Expenses to Include in Your Colorado Moving Budget

Before packing your belongings or reserving a Colorado moving truck, it’s important to set a budget for your move. But if you’ve never moved before, calculating how much you will need to make it to your new home can be challenging. Most people remember to include the cost of packing supplies and transportation, but other expenses are often forgotten. Here’s a look at some of the lesser-known expenses that need to be included in your Colorado moving budget:

Moving Insurance

Moving companies often provide insurance to customers, but many people will need to purchase additional coverage to ensure their valuable belongings are covered. Therefore, it’s important to make room in your budget for additional insurance coverage. Talk to the moving company and your home insurance agent to learn about the various types of insurance and find the best deal. Should you purchase more moving insurance to cover your move?

Cleaning Costs

Are you renting the home that you’re currently living in? If so, it’s recommended that you clean it before moving out so the landlord does not deduct cleaning expenses from your security deposit. This is another expense that many people forget to factor in when calculating a budget for their move. If you plan on cleaning it yourself, calculate the cost of cleaning supplies. Otherwise, add the cost of a maid service to your moving budget.

Child or Pet Care

Moving with small children or pets can be difficult, which is why it’s best to pay a little extra to have someone watch your kids or pets on the day of the move. This will allow you to focus solely on the move, so it goes as quickly and smoothly as possible.

Packing Services

Moving on a tight schedule can be tough, so you may end up needing a professional to help pack all of your belongings. Most moving companies offer these services, but it will cost you extra. Even if you don’t plan on using packing services, it may be a good idea to factor them into your budget anyways. This way, you will be prepared for the worst-case scenario.

Lodging

People moving far away may need to stay in a hotel overnight if they can’t make it to their new home within one day. Ensure that you figure out how long it will take you to get to your new house, so you know whether you will need a hotel room for the evening. Remember that you will most likely be tired on moving day due to the stress of moving, so you may not be able to travel as far as you normally would.

Now that you know the expenses that need to be factored into your moving budget, it’s time to get in touch with the professionals to plan your move.

These guys were great. Very careful with my furniture and they were quick. Not one ding on the walls either. I highly recommend them. I will be using them again in the future.

I don't know what to say other than thanks Eden's! They helped me move twice now and both were smooth as you can expect a move to be. A broken cup or two but what do you expect, they moved my stuff across state lines and I have broken more moving myself, that is just part of the process. They were great about going over the coverage options too to ensure I was covered for any damages. Always get insurance for a move! Thanks again Eden's, I will recommend you to anyone!

The movers showed up on time, and did an amazing job dealing with some very difficult pieces of furniture. They moved things that I thought would be impossible to move. They worked hard and fast and were very careful with my walls nothing was scratched. Good work! Thanks!!

Highly recommended movers! We hired Edens movers for a local move in Lakewood CO and they did an outstanding job. The movers were professional and friendly and the entire move went smoothly without any trouble. From the start they were organized and clear and the price was more than fair. Thank you for your great job!

Best prices and great to work with. You have to wait a little bit longer for your stuff but they were very upfront about the time frame, gave us a range, and called a few days ahead of time. Our move was difficult because our stuff was in storage (we had already moved and due to another moving company dropping the ball we could not get back to finalize boxing everything up). They did a great job once they arrived organizing our stuff in storage carefully. I would highly recommend.

My household has used Edens four times now with perfect results. The moved a massive Piano off the second floor – safe and quick. I hired them again with my recent long-distance move. The crew showed up on time, they were quick and careful with my stuff, and they made sure everything got placed where I'd need it.. Great experience once again. Will definitely use them again. extremely recommended.
