Question 2

Is iHaul iMove licensed and insured in Colorado?

Accepted Answer

Yes, iHaul iMove is fully licensed and insured through the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC). This means we meet all state requirements for professional movers, including liability coverage and workers' compensation. Our licensing ensures you're protected and working with a legitimate, regulated moving company—not an unlicensed operator.

Question 3

Do you move pianos, safes, and other heavy items in Colorado Springs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, iHaul iMove specializes in moving heavy and oversized items including pianos, gun safes, pool tables, hot tubs, and large appliances. Our trained crews use proper equipment and techniques to safely move items weighing 300+ pounds. Please provide photos or make/model information when booking so we can prepare the right crew and equipment.

Question 4

Are there hidden fees or extra charges for moving?

Accepted Answer

No hidden fees—we believe in transparent pricing. Stretch wrapping, moving blankets, and basic equipment are included with every move. Additional charges may apply for items over 300 pounds, specialty equipment (piano boards, appliance dollies), extra-long carries, or flights of stairs. We discuss all potential charges upfront during your estimate so there are no surprises on moving day.

Question 5

How far in advance should I book movers in Colorado Springs?

Accepted Answer

We recommend booking your move 4-6 weeks in advance, especially during peak season (May-September) and month-end dates. Last-minute moves may be available, but scheduling early guarantees your preferred date and time. Bookings are first-come, first-served—your spot isn't secured until you've booked with a deposit.

Question 6

What payment methods do you accept for moving services?

Accepted Answer

iHaul iMove accepts all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), debit cards, and cash. Personal checks are available upon request—just let us know when scheduling. Payment is simple: deposit when you book, balance when your move is complete.

Question 7

When do I pay for my move?

Accepted Answer

A one-hour deposit is required when scheduling to secure your date and time—this protects both of us and ensures our crew is reserved for you. The remaining balance is due at the completion of your move. You can pay by credit card, debit card, cash, or check.

Question 8

How much does professional packing cost in Colorado Springs?

Accepted Answer

Professional packing is billed at our standard hourly rate, with packing materials (boxes, paper, bubble wrap, tape) included in your estimate. A typical 2-bedroom home takes 2-4 hours to pack. Full-service packing is scheduled the day before your move for maximum efficiency. Contact us for a custom packing quote based on your home size.

Question 9

How much does junk removal cost in Colorado Springs?

Accepted Answer

Junk removal pricing depends on the volume and type of items being removed. We offer competitive rates for furniture removal, appliance disposal, estate cleanouts, and general debris hauling. Request a free estimate—we can often provide quotes from photos.

Question 10

How can I save money on my Colorado Springs move?

Accepted Answer

Smart ways to reduce moving costs: declutter before moving day (less stuff = less time), pack your own boxes, gather free supplies from Facebook Marketplace or liquor stores, disassemble furniture yourself, and have everything ready when the crew arrives. Hiring professional movers like iHaul iMove actually saves money compared to DIY when you factor in truck rental, equipment, gas, and potential injury or damage.

Question 11

Should I tip my movers? How much is appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Tipping is never required but always appreciated for exceptional service. The industry standard is $5-$10 per mover per hour, or 15-20% of the total move cost. You can add a tip to your card on file when booking, or give cash directly to your crew on moving day. A cold drink or snack is also a thoughtful gesture!

Question 12

What is your cancellation and rescheduling policy?

Accepted Answer

We understand plans change. Cancellations made within 7 days of your scheduled move will forfeit the deposit. Need to reschedule? We'll do our best to find availability that works for you. If iHaul iMove cancels for any reason, you receive a full refund.

Question 13

Do I need to be home on moving day?

Accepted Answer

You're not required to be present for the entire move, but we recommend being there at the start to walk through with the crew and at the end to sign off. You can designate a trusted friend or family member to supervise on your behalf—just make sure we have your contact information for any questions that arise.

Question 14

What should I expect when hiring professional movers?

Accepted Answer

First-time hiring a moving company? Here's what to expect: You'll receive a detailed estimate based on your inventory. On moving day, our uniformed crew arrives on time, introduces themselves, and does a walkthrough. We carefully wrap and protect furniture, load strategically, transport safely, and place items exactly where you want them. You'll have a dedicated point of contact throughout the process.

Question 15

What's the best way to prepare for moving day?

Accepted Answer

Preparation is key to a smooth move. Start 4-6 weeks out: declutter and donate items you don't need, gather supplies, and begin packing non-essentials. Label every box with contents and destination room. Keep valuables, medications, and important documents with you. On moving day, have walkways clear, reserve parking for the truck, and communicate any special instructions to your crew.

Question 16

Should I empty dresser drawers before moving?

Accepted Answer

Light items like clothing and linens can stay in drawers—we'll wrap the dresser and secure drawers closed. Remove anything fragile, heavy, or spillable (jewelry, liquids, breakables). If drawers are too heavy, the dresser becomes difficult to move safely and may require extra time. For flat-pack/self-assembled furniture (like IKEA), drawers must be emptied completely.

Question 17

How can I make moving day faster and easier?

Accepted Answer

Help us help you! Have boxes packed and sealed before arrival. Know where furniture goes in your new home (a simple floor plan helps). Keep pathways clear at both locations. Label fragile items. Disassemble what you can. Reserve elevator access if applicable. The more prepared you are, the faster your move goes—which saves you money.

Question 18

Do you disassemble and reassemble furniture?

Accepted Answer

Yes, iHaul iMove provides furniture disassembly and reassembly services. We handle bed frames, dining tables, sectional sofas, desks, and most household furniture. Complex items (Murphy beds, custom built-ins) may require additional time. These services are billed at our hourly rate. You can save money by disassembling simple items yourself before we arrive.

Question 19

Do you offer professional packing services?

Accepted Answer

Yes, iHaul iMove offers full-service packing, partial packing, and fragile-only packing options. Our professional packers use quality materials and proven techniques to protect your belongings. Packing is typically scheduled the day before your move to maximize efficiency. Whether it's your entire home or just the kitchen china, we've got you covered.

Question 20

Do you provide boxes and packing supplies?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when you book professional packing services, all materials are included: sturdy moving boxes (various sizes), packing paper, bubble wrap, tape, and specialty containers for dishes and wardrobes. Need just the supplies? We can provide them separately. We also recommend checking local Facebook groups and liquor stores for free used boxes.

Question 21

Do you offer storage solutions in Colorado Springs?

Question 22

What items can you haul away with junk removal?

Accepted Answer

Our junk removal service handles furniture (couches, mattresses, tables), appliances (washers, dryers, refrigerators), electronics, yard waste, construction debris, and general household clutter.

Question 26

How do I choose a reputable moving company in Colorado Springs?

Accepted Answer

Choosing the right mover is critical. Look for: Colorado PUC licensing (required by law), verified insurance, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, positive reviews on Google and Yelp, and clear communication. Avoid cash-only companies, vague estimates, and anyone who won't provide credentials. iHaul iMove has 17+ years of experience, 450+ five-star reviews, and treats every move like family.

Question 27

What items are movers not allowed to transport?

Accepted Answer

For safety and legal reasons, professional movers cannot transport hazardous materials including: gasoline, propane tanks, paints and solvents, pesticides and fertilizers, ammunition and explosives, corrosive chemicals, and perishable food. These items must be disposed of or transported personally. We're happy to provide guidance on what needs special handling.

Question 28

What happens if it snows or storms on moving day?

Accepted Answer

Colorado weather can change quickly! For light snow or rain, our experienced crews proceed safely with extra precautions. In cases of severe weather that creates genuine safety risks, we'll work with you to reschedule at no penalty. Your safety and the protection of your belongings always come first. We monitor forecasts closely and communicate proactively.

Question 29

How long does a typical move take?

Accepted Answer

Move duration depends on home size, distance, stairs, and services needed. General estimates: Studio/1-bedroom takes 2-3 hours. 2-bedroom home takes 3-5 hours. 3-4 bedroom home takes 5-8 hours. Large homes or long-distance moves take 8+ hours or multiple days. Add time for packing, disassembly, or long carries. We provide time estimates with every quote.

Do you handle apartment moves with stairs and elevators?

Accepted Answer

Yes, apartment moves are our specialty! We handle walk-ups, high-rises, and complexes with challenging access. Our crews are experienced with narrow stairwells, elevator reservations, long hallway carries, and parking restrictions. Let us know your building details when booking—including stairs, elevator availability, and any HOA/management rules—for the smoothest experience.
