Serving Breckenridge, CO
Ballard’s is a labor-only moving company based in Colorado Springs. Arrange for a U-Haul, Penske, or Budget truck — or let us handle the rental, typically $19.95–$49.95 depending on size. Our crew does all the loading and unloading. No truck markup. No full-service overhead. Just the labor, billed at a straight hourly rate with a two-hour minimum.
Breckenridge is Summit County — nearly 10,000 feet above sea level and one of the most expensive real estate markets in Colorado. The town draws a distinct mix: seasonal workers who arrive each fall for ski season, vacation homeowners managing properties from out of state, and full-time residents who chose the mountain life deliberately. Moves here are high-stakes. We treat them that way.
Mountain moves are different from Front Range moves. Roads into Breckenridge carry weight restrictions and tight turns that require planning before the truck ever leaves. Many properties sit on steep driveways, private roads, or have limited staging space at the curb. Altitude changes how a crew holds up over a long haul. We work at elevation regularly, we plan the route and approach before we arrive, and we bring the right equipment for the specific property — not a generic setup.
In a town where every service comes at a premium, labor-only is the move that actually saves money. Arrange for a U-Haul or let us handle it — either way, you pay our crew at $240 per hour with a two-hour minimum. Two hours puts you at $350. Most moves wrap in two to three. A full-service company running a truck up the mountain will cost significantly more before a single box leaves the floor.
We make the drive from Colorado Springs to Breckenridge. No drive-time charges. No travel fees on your invoice. We’re licensed and insured in Colorado. The rate we quote is the rate you pay — no adjustments at the end, no surprise line items when the job wraps.

The Smarter Way to Move
Everything in Breckenridge costs more. Moving doesn’t have to. Full-service moving companies that operate at altitude charge premium rates for the truck, the fuel, the mountain surcharge, and the crew — often before a single box is lifted. Labor-only moving removes the layers. 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 professional crew doing the actual loading and unloading.
Breckenridge sees two distinct moving seasons: the fall, when seasonal workers arrive for ski season, and spring, when many of them head out. We work both. Seasonal moves are often smaller — a furnished room, a car full of gear, a one-bedroom’s worth of essentials — but the labor-only model works just as well for those as it does for a full family relocation.
Vacation homeowners also use Ballard’s to move furniture in and out of Summit County properties — staging a home for sale, bringing in new furnishings, or clearing out a property before a renovation. We handle it with the same professionalism we bring to every full residential move.
Condo or mountain home, ski season or summer — the model is the same: our experienced crew, your truck, no hidden fees, and no surprises when the job wraps up.
