Our family was moving from Colorado to texas and we had just bought over $120,000 worth of furniture for our 7 bedroom house. Just like most people, we've had the worst experience with moving companies, but this time it felt different. I was recommended to checkmate moving by our realtor. I called to get a quote and spoke to Jared, he explained everything to me and he went by the house to give me an acoquine since it was such a large house. The quote was for $17,000 which seems pricey, but worth every penny as they did an incredible job. Mike(the owner) and his guys showed up on time, covered the stair railing and anything else that needed to be covered so as to not damage the house. They were fast , efficient, friendly, and overall great guys! They were so careful with my stuff that I knew it would get from Colorado to texas in the same brand new condition. Mike and his guys arrived as promised in Texas and immediately got to work, they placed all my items where they belonged in my new house making sure they were careful to cover any area of the house that could get damaged with moving blankets. I cannot say enough good things about Mike, Jared and their guys! Faith in movers restored thanks to Checkmate movers! The price may be higher, but moving your expensive stuff is not the time to be cheap! I recommend these guys 1million percent! read more

I left an honest review about the messy, unorganized and rude staff. The person responding claims he heard what I was told on site yet he acts like he isn't Jared. As you can see, they can't even respond spelling the potential clients name correct. This company is horrible. They speak to their clients poorly and don't have the courtesy to follow up with them. Don't put your trust in these guys. They can't even do their own follow up. Look elsewhere. Also, he told me I needed 6 guys and 2 trucks to move a 2000 sq ft house. What a joke. The other 3 moving companies were reasonable and nothing compared to their $3000 cost. read more

Arrived 35 minutes early, which I consider great service. The two young men and their truck managed our move beautifully with no issues. I had a warm fuzzy feeling at the end of the move. read more

We moved on Saturday 01/05/2019 - I used Checkmate to move all furniture (we moved boxed items ourselves). The two young men were professional and friendly. They communicated well and were more than happy to assist with any/all request. The did a great job, no incidents and no damage. I'd use them again in the future for local moves. Great Job Checkmate, Thank you! read more

This was the worst moving company we have ever used. We have used several different companies in state and out of state and have never had so many issues. So many pieces of furniture were damaged. Our couch had a big mark on it that won't come out, our kitchen chairs were all chipped, all of our exercising equipment was chipped, and our outdoor umbrella to our patio set was broken. Not to mention the walls in the home we moved out of were left with scuff marks all the way down the wall and chips of drywall missing on the corner. And when it was all over the bill was $1000.00 more than the original quote, something that has never happened when we have used other companies. However the owner did say he would bring it down to the original quote price because of all the damages but only if we pay cash. Such a disappointing experience but wanted to warn others before you hire this company. read more

Fantastic service and communication every step of the way. I love the fact that this is a family owned business. Checkmate is built on honest hard work and I appreciate the quality of service they provide. I trust them for my move and would recommend them to anyone considering a move locally or out of state! read more

Jared came out to review what we had to move and gave us a quote in November but we didn't wind up moving until January 19. He had planned on 7 guys and three trucks and told us to plan on pretty much a whole day. We called back a week ahead of the move and got on their schedule. On the day of the move the 7 guys/3 trucks showed up at our old house at 7:30 and were done loading about 11:30. The new house is about 1/2 hour away from the old one, and after a lunch break the guys got the 3 trucks unloaded in about 3 hours. The crew foreman, Jeff, was easy to work with and all of the guys on the crew were hard working, courteous, and friendly. It was amazing to watch how well they all worked together. One of the heaviest items was a band saw (about 300 pounds) that 2 guys with straps brought up out of our old basement- they made it look easy. Everything went smoothly even though the weather was snowy and cold that day - we had just a few boxes (out of about 600 or more) that wound up in the wrong room and nothing got broken. The guys put down rosin paper on our new floors as needed and were very careful. The final cost of the move was right in line with the initial quote and there were no surprises. We appreciate the great job that they did and are very happy we went with Checkmate. read more

Nathan and Gavin were super! They packed our furniture out of the house to our garage. When we are ready to move it all back we hope that they are available again! On time and a good company! read more

Did not use them because Jared told me after the walk-thru that he had just recovered from Covid a month ago. I asked him if he was vaccinated or planned to get vaccinated. He told me his wife knows more than the best scientists in the world and the answer was NO. I disagreed and we bantered a bit until I said, "if I had known that when you came to the door I would have asked you to put on a mask." He said he would have refused. At that point of almost no return, he was becoming defiant and when I was ready to terminate our conversation , I did throw out derogatory comment about tRump. He said we were done and I agreed. If you care so little about the rights of your customers DURING the interview, I guess that might be indicative of how you would perform your job. I'm 72 and on oxygen so that is how small of a regard Jared has for potential customers . Will you even be safe around his team of movers? read more

We have a double move. During our first move, Jared and team were amazing! I should have tipped them better! I am looking forward to our second in 10 days and hopeful to make up for it! Thank you, Jared. read more

We used Checkmate for a recent move within the metro area. We took quotes from 6 different companies and chose these guys for the price and good reviews. Every other company insisted we needed a larger crew and 2 trucks (4 bedroom house). Checkmate quoted us a better price that was based on one truck and a crew of three. That had me a little worried but Jared insisted that it would be enough and he didnt want to charge me for more than I needed. And he was exactly right. The crew was fast and polite and took great care of our stuff. They finished the entire move in less time than what any other company quoted us. I would absolutely use this company in the future. read more

I have had 5 moves in last few years; this is the worst. All the other movers kept my drawers full. These packers simply DUMPED the drawer contents in boxes Which were labeled by room only. No sorting at all. So I have 2'x2' boxes where loose jewelry was dumped with socks, underwear, pencils, some of my husband's tools and medication. No care was taken at all. A real mess--inexcusable. I had even asked that drawers remain full in dressers and chest. Was this done to pad packing charges? That is DUMPING charges. These are the only movers I have used who do this. I do NOT recommend. read more

I just completed my move with Checkmate today. This is by far the best company I have ever worked with for a move! Jared made the scheduling process incredibly easy. And the gentleman on my job were prompt, courteous and incredibly careful with my items. I would recommend Checkmate to anyone! No need to look elsewhere! Many thanks to you all! read more

I just used Checkmate for a local move. I was quoted $125 p/hour and told it would take 3-6 hours and prob not even the full amount of time. The quote at the max amount with the transport fee was $870 (already pretty steep for a local move, but they had good reviews and I'm a busy person, so I just booked it). The move took way longer than quoted (same stuff and agreement on all aspects was performed) and I ended up paying $1250 for this local move. The workers said that the owner does this all the time - that he way under quotes, then leaves them in an awkward position where people get mad at them and they don't get tipped. Such a horrible way to run a business!!! Trust me - DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY read more

Hands down the best moving experience we've ever had! They were prompt, respectful, worked incredibly hard (and fast). They were very careful with our belongings, put everything together perfectly, and had us double check that everything was put together perfectly and in the correct locations. We were more than pleased! read more

WARNING DO NOT USE THIS MOVING COMPANY. We hired this moving company to handle a move for us. In the middle of a pandemic, the movers showed up without masks and refused to wear masks to do the move. We explained that we are not comfortable having them in our house, especially because we have a newborn, if they will not follow the law with regard to COVID-19 safety. The owner of the company became enraged, insisted the law does not require his employees to wear masks, and refused to have his employees wear them. On top of that, when we did the bid for the move, he was fully aware that we were providing an estimate of the number of boxes. Five days before the move, I emailed him with the final number of boxes. He never responded to the email, and on the day of the move, he was so angry about our request that they follow the law and wear masks that he suddenly said he would only move the number of boxes in our original bid. We explained over and over that we had sent him the updated number of boxes, as agreed upon, and would pay the additional cost. We tried so hard to reason with him and explain that we were closing the next day and would be screwed if he refused to do the move as contracted. However, he eventually became so enraged (all due to our insistence that his employees wear masks to protect our infant) that he called his employees off the job and left us stranded with no movers at all. I have never dealt with a more unprofessional and inconsiderate company in my entire life. UPDATE: I'm not going to spend more time responding to everything stated in the company's response to my review. I will simply say that not a single thing stated is true. Do not trust this company. read more

We used Checkmate Moving and Storage for our move from Highlands Ranch to Aurora. They were the most professional and responsive movers that people and families could choose. The best thing about Checkmate is that they do not hire day laborers. All of the 5 movers that moved us are all Checkmate employees. They treat the furniture and items like it's their stuff. You will not be disappointed using Checkmate. read more

They are the best to work with - This is the first time i had to make a move all by myself and was also downsizing - had to sort, pack and move to 3 different locations - consignment, storage and rental place. This company was incredible, they came and helped in the sorting process, packing up valuable items for storage and helped get difficult items in my new rental place. They were flexible with my indecision at times and helped make the whole process so easy. I felt they were very fair in their pricing and they hired the nicest young people to make it fun and easy. My realtor Wendy Fisher gave me the referral read more

Awesome moving company. My wife and I have used them three times for short, local moves between Lone Tree and Parker (and within Parker). The most recent move was Saturday, March 7th. As with the previous two moves, they showed up on time and ready to work. They are neatly dressed and very courteous with each mover introducing himself by name. Also, they have someone come out prior to the move to provide a quote. They review how much stuff you have and items to be moved, etc. Then they quote you based on estimated number of hours and recommend the number of movers. The move cost less than we were quoted which was nice. My wife and I are very organized movers so we were ready for them when they arrived. If you are not organized and ready for them when they arrive then you may end up paying more than the quote if they have to wait on you to finish packing, etc. It is a family-owned business which we like and they provide top-notch service. We finally bought a house so hopefully this was our last move, but if not we will definitely use Checkmate again! read more

We used checkmate moving for our recent move about less than 10 miles away in Highlands Ranch and we highly recommend them!! Joshua and Gavin, our movers were highly professional, pleasant, and efficient. They arrived a little early and were courteous as anyone could be while doing the job effectively!! No matter what moving is stressful and with checkmate moving it was as painless as it could be! Scheduling the move was also easy and effortless. It is a bit expensive compared to other movers but we were happy to support the local business and you get what you pay for and this money is well spent! Thank you for a great service! I highly recommend checkmate moving!!! read more

This was our second time using Checkmate Moving and it was just as great this time as it was the first time! We used both their packing and moving services and it couldn't have gone smoother. From the initial consult with Jared, to the packing with a group of lovely ladies, to the actual move with Garrett and his team, everyone was unbelievably friendly, efficient, and took care of our belongings like they were their own. I have nothing but excellent things to say about this business! Definitely use them for your next move. read more

This local moving company is the one you want to use. They just moved me from my apartment and storage locations simultaneously. I don't usually review anything but was so impressed with these guys that I felt compelled speak up. Coming from out of town and not knowing which one to pick to move into our new house was a concern. If you're in a similar situation I highly recommend you chose them too. read more

Jared was responsive and provided a very accurate quote. Scheduling was easy and the crew that showed up were personable, professional and very efficient. Very easy move. Will use again and recommend! read more

Best experience we have ever had with a mover or just about any company. Jared was incredible with the planning process explaining the moving process, the costs and everything with the move (just about everything was included, no surprises :-) ). We loved that the workers are all employees (not contractors), they don't take smoke breaks and don't charge for lunch. Best of all the movers were professional, worked hard and were all around great people. Would hire these guys again in a second! read more

Checkmate Moving and Storage did a great job with our residential move - they were prompt (early even), took great care of our belongings, professional, and right on target with their quote. I gave 3 stars only, because we did have some customer service issues - our contact information wasn't updated appropriately, so a conference room at my employment kept missing calls and the movers couldn't get a hold of us on the day of. Outside of a few tweaks, they did a good job and we'd recommend/use them again. read more

We recently used Checkmate for a long distance move. I was so completely impressed by the entire crew at Checkmate. They were so professional, courteous, friendly, helpful, caring and careful with our belongings. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone looking to move! read more

Would like to give a shout out to Checkmate Moving. The crew was awesome. Three young men that were extremely polite and hard working...they showed up on time and worked hard to finish on time. They were very helpful in making sure everything was where I wanted it. The owner, Tom, went out of his way to make sure I was satisfied on the resolution for the piece of furniture that was damaged in the move. read more

Checkmate Moving and Storage is an outstanding moving company. I was very pleased with everyone I met during our move. They are the only company that sent a representative to our house to review our items and discuss the process prior to our moving date. I was offered tips to save money, and our final invoice was $400 less than their quote because we took their advice. These gentlemen were professional, courteous and well-organized. The team captain was knowledgeable and he worked along-side with everyone; they finished in a short amount of time. My furniture and other possessions are being stored at their facility, I am confident they will be returned in the same condition they were packaged and placed. I look forward to working with Checkmate Moving and Storage when they move my items out of their storage facility and into our new house. I highly recommend them! read more

We have used Checkmate 3 times- twice for personal and once for our business. We have been extremely pleased with their service. Great communication and accurate bidding of the job. Great care was taken by Checkmate while moving to make sure our belongings were not damaged as well as the commercial building or home. Thanks again to the folks at Checkmate. read more

This company facilitated my move from Parker to Larkspur. After moving three times as an adult, this was by far the most efficient and pleasant moving experience I have ever had! When Jared arrived to give us a quote, he was friendly and professional; he did a very good job of explaining the mission of the company and took the time to walk through our home asking questions so that he had a thorough understanding of what our move would entail. The ladies who came to help me pack were cheerful and efficient and extremely cautious with the items that I explained were precious to me... Even though several of those items had no real monetary value. The moving crew was equally efficient, friendly and cheerful, and meticulous in caring for our possessions during the entire process of getting those items from our previous home to our new home. It ended up being a very long day, but their smiles never wavered and their energy never faltered. And, as if that wasn't enough, they came in significantly under budget! I am honestly hoping that this is the very last move in my lifetime. However, if I do have a need for another local move, I will not even get competitive quotes. This company has my business for life. read more

These guys are very, very professional. They were quick, careful with my items and extremely courteous. Communication was excellent as well. Their service is fantastic and I will definitely be using them again. If only all companies were as top notch as Checkmate! read more

We would use checkmate moving again in a heartbeat and would recommend them to anyone! Polite, on time, hard working, funny, personable, and fast!!!! Nothing was harmed or damaged and they made sure to put everything in the correct place. From Jared to coming and giving a quote to the actual moving day everything went smooth. Thank you Checkmate for a job well done!!!! read more

We used this company in March when the quarantine was just starting. The team that the owner Jared sent was really bad. 1 of the people in the 4 person team kept sitting down and resting. There were so many things that went wrong, they scratched our new fridge when they were moving it. They forgot tools at the old house and sent my husband to get them. A lot of putting stuff back was done bumpy us I talked to Jared the owner and he mentioned that the team was new and that damages to stuff is normal he tried to take some money out of the bill since there was damage to our new fridge but honestly I would avoid this company. A couple of days later we noticed how many things were done wrong and sent a message to Jared so he would talk to his crew. He called really late and started yelling at us. Totally unprofessional said it was our because we should have called when the move was happening. I was by myself with the crew and was scared of angering 4 men. read more

Amazingly courteous, flexible, and careful!! on-time, professional, and a joy to work with. Could not have been more helpful or accommodating when it came to moving and rearranging furniture in my new place. Would DEF use again. Highly recommend!! Jared and his team are the BEST :-). read more

We used Checkmate Movers for our recent move. I'm so glad that we did. This is a very well ran family owned business, and they focus on customer satisfaction. My wife received a quote from Checkmate, and they put her mind at ease by letting her know that their employees have been then for a while, and show up everyday. We had an issue with another moving company. They guys showed up a few minutes early, and each one of them introduced themselves to us. They are all very professional, courtesy, and polite. They all went the extra mile to make sure that we were happy and completely satisfied. I will recommend Checkmate Movers to everyone that I know. Thank you. Jeff P. read more

Called for a quote spoke with the Owner Jared on September 24. Jared requested to meet with me on September 26 between 530pm and 545 pm to view the items to be moved. No call. no show. I called Jared's cellular phone and the home office to receive no answer. Finally spoke to home office, they stated they would contact Jared and have him call me. At 615 pm finally spoke with Jared at which point he told me he would not be there for another 40 minutes because he was in Lone Tree at another appointment. Jared did not apologize for missing the appointment and provided the excuse that he missed the appointment because he lost his cellular phone and had buy another phone. The truth is that he forgot about his requested meeting. No apology given rather a sarcastic, curt and rude response. Customer service extremely poor. Would not use this company since they may not show up for your move if they can't keep their initial appointments to provide a quote. read more
