Fast, Reliable Moving & Storage Across Burbank
Moving and storage in Burbank runs $450-$2,500 for local moves and $90-$400 per month for storage, with same-week scheduling available most of the year. Milestone Moving Co. coordinates dispatch from our Chicago office and fields crews directly in Burbank, including the flatland bungalow neighborhoods and the hillside streets above Glenoaks Canyon. Call (855) 890-3455 for a binding written quote after a real in-home or video survey - the number doesn’t move on delivery day.
We’ve learned Burbank’s streets and housing stock the hard way: the 1940s-1960s single-family homes with detached garages and tight side-yard gates, the triple-digit summer heat that starts climbing by 8 a.m., and the narrow, single-lane grades in the Verdugo foothills where a 26-foot truck simply won’t fit. That local knowledge saves you from discovering a truck-access problem when your loaded container is already at the curb.
Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Burbank’s Preferred Moving & Storage Company
We’ve been in continuous operation since 2006, and our Moving & Storage team has handled enough Burbank moves to know the difference between a flatland bungalow off Cicero Avenue and a hillside place near the Verdugo Mountains foothills. The former needs careful truck positioning on a short driveway apron; the latter needs a shuttle plan or container staging, period.
Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and on our own payroll - never day labor sourced from a text message. One crew handles your job start to finish. The price we quote is the price you pay: a binding written quote after a real survey, backed by our Move-Right Guarantee. If anything we moved or packed isn’t right, our 90-Day Done Right Promise brings a crew or a check - not a subcontractor, not a claim form that disappears.
A live person answers our phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Before your move, during the move, and if something needs fixing after. That’s not a perk; it’s how accountability works.
Our Moving & Storage Services in Burbank
Storage-in-Transit
Burbank’s entertainment economy creates a moving rhythm unlike anywhere else. The summer production hiatus (July-August) and the December-January break drive two distinct peak seasons, with studio employees and freelance crew relocating between projects. Storage-in-transit bridges the gap when your next lease or production schedule doesn’t line up with your move-out date. We hold your household in secure containers, then deliver when you’re ready - one binding quote covers the whole chain. For prop masters and editors with gear-heavy households, this is often the only way to handle a gap between gigs without paying for two apartments.
Climate-Controlled Storage
Burbank sits in a Valley hot spot that routinely records some of the highest summer temperatures in the greater LA basin. Triple-digit days from June through September are standard. Climate-controlled storage keeps temperature and humidity within a stable range, protecting audio equipment, server racks, professional monitors, and wardrobe archives from heat damage and warping. If you’re storing electronics, leather, or anything with glue or finish, the extra cost pays for itself the first time you don’t have to replace a warped cabinet or a fried hard drive.
Container Storage
We recently coordinated a long-distance move for a film editor from the hillside streets near Glenoaks Canyon in the Verdugo foothills. Because the narrow, single-lane grade couldn’t accommodate our 26-foot truck, we staged a shuttle vehicle at a lower point and used container storage to hold her server racks and prop collection until her new space was ready - protecting sensitive gear from the summer heat. Container storage gives us flexibility in tight-access situations and keeps your items sealed and inventoried from pickup through final delivery.
Short-Term and Long-Term Storage
Short-term storage covers gaps of a few days to a few weeks - between closing dates, during renovations, or while waiting for a production schedule to firm up. Long-term storage handles extended holds, with monthly rates from $90-$400 depending on volume and whether you need climate control. Both options include detailed inventory logging and full-value protection on everything we pack.

Trusted Equipment & Partners We Use in Burbank
Our crews load with Uline moving supplies and Milwaukee power tools for disassembly and reassembly of furniture and equipment racks. For container transport and shuttle operations in tight hillside access zones, we coordinate with Ryder for appropriately sized vehicles. We don’t show up hoping someone has the right gear; we spec it during the survey and bring what the job demands.
Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in Burbank Homes
- Truck access surprises on hillside streets. The north Burbank hillside area near the Verdugo Mountains foothills adds steep, narrow streets where standard 26-foot moving trucks cannot safely operate. We always do a truck-access scout the day before rather than discovering the problem with a loaded vehicle at the curb.
- Heat damage to sensitive equipment. Triple-digit days from June through September force experienced local movers to schedule start times before 7 a.m. Electronics, audio gear, and server racks left in a non-climate-controlled environment - even for a short hold - risk failure.
- Underestimating storage needs during production breaks. The December-January and summer production hiatuses create predictable demand spikes. Clients who don’t book storage-in-transit early can find themselves without options when every freelancer in town is between projects.
- Tight side-yard gates on flatland bungalows. The 1940s-1960s housing stock throughout Burbank’s flatland neighborhoods features modest lots with detached garages. Moving bulky furniture or equipment racks through narrow gates takes planning, padding, and the right crew - not force.
Pricing for Moving & Storage in Burbank, IL
Here’s what moving and storage costs in the Burbank market:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Local Move | $450 - $2,500 |
| Long Distance Move | $2,500 - $9,000 |
| Storage (Monthly) | $90 - $400 |
Your actual cost depends on volume, access complexity, and whether you need climate control or storage-in-transit. A hillside move requiring shuttle service runs higher than a flatland bungalow with driveway parking. Every full-service move includes Free Wardrobe Boxes, a Free In-Home or Video Estimate, and eligibility for $250 off moves over $2,500. The quote we give you after survey is binding - it does not rise on move day, on the ramp, or at delivery. Call (855) 890-3455 for your exact number; estimates are free.

FAQs - Moving & Storage in Burbank
Schedule your start time before 7 a.m. Burbank’s triple-digit summer heat builds fast, and by mid-morning pavement temperatures stress both crew and equipment. We plan loading sequences so sensitive electronics and audio gear travel in the coolest part of the day. Call (855) 890-3455 to lock in an early slot - they fill fast in July and August.
Probably not. Streets in the Verdugo foothills section of north Burbank can dead-end or narrow to single-lane grades where a 26-foot truck won’t safely operate. We do a truck-access scout the day before and stage a shuttle vehicle from a lower point if needed. This adds cost but prevents a much worse problem: a loaded truck stuck or unable to turn around. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll survey the access during your free estimate.
We pack and load your household into sealed containers, hold them in our secure facility, then deliver to your next address when your production schedule or lease lines up. One binding quote covers pickup, storage, and final delivery - no daily rate surprises. For Burbank’s entertainment workers, this bridges the gaps between the summer hiatus and December-January breaks. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule around your production window.
Yes. Burbank’s summer temperatures regularly hit triple digits, and heat warps cabinets, degrades adhesives, and destroys hard drives. Climate-controlled storage maintains stable temperature and humidity, protecting professional gear that would be ruined in a standard warehouse. The monthly cost difference is small compared to replacing a single failed server. Call (855) 890-3455 for a climate-controlled quote.
Yes. We pack monitors with custom crating or heavy-duty padding, disassemble and reassemble editing desks and rack mounts, and transport server equipment in climate-controlled vehicles when needed. Our crews are trained to handle professional gear - not just furniture. Full-value protection applies to everything we pack. Call (855) 890-3455 to walk through your setup during the free survey.
