Moving Companies in Gilcrest, CO
What does a local move in Gilcrest typically cost?
For moves classified as local under 50–100 miles, companies charge by the hour. A two-person crew and truck usually runs $100–$130 per hour, while three movers and a truck generally cost $150–$190 per hour. A small one-bedroom move may total $400–$800; a three-to-four-bedroom home often lands between $1,500 and $3,800 or more.
What should I budget for a long-distance move from Gilcrest?
For moves over 100 miles or across state lines, pricing shifts from hourly labor to shipment weight and total distance. Expect $3,000 to $10,000 or more depending on home size.
Which fees and local factors matter here?
Gilcrest sits along US-85 between Greeley and Platteville in Weld County, and many crews dispatch from Greeley, Loveland, or the broader northern Colorado and Denver metro. Ask whether the hourly clock starts at your door or at the warehouse, because travel time back to base may be added. Heavy items such as pianos and safes often carry surcharges, and fast-changing weather makes floor runners and shrink-wrap worth confirming.
What should I check before booking?
Request a video walkthrough or detailed written inventory instead of a quick phone quote. Ask about valuation: the free baseline coverage pays only $0.60 per pound per item, so a 30-pound television worth $1,000 would be covered for just $18; full-value protection may be worth buying for expensive pieces. Keep medications, documents, chargers, and toiletries in your own car in case delivery takes several days.

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 Weld County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 29% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
