Fast, Reliable Moving & Storage Across Applewood
Moving and storage in Applewood, Colorado typically runs $450-$2,500 for local moves with monthly storage starting at $90, and most jobs can be scheduled with same-day or next-day availability when you call (855) 890-3455. We’re Milestone Moving Co., and we’ve been moving families and businesses since 2006. Our crews know Applewood’s foothill terrain, its curvilinear streets off West 20th Avenue and Alkire Street, and the split-level homes built into the hillside lots that make every move here different from flat-grid Denver.
Applewood isn’t a suburb you navigate with a standard moving plan. The neighborhood’s 1950s-through-1970s ranch and split-level homes sit on sloped lots with steep driveways, and the winding, non-grid street layout means a 26-foot truck often can’t reach the front door. We’ve learned that the hard way, and we’ve built our Applewood service around it. When you hire our Moving & Storage team, you get a crew that surveys your actual access before move day, not a dispatcher guessing from a map.
Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Applewood’s Preferred Moving & Storage Company
We’ve been serving Colorado’s Front Range for over 20 years, and Applewood has become one of our most frequent destinations. The ZIP code 80401 covers a compact but challenging area, and our dispatchers know which cul-de-sacs off 32nd Avenue and Independence Street require shuttle vehicles before the truck leaves our garage.
Our reputation here is built on showing up with the right equipment. Homeowners in Applewood have left us reviews specifically mentioning that we arrived with extra dollies, traction mats, and a backup plan for tight turns. We’re not the cheapest hourly rate you’ll find, and we don’t try to be. We’re the company that puts the quote in writing after a real in-person or video survey, then honors that number on the ramp, at delivery, and 90 days after.
Response time to Applewood is typically same-day or next-day for estimates, and we can often schedule moves within a week during non-peak periods. Peak summer months and late-spring weekends fill faster. Live support answers every call 24/7, including during your move and if anything needs attention afterward.
Our Moving & Storage Services in Applewood
Short-Term Storage
Short-term storage in Applewood runs $90-$250 per month and fits the gap between closing dates, renovation schedules, or temporary relocations. Many Applewood homeowners use this when they’re between the sale of a hillside ranch and the purchase of their next place, often because timing doesn’t line up cleanly. Your items stay in our secured facility, accessible by appointment, and we handle the loading and transport so you’re not renting a truck twice.
Long-Term Storage
Long-term storage for Applewood residents starts around $150 monthly and scales with volume and access frequency. If you’re downsizing from a bi-level home with decades of accumulation but not ready to part with everything, this keeps your belongings protected without the pressure of immediate decisions. We inventory every item, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise applies when we eventually deliver.
Climate-Controlled Storage
Climate-controlled storage in Applewood costs $200-$400 monthly and protects against the temperature swings and Chinook wind dryness that characterize foothill weather. Wooden furniture, musical instruments, and electronics stored in standard units elsewhere can crack or warp from rapid humidity changes. Our climate-controlled bays maintain stable conditions year-round, which matters more in Applewood’s exposed position than in sheltered Denver neighborhoods just east.
Storage-in-Transit
Storage-in-transit is our most-requested Applewood service for complex moves. When your new home isn’t ready, your belongings stay in our secured facility while you wait, with one binding quote covering the entire chain. No separate storage contracts, no surprise transfer fees. The price we quote is the price you pay, including the hold period. This is where our written guarantee matters most, because other companies often split the move and storage into separate bids that inflate mid-process.

Trusted Brands We Service in Applewood
Our crews handle moves involving U-Pack containers, Uline packing supplies, and Milwaukee tool-equipped disassembly regularly in Applewood. We keep Ryder shuttle trucks in our fleet specifically for the tight turns and steep grades that standard equipment can’t manage here. If your move involves a container delivery to a sloped driveway off West 26th Avenue, we’ve done it before and we know the angle limits. Parts, supplies, and backup equipment are stocked locally so a broken strap or missing wrench doesn’t stall your job.
Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in Applewood Homes
- Truck access failures on curvilinear streets. Booking a standard 26-foot long-haul truck for a hilly Applewood cul-de-sac often results in a no-go at the turn, forcing last-minute shuttle rental fees that weren’t in the original quote. We survey your street before move day and dispatch the right vehicle from the start.
- Bi-level interiors hiding extra labor. Applewood’s split-level and tri-level homes look single-story from the curb but contain half-flights of stairs between every living area. This slows furniture removal by 30%-50% compared to a true ranch, and crews that estimate by square footage alone arrive understaffed.
- Narrow side gates blocking backyard exits. Many Applewood homes have gates and paths sized for 1960s landscaping equipment. Large sectionals and appliances routinely can’t pass through, forcing a re-route through the front door and down a sloped driveway. That descent requires an extra crew member to control the dolly on the grade.
- Late-spring snowstorms on steep driveways. Applewood’s foothill exposure brings rapid weather changes that flatland Denver doesn’t see. A sunny April morning can turn icy by afternoon. We build buffer time into Applewood schedules and carry traction aids as standard equipment.

FAQs - Moving & Storage in Applewood
Applewood’s curvilinear, hillside street layout was designed for 1960s residential traffic, not modern 26-foot moving trucks. Many cul-de-sacs off 32nd Avenue and Alkire Street have turning radii too tight for large vehicles, and steep grades compound the problem. On a recent move at a split-level ranch on a steep cul-de-sac near 32nd Avenue, our crew had to park the 26-foot truck at the bottom of the drive and shuttle every item up a switchback path. The homeowner had a U-Haul rental, but the truck couldn’t make the turn, so we brought in a 10-foot box truck for the shuttle, adding an hour to the job. We used extra dollies and traction mats to manage the grade and protect the lawn. We survey your access before quoting so this isn’t a surprise. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule a free survey.
Applewood’s “one-story” ranches are often bi-level or tri-level designs built into hillside lots, with half-flights of stairs between living areas, bedrooms, and basements. The exterior looks single-story. The interior is not. Each half-flight adds carrying time, and steep driveways slow dolly work. A crew that estimates by exterior appearance arrives understaffed and runs over. We account for this in our survey. For an accurate time estimate, call (855) 890-3455.
Probably not. Many Applewood homes have narrow side gates and backyard paths sized for 1960s landscaping equipment, not modern sectionals. We routinely find that large pieces can’t exit through the back and must be angled out the front door and down a sloped driveway. That descent often requires an extra crew member to control the dolly on the grade. We’ll measure your access paths during our pre-move survey and tell you the exact route before we start. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule.
Applewood’s foothill position exposes it to rapid late-spring snowstorms and Chinook wind shifts that flatland Denver rarely sees. A sunny morning can turn icy by afternoon. We build buffer time into Applewood schedules and carry traction aids as standard equipment. If conditions become unsafe, we pause, protect your items in the truck or our storage facility, and resume when the driveway is passable. The price we quoted doesn’t change because of weather. Call (855) 890-3455 to discuss scheduling flexibility.
Yes. Storage-in-transit is available for any Applewood move with a binding quote that includes the entire chain: pickup, storage period, and final delivery. One contract, one number, no surprise transfer fees. Your items stay in our secured facility until your new home is ready. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers everything we pack and move. To add storage-in-transit to your Applewood move, call (855) 890-3455 for a free estimate.
