The Moving Crew You Need
and Can Afford.
Pay less for labor-only moving in Colorado Springs, the Front Range, and mountain communities.
What We Do
You arrange your own U-Haul, Penske, or Budget truck — or we handle the rental. Either way, our crew shows up and does all the loading and unloading. Straightforward labor at affordable rates, no add-ons, no surprises.
We pack your truck with precision — furniture padded, items secured, every inch used. You drive, we load.
Already at the new place? We unload, carry everything in, and place furniture exactly where you want it.
The complete move from A to B. We load the truck, you drive it, we unload at the destination. Done.
We bring the truck and a driver at a flat day rate — not hourly. Same great service, we handle the wheels too.
Preparing for a showing, rearranging after a remodel, or clearing out a room — we move furniture within the home too.
We load your storage unit efficiently so everything fits, stays protected, and stays accessible when you need it.
Not the right fit for: Out-of-state moves, specialty piano or safe moving, or full-service packing. We’re happy to point you in the right direction for those.

“These guys were incredible. On time, worked non-stop, and had our 3-bedroom loaded in under two hours. The way they packed that truck was like a game of Tetris. Nothing shifted, nothing broke. Will absolutely use them again.”Jamie R. Colorado Springs, CO
“I was nervous about hiring movers but Ballard’s made it so easy. Super professional, courteous, careful with everything. I saved probably $400 by renting the truck myself. Best decision I made during my move.”Marcus T. Monument, CO
“Hired them to unload a Pod at my new place. They were early, friendly, and had everything inside in under 90 minutes. Took furniture to the exact rooms I wanted without being asked twice. Referred them to my sister already.”Denise K. Pueblo, CO

From the Front Range to the mountain communities, we go where you need us — anywhere in Colorado.
Get a Free QuoteMost moving companies charge $159 to $214 an hour — plus a $169 service fee on top of that. Before they’ve touched a single box, you’re already out $487 to $597 just to get them through the door.
Ballard’s starts at $145 an hour with a 2-hour minimum. No service fees, no fuel surcharges, no stair fees. That’s nearly $200 less before the job even starts — and the gap only grows as the hours add up.
Keeping our prices low is a deliberate business decision — not a discount, not a promotion. We don’t own a fleet of trucks, and that’s by design. Bigger movers carry the loan, insurance, maintenance, and repairs on those trucks every single month. You pay for all of it whether you asked for it or not — it’s baked right into your quote before anyone lifts a box.
We skip all of that. A U-Haul rental starts at $29.95 a day — you arrange it yourself or we handle it. Either way, our crew shows up and does all the loading and unloading. Less overhead means lower rates, more money stays in your pocket — and that’s why we think our business model is better.
Don’t take our word for it — every review we’ve earned is 5 stars.
