Moving Companies in Centennial, CO
What Centennial Moves Cost
Local crews of two to three people typically bill $100-$130 per hour. A compact job lasting a few hours usually lands between $750 and $850. Once a move exceeds 50 miles, pricing shifts to weight and mileage: a one-bedroom can start near $600, while larger homes climb past $2,600.
Where the Bill Grows
- Travel time: many companies add a flat fee or charge 0.5 to 1 extra hour of the standard rate for the ride to your pickup and back from delivery.
- Stairs, long carries, and specialty pieces like safes or pianos often trigger surcharges.
- Peak windows: end-of-month, summer, and weekend bookings run higher than mid-week or mid-month dates.
How to Land at the Lower End
- Ask how travel time is calculated before booking; that fee is often negotiable.
- Book mid-week or mid-month and avoid summer peaks when possible.
- Disclose heavy or awkward items upfront so stairs and long-carry fees are quoted instead of discovered.
- Keep cash for tips at $4-$6 per mover per hour, or $20-$50 per person, so the total doesn't surprise you.
Check the Colorado PUC
For any move within the state, the mover must hold a Household Goods permit through the Colorado Public Utilities Commission. Verifying that credential protects the deposit and the delivery.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Arapahoe County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 16% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
