Founded in Hollywood, Florida in 2006, Milestone has spent over 20 years moving families and businesses across South Florida. Dale Whitmore built this company on one principle: the number we quote is the number you pay – no ramp-day surprises, no hostage-load tactics, no strangers in unmarked shirts showing up at your front door.
- Binding written quote after a real in-person or video survey – the price does not move on move day
- 90-Day Done Right Promise – anything we moved or packed that isn’t right is resolved with a crew or a check, not a claim form
- Background-checked, uniformed movers on Milestone’s own payroll – never gig labor or day workers
- Live phone support, 24/7 – before your move, during it, and if you have a question 60 days after delivery
- Free Wardrobe Boxes on every full-service move, plus $250 Off moves over $2,500
Fast, Local Moving
When you search moving near me, “near” actually matters. Our trucks are garaged in the metro we serve, which means we’re not driving in from two counties over before your day even starts. For most Fort Lauderdale-area addresses, we can have a crew to you the same day or next morning – and we call before we knock, so you’re not standing at the window guessing.
South Florida traffic is its own variable. I-95 through Fort Lauderdale, US-1, and the Turnpike all behave differently at 8 a.m. than at noon, and our crews know the difference. We build that knowledge into the schedule we give you, and we hold to the window we promised. If something shifts, a live person calls you – not an automated text.
For local moves within Broward County or into Miami-Dade, most jobs are completed in a single day. For long-distance moves leaving South Florida, we’ll walk you through a realistic timeline before anything is signed.
Serving Fort Lauderdale and the Towns Around It
Fort Lauderdale sits at the center of one of the most mobile metro areas in Florida. Families relocate between cities constantly – sometimes a few exits up I-95, sometimes across the county line. Wherever your move starts or ends, Milestone’s service area covers it.
Miami and Miami Gardens
Moving between Miami and Fort Lauderdale is one of the most common runs in our schedule – roughly 30 miles up I-95 or the Turnpike, but a move that still deserves a proper survey and a binding quote. We also serve Miami Gardens, where US-441 corridor traffic requires crew routing that accounts for school-zone timing and peak-hour backups near Calder Casino. Both cities fall within our standard service window.
Hialeah
Hialeah’s dense residential neighborhoods and narrow interior streets require movers who know what they’re getting into before the truck leaves the yard. Our crews have worked Hialeah for years and know the difference between a job that needs the smaller straight truck and one that can use the full rig. We’ll figure that out during the survey – before you’re charged for a vehicle that doesn’t fit the block.
Hollywood and Miramar
Milestone was founded in Hollywood in 2006, so this is home territory. We know the Young Circle area, the barrier-island neighborhoods off A1A, the HOA-governed communities in Miramar with strict elevator-reservation policies, and the new construction corridors along Pines Boulevard. If your building has a loading-dock rule or a move-in time restriction, we’ve almost certainly dealt with it before. Hollywood moves get the same binding quote and 90-Day Done Right Promise as any other job on our schedule.
Pembroke Pines and Davie
Pembroke Pines is one of the fastest-growing cities in Broward County, and a significant share of our residential volume runs through its master-planned communities and Century Village buildings. Senior moves require extra time, extra care, and crew members who communicate clearly – that’s part of our standard training, not an add-on. Davie, just to the north, mixes equestrian properties on large lots with dense apartment complexes near Nova Southeastern – two entirely different logistics challenges. We survey both before we quote either.
Coral Springs and Pompano Beach
The northwest Broward corridor – Coral Springs and Pompano Beach – is well within our service range. Coral Springs’ grid layout makes scheduling predictable; Pompano’s coastal neighborhoods require parking coordination that we handle in advance, not the morning of. Both cities are easy same-day or next-day booking territory depending on your timeline.
Boca Raton
Boca Raton is the northern edge of our core service area. Moves in and out of Boca – whether from a townhome near Mizner Park or an office suite along Glades Road – are handled exactly like every other Milestone job: surveyed, quoted in writing, and backed by the 90-Day Done Right Promise. The drive from our yard adds travel time we disclose upfront, not on the invoice.

What You Should Know Before Hiring Any Mover Near Fort Lauderdale
The Fort Lauderdale area has no shortage of moving companies, and some of them operate in ways that have given the whole industry a bad name. A few things to check before you book anyone:
- Ask whether the quote is binding or a non-binding estimate – a non-binding estimate can legally increase on delivery
- Confirm the crew works directly for the company, not sourced through a staffing app the morning of your move
- Find out who handles a claim if something is damaged – a real mover resolves it internally, not through a third-party form that takes months
- Verify the company has a physical address and trucks garaged in the area, not just a phone number routed to a broker
Milestone covers all of these points before you sign anything. Our packing services, piano and specialty moving, and office and commercial moving all operate under the same binding-quote, own-crew standard. If you’re also weighing moving and storage options, we can walk you through what makes sense for your timeline.
Moving Near Me – Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can Milestone get to me in Fort Lauderdale?
For most Fort Lauderdale addresses, we can schedule a crew within 24 to 48 hours – and same-day availability exists on days when our schedule allows it. Call (855) 890-3455 and a live person will give you an honest answer about what’s open, not a booking form that disappears into a queue.
Do you serve Pompano Beach and Coral Springs, not just Fort Lauderdale?
Yes. Pompano Beach, Coral Springs, Hollywood, Miramar, Pembroke Pines, Davie, Miami, Hialeah, Miami Gardens, and Boca Raton are all part of our standard service area. If you’re outside these cities, call us anyway – we’ll tell you directly whether we can cover your address rather than take your deposit and figure it out later.
What does a move in Fort Lauderdale typically cost?
A local residential move in Fort Lauderdale generally runs between $800 and $2,500, depending on home size, distance, floor access, and whether you need packing. That range is a starting reference – the only number that matters for your move is the binding written quote we give you after a real survey of your home. Moves over $2,500 qualify for $250 Off. Call (855) 890-3455 for a free estimate and you’ll have a binding number in writing before anything is scheduled.
Can I reach someone after hours if something comes up during or after my move?
Yes. Milestone has a live person answering the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – including weekends and holidays. That line covers pre-move questions, day-of logistics, and post-delivery concerns under the 90-Day Done Right Promise. You won’t hit a voicemail box or a ticketing system when something needs to be resolved.
If you’re ready to get a binding written quote for your Fort Lauderdale-area move, call (855) 890-3455 or request a free in-home or video estimate online. Dale Whitmore and the Milestone crew have been doing this since 2006, and the number we give you is the number you’ll see on the final invoice.

What Our Customers Say
"The move itself was quick and nothing was broken. They did arrive right at the back end of the arrival window, which pushed the unload into the evening and cost me the freight elevator slot at the other building. Dispatch called ahead to warn me, so at least I was not sitting there guessing."
- Rami Mansour"Careful crew and a fair price for a long day. One box got labeled for the wrong room and I spent an evening hunting for the kitchen things, which had gone into a bedroom closet. Small thing across a hundred boxes, and worth knowing they label as they load."
- Jessica Wong"They gave me a two hour window and the truck was in the driveway inside the first thirty minutes. Same crew that was named on the paperwork, all in uniform, all actual employees rather than whoever answered a listing that morning. That mattered to me more than the price did."
- Darnell Whitfield
