Top 10 Things to Do Before Moving Day in Denver (Don't Skip #7)

So You’re Moving in Denver... Let’s Not Make It a Hot Mess.

Moving doesn’t have to be chaotic. Whether you’re relocating from a Denver high-rise, downsizing in Highlands Ranch, or heading to your dream home in Castle Rock, one thing’s for sure: Preparation is the difference between a glow-up and a meltdown. At Infinity 88 Moving, we’ve seen it all and now we’re breaking down the 10 must-do things before moving day to help you keep your sanity (and your security deposit).

1. 🔐 Lock in Your Moving Date Early (Like, ASAP)

Denver movers book fast, especially around the 1st and 15th. Weekends? Forget about it. Pro Tip: Book 2 to 4 weeks in advance if you want your choice of dates. We get calls from stressed-out families in Littleton all the time trying to book last minute. Don’t be that person.

2. 📦 Declutter Like You’re Filming an HGTV Show

If it doesn’t spark joy, doesn’t fit, or hasn’t been used since Obama’s first term, donate it, sell it, or trash it. Focus on:

• Closets (hello, Cherry Creek fashionistas)

• Basement hoards (Englewood - we see you)

• Random junk drawers

Less stuff = lower moving costs. Period.

3. 🗂️ Change of Address & Utilities? Handle That Early.

Don’t get caught with no Wi-Fi or worse, no AC. Make sure to:

• Schedule utility transfers (Xcel Energy, Denver Water, etc.)

• Update your USPS address

• Notify banks, Amazon, and your favorite food delivery apps

Bonus: If you're moving to Aurora or Parker, confirm city-specific trash pickup and water providers. They can differ!

4. 🐶 Prep Your Kids and Pets (The Real MVPs of Chaos)

Moving with little ones? Or fur babies?Make a game plan for:

• A babysitter or pet sitter on moving day

• Packing a “day-of” bag with snacks, toys, leashes, meds, etc.

• Helping them adjust to the new space with something familiar (a favorite blanket or toy)

Castle Rock families, we know that emotional support Beagle needs his corner of the couch.

5. 🧼 Clean, Patch, Repair Especially if You Want That Deposit Back

Before you hand over the keys:

• Patch nail holes

• Deep clean kitchens and bathrooms

• Replace burnt-out bulbs and broken blinds

Renting in Centennial or Greenwood Village? Your landlord’s checklist will not be forgiving. Get ahead of it.

6. 📋 Make a Moving Binder (Or at Least a Shared Google Doc)

Keep everything in one place:

• Moving contract

• Floor plan of your new home

• List of who’s doing what

• Receipts for any moving-related expenses (for potential tax write-offs)

Trust us, when you're standing in a pile of boxes in Lone Tree and can’t remember what’s in "Bedroom 2,” you’ll thank yourself.

7. ✨ Label Everything Like a Virgo on Caffeine

This isn’t just “kitchen”, it’s “kitchen: pots, pans, coffee”Color-code by room. Use bold markers. Make it obvious.Because the faster we can unload you in Highlands Ranch, the faster you can pour that celebratory mimosa.

8. 🚚 Confirm Parking + Building Access for Moving Day

Are you in a downtown Denver apartment or tight Parker cul-de-sac? Secure:

• Parking permits (especially in Capitol Hill or LoDo)

• Elevator reservations

• Gate codes

This isn’t the day to get a $150 parking ticket or delay the whole move.

9. 💬 Communicate With Your Movers (That’s Us 😉)

Call us, text us, ask questions. We’d rather over-communicate than leave you stressed. Infinity 88 Moving offers:

• Local expertise on traffic patterns and neighborhood quirks

• Flexible time slots (because life happens)
