We’re Milestone Moving Co., and we’ve been handling relocations into this Research Triangle boomtown since 2006.

Call (855) 890-3455 for a binding written quote after a real in-home or video survey.
Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Apex’s Preferred Moving & Storage Company
Apex isn’t a generic Raleigh suburb. It’s one of the fastest-growing small cities in America, and that growth has created a moving market unlike most others. Our Moving & Storage team has learned that the hard way, through two decades of dispatching trucks to addresses that don’t exist on GPS yet and hand-carrying pianos through kitchen doors on streets laid out before the Model T.
We recently moved a family out of a 1905 bungalow on Peak Street, where the only access was a narrow alley. Our crew had to hand-carry a vintage upright piano, which we wrapped and padded, through the kitchen door - no ramp, no sidewalk. That job took twice as long as a typical move, but our long-distance team had the gear and know-how for it.
That experience is why Apex residents call us back. The price we quote is the price you pay. One crew, start to finish - background-checked, in uniform, on our payroll. On time, in the window we gave you, and we call before we knock. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if anything we moved or packed isn’t right, one call brings a crew or a check - not a subcontractor, not a claim form that disappears.
Our Moving & Storage Services in Apex
Climate-Controlled Storage
Apex’s Piedmont summers routinely push past 90°F with dew points that feel like breathing through a wet blanket from June through September. Heat warps hardwood furniture. It cooks electronics in sealed containers. Our climate-controlled facility keeps your belongings between 55°F and 80°F year-round, with humidity monitoring that matters when you’re storing antique furniture from a Peak Street bungalow or sensitive equipment from a Research Triangle job transfer. Every unit is inside our secured warehouse, not a row of outdoor metal boxes baking in the Carolina sun.
Long-Term Storage
The dominant move type in Apex isn’t a local shuffle - it’s a full 3-4 bedroom household arriving from Boston, Chicago, or the West Coast, often with a gap between closing dates or a new build that isn’t quite finished. Our long-term storage runs month-to-month with no long-term contract lock-in, because we’ve learned that construction delays in Apex’s booming subdivisions don’t follow anyone’s timeline. Your belongings stay in one place, in one vault, with one inventory. When your new home on Salem Street or in Jordan Lake West is ready, we deliver - same crew standards, same binding quote protection.
Storage-in-Transit
Storage-in-transit is built for the Apex relocation pattern: your household loads in one state, holds here while you house-hunt or wait for a certificate of occupancy, then delivers to your new address. We warehouse your shipment in our facility, not a third-party terminal, and the same binding quote covers the entire move - no surprise storage fees, no re-weighing at destination. This matters when you’re moving into a brand-new subdivision where the street name was recorded at the permit stage but hasn’t reached Google Maps yet. Our drivers pull subdivision plat maps or call the builder’s on-site office before rolling a truck into an unfamiliar new section.
Short-Term Storage
Sometimes you just need breathing room. Renovation delays on your new place off Kelly Road. Staging a home for sale in Haddon Hall. Our short-term storage fills the gap, available by the week with the same vault-level security and inventory control we use for long-term customers. Load once, store, deliver when you’re ready.

Trusted Brands We Service in Apex
Our crews handle moves involving U-Pack containers for customers doing hybrid relocations, and we stock Uline moving supplies - wardrobe boxes, dish packs, mattress bags - for Apex customers who want professional-grade materials for self-packing. We’ve also coordinated with Budget Truck Rental for local load-and-go jobs where a customer needs labor only. Our trucks carry Milwaukee hand tools and dollies for breakdown and reassembly of furniture in the field, which matters when you’re navigating a two-story foyer in a new subdivision or a tight kitchen doorway in a historic bungalow.
Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in Apex Homes
- Underestimating tight turning radii on Peak Street’s narrow lots. A 26-foot moving truck can’t swing into a driveway that doesn’t exist. We’ve seen competitors scrape siding, block traffic, and rack up hourly charges while figuring out what we plan for in advance.
- Arriving without hand trucks or crew strength for long carries. Historic bungalows on narrow lots have no garage access and sometimes no sidewalk. A crew that expects a standard suburban rollout will fail here. We survey first, then staff accordingly.
- Relying on GPS in new subdivisions. Apex’s construction pipeline moves faster than map databases. A truck rolls up to an empty cul-de-sac because the street isn’t on maps yet, delaying the move and racking up hourly charges. Our local crews verify routes with plat maps or builder contacts before dispatch.
- Ignoring summer heat damage during storage or transit. Apex’s combination of high temperature and humidity can warp wood, delaminate veneers, and destroy electronics left in non-climate-controlled conditions. We flag this risk explicitly and offer climate-controlled options for anything that can’t tolerate a sealed truck in July.

FAQs - Moving & Storage in Apex
Yes. We’ve moved pianos and specialty items out of Peak Street bungalows with alley-only access, no driveways, and doorways too narrow for standard dollies. Our crew surveys the route first, then brings hand-carry straps, padded boards, and the muscle to do it right. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule a free in-home assessment - estimates are free, and we’ll tell you exactly how we’ll handle your specific access before you book.
No. Apex’s construction pipeline regularly outpaces map databases, so our dispatch team verifies new addresses with subdivision plat maps or direct contact with the builder’s on-site office before the truck rolls. We confirm the route, not just the address. If your closing is on a hard deadline, that preparation matters - call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll walk you through our verification process.
Yes, and we recommend it for August arrivals. Apex’s summer heat and humidity can damage wood furniture, electronics, and artwork left in standard storage. Our climate-controlled units maintain stable temperature and humidity until your new home is ready. Your long-distance quote can include storage-in-transit with climate control - ask when you call (855) 890-3455 for your binding estimate.
Most long-distance moves into Apex deliver within 2-14 days of pickup, depending on origin distance and whether you choose expedited or consolidated service. We give you a named pickup and delivery window in writing, not a vague range. For exact timing from your specific origin, call (855) 890-3455 - we’ll build a schedule that matches your closing or lease start date.
We monitor conditions closely and will not send a crew onto glazed subdivision streets or untreated driveways - it’s a safety risk to our people and your belongings. If freezing rain hits Apex, we contact you immediately to reschedule into the next available window at no penalty. Our 24/7 live support means you reach a person, not a recording, when weather disrupts your plan. Call (855) 890-3455 if you see ice in the forecast and want to discuss options.
