Movers in Fremont County, CO | Checkmate Piano Movers

Southwest of Colorado Springs on US-50 lies Fremont County, the Arkansas River canyon country around Cañon City. We take SR-115 down past Penrose, pick up US-50 along the river, and run into the Cañon City seat, then on to Florence with its old main street or up the valley road toward Coaldale near the western line. The drive trades mountain grades for river canyon, with the road bending along the water and the dry, sunny climate that draws people down out of the higher snow. Nathan plans the haul so our crew still has the muscle left for the carry, whether it’s a grand or a garage’s worth of furniture.

A good share of this work is Springs and Front Range families moving down for the milder canyon weather and lower prices, retirees settling in Cañon City and Florence, and pianos coming with them after years in a Colorado home. We skid and crate the instrument, pad the whole household around it, and the same crew that wraps your upright on Powers Boulevard is the crew setting it down in Florence. Every mover is W-2 and on our payroll, the trucks wear our name the whole way down US-50, and a Cañon City closing that drifts means the load sits in our own climate-controlled storage back in the Springs, where a piano keeps its humidity, until the date holds.

Pianos and Households Southwest on US-50 into the Cañon City Canyon Country

The Fremont County homes that test a crew run from the historic houses on Cañon City’s old streets to the newer builds along the river with a baby grand in the front room. We bring the skid boards, ramps, and hand-padding to move an instrument clean and the muscle for the heavy household pieces, all backed by $1M of cargo coverage. The figures hold steady: $130/hr for two movers, $175/hr for three, $230/hr for four, or one flat written total after our crew surveys the home, the US-50 haul already inside it. An upright runs $280 to $450, a baby grand $500 to $800, a concert grand $750 to $1,300, and a church organ $350 to $650.
