| Colorado statewide | 33 of 79 (41.77%) |

| Top-rated Colorado Springs art movers | Fatboy Slims Moving Company LLC, Johnson Storage & Moving |
| Per-piece handling fee | $55 to $550 |
| Custom crating per item | $165 to $220 |
Custom crates and archival materials are the baseline for art moving, not an upgrade. Standard blankets protect against surface scratches but offer no defense against UV exposure or humidity shifts that cause paint to crack, canvas to warp, or sculpture finishes to degrade. Before booking, confirm the mover has handled pieces in the same medium and ask whether crates are built in-house or outsourced to a third party.
Does Colorado Springs have movers that offer junk removal?
Junk removal is available from 9 of 12 Colorado Springs movers (75.0%), compared to 36.71% statewide and 36.41% nationally. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK (4.52/5) and Moving Day (4.52/5) rate highest for junk removal in Colorado Springs. Standalone junk removal typically runs $165 to $550 per load.

| Typical cost per load | $165 to $550 |
| Single large item | $83 to $165 |
Removing items before a weight-based long-distance quote is finalized directly reduces the shipment total and the move cost. Movers offering bundled junk removal can clear unwanted furniture and appliances on load day, eliminating a separate scheduling step. Verify the service covers the item types you need removed, since some movers exclude electronics, hazardous materials, and large appliances from standard junk removal pricing.
Does Colorado Springs have movers that offer fragile-only packing?
Fragile-only packing is available from 3 of 12 Colorado Springs movers (25.0%), compared to 20.25% statewide and 23.81% nationally. Fatboy Slims Moving Company LLC (4.42/5) and Bennett's Moving (4.42/5) rate highest for fragile-only packing in Colorado Springs. Full professional packing runs $0.15 to $0.21 per pound; fragile-only packing covers dishes, glassware, mirrors, and lamps at a fraction of that total.

| Full professional packing rate | $0.15 to $0.21 per pound |
Fragile-only packing targets dishes, glassware, mirrors, and lamps without a full-service packing contract. Limiting professional packing to breakables keeps total packing cost down while covering the items most likely to break in transit.
Does Colorado Springs have movers that offer storage?
Storage is available from 9 of 12 Colorado Springs movers (75.0%), compared to 84.81% statewide and 84.88% nationally. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK (4.52/5) and All My Sons Moving & Storage (4.5/5) rate highest for storage in Colorado Springs. Storage-in-transit runs about $0.50 per cubic foot per month, putting a 1-bedroom load (about 514 cu ft) at roughly $283/month.

| Storage-in-transit rate | About $0.50 per cubic foot per month |
| 1-bedroom monthly estimate (~514 cu ft) | $283 |
| 2-3 bedroom monthly estimate (~1,000 cu ft) | $550 |
Movers that offer storage-in-transit hold belongings in their warehouse between pickup and delivery. The standard rate is approximately $0.50 per cubic foot per month. For a 1-bedroom load (about 514 cu ft), that is roughly $283 per month. Ask how the mover calculates the billing start date before committing to a storage window longer than 30 days.
Does Colorado Springs have movers that offer hot tub relocation?
Hot tub relocation is available from 1 of 12 Colorado Springs movers (8.33%), compared to 17.72% statewide and 21.99% nationally.

| Top-rated Colorado Springs hot tub movers | Fatboy Slims Moving Company LLC, A Simple Move, LLC |
| Bundled with full-service move | $165 to $440 |
| Standalone hot tub move | $330 to $880 |
Hot tubs are heavy, fragile, and access-dependent. Empty weight runs 500 to 1,000 lbs. Full drainage is required before any move. Tight backyard access may require a crane or a shuttle relay, both of which add to the final cost. Confirm the mover has moved hot tubs specifically, not just bulky items, before booking, since the shell and plumbing require different handling than furniture.
Does Colorado Springs have movers that offer piano moving?
Piano moving is available from 9 of 12 Colorado Springs movers (75.0%), compared to 72.15% statewide and 72.72% nationally. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK (4.52/5) and All My Sons Moving & Storage (4.5/5) rate highest for piano moving in Colorado Springs. A standalone piano move typically costs $880 to $3,850, depending on instrument type.

| Colorado statewide | 57 of 79 (72.15%) |

| Upright piano | $880 to $1,650 |
| Baby grand piano | $1,320 to $2,750 |
| Grand piano | $1,980 to $3,850 |
The weight range for upright pianos is 400 to 800 lbs. Grand pianos exceed 1,200 lbs. Neither can be safely moved with standard furniture dollies or blankets. Crews certified for piano moving carry piano boards, rigging straps, and padded blankets designed for the instrument's weight distribution and finish. Adding a piano to a full-service household move is almost always cheaper than contracting a piano-only specialist.

What affects moving costs in Colorado Springs?
Here are some additional cost considerations for your long-distance Colorado Springs move:
- Distance: The farther you move from Colorado Springs, the more you pay. A short intrastate move costs far less than a cross-country relocation. Once you cross state lines, pricing structure changes entirely and costs rise considerably.
- Home size and weight: Movers price local moves by the hour and interstate moves by total shipment weight. Downsizing before your move reduces both your bill and your packing time.
- Move type: Full-service movers handle everything but cost the most. DIY options like rental trucks or moving containers reduce costs by roughly 30% compared to full-service, according to moveBuddha data.
- Add-on services: Professional packing adds an average of $0.15–$0.21 per pound. Shuttle service, if required, adds $0.08–$0.12 per pound with minimums often starting around $200.
- Timing: Summer moves (May through September) carry the highest rates. Mid-month and mid-week bookings are consistently cheaper than weekend or month-end dates.
FAQs about the best long-distance movers in Colorado Springs

The FMCSA's Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move explains what to expect and what protections apply throughout your interstate move.
Should I choose a local or national mover for my Colorado Springs relocation?
For moves within Colorado, a local mover in Colorado Springs is the more cost-effective choice. moveBuddha has reviewed 12 movers in the area, with 12 licensed for intrastate routes and 11 authorized for cross-state moves.

Winter lows average 17°F, demand drops sharply from the summer peak, and movers have more open schedule capacity — all of which create real leverage to negotiate on price. Off-season timing also comes with faster quote turnaround and more predictable availability.
