About Denver
Denver is Colorado's capital and largest city, sitting at about 5,280 feet, which earned it the nickname the Mile High City. Its housing ranges from historic bungalows and Victorians to modern infill and high-rise construction.
Regional considerations

- Share your preferred dates, working hours and how long you expect to need the equipment or service.
- List the heaviest and largest items or loads, with approximate weights and dimensions, or share the equipment spec sheet.

- Note any site rules, such as general contractor requirements, safety orientation, insurance certificates or restricted hours.
Good questions to ask any provider

- Is there a damage waiver?

Verify before you hire
Licensing, permit and insurance requirements are set by the state and local jurisdiction where the work happens, and they can differ between neighboring cities. Ask any provider which requirements apply in Denver, and confirm details with the relevant agency when it matters.
