Top-Rated Apartment Moving Services in the Denver Metro

Apartment moving requires a different tactical approach than a standard house move. Between reserving loading docks, navigating tight high-rise hallways, and carrying couches down three flights of stairs, it’s a mission that requires a professional touch. At Headband Movers, our veteran-owned team specializes in seamless apartment and condo relocations.

We know the ins and outs of Denver’s property management companies. Whether you are moving out of a third-floor walk-up in Capitol Hill or into a luxury high-rise in LoDo, our licensed (HHG-00619) and fully insured crews bring the discipline, heavy-duty equipment, and muscle to get you moved safely and efficiently.

Why Denver Renters Trust Headband Movers

Property managers have strict rules, and moving companies often hit you with surprise fees the moment they see a staircase. We operate with military-grade transparency:

  • Zero Stair Fees: You read that right. Moving to the 3rd floor without an elevator? We do not charge extra for stairs. Period.

  • COI Compliance: Many luxury apartments and high-rises require a Certificate of Insurance (COI) before we can enter the building. As a fully insured company, we can provide this directly to your property manager.

  • No Long-Carry Fees: If the truck has to park a block away or down a long apartment hallway, we won't tack on a "long-carry" upcharge. You just pay our standard hourly rate.

  • Wall & Floor Protection: Property managers are notoriously strict about security deposits. We use door jamb protectors, floor runners, and heavy-duty moving blankets to ensure you get your deposit back.

  • Furniture Disassembly/Assembly: Getting a king-size bed out of a narrow apartment door is tough. We bring the tools to break down your large items and reassemble them at your new place.

How to Prepare for Your Apartment Move

Apartment logistics are all about timing and communication. Here is how we execute a flawless apartment move, and what you can do to prepare:

  1. Reserve Your Elevator/Dock: Check with your leasing office ASAP to book the freight elevator and loading dock. Most Denver high-rises limit moves to specific 2-to-4-hour time blocks.

  2. Secure Parking: If you live in a dense neighborhood without a loading dock, you may need to secure street parking for our 26-foot box truck. Talk to your property manager or the city about temporary bagging of parking meters.

  3. The Walk-Through: When our crew arrives, we do a quick tactical walk-through to identify narrow corners, measure doorways, and create a safe loading plan.

  4. The Load Out: We pad and stretch-wrap your furniture inside the apartment before it ever enters the hallway, ensuring no damage to your items or the building's drywall.

Apartment Moving FAQs

That's right! Whether you live in a third-floor walk-up or your elevator is broken on moving day, Headband Movers never charges extra fees for stairs.

Absolutely. We are fully insured and can provide a COI directly to your property manager or HOA prior to your move. Just let us know the requirements when booking.

We are used to strict time limits in high-rises. Let us know your elevator reservation window, and we will properly size the crew to ensure everything is loaded or unloaded within that timeframe.

No, we do not charge "long-carry fees." If our truck has to park down the street or you have a long walk down your apartment hallway, you still just pay our standard hourly rate.

Yes, our veteran-owned crews are trained to navigate tight corners, narrow doorways, and awkward stairwells safely. If a piece needs to be partially disassembled to fit, we carry the tools to do it.

Protecting your security deposit is a priority. We use protective floor runners, door jamb protectors, and wrap your furniture in heavy-duty blankets before carrying it out.

We typically utilize spacious 26-foot box trucks. These easily hold the contents of a 1-to-3-bedroom apartment and come equipped with ramps or lift gates.

Yes! Disassembling beds, dining tables, and other large furniture, and then reassembling them at your new apartment, is included in our standard hourly rate.

Yes, the last few days and first few days of the month are the busiest times for apartment moves. We highly recommend booking 3 to 4 weeks in advance for these dates.

Yes, we offer full packing and partial packing services. We can pack your entire apartment the day before, or just help pack up your fragile kitchen items.

The customer is generally responsible for coordinating with their property manager to secure dock space or street parking. If city permits or meter bagging is required, let us know and we can advise you on the process.

If the dresser is sturdy and the items are light (like clothes), you can leave them in. However, if the dresser has to go up or down multiple flights of stairs, emptying it makes it safer for the crew and your furniture.

We have a standard 2-hour minimum. Most 1-bedroom apartments can be fully moved within 2 to 4 hours, depending on distance and logistics like elevators.

Welcome to Colorado! We move rain, snow, or shine. We will lay down extra floor protection in your apartment and work diligently to keep your items dry during the load.

Yes. While original boxes are best, if you don't have one, we will use heavy-duty moving blankets and shrink wrap to protect your flat-screen TV during transit.

Absolutely. A 2-man crew is perfect for a studio or 1-bedroom apartment move and keeps your hourly costs lower.

Yes, we can move standard residential washers, dryers, and refrigerators. Please note that they must be fully unhooked, drained, and disconnected before we arrive.

Yes. We know you are inviting us into your home and your community. All Headband Movers employees are background-checked, vetted, and highly trained.

Yes, we offer labor-only services. If you have a pod in the complex parking lot or rented a U-Haul, our crew can carry everything down the stairs and pack the truck tightly for you.

This is a common issue with apartment leases. If there is a gap between your move-out and move-in dates, contact us to discuss overnight truck holding or local storage transition options.

No, the use of our moving blankets and heavy-duty shrink wrap is completely complimentary and included in your hourly rate to ensure your items are protected.

We require someone over the age of 18 to be present at the beginning to sign the paperwork and do the initial walkthrough, and at the end to ensure everything is placed where you want it.

Tipping is never expected but always appreciated for a job well done. You can tip your crew in cash or add it to your final credit card bill at the end of the move.

We accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as cash. Payment is due upon completion of the move.
