Since 1968, Cowboy Moving and Storage has grown to become Colorado's go-to moving company. For more than 50 years, they've helped people move across the state, from Grand Junction to Denver, Colorado Springs to Fort Collins, always focusing on great service. What makes Cowboy Moving special is how they treat their customers and employees. Their movers are carefully screened with background checks and drug tests, and many have worked with the company for over ten years. This loyalty shows just how well the company treats its team members. Michael and Sheri Gail Folsom own and run this family business, keeping up traditions while adapting to what customers need today. They offer a complete range of services: home moves, office relocations, transport for special items, storage units, and their clever "Load & Hold" option—where they store your belongings until your new place is ready. Cowboy Moving has reached important milestones, especially in giving back to their community. Since 2010, they've partnered with Freedom Service Dogs, donating more than $50,000 to help train service dogs for people with disabilities. This partnership shows how much they value supporting the community that has supported them. The company covers the entire Denver Metro Region and moves people throughout Colorado. Their main office and climate-controlled storage facilities are in Englewood. Even as they've grown, Cowboy Moving still gives each customer personal attention, which is why they're known as "The Recommended Mover" across Colorado. Cowboy Moving and Storage continues their tradition of excellence with one goal: making stressful moves into smooth, worry-free experiences for every customer they serve.
