Quick answer: moving helpers in the Denver metro from Rocket Services cost $99/hr for 1 helper, $149/hr for 2, $199/hr for 3 and $269/hr for 4, with a 2-hour minimum, then 15-minute increments. Add $1 per round-trip mile from our base in Aurora, CO 80017. You rent the truck, PODS or storage unit; we do the lifting.

Every fee, posted

  • Hourly labor: 1 helper $99/hr, 2 helpers $149/hr, 3 helpers $199/hr, 4 helpers $269/hr. 2-hour minimum, then 15-minute increments.

  • Mileage: $1 per round-trip mile from Aurora (80017). This is the only travel charge.

  • Stairs: the first flight is included; each extra flight is +$20.

  • Same-day booking: +$79 when a crew is free.

  • Before 7am or after 7pm: by phone request only at (720) 336-1661, billed +20%.

  • Packing: 1 packer $99/hr or 2 packers $129/hr, 2-hour minimum.

  • Furniture assembly: 1 helper $99/hr or 2 helpers $129/hr, 1-hour minimum.

  • Supply kits (optional): $96, $162 or $287, and you keep what you buy.

There is no separate trip fee. Need help at two addresses, like loading in Aurora and unloading in Denver? Book both stops together and the office will plan one crew for the whole move.

What a move usually costs

These are typical labor costs to load or unload one address with boxes already packed:

  • Studio: 2 helpers, 2 to 2.5 hours, about $298 to $373

  • 1 bedroom: 2 helpers, 2 to 3 hours, about $298 to $447

  • 2 bedroom: 2 helpers, 3 to 4 hours, about $447 to $596

  • 3 bedroom: 3 helpers, 4 to 6 hours, about $796 to $1,194

  • 4+ bedroom: 4 helpers, 5 to 8 hours, about $1,345 to $2,152

Mileage by city

Mileage is $1 per round-trip mile from Aurora (80017), so it usually adds:

What changes the price

  • Packing: boxes packed and taped before we arrive is the biggest time saver.

  • Distance to the door: park the truck or PODS as close as you can, and reserve the elevator or loading dock.

  • Stairs and basements: tell us when you book so we send the right crew.

  • Heavy items: 2 helpers handle items up to 300 lb. 300 to 400 lb needs 3 helpers, or 4 with stairs, and 400 lb is the maximum. Not sure? Text photos to (720) 336-1661.

  • Beds and big furniture: taking them apart takes time. We bring the tools, or you can do it the night before.

What is and is not included

Included: dollies, basic tools, loading and strapping the truck or container, and taking apart and putting back beds and tables. Not included: the truck, driving, hauling things away, installs or cleaning. We are labor-only moving help.

Damage protection and insurance

Rocket Services is insured, our crews are W-2 employees, and every crew member is background-checked. Damage protection is $0.60 per pound per item, up to $1,000 per job or the job total. A certificate of insurance for your building or HOA is free.

More ways our crew can help

  • In-home moves: furniture moved between rooms and floors, or out of the way for new floors or paint. No truck needed.

  • Senior moves and downsizing: packing what is moving, setting aside what goes to family, and setting up the new room.

  • Labor-only clean outs: you order the dumpster or curbside pickup, and we load it.

  • Eviction set-out help: a crew on site with the sheriff's deputy, for landlords and property managers.

  • Property management help: unit turnovers, items left after a move-out and furniture between units.

  • Event setup: tables, chairs and staging for schools, government buildings and offices.
