Johnson Storage & Moving is a moving and storage company serving Denver and the Front Range from its facility on South Jordan Road in Centennial, south of Denver off C-470. This is Johnson's original location: the company was founded in Colorado in 1900 and has worked this market for 125 years. Johnson is a United Van Lines premier agent and a licensed carrier operating under USDOT #077949, employing its own drivers, moving crews, and packers rather than handing a customer off to a third-party moving company. Work covers local moves across the Denver metro with background-checked, drug-tested crews and transparent hourly pricing, long-distance and out-of-state relocations with dedicated drivers and MySite real-time tracking, DOD approved military and government PCS moves, senior and specialty moves, commercial and office relocations, packing services and supplies, and international moves through the FIDI and United Van Lines global networks. Mountain community moves are a stated Johnson specialty, covering Evergreen, Breckenridge, Vail, Aspen, Steamboat Springs, Telluride, and the Western Slope. The Centennial facility holds 22,000 square feet of climate-controlled full-service storage with bar-coded inventory and 24/7 security monitoring. Every estimate is free, delivered by Yembo smartphone self-survey, live virtual video survey, or an in-home visit from a Johnson relocation consultant. The company is ProMover certified, an OMA member, and was named a Best of Colorado Business by Colorado Biz Magazine in 2024.

Why choose us?
Johnson's original location, founded in Colorado in 1900
The Centennial branch is where Johnson started. The company was founded in Colorado in 1900 and has moved households and businesses on the Front Range for 125 years.
Mountain move specialists
Johnson is one of the few Front Range movers with dedicated experience in Colorado's mountain communities, planning each move around canyon roads, steep driveways, altitude above 9,000 feet, and seasonal access windows.
United Van Lines premier agent
As a premier United Van Lines agent, Johnson provides dedicated drivers, MySite real-time tracking, and full-value protection on interstate moves to all 50 states.
A licensed carrier, not a broker
Johnson operates under USDOT #077949 as an authorized United Van Lines agent and employs its own drivers, moving crews, and packers, so a customer is never handed off to a third-party company.
Free estimates three different ways
Every estimate is free and comes with zero pressure: a Yembo smartphone self-survey that takes 10 to 15 minutes, a live virtual video survey, or an in-home visit from a Johnson relocation consultant.
22,000 square feet of full-service storage in Centennial
The Centennial facility offers climate-controlled full-service storage with sprinkler systems, bar-coded inventory management, and 24/7 security monitoring, for residential, commercial, and military storage on short-term or long-term terms.
Do you serve the entire Denver metro and Front Range corridor?
Yes. Johnson serves the full Denver metro from the Centennial facility on South Jordan Road, including Aurora, Lakewood, Arvada, Westminster, Thornton, Broomfield, Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Parker, Castle Rock, and Lone Tree. The company also serves the full Front Range from Fort Collins and Loveland in the north to Colorado Springs and Pueblo in the south.
Can you handle moves to and from mountain communities?
Yes, and Johnson describes this as a genuine specialty. The crews have extensive experience with moves to and from Evergreen, Conifer, Breckenridge, Frisco, Silverthorne, Vail, Beaver Creek, Aspen, Glenwood Springs, Steamboat Springs, Telluride, and communities across the Western Slope. Mountain moves require specialized planning for narrow roads, steep driveways, altitude, and seasonal access windows.
Are you a licensed carrier or a broker?
Johnson is a licensed carrier, not a broker. The company operates under USDOT #077949 as an authorized agent for United Van Lines and employs its own drivers, moving crews, and packers. You are never handed off to a third-party company, so the company that estimates your move is the same company that executes it.
Do you handle military PCS moves from Colorado installations?
Yes. Johnson is DOD approved and has decades of experience with PCS moves from Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever SFB, Buckley Space Force Base, Fort Carson, and the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. Entitlements, weight tickets, and military timelines are handled precisely, and storage between duty stations is available.
What storage options are available at the Centennial location?
The Centennial facility offers 22,000 square feet of secure, climate-controlled full-service storage with bar-coded inventory management, sprinkler systems, and 24/7 security monitoring. Additional capacity is available through the Boulder location, which holds 40,000 square feet. Storage covers residential, commercial, and military needs on short-term or long-term terms, and Johnson moves your belongings in and out so you never have to rent a truck.
Is an estimate free, and how do I get one?
Every estimate is free and comes with zero pressure. You can walk through your home with a Yembo smartphone self-survey in about 10 to 15 minutes with no appointment, schedule a live virtual video survey, or book an in-home visit from a Johnson relocation consultant. Virtual and in-home appointments run about 30 to 90 minutes.
When is peak moving season in Denver?
Denver's peak season runs May through September, with June and July the busiest months, driven by military PCS cycles, corporate relocations, and school-year transitions. Johnson recommends booking 4 to 6 weeks in advance during peak season. Colorado's mild springs and falls make those shoulder seasons good times to move with more flexibility and availability.
Do you handle the Certificate of Insurance my Denver building requires?
Yes. Many Denver high-rises, especially in LoDo, RiNo, Cherry Creek, and Uptown, require a Certificate of Insurance from the moving company before granting elevator or loading dock access. Johnson handles all COI paperwork and building coordination in advance.
