Cardinal & Crate is a licensed, insured Denver crew for local and long-distance moves. Tell us where and how big — get a real cost range, crew, and truck in two minutes.
Every kind of move, handled.

PopularLocal Moving
Across town or across the metro — an hourly crew that shows up on time and hustles.
PopularLong-Distance
Leaving Colorado? A dedicated truck, a guaranteed delivery window, and a binding price.
PopularResidential
Studios to five-bedroom houses — the careful, full-service home move.

Commercial / Office
Offices, retail, and labs — relocated after-hours so Monday opens on time.
PopularPacking
Full pack, partial pack, or just the kitchen — boxed right so nothing rattles.

Storage
Dates don’t line up? Climate-controlled, vaulted storage between move-out and move-in.

Pianos, gun safes, antiques, art, and gym equipment — the stuff that needs a plan.
From estimate to unpacked.
Four steps, no surprises. A written quote before we lift a box and no large deposit to book.

The anti-scam moving company.
This industry has a reputation. We built ours on the opposite of it — transparent prices, no hostage loads, and a crew you can actually trust.
Transparent, no-surprise pricing
A written estimate before we lift a box, a binding option if you want it, and no fees that weren’t on the quote.
On-time arrival
We give you an arrival window and a dispatcher you can call. If we’re running late, you hear it from us first.
No large up-front deposit
Legitimate movers don’t hold your move hostage for cash. You pay when the work is done — a rogue-mover red flag we refuse to be.
We protect your stuff
Blankets, shrink-wrap, floor runners, and a 99.4% damage-free record. If something goes wrong, our claims process is fast and fair.
Fully licensed & insured
USDOT 3194872, MC-1184026, CO PUC HHG-00471, cargo + liability insured. Verify us on protectyourmove.gov.
Vetted, trained crews
Background-checked, uniformed movers trained on our own equipment — not day-labor strangers with a rented truck.
4.9 stars, 487 moves in.
From studio apartments to interstate hauls and a few terrifying pianos.
They quoted me a range up front and came in right at it — no “surprise stairs fee” nonsense. Three guys, blankets on everything, done in five hours. First move I haven’t dreaded.
Long-distance and they gave us a binding price that didn’t move a dollar, plus a real delivery window. Our stuff showed up on the day they said. After horror stories from friends, this was a relief.
Moved our 14-person office over a weekend, labeled every workstation, handled the COI our building demanded. We were back online Monday at 9. Worth every penny.
From the dock & the feed.
Serving the Denver metro & Front Range.
Based in RiNo, on the road across the Front Range — and out of state when you are.
