After coordinating an estimate with a moving company, they will conduct an in-depth survey of your belongings, which then serves as the basis for a moving estimate. You will then be assigned a dedicated moving specialist, whose role is to guide and assist throughout the move.They will be able to answer any questions that you may have. After finalizing the details, an ‘Order of Service’ is provided, clearly outlining the specifics of the move. On the day of the move, a ‘Bill of Lading’ is presented, acting as an itemized list of all belongings being transported. Your movers will load all of your items into their moving van. If you opted in for packing services, a team would have arrived on an agreed-upon date a few days prior. As items are unloaded at the new location, they are checked off this list to ensure everything is properly accounted for. To wrap up the move, you or a trusted loved one will do a comprehensive walkthrough and confirm with the team leader, confirming that all items have been handled and placed with care.

Senior moving services are specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of the older population. Movers that cater to seniors recognize the emotional and logistical challenges involved. They typically offer transportation of household goods, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and loading and unloading. Additionally, many also provide add-on services like packing, unpacking, and storage solutions to ease the transition.

We provide a comprehensive range of services for seniors, including local and long-distance moving, warehouse storage with temperature and pest control, and mobile storage. Additionally, for those seeking a hands-off experience, we offer tailored packing and unpacking services so that you can sit back and relax.
The cost of hiring senior movers varies significantly based on several elements like the volume of items, distance of the move, and specific services chosen. Generally, for local senior moves, prices can range from $500 to $2,500, while long-distance moves, going across state lines, can range from $2,000 to $10,000, with variations based on the weight, distance, and additional services like packing or storage.

The handling of fragile and valuable items is an integral part of any moving service. These items often have significant sentimental or monetary value, making their safe transport paramount. Reputable movers understand the nuances involved in transporting such items. From using premium-grade packing materials like bubble wrap, padded blankets, and specialty boxes, to employing custom crating for particularly unique or delicate items, a lot goes into ensuring their safety. Additionally, expert movers deploy specific handling techniques, such as securing items in the truck to avoid shifting during transit, and using equipment like dollies or hand trucks for safe maneuvering.
At Exodus Moving & Storage, we elevate the standard of care when it comes to your treasured possessions. With a rich history of handling everything from heirloom antiques to prized art collections, we’ve honed our methods to ensure that each piece is treated with the reverence it deserves.

Initially, a comprehensive assessment of the household items is carried out, giving seniors a clear picture of what needs to be moved, donated, or discarded. After this assessment, the mover provides a detailed cost estimate. A timeline is then established, specifying the key milestones, from the packing start date to the day of the move and eventual unpacking. Throughout this process, regular communication is vital, and many moving companies offer personalized checklists or guides to keep everything organized. On moving day, efficient loading techniques are used, ensuring safe transportation. Upon arrival at the new residence, items are carefully unloaded and placed according to the resident’s preference, making sure they feel right at home from the start.
Exodus Moving & Storage prioritizes a personalized approach for every senior move. We understand that, especially for seniors, moving isn’t just about relocating belongings—it’s about transitioning memories, emotions, and a lifetime of experiences. Our planning process begins with a thorough consultation, aiming to understand the specific needs and concerns of each client. Following this, our team crafts a detailed plan, integrating any specific requirements or considerations. This could be about ensuring cherished heirlooms are packed with extra care or scheduling the move to align with the best timing for our clients.
The process of moving for older adults can be both emotionally and physically challenging, which is why it’s crucial for senior moving services to have staff who are not only trained in the logistics of moving but also equipped with the skills and empathy to cater to the unique requirements of seniors. Such training encompasses understanding potential health issues, the challenges of downsizing after many years, the patience required to handle sensitive situations, and the skills to accommodate any physical or cognitive special needs. For many seniors, a move can signify a significant life transition, and having movers who can navigate this transition with understanding and care makes all the difference.
Exodus Moving & Storage takes this responsibility to heart. We believe that every senior move is more than just a relocation—it’s a life event deserving of respect, patience, and utmost care. Our team undergoes rigorous training based on the guidelines of the American Trucking Association: Moving & Storage Conference. We are also Silver Certified by Wheaton World Wide Moving, meaning that our movers have been expertly trained to handle the specific challenges that older adults face when moving.
The duration of a senior move largely depends on several factors, including the size of the current residence, the volume of belongings, the distance between the old and new locations, and any special requirements or accommodations that need to be addressed. For local senior moves, the entire process, from packing to settling items in the new residence, typically spans anywhere from a couple of days to a week. However, for long-distance senior moves, the timeframe can extend from one to several weeks, considering factors such as travel time, logistical challenges, and potential waiting periods for delivery windows.
At Exodus Moving & Storage, our extensive experience has honed our ability to execute moves with precision and efficiency. While we prioritize care and attention to detail, especially in senior moves, we also recognize the importance of timely transitions to minimize disruption and stress for our clients. For local moves within regions like Fort Collins, Boulder, and Denver, we often complete projects within a 1-5 day window, ensuring that our clients can swiftly settle into their new homes. For our long-distance endeavors, we leverage our partnership with Wheaton World Wide Moving to streamline the process.
Given the close interaction with clients and the handling of personal belongings, movers have a significant responsibility to ensure the safety of both their teams and the households they serve. Typical precautions include frequent hand sanitizing, using gloves, disinfecting trucks and equipment, and conducting daily health checks for moving staff. Moreover, many companies offer virtual household goods assessments instead of in-person evaluations to minimize contact and adhere to safety guidelines. For senior moves, these precautions are especially critical since older adults often fall into the higher-risk category for many infectious diseases.
Exodus Moving & Storage takes the health and safety of its clients and team members with utmost seriousness. Recognizing the unique vulnerabilities of our senior clientele, we’ve implemented a stringent set of safety protocols in line with both national health recommendations and industry best practices. We also provide flexible scheduling and virtual estimate options for our customers, ensuring that their comfort and safety remain paramount throughout the moving process.
Typically, you can verify a mover’s license by checking the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) number for interstate movers and state-specific licenses, such as the Colorado HHG, for movers within Colorado. Besides licensing, insurance is equally vital. This should include General Liability and Worker’s Comp. It’s also advisable to check the Federal Mover’s Database to confirm licensing details.
Exodus Moving & Storage prides itself on its impeccable record and dedication to maintaining the highest industry standards. We are fully licensed, holding a USDOT license with the number 70719 and a Colorado-specific HHG license with the number HHG-00071. Our longstanding reputation in the Colorado regions of Fort Collins, Boulder, and Denver is built on trust, and our licensing and insurance commitments play a significant role in that trust.

Additionally, pay attention to detailed feedback related to punctuality, care for belongings, customer service, and how the company handles any issues or complaints. Lastly, check whether the moving company responds to reviews, both positive and negative. A company’s engagement shows their commitment to feedback and continuous improvement.
