Serving Falcon, CO
Ballard’s is a labor-only moving company. You arrange the truck — U-Haul, Penske, or Budget — or we handle the rental. Either way, our crew shows up and does all the loading and unloading. No full-service markup. No inflated estimates. $150/hr with a two-hour minimum, nothing else on the invoice.
Falcon is unincorporated El Paso County — high plains east of Colorado Springs where half-acre lots and gravel roads sit alongside newer planned communities like Meridian Ranch and Woodmen Hills. A lot of families out here are connected to Schriever Space Force Base or Peterson. The area draws people who want space, and they tend to have more of it than the average household closer to the city.
Moving in Falcon is not a standard city job. Long driveways — some of them gravel — mean positioning a rental truck takes real planning. Large lots mean significant distance from the truck to the door. Detached garages and outbuildings add trips. An experienced crew reads the property before the first box moves and works the job accordingly. That matters here more than it does in a typical neighborhood.
Arrange your own truck rental — typically $19.95–$49.95 depending on size — or let us handle it. Either way, you’re paying for the crew doing the work, not a full-service company’s overhead. Most Falcon customers save several hundred dollars compared to what a traditional mover would quote for the same job.
Our crew is Colorado Springs-based, right down Highway 24. No drive-time charges, no travel fees. We’re licensed and insured in Colorado. $150/hr, two-hour minimum — that’s the number we quote and the number on the invoice. No surprises.

The Smarter Way to Move
Full-service moving companies charge for the truck, the fuel, the insurance markup, the drive time, and often fees that don’t show up until the invoice arrives. Labor-only moving strips all of that out. Arrange for a U-Haul, Penske, or Budget truck — typically $19.95–$49.95 depending on size — or let Ballard’s handle the rental. Either way, you pay only for the crew doing the actual loading and unloading.
Homes in Falcon tend to be larger than what you’d find closer to the city — more square footage, more furniture, more to move. The labor-only model handles this perfectly. You get a professional crew scaled to your job, a truck sized for what you need, and a final bill that reflects real labor — not a full-service company’s overhead. Most Falcon customers save $400–$700 compared to full-service quotes.
Many families in Falcon are connected to Schriever Space Force Base or Peterson Space Force Base and are familiar with Personally Procured Moves (PPM). We work PPM moves regularly and know exactly what’s needed: a fast, professional crew that handles the goods correctly and finishes on schedule.
One-bedroom or five-bedroom, new construction or established property — the model is the same: our experienced crew, your truck, no hidden fees, no surprises when the job is done.

“These guys loaded our entire Woodmen Hills place in under three hours. Two strong workers, knew exactly what they were doing. Labor-only is the way to go out here — you save a ton and still get professional movers.”
