Best Moving Companies in Colorado (2025 Guide)

We analyzed 78 licensed movers in Colorado and surfaced the top companies for each type of move — from local and long-distance residential relocations to specialty moving for pianos and offices. Some movers appear in multiple categories because they specialize in several services.

Top Movers by City in Colorado

• Aurora
• Colorado Springs
• Denver
• Fort Collins

• Positive reputation: Reviews and referrals help separate the pros from the rest.
• Straightforward pricing: Transparent estimates help you budget without stress.
• Professional appearance and conduct: A respectful, on-time crew with the right tools sets the tone for the whole move.
• Flexibility with reschedules: Look for a mover that can handle last-minute changes without surprise costs.
• Customized service options: Only pay for what you need — nothing more.
• Local smarts: Familiarity with Colorado traffic, roads, and neighborhoods goes a long way.
• Compliance with regulations: Every mover we recommend is fully authorized — but you can double-check via the FMCSA.

• Double-check local moving regulations: Many Colorado cities have rules about when or where trucks can park.
• Break the ice in your new neighborhood: A small gesture like a wave or introduction can help you feel more at home.
• Keep valuables close and secure: Pack important or fragile items in a personal bag that travels with you.
• Pack for comfort based on the forecast: Having a seasonal essentials kit ready will save time and stress.
• Stay cool, hydrated, and alert: Moving is a marathon — take care of yourself to avoid burning out.
• Plan around local traffic hotspots: Avoid moving during peak hours in Denver to keep things smooth.
• Expect shifting weather and stay flexible: Colorado’s climate varies quite a bit, from mountains to deserts. Make sure to check the weather for your new city on moving day. The most extreme weather occurs in sparsely populated areas, but you might pass through these on your way, so stay alert. Keep an eye on real-time conditions and adjust as needed.

• Pricing and payment options: Transparent pricing is a major factor. We assess whether companies offer flat-rate pricing and binding estimates to help customers avoid unexpected fees and stay within budget. We also look for multiple payment options (credit card, cash, and check).
• Services: We examine a company’s packages to see which services come standard and which ones come at an added cost, helping customers find the most comprehensive services at the most affordable rate.
• Customer feedback: We analyze online reviews from consumer review sites like the BBB, Yelp, Trustpilot, and Google and look for common praises and complaints.
• Reputation: A company’s reputation is crucial. We look at industry ratings, compliance with regulations, and whether they carry sufficient insurance to protect customers’ belongings.
• Add-on options: We evaluate optional services that carry an extra fee — like fragile-only packing, custom crates, and specialized handling of electronics — can make a move easier, especially if they’re not commonly offered by other companies.
• State availability: The number of states a company serves is key. Companies with a national reach are ranked higher than those within just the contiguous U.S. or with more limited availability.
• Ease of scheduling: We give higher ratings to companies that offer straightforward and accessible scheduling options to get things moving quickly.
