Pro Packing & Moving Tips for Denver Families and Busineses
Get expert advice straight from Infinity 88 Moving. Our team has helped families and businesses move across Denver, Lone Tree, Centennial, Parker, Castle Rock, and beyond. Whether you're planning a local move or crossing state lines, these tips will help make it smoother, safer, and more affordable.
Tip #1: Start Packing Early
Don't wait until the last week. Start with seasonal items, wall decor, or things you rarely use. Label boxes clearly by room and keep essentials in a "first-day" box with things like chargers, toiletries, and change or clothes.
Tip #2: Know What Movers Can't Move
There are items most moving companies (including us) legally can't transport - like paint, propane, fireworks, and certain cleaning chemicals. Ask us for a full list before moving day so there are no surprises.
Tip #3: Protect Your Furniture
Use blankets, bubble wrap, or shrink wrap to protect furniture corners and glass. If you hire us, we bring all the necessary padding, wraps, and straps to keep your items safe in transit.
Tip #4: Take Photos of Electronics Before Unplugging
Before disconnecting your TV, computer, or Wi-Fi setup, take a quick photo of the cable setup. It'll save you time (and frustration) when it's time to reconnect everything in your new place. Trust us - future you will thank you.
5 Common Moving Mistakes to Avoid in Denver
Moving is already enough of a headache - the last thing you need is to deal with problems that could've been avoided. Whther you're relocating in Denver or heading to the suburbs like Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, or Lone Tree, here are five mistakes we see way too often - and how to dodge them.

Thinking Packing Will Take a Day or Two
It won't. Even if you don't have much, packing always takes longer. Start early. Knock out one room at a time, label the boxes right, and don't leave it all for the night before the move.
2. Waiting Too Long to Book Your Movers
Especially in Denver, things get booked fast - spring and summer dates go quick. If you wait until the last minute, your options shrink and prices usually go up. The sooner you lock in your spot, the better.
3. Not Measuring Your Furniture or Doorways
You'd be surprised how many people show up on move day and realize their couch won't fit through the front door. Measure your furniture and the new place ahead of time - it'll save you a major headache.
4. Forgetting a "First Night" Box
After a full day of moving, the last thing you want is to dig through ten boxes just to find your toothbrush or charger. Pack a small box or bag with everything you'll need the first night - snacks, meds, phone charger, clothes, anything important.
5. Hiring Just Anyone with a Truck
Not all movers are the same. Denver's a unique city to move around - tight spaces, weather, traffic. You want a crew that knows the area, handles your stuff with care, and shows up when they say they will. That's what we do.
