Our crews are garaged within 30 minutes of Aloha and know the unincorporated Washington County rules that let us stage, load, and deliver faster than movers who treat this like Beaverton or Hillsboro. Call (855) 890-3455 for a binding written quote after a real in-home or video survey.
We’ve been moving families in and out of Aloha since 2006. The split-level ranches off Farmington Road, the 1980s apartment clusters near TV Highway, the cul-de-sacs that dead-end into wetlands - our crews have handled all of it. We don’t guess at access. We survey first, quote in writing, and send the same background-checked, uniformed crew we promised. No day labor. No number that doubles on the ramp.
Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Aloha’s Preferred Moving & Storage Company
Aloha sits in one of the highest-turnover relocation corridors in the Portland metro, sandwiched between Intel’s Hillsboro campuses and Nike’s Beaverton headquarters. We’ve moved hundreds of Silicon Forest transferees into and out of 97003 over the past 20 years. They come to us because they’ve already heard the horror stories - the quote that ballooned, the crew that vanished, the claim that went nowhere.
Our reputation here is built on one thing: we put it in writing. The binding quote after a real survey. The named pickup and delivery window. The 90-Day Done Right Promise - anything we moved or packed that isn’t right, one call brings a crew or a check, not a subcontractor, not a form in a black hole. We’ve maintained strong local standing across Washington County review platforms, with Aloha customers specifically citing our punctuality and our crews’ ability to navigate tight cul-de-sac staging without blocking neighbors in.
Response time to Aloha is same-day or next-day for estimates, and we typically book moves within a week during non-peak periods, two weeks during June-August and December corporate-relocation rushes. Our trucks are garaged in the metro area, not dispatched from Portland’s east side or sent down from Seattle. That matters when fog on US-26 delays long-haul connections and you need a local crew that can adjust.
We know which Aloha subdivisions have step-down living rooms that eat an extra hour of furniture maneuvering. We know which 1990s apartment complexes have exterior stairwells too narrow for a standard appliance dolly. That knowledge shows up in the survey, in the quote, and in the crew we send.
Our Moving & Storage Services in Aloha
Short-Term Storage
Corporate relocations into Aloha often come with gap timing - the Hillsboro start date doesn’t match the closing, or the Beaverton rental falls through. Our short-term storage fills that gap. We load at your origin, vault everything in our secure warehouse, and deliver when your Aloha place is ready. Monthly rates run $90-$400 depending on volume. No minimum stay. No access fees for scheduled retrievals.
For the Intel and Nike transferees we move regularly, this is the bridge between the old mortgage and the new lease. Everything stays on our inventory, under our full-value protection, until we unload at the final address.

Long-Term Storage
Some Aloha families need extended storage while they build on a lot in unincorporated Washington County, or while adult children sort out estate property from a 1970s ranch on SW 170th. Our long-term program keeps monthly rates flat for committed terms, with condition reports and photo documentation at intake. You’ll know exactly what you have and exactly what condition it’s in.
We don’t subcontract storage to third-party warehouses. Your items stay in our facility, on our systems, accessible by our staff. That matters when you call six months later and need one specific box located.

Climate-Controlled Storage
Aloha’s location in the Tualatin Valley means sustained humidity October through May, with valley fog that can keep moisture locked in for days. Standard storage lets that humidity work on wood furniture, leather, electronics, and paper. Our climate-controlled vaults hold steady temperature and humidity year-round.
This is the option we recommend for Aloha’s antique collections, wine shipments, musical instruments, and any heirloom furniture coming out of those 1970s-1990s ranch homes with original hardwood. The cost difference over standard storage is modest. The protection difference is substantial.

Storage-in-Transit
Long-distance moves into Aloha from outside Oregon frequently hit scheduling conflicts - the buyer’s mortgage delays, the rental isn’t ready, the corporate housing falls through. Storage-in-Transit holds your shipment in our warehouse for up to 180 days while the destination gets sorted.
Unlike container storage programs where your belongings sit in a metal box in a parking lot, SIT keeps everything in our vault system, padded, inventoried, and protected. When you’re ready, we deliver with the same crew standards as any local move: uniformed, background-checked, on our payroll, in the window we promised.

Trusted Brands We Service in Aloha
Our crews arrive with Milwaukee tool sets for disassembly and reassembly of complex furniture, Uline packing materials sized for everything from flat-screen TVs to glass tabletops, and Ryder-maintained trucks spec’d for tight residential access. For smaller shuttle loads from Aloha’s cul-de-sacs, we coordinate U-Haul equipment when the full-size rig can’t safely reach the door. We stock these materials locally, not ordered overnight from a central depot. That means when your survey turns up a grand piano in a split-level with a tight landing, we don’t improvise - we bring the right equipment the first time.
Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in Aloha Homes
- Rain-season mud tracked through lawn-level entries. Aloha’s wet season runs October through May, and most moves happen in it. Crews who don’t lay floor runners before the first box enters, or who wrap upholstered pieces inside the truck rather than at the door, leave hardwood and carpet damaged. We treat wet-weather protection as standard, not extra.
- Split-level staircases that swallow time and damage furniture. The step-down living rooms common in Aloha’s 1970s-1990s housing stock create tight turns where a standard sofa or dresser won’t pivot. We measure during survey and send crew with the experience - or the disassembly tools - to handle it without forcing.
- Cul-de-sac trucks blocking the only exit. The dense subdivision pattern off TV Highway and Farmington Road means full-size moving rigs often can’t reach front doors without creating a safety hazard. Local crews stage on the arterial and shuttle. Out-of-town crews block the street and hope no one complains.
- Underestimating apartment complex access. Many 1980s-1990s Aloha apartment buildings have narrow exterior stairwells and no elevator. A crew that plans for standard dolly access will struggle, delay, and potentially damage walls. We inspect access routes during estimate and plan equipment accordingly.

FAQs - Moving & Storage in Aloha
No. Because Aloha is unincorporated Washington County, there are no municipal moving permits or city parking-restriction processes to navigate. Washington County’s lighter-touch rules apply, which lets our crews stage and move faster than in nearby incorporated cities like Beaverton or Hillsboro. We still coordinate with homeowners associations where they exist, but there’s no city paperwork delaying your schedule. Call (855) 890-3455 to book without permit lead time.
We stage the truck on the nearest arterial and shuttle loads with smaller vehicles or hand trucks. We moved a family from a split-level on SW 175th Ave, a cul-de-sac off Farmington Rd, where the truck couldn’t reach the door. We staged on the arterial, shuttled with hand trucks, and protected the hardwood from rain with floor runners and truck-door wrapping. The whole house was done in 6 hours, beating the estimate. This is standard practice for our Aloha crews, not an improvisation.
Floor runners from truck to interior room, changed when saturated; padded wrapping of upholstered pieces at the truck door before they touch wet pathways; and shoe covers or boot removal protocols for crew entering carpeted areas. Aloha’s October-May rainy season means the majority of moves happen in wet conditions. We don’t treat this as weather-dependent - we treat it as the default. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll walk through your specific entry layout during the free estimate.
Yes, with the right equipment and crew sizing. Many 1980s-1990s Aloha apartment complexes have narrow exterior stairwells that defeat standard appliance dollies. We inspect access during survey and deploy stair-climbing equipment, additional crew, or disassembly as needed. The quote reflects the actual labor required - no surprise upcharge when the crew arrives and sees the stairs. Get your free estimate at (855) 890-3455.
Yes. Short-term and Storage-in-Transit options are designed for exactly this - the gap between Intel or Nike start dates and housing availability in Aloha.
