Denver CO Movers - Moving Tips

Choosing Your Mover
  • Get an Early Start - It is best to start your search for movers at least 3-4 weeks prior to your move. The earlier you start, the more time you will have to choose the right movers and to begin preparing for your move.
  • Licensing and Insurance - There are a lot of moving companies in the Denver CO area and most of them are not licensed or Insured. The Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) is in charge of regulating all movers in Colorado. To be registered with the PUC, a mover must provide proper proof of Cargo Liability insurance, Commercial Auto Insurance and at least $750,000 in General Liability Insurance. This is to protect you and and your belongings in the case of any unforeseen event. Make sure that your mover is registered with the PUC and Has a "Household Good Movers" number, ours is HHG-0052. (You can visit the official PUC webise by clicking Here).
  • Reviews - Make sure to check reviews for any moving company you are thinking of using. You can also ask your mover to provide the phone # of past clients so you can talk to them yourself. You can read some of our reviews by clicking Here.
Packing Tips
  • Packing Supplies - Gather packing supplies before you start. There's nothing more frustrating, then having to stop half-way through a packing session in order to get more supplies.
  • Over packing -Make sure all boxes can close properly and be sealed so the tops are flat. If you over-pack a box, you risk damage to the contents.
  • Small Items - Small, loose items should be boxed or bagged and sealed securely before placing into a larger box.
  • Liquids - If moving liquids, either transfer them into a sealable container or make sure the lid is secured by taping it down, then put it into a waterproof bag, seal the bag then place it upright into a box. Clearly mark the box with arrows and "This End Up".
  • Inventory List - Keep an inventory list of each box and its contents. This will be necessary if a box goes missing and you need to make a claim.
  • Important Records - Keep important records and documents with you. Do not move them with the rest of your household goods. If you cannot take them with you in the car, then send them on ahead with a secure courier company.
  • Bags - Do not use standard garbage bags! They rip and tear too easily. If you're going to pack linens and clothing in garbage bags, purchase the thicker, heavy ones to ensure they don't burst during the move. Or double up. Some moving companies don't like you using garbage bags, so do so minimally. The great thing about garbage bags full of clothing is that they can be squished into nooks and holes that exist on the truck, thereby protecting furniture and using less space. Just limit how many you use.
