Affordable Movers in Monument, CO
Ballard’s provides the crew. You arrange the truck — U-Haul, Penske, or Budget — or let us handle the rental. Either way, we show up, load or unload everything, and leave when the job is done. No fuel surcharge, no mystery line items on the invoice. Just labor, billed by the hour.
Monument is one of those places people move to and stay. Tucked into the Tri-Lakes area on the Palmer Divide, it sits right on I-25 between Colorado Springs and Denver — 20 minutes south to the Springs, an hour north to the city. Lewis-Palmer schools draw families from across the region. Jackson Creek is all newer construction; Woodmoor and Gleneagle run larger lots and established trees. It’s a bedroom community that doesn’t feel like one, and we’re up here regularly.
The homes here tend to run larger than what you find closer to Colorado Springs — three-car garages, open floor plans, primary suites with sitting rooms. Those moves take real experience: staging the truck right, knowing which pieces go in first, protecting a staircase railing when you’re rounding a tight turn with a king-size frame. We’ve worked enough of these homes to know where the problems usually hide before we pick up the first box.
Labor-only typically saves Monument residents $400–$700 against a full-service quote for the same job. Rental trucks run $19.95–$49.95 depending on size — book one yourself or let us arrange it. Our rate is $150 an hour, two-hour minimum. That’s the whole bill.
We’re based in Colorado Springs — Monument is regular territory, not a special trip. No drive-time charge, no travel fee. Licensed and insured in Colorado. The number we quote is the number you pay.

The Smarter Way to Move
Why Monument Residents Choose Labor-Only Moving
Full-service moving companies charge for the truck, the fuel, the insurance markup, the drive time to your location, 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’re paying only for the crew that does the actual loading and unloading.
For most Monument homes, going labor-only cuts the total cost of the move in half or better. A 3-bedroom move that runs $2,000–$2,500 through a full-service company typically runs $700–$1,000 labor-only. That’s money that stays in your pocket — money that goes toward your new home instead of someone else’s overhead and truck payments.
Monument is a commuter community, and a lot of the moves we do here are people relocating from the Denver metro to get more space and a quieter pace of life — or the reverse, heading back north for work. We run the I-25 corridor constantly. We know the drive, we know the neighborhoods, and we show up ready to work from the first minute of the job.
Whether you’re moving a one-bedroom rental in the Tri-Lakes area or a full 5-bedroom in Jackson Creek, the labor-only model works the same: our experienced crew, your truck, no hidden fees, no surprises at the end.

Reviews from Monument Customers
“Moved from Jackson Creek up to Woodmoor and Ballard’s was exactly what we needed. Two guys, worked fast, no drama. Saved a ton by going labor-only — couldn’t have asked for a better crew.”
