In a world where customer service is often an afterthought, one local moving company stands out by epitomizing the essence of family, dedication, and community service. 

Checkmate Moving & Storage, nestled in Colorado, has earned its reputation as a trustworthy partner for families, professionals, and businesses alike. With deep roots in the area and a commitment to delivering exceptional service, they truly embody the spirit of BackCountry. 

The story of Checkmate Moving & Storage begins with a love story that blossomed in Colorado. Tom and Barrett, high school sweethearts, have shared their lives together since 1984. Upon marriage, they ventured into the world of entrepreneurship, establishing their first business, a trash company, in 1987. After two decades of success, they decided to sell that venture in 2007. Their entrepreneurial spirit didn’t wane, however—by 2010, they joined forces with two of their children to launch Checkmate Moving & Storage, a full-service moving company that is entirely family-owned and operated. 

At Checkmate, it's not just about moving boxes; it's about moving lives. “Every move is unique,” Barrett emphasizes. “We understand how personal it is to transition from one home to another. We’re not just transporting belongings; we are helping to create new beginnings.” 

What sets Checkmate apart from other moving companies is their unwavering commitment to customer service. Tom, Barrett, and their son Jared manage daily operations, often working on-site alongside their dedicated team. Every employee is carefully trained and brought into their family’s moving legacy. “We take pride in hiring local employees; we wouldn’t dream of using day laborers,” says Barrett. “We value relationships—not just with our customers but with our team.”  This commitment to quality is evident in their comprehensive suite of services. From residential and commercial moves to packing, unloading, long-distance relocations, and storage options, 

Checkmate caters to every need while ensuring a stress-free experience. They value transparency, offering clear pricing with no hidden fees, and prefer to conduct in-person estimates. This personalized touch is aimed at preparing their customers for the moving process, ensuring they understand every step involved. 

Beyond their professional accomplishments, Checkmate Moving & Storage is deeply entwined with the community they serve. They believe in giving back, hoping to uplift others as they achieve their own success. Barrett serves as the co-founder of Knock Knock Angels, Colorado, a 501(c)(3) charity that helps individuals transitioning out of homelessness furnish their homes. Checkmate Moving donates a portion of its time and resources to this charity each month, showcasing a heart that genuinely cares for the welfare of others. The company also actively supports various local charities, including the South Metro Denver Realtors Association Charities, by collecting and delivering toys for the Boys & Girls Club of Denver. By integrating community service into their business model, they embody the values of kindness and communal responsibility—qualities that resonate strongly with the residents of BackCountry. 

Living in Colorado presents unique challenges, particularly in the housing market. Many homeowners and renters face hurdles that can complicate their moving experience. However, Checkmate has remained resilient. “Staying competitive and focused on efficiency has been crucial for us,” Barrett reflects. “We’re committed to offering the best service possible, even when the market presents challenges.”  Their careful management of growth emphasizes the importance of remaining a small business, valuing quality over quantity. “We aim to grow gradually, maintaining our family dynamic while continuing to provide exceptional service,” says Tom. This philosophy ensures that each family or business they assist receives personalized attention, making them feel like part of the Checkmate family. 

 Checkmate Moving & Storage distinguishes itself with its long-distance moving services, which are often defined as ‘white glove’ due to their high level of care. Unlike many companies, they do not subcontract these moves. Tom, the only driver for long-distance relocations, oversees the entire process from loading to unloading, ensuring a seamless experience. “We offer a commitment to our customers that includes an exact arrival date, barring any unforeseen weather or mechanical issues,” Tom explains. This service not only allows families to feel secure in their move but also invites a personal touch. Customers often receive Tom’s cell phone number, enabling them to stay in touch during their journey. “We’ve even had customers travel to the same hotels along the way, forming unique bonds,” Barrett adds with a smile.  

For residents of BackCountry seeking moving services, Checkmate Moving & Storage presents an unparalleled choice. With a personalized touch, deep community ties, and a steadfast commitment to customer satisfaction, they are the embodiment of a family who cares deeply about the communities they serve.  As summer approaches—the peak moving season—Barrett recommends that residents take the time to plan their moves early. “Give yourself space to declutter; it can save both time and money,” she advises. “And don’t overlook the importance of an in-person estimate. It gives you a true sense of the costs involved.”
