Local Moves in Denver

A flat number you sign before move day, the same named crew load to unload, and movers who already know your block of Cap Hill, Wash Park, or the Highlands.

Family Movers has been moving Denver families since 2011, and most of our work happens inside the city itself: the brick bungalows of Wash Park, the Denver squares of Park Hill, the walk-up Victorians of Capitol Hill with their alley access and no driveway. Joe started this company with his wife Karen, and the same named crew that loads your truck is the crew that unloads it.

You get a flat written price before we lift a single box, our own uniformed W-2 movers, and the kind of patient, careful handling you’d want around your kids’ rooms and grandma’s china.

On file and in good standing: US DOT/MC authority plus our Colorado PUC household-goods mover permit — fully insured
Your price comes in writing, plain as day — read the whole thing, there’s no fine print working against you
The trucks are ours and so are the movers — Joe’s uniformed crew, start to finish

Ask Joe for your flat price

Tell us a little about the move, and the team at our South Broadway office sends one firm price for all of it straight back — almost always inside the hour, and never a penny owed for the asking.

★★★★★ 5/5 · 32 Denver families moved · Licensed & fully insured

A Denver move is its own animal. Half our jobs sit on streets where the only way in is the back alley, the stairs are narrow and turn twice, and there’s nowhere to park a 26-footer but the curb on Colfax. Add a spring snowstorm or a hard July sun, and you want movers who already know the block, not a crew seeing Capitol Hill for the first time.

That’s where a real local company earns its keep. Pedro and Kurt have been leading crews here since 2011 and 2014; they’ve carried sofas down the same Highlands stoops a hundred times. We bring pads, dollies, shrink wrap, straps and tools on every truck, and we plan the parking and the stair-runs before the day, not during it. On a Five Points or Berkeley street where the truck has to sit a long carry from the door, we work that out in advance so it never eats your move-day clock.

What a Denver move actually costs

We quote two ways and lock whichever you pick in writing. Hourly suits tight in-town moves; a flat band suits a full home where you want one number.

Home size	Flat band
Studio	$350–$560
1-bedroom	$580–$940
2-bedroom	$1,000–$1,580
3-bedroom	$1,680–$2,600
4-bed house	$2,350–$3,550

Hourly is $145/hr for a 2-mover crew and truck, $195/hr for a 3-mover crew. Pads, dollies and tools are always included, with no surprise gear fees. We take a $125 deposit to lock the day, and it is credited straight to your final bill.

What’s not in the price

We’d rather be plain about it. The flat number covers our crew, truck, fuel and standard protection inside the Denver metro. A few things sit outside it:

Packing materials and pack-out labor, which is our Full-Service Packers add-on from $410
Specialty items like an upright piano or a gun safe, from $359
Long stair-carries or shuttle trucks where a semi can’t reach a tight alley
Full-value protection above the standard $0.60/lb released value

None of it appears on moving day as a shock. Ray walks the home, in person or by video, and writes it all down first.

What’s covered by your flat quote

Everything Joe’s crew pulls up with on move day — nothing added afterward, nothing sprung on you.

A flat written price agreed before the first box leaves the floor, or hourly at $145/hr for a two-mover crew and $195/hr for three — your pick, locked in writing either way
The same uniformed, full-time Denver crew from load to unload — no swap-ins, no subcontractors, no day labor
Furniture pads, dollies, straps, hand trucks, fuel, and the truck itself, all folded into the number with no gear fees
Glass tops, dressers, and upholstered pieces pad-wrapped before they move — plus careful handling on tight Denver stairs
Beds, tables, and standard furniture taken apart and put back together at the new place
Up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage per shipment, $0.60/lb released value standard with full-value protection on request

“I moved from Englewood to Aurora, and Joe and Pedro from Family Movers were fantastic. They handled everything with so much care, from packing to unloading, and made sure all my electronics and artwork were protected. Moving is never fun, but they made it smooth and easy. Great option for anyone in Englewood and Aurora.”

“Movers were courteous and careful. Did a great job in a fairly short period of time despite having to deal with large bulky furniture, a modest sized elevator and a garage ramp.”

What Denver folks ask us most

Do you handle the older walk-ups around Capitol Hill and the Highlands with no driveway?

All the time; it’s most of our week. We scout the alley access, narrow turns and stair count beforehand, bring extra pads for tight doorways, and stage the truck where it won’t block the street. Those century-old bungalows and Victorians are exactly what our Denver crews are built for.

Will my quote change once the movers show up?

No. We give you a flat written price after Ray sees the home, and that’s the number you pay. The only way it moves is if you add work on the day, like extra stops or items not on the original list, and we’d tell you the cost before doing it.

How does a Denver snowstorm affect my move day?

We move year-round through Denver winters. If roads are genuinely unsafe we’ll call you early and reschedule at no charge, but most of the time we just salt the path, lay extra floor runners against the slush, and keep your floors and boxes dry on the way out and in.

Are you actually a licensed Denver mover, or do you hand the job to someone else?

We run every job ourselves with our own trucks and employed crews. Family Movers holds US DOT/MC authority and a Colorado PUC household-goods permit, and we’re bonded and insured. No subcontractors, no day labor; Joe trained the crew that shows up at your door.

Here’s how a quote works with us: text or email the two ZIP codes plus the day you’re aiming for, and you’ll usually hear back from Joe or Karen by end of day with one written number. That number is built by our own Denver crew on our own trucks — people we put on payroll and trained ourselves — and once it’s on the page, it doesn’t change on you the morning of the move.
