Third floor, no elevator, 1920s brick, a narrow turn at the landing — and it's still one flat photo-quoted price from $75. Up or down the stairs, no elevator, no surcharge — it's in the flat price. Denver's flat ground, so we skip the hill drama other cities charge for. We carry the couch and the mattress down every flight ourselves. No Colorado sales tax on the service.

Renter turnover here is the highest in the city, which means a constant churn of couches and mattresses that have to come down three or four flights of narrow, turning stairs. Plenty of haulers see stairs and reach for a "stair fee" or a "per-flight" upcharge that only shows up once they're standing in your doorway. We don't. Here's the whole policy in one line: up or down the stairs, no elevator, no surcharge — it's in the flat price. The number you get from your photo already assumes the carry, however many flights it takes.
In San Francisco or Seattle, a walk-up often sits at the top of a hill on top of the stairs — so the carry-out is stairs plus a slope, and crews price for it. Denver is flat. Cap Hill, Cheesman, and City Park West are laid out on an even grid at a mile high, so once we're down your building's stairs, it's a level walk to the truck — no hill, no terrain math, no drama. That's why we can make the no-surcharge promise cleanly and mean it: the only variable is the flights of stairs, and those are already in the flat price. It's one of the quiet advantages of hauling in Denver, and we pass it straight to you.
Snap the couch, the mattress, the pile. Flat price back in seconds — the stairs are already assumed, so there's no on-site "oh, it's a fourth floor" reveal.
Same-day is usually open across Cap Hill and Cheesman. We plan the truck placement so tight street parking is our problem, not yours.
A vetted crew navigates the landings and the doorway turn, down every flight, and hauls it. Resellable pieces are donated. You lift nothing.
Flat and photo-quoted, stairs included. The two things that leave a Cap Hill apartment most — a couch and a mattress set — carried down in the same trip:
| Item | Flat price |
|---|---|
| Loveseat | $160 |
| Sofa / couch | $170 |
| Sleeper / pull-out sofa | $200 |
| Queen mattress | $139 |
| Box spring | $124 |
| Dresser | $169 |
| Quarter truck-fill (whole move-out) | $325 |
| Half truck-fill | $580 |
$75 minimum. The couch plus the mattress and box spring is one flat number, carried down together — send a single photo of the room and we price the whole set. No stair surcharge, no high-floor fee, no Colorado sales tax on the service.
For context, some Denver haulers quote a base rate and then add a per-flight or "difficult access" charge once they see the walk-up — ours is baked in from the photo, so the quote you get is the price you pay.
| Option | Cost | Speed | Catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carry it down yourself | Free | Your afternoon | A mattress and a couch down three flights, solo, is how backs get thrown out |
| Denver Large Item Pickup | Free | Up to ~9 weeks | Most apartment buildings aren't on the route; still curbside, so you carry it down anyway |
| Hauler with a stair fee | Base + per-flight | 1–3 days | The upcharge shows up on site, once they see the fourth floor |
| JunkRabbit | Flat, from $75 | Same day | None — stairs included, we carry it down, donation-routed |
Effectively, no. Denver's free Large Item Pickup (Denver 311 · 720-913-1311) is curbside-only and serves city-trash homes — most Capitol Hill and Cheesman apartment buildings aren't on the route at all. And even where a building is, "curbside" means you still have to haul the mattress down all four flights and leave it on the sidewalk, then wait up to nine weeks for the truck to reach your zone. For a renter on a lease-end deadline in a no-elevator building, that's not a real option twice over: the carry is still yours, and the timeline doesn't fit a move-out. We carry it out of the unit and haul it the same day — the exact thing the curbside program can't do.
A couch or dresser that came out of a Cap Hill flat in decent shape doesn't belong in a landfill, so we route usable pieces to donation first — Goodwill of Colorado, ARC Thrift Stores, and Habitat for Humanity ReStore all take furniture across the metro, and you can request a tax receipt. Mattresses in sound condition head to recycling. What's genuinely worn out is disposed responsibly, and every load rides tarped — which on the Front Range keeps the tip fee from doubling for an uncovered truck. All of it is inside your flat price, stairs and all.
"Fourth-floor Cap Hill walk-up, a sleeper sofa and a queen set. I braced for a stair fee — there wasn't one. Flat price from the photo, both down in one trip, no drama."
"Old mansion-conversion flat by Cheesman, the staircase is basically a corkscrew. They got a dresser and a couch down it without a scratch on the walls. Parked and handled it themselves."
"Managing a City Park West building, tenant left a whole apartment behind. One flat truck-fill, three flights, same afternoon. This is who I call now for every turnover."
Is there a stair or high-floor fee?
No. Up or down, any floor, walk-up or not — the carry is in the flat price. Denver's flat, so there's no hill to charge for either.
How much to clear a walk-up apartment?
Sofa $170, queen mattress $139, dresser $169; a whole move-out is a truck-fill flat rate ($325 quarter, $580 half). $75 minimum, no Colorado sales tax.
Couch and mattress together?
Yes — one flat number, carried down in the same trip. Send one photo of the room.
What about parking?
Ours to handle. We position the truck and do the walk; you don't reserve or hold a spot.
