Fountain Movers | Checkmate Piano Movers

Licensed, insured piano and home movers serving Fountain and the Pikes Peak region — flat-rate, on time, every job.

Fountain stretches south of Colorado Springs along I-25 and US-85, right beside Fort Carson, and the base sets the tempo out here. PCS orders rotate families through the newer tract homes off Mesa Ridge and the streets that fold into Security-Widefield next door, and once the Army stamps a report date on the paperwork, the move has to hit it. Checkmate runs this corridor weekly, so the subdivision loops where a truck keeps moving and the gate timing along US-85 are already familiar ground.

For a young enlisted family the flat written rate carries the most weight, because what you’re quoted is what you owe, with no clock running while a sofa threads down a tract-home hall. We pad and wrap furniture against the dry Front Range air, sleeve the screens, and load the household onto our own truck. If there’s an upright in the living room, the piano crew skids and pads it under the same fixed figure, plainly written. Checkmate owns the job start to finish; a Fountain move is never signed over to anyone else.

Fort Carson PCS Households and Mesa Ridge Homes

Report dates wander and base housing rotates on a clock all its own, so when yours shifts we shift with it and the price stays put. A Mesa Ridge tract home or an apartment near the gate, upright in the front room or not, the crew handles it for the figure agreed first.

“We had a baby grand to bring down from the upper level of our Broadmoor place along with a full 2-bed, and Gideon's crew handled the piano beautifully, skid board, straps, the whole routine, not a scratch on the case or the stair rail. Where I'd hold back the fifth star: scheduling was a little loose, they landed closer to the back of the morning window than the front, so we lost an hour standing around. Once they got going the work was first-rate and the written price never moved.”

“Needed our upright moved from an Old Colorado City rental into a cottage up in Manitou, narrow porch steps on both ends. I called three movers and Checkmate was the only one who talked about a skid board and humidity instead of just 'yeah we can grab that.' Two guys, padded it, walked it down the stoop slow, and tucked it into the new front room. Worth every dollar to know the piano was in real piano hands.”

“Our Manitou Springs place is on one of those streets where a big truck barely fits, and the crew handled it like they'd done it a hundred times. They wrapped the furniture, took the old narrow staircase a piece at a time, and rebuilt both beds at the new house. Nathan had quoted a flat number after walking through, and that was exactly what I paid at the end, no creep. Genuinely good people.”

“Small studio over in Briargate, and honestly I felt a bit silly booking a piano-specialist crew for something that fit in one room. They gave it full attention regardless. A pair of movers had me loaded and settled into the new spot in under three hours, careful with my turntable and bike, and the flat rate came in honest with nothing added at the close. Smooth from beginning to end.”

Questions People Ask Checkmate

My Fort Carson PCS report date keeps moving. Will Checkmate hold my Fountain booking and rate?
Yes. This close to Carson, orders and base housing seldom sit still, so once you've booked, your reserved day moves with the orders and the flat written figure stays fixed. We track the change with you rather than re-quoting each slip, and there's no penalty when the Army resets it.
Do you have an upright I can move with the rest of my Fountain household in one trip?
We do, in the same visit and under the same fixed figure. The piano crew skids and pads an upright, $280 to $450, and sends it out with the rest of the house. This is the Checkmate angle. Nathan built the company on pianos, so the instrument isn't a separate vendor or a second day.
What does a Fountain move with Checkmate actually run?
It tracks the home, but our local hourly is $130 for two movers, $175 for three, and $230 for four, and we pin a flat written rate up front so the number holds. A one-bedroom typically lands in the $620 to $1,000 band, a two-bedroom in the $1,000 to $1,700 range.
