We’ve moved families into the townhome clusters off McCulloch Road, packed professors heading to sabbatical from Waterford Lakes, and stored dorm furniture for UCF students between leases. Alafaya’s not a generic Orlando suburb to us. We know the 32826 ZIP, the afternoon thunderstorm pattern that hits between 2 and 4 PM, and the enforced 2-hour move-in windows at the student complexes along Alafaya Trail. That local knowledge keeps your move on schedule when a crew that doesn’t know the area would be turned away at the gate.

Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Alafaya’s Preferred Moving & Storage Company

We’ve been moving Alafaya residents since 2006, when Dale Whitmore founded Milestone Moving Co. In nearly 20 years of continuous operation, we’ve learned that Alafaya moves differently than the rest of Orlando. The density of 3- and 4-story student housing, the narrow stairwells in 1990s townhome clusters, and the biannual surge of 60,000+ UCF students changing addresses means a standard moving playbook fails here.

Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and on our own payroll - never day labor sourced from a text message. They arrive in fully stocked branded trucks with padded dollies sized for tight stairwells and tarps ready for sudden storms. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every item we move or pack: one call brings a crew or a check, not a subcontractor or a claim form that disappears.

A live person answers our phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - before you book, while the truck is loaded, and if something needs attention after delivery. We don’t route you to a call center in another state.

Our Moving & Storage Services in Alafaya

Short-Term Storage

Short-term storage in Alafaya typically runs $90-$400 monthly depending on unit size and features. We see the most demand in late May, when UCF’s semester ends and students need 30-90 days to bridge the gap between leases. Our short-term units are accessible six days a week, and we handle the pickup and redelivery with the same crew who loaded your items - no handoffs to third-party warehouses. If you’re between closings on a Waterford Lakes townhome or waiting for a new build in Eastwood to finish, we can store your household and deliver to the new address on your timeline.

Long-Term Storage

Alafaya residents use our long-term storage for job relocations, military deployments, and estate transitions. The price we quote is the price you pay - no rate jumps after six months, no access fees buried in the contract. Everything is inventoried with photo documentation at pickup, and you can request condition reports by phone or email. For items stored longer than a year, we recommend climate-controlled units given Central Florida’s humidity and the mold risk to upholstered furniture and paper archives.

Climate-Controlled Storage

Climate-controlled storage in Alafaya is not a luxury - it’s protection against real conditions. Central Florida’s humidity averages 74% annually, and summer temperatures in non-climate units can exceed 95°F. We’ve retrieved warped vinyl records, mildewed leather sofas, and swollen wooden furniture from standard storage in the 32826 area. Our climate-controlled units maintain 55-80°F and 30-50% relative humidity, monitored continuously. Monthly rates run $90-$400 depending on unit size. We especially recommend climate control for antique furniture, musical instruments, electronics, and important documents stored during Alafaya’s steamy summer months.

Storage-in-Transit

Storage-in-transit bridges the gap when your new Alafaya home isn’t ready but your old one is sold. Maybe the closing on your Union Park purchase got pushed back, or your rental near UCF fell through at the last minute. We load your household, store it in our secured facility, and deliver when you have keys in hand. The same crew handles pickup and delivery. Your items stay on our inventory, not commingled with another family’s. And the 90-Day Done Right Promise still applies - if anything we packed shows damage when we unload, we make it right with a crew or a check.

Trusted Brands We Service in Alafaya

We move pianos, safes, and specialty items that other Alafaya movers decline. Our crews are trained on Milwaukee hand trucks and dollies rated for tight-turn stairwells, and we stock Uline moving blankets and protective materials sized for everything from studio apartments to four-bedroom townhomes. For clients who’ve rented a Budget Truck Rental or U-Pack container and need loading help, our labor-only crews show up in uniform with the same equipment we use on full-service moves - padded straps, door jamb protectors, and floor runners. No improvisation. No “we’ll figure it out when we get there.”

Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in Alafaya Homes

• Crews miss the 2-hour move-in windows at student complexes and get locked out of loading areas. Several UCF-area properties along Alafaya Trail and University Boulevard assign specific time slots tied to unit key activation. Arrive at 10:05 for a 10:00 AM window, and the loading dock is closed. We confirm these windows in writing with every client and build our route to arrive 15 minutes early, not on time.
• Heat and afternoon thunderstorms soak unprotected furniture and cause lightning delays. August move-in season coincides with Central Florida’s most brutal weather. Temperatures hit 95°F by noon, and storms build between 2 and 4 PM with little warning. We schedule heavy lifting for early morning and tarp every load before it leaves the truck. No exceptions.
• Movers underestimate narrow stairwells and elevator reservation systems in 3-4 story apartment buildings. The 1990s-2010s construction that dominates Alafaya’s housing stock includes tight switchback stairs and single elevators shared by 200+ units. We measure doorways and stairwell clearances during our pre-move survey, and we book elevator reservations ourselves when the building allows.
• Students store furniture in non-climate units and find mold three months later. That $60 standard unit seemed like savings until the leather couch grew white fuzz. We explain humidity risks upfront and document our climate-controlled recommendation in writing.
