Movers in Lakewood, CO

Family-owned Denver-area movers since 1999

Lakewood sits right on Denver’s west side, where mid-century ranch homes give way to hillside houses on Green Mountain and the foothills beyond. We’re a second-generation, family-owned moving company that started in Denver in 1999, and our movers are ready for Lakewood’s stairs, slopes and split-levels.

Moving in Lakewood: what to know

Lakewood is home to about 157,000 people and sits in Jefferson County, immediately west of Denver. It didn’t become a city until 1969, so many of its neighborhoods are older than the city itself: areas like Eiber and Morse Park are known for their 1950s and 1960s ranch homes. Older houses can have narrow doorways and tight basement stairs, so it’s worth measuring your biggest pieces of furniture before moving day.

Then there are the hills. On Green Mountain, streets follow the slope, with ranch homes and walk-out basements on the downhill side and bi-levels on the uphill side. Newer hillside neighborhoods like Solterra sit between Green Mountain and Red Rocks. Steep driveways, long carries from the truck and extra flights of stairs all shape how a move goes, so mention them when you request a quote.

Main routes through Lakewood include 6th Avenue (US-6), Wadsworth Boulevard, Kipling Street, Colfax Avenue, US-285 and C-470. Heading to an apartment or condo, whether it’s around Belmar, Lakewood’s downtown at Alameda and Wadsworth, or near Union Square? Ask your building about reserving the elevator and a loading area before you pick a date.

Lakewood moving FAQ

Can you handle a steep driveway on Green Mountain?

Yes. Hillside homes, long carries and extra stairs are part of the job. Share details about the driveway, the stairs and where a truck can park, and we’ll plan the right crew and equipment for your home.

Can you move us from Denver to Lakewood?

Yes. Lakewood borders Denver on the west, so moves between the two, in either direction, are well within our service area. So are moves from one Lakewood neighborhood to another.

Our piano is in a split-level or walk-out basement. Can you get it out?

Yes. Heavy pieces like pianos and antiques, up to 3,000 pounds, are part of what we move, stairs included. Let us know what the piece is and where it sits in the house when you call.

Do you move apartments and condos near Belmar?

Yes, there and anywhere else in Lakewood. Reserve the elevator and loading area with your building ahead of time, and tell us about any move-in hours when you call. We’ll wrap and pad your furniture before it heads down the hallway.
