Hot Tub Movers Across the Denver Metro, With the New Spot Ready First
Tell us where your hot tub is, where it is going and when, and we connect you with a vetted local spa mover who is licensed and insured for the job, whether it goes on a dolly, over the house by crane, or out of the yard for good. The carry is the easy third: a drained tub can freeze and split its pumps and heater on any of Denver's 156.3 average freezing nights a year, and at the new house Colorado leaves the spa's circuit to a registered electrical contractor or the homeowner under a permit. We sort out whether the circuit, the pad and any HOA approval are ready before anyone quotes, so the move you book is one that can end with the tub running.

Tell us where the tub is, where it is going and when. That is usually enough for us to tell you whether it goes on a dolly or needs a crane, and what has to be ready at the other end before it arrives.

Three jobs, split by the way out and where the tub ends up
Pick the one that matches your yard. A tub going to a new house or a new spot on the same property is a move; a tub with no gate, side yard or slope it can pass on its side is a crane lift; a tub that is not going anywhere new is a removal. The split matters because it decides who comes out and what they bring, and a crane is decided by the route rather than the tub: federal rules make the crane operator's employer check for power lines within 20 feet of the lift before it starts.
Hot Tub Moving, House to House and Across the Yard
Get your hot tub or swim spa out of this yard and into the next one, working, with the drain, the carry and the reconnect planned as one job.
Start here if you are moving house, or moving the tub across the yard, and want it working at the other end.
About Hot Tub Moving →Hot Tub Removal and Disposal
Get a dead or unwanted hot tub out of the yard for good, drained the right way and taken somewhere that will accept it.
Start here if the tub is dead or unwanted, or a buyer wants it gone, and it is not coming with you.
About Hot Tub Removal →Hot Tub Crane Service
Lift a hot tub or swim spa over the house or down a steep lot when there is no route round the side, with the power lines, the street and the pad planned first.
Start here if there is no gate, side yard or slope the tub can get through on its side.
About Hot Tub Crane Lift →Get the move planned from both ends
Describe the tub, the way out and the new spot. We will tell you what the move involves, what an electrician still needs to do, and which local spa mover fits the job.
How a hot tub move gets planned, from your request to moving day
You tell us the tub, the way out and the new spot. We check what has to be ready at the other end. A local spa mover prices the job, and you decide.
Tell us where the tub is and where it is going
Five short questions: the job, the tub, the route out, the new spot and the date. The narrowest point between the tub and the street is what decides whether it goes on a dolly or needs a crane, so mention the gate, any steps and any deck in the message.
We check what has to be ready at the other end
A person reads your request and looks at the three things that decide whether the move works: the circuit, the pad and the date. If the new spot has no circuit yet, a registered electrical contractor needs to be booked around moving day, and in a covenant suburb such as Highlands Ranch the association may need to approve where the tub goes.
A vetted local spa mover prices the job
We pass the request to a local spa mover who is licensed and insured for the work, and the price comes from them, not from us. Nothing you send commits you, and you decide whether to book.
What makes this a local problem

Why the carry is the easy third of a hot tub move
A hot tub move is three jobs in a row, and the one people ask about, getting the tub on its side and onto a trailer, is usually the most predictable. The risk sits either side of it. Once the tub is disconnected and drained, water left in the pumps, jets and heater can freeze and split them. At Denver's airport weather station NOAA puts the median last spring freeze at May 5 and the first fall freeze at October 9, so for most of the year the refill has to be booked as tightly as the move.
At the new house, a hard-wired spa needs its own GFCI-protected circuit and a disconnect in sight of the tub. Colorado's Division of Professions and Occupations says it is against state law for anyone but the homeowner or a registered electrical contractor to install that, and the homeowner route only applies to a property that is not for sale or rent. The mover moves the tub; an electrician reconnects it, under the permit the destination town requires.
Then the spot itself. The American Wood Council's standard prescriptive deck guide says concentrated loads such as hot tubs are beyond its scope, so a deck built for people is not automatically a deck built for a filled tub. We find out whether the circuit, the pad and any association approval are ready before anyone quotes.
What is different about arranging a hot tub move this way
Both ends are planned, not just the carry
Most hot tub moving is sold as the lift. What decides whether the tub runs afterwards is the drain, the blow-out, the circuit and the pad, and Catalina Spas' own manual says draining as for normal maintenance does not protect a tub from freezing. So each request is sorted around both ends before a mover prices it.
Winter moves are planned against the freeze
Denver's airport station averages 29.2 freezing nights in December and 29.0 in January. A winter move is possible, but the lines need a proper blow-out and the reconnect booked for moving day or the day after, rather than a tub left empty in a yard or a trailer overnight.
Nobody pretends the mover is the electrician
In Colorado a mover who is not a registered electrical contractor may not wire your new circuit, and the state warns that homeowner's insurance may not cover repairs for work by someone without liability insurance. We say who does which part, so the day the tub arrives is not the day you find out.
Nothing to sell you
We are not a dealer and earn nothing from which tub you own or buy next. If the honest answer is that a gate coming off its hinges saves you a crane, or that the tub can stay with the house, that is the answer you get.

What people ask before they book a hot tub move
The tub is staying with the house, or someone is buying it. Do I need anyone?
Probably not. If the tub is included in the sale, nothing needs moving: check the purchase contract, and leave the disconnect and the manual where the buyer will find them. If it still works and someone will collect it, selling it or giving it away usually means nobody has to cut it up, and a buyer who takes it arranges their own move. Send a request only if it has to go and nobody is taking it.
Do I really need a crane?
Often not. A crane is decided by the route, not the tub: if there is a way to the street wide enough for the tub on its side, it can go on a dolly. A gate that lifts off its hinges or a fence panel taken down for the day is sometimes all it takes, and it is worth checking first, because Hot Spring puts a typical on-site move at $200 to $400 and says needing a crane or forklift raises the price. Send photos of each side of the house and we will tell you which it is before anyone books a truck.
Can the mover reconnect the tub at the new house?
Only if they are also a registered electrical contractor. Colorado's Division of Professions and Occupations says it is against state law for anyone other than the homeowner who is not a registered electrical contractor to install an electrical project on your property. You can do your own wiring only if you do it personally, the house is not for sale or rent, and you have a permit before you start. Either way the new spot needs a GFCI-protected circuit with a disconnect in sight of the tub, so book the electrician when you book the move.
Can a hot tub move happen in the middle of winter?
Yes, with planning. Denver's airport station averages 29.2 freezing nights in December and 29.0 in January, and a drained tub is exposed the whole time it sits empty. The pumps, jets, heater and lines need to be blown out, not just drained, and the refill and reconnect booked for moving day or the day after. If the new spot has no circuit yet, it can make more sense to leave the tub running where it is until it does.
Will moving the tub affect its warranty?
It can, and it is worth reading yours before you book. Viking Spas' limited warranty, for one, says it is void if the spa is relocated anywhere other than its original point of delivery, and Arctic Spas' warranties end when the tub changes hands from the original customer. Freeze damage is also commonly excluded. If your warranty has already run out or ends with the move, that does not stop the move, it only changes who pays if a part fails later.
Are you the moving company?
No. We are a referral service: we do not drain, lift, carry, wire or haul anything, and we are not a dealer or an electrician. We find out where the tub is, where it is going and what stands between the two, then connect you with a vetted local spa mover who is licensed and insured for the job. The mover prices the work and you agree it with them directly.
One request covers the move, the crane and the old tub
Nothing you send commits you to anything. A person reads it, and a mover only calls once you know what they are coming to price.
