“Collegiate Movers was extremely professional and fast! Super friendly and very helpful! I will definitely hire the again.”
Janet M.
Our local rate is simple and posted up front. A two-mover crew with a truck, pads, dollies, and tools runs $149 an hour; a three-mover crew runs $199 an hour when you have a full house or a tight closing window. We send the head count your home actually needs, not the one that pads the clock.
Before any truck rolls, Derek walks the job and locks a flat written price, so the number you approve is the number you pay. Highlands Ranch homes have their own quirks: three-car garages packed to the rafters, finished walk-out basements, and gabled stairwells that make a sleeper sofa an event. We plan for all of it.
What a local move actually costs
Here are the flat bands we quote most often around Highlands Ranch, Littleton, and Centennial. Your written estimate may land anywhere in the range depending on stairs, access, and how much is going.
| Home size | Typical flat price |
|---|---|
| Studio | $360–$560 |
| 1-bedroom | $590–$960 |
| 2-bedroom | $1,000–$1,600 |
| 3-bedroom | $1,700–$2,650 |
| 4-bedroom house | $2,400–$3,600 |
A $119 deposit holds your date and comes straight off the total. Released-value coverage is $0.60 per pound, with up to $1,000,000 cargo coverage per shipment and full-value protection available if you want it.
What the flat price does not cover
We keep the quote honest by naming what sits outside it. None of these are sprung on you mid-job. They are line items you approve in advance:
- Pianos, gun safes, and other specialty pieces (from $349)
- Long carries when the truck cannot park near the door — common on older Littleton streets off Main
- Packing materials and labor, if you add our pack service rather than boxing up yourself
- Short-term storage if your closing dates do not line up
Built for Front Range conditions
At nearly 5,900 feet, a move here means thin dry air, blinding high-altitude sun, and a real chance of a spring snowstorm on a March moving day. Our crews salt and pad icy driveways off Wildcat Reserve Pkwy, shrink-wrap upholstery against the dry air, and pace the heavy lifting so nobody gasses out at altitude. It is the kind of thing you only think about once you have done a few hundred moves between Daniels Park and Chatfield Reservoir.
