Moving Season 2025: What Colorado Customers Should Do Now to Ensure a Smooth Move
Moving between May and September is hugely popular thanks to warm weather, school breaks, and a bustling housing market. That convenience also drives up demand—summer 2025 is expected to be the busiest moving season yet, so early planning is essential.White Glove Moving and Storage
1. Build a Six‑Week Countdown & Budget
Six weeks out: lock in your preferred moving date, collect boxes, and schedule donation pickups.
Four weeks out: confirm time‑off from work, notify your landlord or Realtor, and arrange childcare or pet care.
Two weeks out: switch utilities, forward mail, and start a “first‑night” essentials box.
Moving week: pack daily‑use items, defrost the fridge, and set cash aside for tips and tolls.
Pro tip: Off‑peak weekday moves (Tuesday–Thursday) can shave 10–15 % off peak‑season rates.
2. Declutter Before You Pack
Sell: gently‑used furniture, electronics, and designer clothing on Facebook Marketplace or OfferUp.
Donate: books, linens, and kitchenware to local nonprofits.
Toss / recycle: expired pantry items, leaky sports bottles, and single socks.
Fewer boxes mean a smaller truck, less labor time, and lower overall cost.
3. Lock In Professional Movers Early
Prime summer slots fill 6–8 weeks in advance—sometimes faster for holiday weekends. Booking early not only guarantees your date but also locks in current pricing before seasonal surcharges appear. Secure signed paperwork and proof of insurance up front.
4. Source Quality Packing Supplies
Investing in sturdy, uniform‑sized boxes speeds up loading and protects belongings. Add:
Heavy‑duty wardrobe boxes for wrinkle‑free suits and dresses
Dish barrels with dividers for plates and glassware
Mattress bags (mandatory in many Denver high‑rise elevators)
Clear stretch‑wrap for furniture doors and drawers
5. Label Like a Pro
Use color‑coded tape by room (e.g., kitchen = yellow, master bedroom = blue) plus a master spreadsheet or phone photo log. Mark FRAGILE and “Load Last” boxes so movers place them on top or in the cab.
6. Plan for Colorado‑Specific Logistics
Weather swings: Late‑spring snow or midsummer hail can halt loading—have tarps on hand.
Altitude: Electronics and wine can suffer in hot, thin air; move them in a climate‑controlled car.
Parking permits: Denver and Aurora often require 72‑hour notice for curbside moving‑truck zones.
7. Transfer Utilities & Critical Services
Schedule electric, gas, water, and internet shut‑off/turn‑on dates 5 days before the move to avoid service gaps. Update your driver’s license and voter registration within 30 days of settling in Colorado.
8. Pack an Essentials Box
Keep medicines, chargers, a change of clothes, toiletries, paper towels, and important documents in a clearly labeled tote that rides with you, not in the truck.
9. Keep Kids & Pets Safe
Arrange a playdate, hire a sitter, or crate pets away from open doors to avoid accidents and anxiety on moving day.
10. Confirm the Details 48 Hours Beforehand
Verify truck arrival time, contact phone numbers, elevator reservations, and payment method so there are no surprises.
