Large Item Moving in Lakewood, CO


Large items rarely move the way a box does. A sleeper sofa, a refrigerator, a sectional, or a dresser full of drawers has weight in the wrong places, corners that catch on door frames, and finishes that scratch the moment they brush a wall. People often find this out halfway down a staircase, when a turn that looked wide enough suddenly is not. Gouged floors, dented appliances, and cracked frames come from forcing a piece through a space it was never planned for. Moving heavy furniture and appliances well takes a route walked in advance, the right straps and dollies, and enough trained hands to keep the load level.


Lakewood's Strategic Housing Plan reports that nearly a quarter of the city's housing is in buildings of ten or more units, and Census Bureau figures show about four in ten households rent. That means many large item moves here involve apartment hallways, shared stairwells, and entrances that serve several households, rather than a single driveway and front door. Planning how each piece will travel through those spaces, and in what order, is the heart of the job, and it is where experience with tight turns and shared entrances pays off for the customer.


We treat every household as its own project, and A Simple Move has provided trusted large item moving in Lakewood, CO for over 40 years, handling bulky furniture, appliance relocation, specialty items such as pianos and artwork, and heavy equipment transport for households of every size. Our crews work through tight hallways, narrow doorways, and awkward spaces with the right equipment, and we take furniture apart and put it back together when a piece will not clear an opening.

About Lakewood, CO

Lakewood is the most populous municipality in Jefferson County and the fifth largest city in Colorado, with 155,984 residents at the 2020 census across roughly 43 square miles. It began in 1889 as a platted community along Colfax Avenue, grew into a post office town in 1892, and was incorporated as a city in 1969.

Belmar, which replaced the old Villa Italia Mall, anchors a shopping and dining district, and Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park preserves 15 historic buildings and more than 40,000 artifacts. Bear Creek Lake Park spans 2,624 acres with hiking, camping, fishing, boating, and a swim beach.


The Denver Federal Center hosts a large group of federal agencies, and seven W Line light rail stations in the city, in service since 2013, connect residents to the wider metro area. Red Rocks Community College also calls the city home. Casa Bonita, on West Colfax Avenue, is one of the city's best known restaurants and a familiar landmark for longtime residents.

How Housing Age in Lakewood Shapes Large Item Moving

According to the city's Strategic Housing Plan, about 18 percent of Lakewood's housing was built before 1960, and about 40 percent was built in the 1960s and 1970s. Homes from those decades were laid out around the furniture and appliances of their day, and many of today's larger pieces are simply bigger than what those floor plans first expected.


Stairways, basement entries, and door openings in those homes can be tighter than a modern sectional, a king bed frame, or a large refrigerator expects, so a careful walkthrough before moving day shows which pieces need to be turned, tilted, or taken apart, and which ones may need extra hands on the stairs.


Truck placement is the other half of the plan. The city has expanded parking enforcement around spots too close to driveways, stop signs, and fire hydrants, so deciding where the truck can sit before it arrives keeps the carry short and the street clear.

What Customers Should Know Before Hiring Help for Large Item Moving

Good large item moving starts with measuring. A customer who checks the width of doorways and stairwells against the size of a couch, a wardrobe, or a refrigerator gives the crew a head start, and it helps to mention anything with unusual weight, glass, or fragile finishes when booking, so the crew can plan for it from the start.


On the day itself, the crew protects floors and door frames, then plans the carry out of the home and into the truck. Appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines are disconnected before they travel, and beds, dressers, and tables are often taken apart so they fit through tight openings and go back together at the new place.


Some items deserve separate planning, including pianos, artwork, flat screen televisions, and equipment with unusual weight. Telling the crew about these in advance lets them bring proper padding and the right people. Clear pathways, parking set aside for the truck, and pets kept in another room round out the preparation and keep the day calm for everyone.
