How many moving trucks will you need?
Well, while the answer to this question for many people automatically goes to one, it may not be true. The amount of trucks needed for your move in Denver depends on how many items you’re moving. Traditionally, small one or two bed apartments only require one 26-foot truck. However, if you’re moving a three bedroom apartment, condo, townhouse or home, you may need an additional truck.
Another thing to consider is the amount of time you’ve been in your current home. If you haven’t moved in a while there’s a possibility your home is loaded. If you’re unsure, ask your Denver moving company to conduct an in-home estimate to properly determine your moving need.
What do you do when the Denver movers arrive at your new home?
When the moving company arrives at your home there are few things you must do. Let’s go over them:
- Review your move plan with your Denver moving foreman
- Review the inventory list as items are being unloaded into your home
- Make sure items are being placed in the proper location
- Only unpack items that you will need for the first two days. Primarily your focus should be on creating a wholesome family environment. Unpack the remaining items over the next two weeks
- As you unpack, make sure there are no damages. If your Denver moving company is unpacking, make sure you supervise the process
- Manage your boxes and supplies by either storing them in a specified area or prepare them to be recycled
- Be prepared to handle payment
- Contact your moving company to report the level of quality, service and value provided
- Check on your mail delivery
- Register your children for school
- Check with your utility company on delivery of trash receptacles, water restrictions and more.
Looking for your dream home?
Moving in Denver first requires the skills of a reputable real estate agent. There are so many stunning communities in the area to choose from. However, depending on your price point and specific needs, you may want to stream-line your search to a certain area. Your real estate agent will be able to search for homes within your budget and specified location. After you narrow your search down to at least three to five homes, weigh the pros and cons of each home’s neighborhood, desired amenities, location and price.
Moving an antique, pool table or piano?
Specialty moving can be somewhat complex. Often times we settle for a family friend or relative to handle our pool table, antique furniture or gun safe, thinking it’s a small moving job. Although it may appear small in nature it still requires a professional mover who’s experienced with handling these types of moves in Denver.

Prepare Well and Protect Your Belongings
Your possessions are valuable so before your Denver movers arrive consider the following:
- Don’t put irreplaceables on the moving truck. Have an important family heirloom or rare collector’s item that you cannot replace? Don’t put it on the truck. Many moving companies prohibit this, and, in any case, it’s wise to keep such items with you so that you can ensure their safety.
- Label your boxes. Have a fragile item? Transporting sensitive electronic equipment? Label your boxes “Fragile” on all visible surfaces of the box. If certain items must be kept upright, label which side ought to be up so that your Denver movers can protect your goods.
- Pack well. Don’t pack haphazardly. Pad fragile items carefully and don’t store incompatible items in the same box. In fact, if you can, consider having your goods packed professionally by your Denver moving company.
- Pack room by room. In addition to padding your important items, it helps to pack room by room. That way, when the boxes are delivered, it’s easier to know where the boxes ought to be placed. It also makes it easier to unpack, as each box has been situated where it needs to be in your new home.
Moving in Denver? What type of moving quote would you like?
This is the busiest time of the year for movers in Denver. Are you needing a moving quote for your upcoming relocation? Well depending on your schedule you can receive a moving quote in a number of ways.
- A Denver moving coordinator can supply you with a moving quote via phone.
- You can also phone in and request an in-home estimator to come out to your home and supply you with a written moving quote.
- Lastly, you can submit a moving quote request via the internet and receive a written quote by email.
All of these are viable options for receiving a moving quote for your move in Denver. The one you select all depends on what you feel works best for you.

Does my Denver move require a deposit to book?
This question is asked frequently by consumers moving in Denver and the answer sometimes varies. Most Denver moving companies require a deposit in order to book a move. However, at the same time, other movers don’t require a deposit but rather just a verbal confirmation. A deposit is always a non-refundable amount and is generally at least $50-$75. This amount is usually paid at the time of booking your move and does go towards the overall cost of the move. When you pay a deposit you’re guaranteeing your Denver moving company the job and securing your move date.
Can I get an in-home estimate?
The answer is yes. Most Denver moving companies send an in-home estimator out to determine your moving need if your home is over 2400sqft or if you’re making a long distance move. However, if you request an estimator for your upcoming move, they typically will oblige. In all honesty, if you have over 2400 sqft it’s to your advantage to have a skilled estimator from a Denver moving company come out and assess what your overall moving cost might be. The wonderful thing about this particular service is the written quote you receive. Your estimate will at least cost the amount quoted. However, it could also be lower. If it’s lower you will only pay for the time you use. If it’s higher you will only pay the amount quoted the day of the estimate. Contact a Denver mover today to get scheduled for your in-home estimate.
