Moving from Norfolk, VA to Colorado

If you're moving from Norfolk to Colorado, you're committing to roughly 1,833 miles and a meaningful lifestyle shift — drier air, harder winters, higher elevation, and a job market that's considerably stronger than what Hampton Roads typically offers. The move makes sense for a lot of people. The logistics, though, deserve real attention before you start calling around.

This guide covers what the move actually costs across three service types, which Norfolk-area companies have track records worth trusting, and what to expect when you land in Colorado.

Top Norfolk Movers for a Move to Colorado

Out of 20 Norfolk-area moving companies capable of handling state-to-state moves, here are five that stand out for a long run to Colorado:

Coleman Worldwide Moving — 4.56 / 5
College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving — 4.48 / 5
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK — 4.5 / 5
Apple Moving — 4.48 / 5
A Friendly & Affordable Mover — 4.52 / 5

These are regional operators based in the Hampton Roads area — an asset for local pickup and building-access logistics. For a haul this long, verify that whoever you choose has active long-distance moving authority through FMCSA and a DOT number you can look up independently.

If you want a nationally vetted option alongside these local names, SafeShip Moving is a long-distance broker I've found reliable on routes like this — worth requesting a quote for comparison.

Norfolk Moving Company Profiles

Coleman Worldwide Moving

110 years in the moving business earns a second look. But longevity isn't the same as reliability, and Coleman's numbers show some strain: only 37% of 59 analyzed reviews were positive, with 61% negative. Late arrivals, poor communication, and damaged items dominate the complaints — a combination that's harder to absorb on a cross-country move where you have fewer opportunities to correct problems mid-transit.

The positive reviews mention professional crews and careful packing, so the capability exists. Get your delivery window in writing and document your items' condition before the truck leaves Norfolk.

Services: Local, interstate, international, packing/unpacking, crating, storage, offices, safes

College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving

2618 Arkansas Avenue, Norfolk, VA 23513 4.48 / 5 overall | Yelp | Google | BBB: Grade F DOT #: 2378173 | State license: 5223

The Norfolk franchise runs better than the BBB grade implies — 81% positive out of 325 analyzed reviews is a solid number. Customers consistently mention efficient, friendly crews and smooth scheduling. Where it breaks down: damage to high-value items, unexpected charges, and some friction with the claims process. A binding estimate upfront and a direct conversation about claims handling will mitigate most of that risk.

One practical note before you go further: their listed services don't include interstate moves. Confirm they can actually execute the full Norfolk-to-Colorado run before you invest more time in this conversation.

Services: Local, packing/unpacking, offices, storage

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK

Of the five companies here, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK has the cleanest ratio — 80% positive out of 258 reviews, with consistent praise for professionalism and efficiency. The complaint that shows up repeatedly involves final bills that don't match the initial estimate. On a long-distance move where pricing already has more variables, that's a real risk. Ask specifically for a binding estimate rather than a non-binding one, and get clarity on what triggers additional charges before you sign.

Services: Local, interstate, packing/unpacking, pianos, storage, safes

Apple Moving

Apple Moving lands at 56% positive, 43% negative out of 275 analyzed reviews — technically majority positive, but barely. Crews consistently earn praise for being hardworking and personable. The pattern in negative reviews is damaged or missing items followed by difficulty getting those resolved. On an 1,800-mile move, claims handling matters considerably more than on a local job. Press them specifically on that process before you commit.

Services: Local, interstate, packing/unpacking, offices, pianos, hot tubs, pool tables, crating, storage

A Friendly & Affordable Mover

The strongest review ratio of the group by a wide margin: 87% positive out of 259 customers. Clients specifically call out transparent pricing, reliable communication, and crews that work carefully with belongings. They also offer full-valuation coverage — worth taking seriously on a haul this long. The negative reviews that exist cite occasional damage and some disagreement over estimates, but they're a small fraction of the total feedback. Of the five companies listed here, this is where I'd start.

Services: Local, interstate, packing/unpacking, offices, pianos, art, antiques, grandfather clocks, crating, full-valuation coverage, storage
