“I scheduled another moving company to move furniture and boxes from storage to my apartment. The day before the move, the other company left me a voice message that the move wouldn’t happen because they are overbooked. In a panic, I called Ballard’s Biz. I’m so glad I did. They were able to squeeze me in and the movers were fabulous — they protected the furniture, were extremely professional, careful and just so darn nice. And the final price was less than quoted. Would definitely recommend Ballard’s Biz!”Ellen Hicks Colorado Springs, CO

We Get It
When Life Doesn’t Go to Plan
Most people don’t choose to move at the last minute. Something happened — and now you need to figure it out fast. We’ve been there with a lot of people in a lot of situations.
Your Mover Just Cancelled
It happens more than you’d think. A company overbooks and leaves you a voicemail the night before. You’ve got a truck reserved, boxes packed, and now you’re scrambling. We’ve stepped in for people in exactly this situation and gotten the move done the same day.
Your Lease Is Ending Sooner Than You Realized
You thought you had another week. You didn’t. Or your landlord isn’t extending. Either way, you need to be out — and fast. Give us a call and let’s figure out what we can do.
A Job Transfer or Military Orders
You got the news and now the clock is running. We understand that military timelines don’t bend, and neither do corporate relocation deadlines. We work around your schedule, not the other way around.
Your Closing Date Got Moved Up
You bought a house and the seller wants to close early. Great news — until you realize you have three days to be out of your current place. We can make that work.
A Relationship Ended and You Need to Move Your Things
You need out. You need your stuff. You don’t have time for a weeks-long booking process. We don’t ask questions — we just show up and help you move forward.
Your Plans Changed and There’s No Clean Timeline
Sometimes life just shifts. The reason doesn’t matter — what matters is that you need help today or tomorrow. That’s exactly what we’re here for.
Why Us
Why Ballard’s Works for Last-Minute Moves
Most moving companies can’t help you on short notice. That’s not a knock on them — it’s just the reality of large operations with booking systems and scheduled crews. We’re built differently.
Tanner Answers His Own Phone
When you call Ballard’s, you’re not navigating a phone tree or leaving a message with a dispatcher in another state. Tanner picks up, you explain what you need, and you get a straight answer about what’s possible. That’s the whole difference between a small local crew and a franchise.
No Minimum Booking Windows
Large companies often require 2–4 weeks of advance notice, especially in summer. We don’t have that constraint. We’ve moved people on Sundays, holidays, the same morning someone called. Short notice isn’t a problem — it’s just another Tuesday for us.
Being Labor-Only Is a Real Advantage Here
Because we’re a labor-only service, you can grab a U-Haul from any nearby location the same day — those trucks are almost always available on short notice. We meet you there or at your home, load everything up, and get moving. You don’t have to wait for us to have a truck free.
Setting Expectations
What “Last-Minute” Actually Means Here
We want to be honest with you about what we can and can’t promise — because we’d rather tell you the truth upfront than leave you hanging.
Same-Day Is Possible
Call early. If you reach us before 8am and we have crew available, there’s a real chance we can have someone at your door that morning or early afternoon. The earlier you call, the more likely it is. We won’t say yes if we can’t deliver — but we’ve made it happen more times than you’d expect.
Next-Day Is Almost Always Available
If you call today, there’s a very good chance we can be there tomorrow — even in the middle of peak summer season. Next-day is our sweet spot for last-minute moves. We’ll confirm your time window and stick to it.
We Work Every Day, 8am–8pm
Weekends, holidays, Sunday mornings — we’re available. If you call at 7am and need help starting at 9am, tell us that upfront and we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s doable. We’d rather manage expectations than make a promise we can’t keep. But the answer might still be yes.

People Who Needed Help Fast
“If there existed a ten star, Ballards would have it! Monica and the fellas were courteous, prompt and friendly. They were able to schedule my appointment next day — on a Sunday!!

FAQ
Common Questions About Last-Minute Moves
How much notice do you need for a same-day move?
The earlier you call, the better — but we’ve dispatched crews the same morning someone called. If you reach us before 8am, there’s a reasonable chance we can have someone at your door that day. Call 719-599-3657 as soon as you know you need help, and we’ll tell you honestly what’s possible.
What if it’s a weekend or holiday?
We work every day of the week, 8am–8pm — including weekends and holidays. Life doesn’t wait for a Tuesday, and neither do we. Weekend and holiday moves are treated exactly the same as any other day.
I need a truck too — can you help with that?
Yes. Our standard service is labor-only — the truck is a U-Haul, Penske, or Budget rental. Rent it yourself or we’ll handle it for you — and we provide the crew for all the loading and unloading. Ask when you call and we’ll sort out which works best.
Will last-minute cost more?
No. We don’t charge a premium for short notice. You’re already dealing with a stressful situation — we’re not going to make it worse by penalizing you for timing. Our affordable rates are straightforward and there are no hidden fees.
What if I’m not fully packed yet?
Let us know upfront and we’ll work around it. We can load what’s ready while you finish packing the rest. It’s not the ideal situation, but it’s not a dealbreaker either — we’ve done it plenty of times and we’ll get you out.
