely our kind of work, often booked for an evening or weekend so the business loses as few open hours as it can.
How can I pay?
Major credit cards, debit cards, and bank transfers all work. Payment settles once everything's down and your walk-through is done — the total sits in front of you well before we close out.
How does canceling work?
Cancel or move the date on 48 hours' notice and your deposit comes back whole. Nobody gets dinged here for a change of plans; the earlier the heads-up, the easier we can open that slot for someone else.
Should I tip the crew?
A tip is never part of the deal, and the quote stands complete on its own, but hard work hauling boxes up a mile-high staircase tends to earn one. Plenty of folks land near 10 to 20 percent of the job split among the crew, or a set amount per person — strictly your call.
