2-star Google reviewLauren E.4 years ago
I was really looking forward to this move as I’d had this company recommended by a friend. However, on the day of the move the crew took nearly four hours to move my small one-bedroom apartment to another small one-bedroom apartment, with no elevator wait times in either building. In addition, they broke a lamp, cracked my humidifier, and lost or tossed two remotes. I asked both the movers to check the trucks the evening after the move in addition to calling the office and speaking to someone directly.

I used Denver Small moves about a year ago to move about 10 minutes away to a new place in Denver. I had everything scheduled to move on Saturday, made accommodations for my dog to be watched and had everything packed up and ready to go. They were supposed to come in the late afternoon. An hour or two before they were supposed to arrive I get a call from them saying they were going to be about 30 min late. Ok, no big deal. The time comes and goes.

This occurrence from a year ago, doesn't sound correct at all. In the past Year I can't recall even one move that we needed to postpone an entire day?I sure hope Jay T can double check his facts or even better contact us directly? Owner - Ken Marley

Terribly unprofessional. Many things damaged. You can get a team somewhere else, that actually knows what they’re doing for the same price. Stay away at all costs. Jay is terrible, unhelpful and extremely unprofessional. Nothing put back together. Walls damaged, furniture damaged, the list goes on.

These guys were late, barely wore a mask, did not send enough guys (it took almost twice the estimated amount of time and money), broke a shelf and did not compensate us for the broken shelf.

Forgot to add that the hallways and carpet was gross leading to my apartment. A few more notations to add, it is a 100 yr old house with apartments inside off of Colfax and Detroit St. I told the owner Ken of Denver Small Moves that they would have to wait off the property until I could come down to open the security door when they arrived. They called me and told me they were out front, I assumed on the sidewalk.

Readers can be sure this an anomaly. Unfortunately this apartment on East Colfax was beyond dirty, unacceptable working conditions for our movers or anyone really. Roaches, bed bugs, dirt, etc. the movers sent me photos of it, and I made the decision not to proceed with the move.

We used Denver Small Moves for moving across town. Initially we were pleased, they were local and price was competitive. The move itself was long but it got done in the time they stated it would. Our issue was after the move. The headboard and side pieces of our bed are fabric - the movers did not wrap it up whatsoever and thus got completely disgusting and dirty in the moving van. The leg on our dresser was also badly damaged.

Sorry to hear about the damages and yes we did file an insurance claim. Yes there is a $500 and I never hid that fact. It was in your original written agreement. I don't understand why you feel you are exempt from the deductible and now are leaving a negative review?

1-star Google reviewLari A.3 years ago
What began with what we hoped might be a professional relationship with a moving company we’d use for several jobs in the region turned into a nightmare due to botched assumptions. Denver Small Moves totally failed in a basic, easy job (one box truck and no packing) from a storage facility to an apartment a few blocks away. Although I was able to wade through a few confusing communications initially, Jay and Alex seemed professional enough.

We Used Denver Small Moves last august. We purchased their additional insurance and they did damage numerous items because of their improper packing. After numerous calls, they finally sent us some paperwork and agreed to pay us x amount in writing. We have been calling numerous times, and we can’t get a callback from the owner to pay us. Alex and who else and Jay keep giving us the runaround saying they told the owner and that’s all they can do.

I recently used Denver Small Moves for my relocation and I couldn't be more pleased with the service I received, thanks in large part to my movers Jason and Jay. From start to finish, their team was professional, efficient, and thoughtful in their approach to handling my belongings. The communication leading up to the move was excellent, and Jason and Jay were a pleasure to work with. They kept me informed throughout the process, from the initial consultation to the actual move date.

Fidel, Jason & Jessie did a phenomenal job with mg move today. They were very fast, kind, professional, patient and helpful. I have used this company in the past and had the same experience so I had to use them again. I would choose Denver Small Movers every time for a move. Very fair price as well. 10/10 crew
5-star Google reviewKat C.a year ago
Denver Small Moves is a fantastic company to help you with your move. We have used them now for 3 different moves. They give you a quote over the phone or email, they show up on time, hustle to get your stuff loaded & then unloaded in your new place. This last move I worked with Ken & Chris via email to get a quote. They were super responsive & got us on the schedule quickly. We had a 6 man crew show up on time with plenty of materials & they were ready to rock'n'roll.
5-star Google reviewRoberta G.3 years ago
This company is THE BEST! From the first call, and appt I booked the customer service I received from Jay, and Alex, was top notch. They were able to accommodate me with short notice. My first place fell through, so I had to cancel. They were so undersanding about my situation, that I promised to call back, when I found another place. One week later, I did. They were more than happy to re schedule me. I've moved many times throughout the Denver metro, but never have I had 2 ROCK STARS as I did today.
