Castle Rock is one of the fastest-growing cities in Colorado, and it’s not hard to see why. Douglas County, a landmark rock formation rising out of the center of town, and a location that splits the difference between Denver and Colorado Springs on I-25. Families come for the space, the schools, and the newer construction. The Meadows, Cobblestone Ranch, Crystal Valley, Terrain, and Plum Creek have all grown fast. We make the run up from Colorado Springs regularly enough to know every one of them.
Castle Rock homes tend to be newer and larger than average — open floor plans, high ceilings, primary suites on the second floor. That means bigger furniture and more of it. An experienced crew plans before anything moves: where the sectional has to turn, how the king frame comes down the stairs without taking out the drywall, how to pack the truck so nothing shifts on the drive. That’s the difference 10 years of experience makes on a job like this.
A rental truck runs $19.95–$49.95 depending on size. Our rate is $175/hr with a 2-hour minimum. Most Castle Rock moves finish in 2–3 hours. Run those numbers against a full-service quote for the same job and the gap is real — often $500 or more.
We travel to Castle Rock from Colorado Springs — no drive-time charges, no travel fees. The rate we quote is the rate you pay. Nothing added when the job is done.

The Smarter Way to Move
Why Castle Rock 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 for the crew that does the work, not a full-service company’s overhead.
For most Castle Rock homes, going labor-only cuts the total cost 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. Castle Rock homes tend to be larger than average — more furniture, more square footage — which makes the savings even more meaningful.
A lot of Castle Rock moves are people coming from Denver who want more space, better schools, and a lower price per square foot. We understand that move. We also do the reverse — people heading back to the city. Either direction, we know I-25 and we know Douglas County. We show up on time and we work until the job is done.
Whether you’re moving a two-bedroom condo or a five-bedroom in The Meadows, the model is the same: our experienced, professional crew, your truck, no hidden fees, no surprises at the end of the job.
What Customers Say
Reviews from Castle Rock Customers
“Moved from The Meadows to a new place in Terrain and Ballard’s made it completely painless. Two guys, showed up on time, worked straight through without stopping. Labor-only saved us hundreds. Would use them again without question.”
