Milestone Moving Co. has been handling Cherryland’s unincorporated address quirks and tight post-war housing stock since 2006.

Call (855) 890-3455 for a free in-home or video estimate - we’ll put the number in writing before we load a single box.
Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Cherryland’s Preferred Moving & Storage Company
We’ve been serving unincorporated Alameda County communities for over 20 years, and Cherryland’s specific challenges - county permits, GPS confusion, and 1940s-era construction - are built into our dispatch protocols. Our crews don’t show up at Hayward City Hall asking for a parking permit that doesn’t exist. We call Alameda County Public Works directly, with your parcel number in hand, before the truck leaves our staging point.
Our Cherryland customers consistently mention one thing in follow-up calls: the crew arrived in the window we promised, in uniform, and the binding quote matched the final invoice. No ramp-up charges. No day laborers in unmarked trucks. The 90-Day Done Right Promise means if anything we packed or moved isn’t right, one call brings a crew or a check - not a claim form that disappears into a subcontractor’s queue.
Response time to Cherryland is typically same-day or next-day for estimates, with moves scheduled within a week during non-peak periods. During summer lease turnover and end-of-month crunches, we recommend booking two weeks out. Live support answers 24/7 at (855) 890-3455, including when you’re standing on a blocked Cherryland street wondering where your mover is.
Our Moving & Storage Services in Cherryland
Short-Term Storage
Cherryland’s tight housing timeline - closing on a bungalow sale while waiting for a San Leandro condo to clear escrow - is exactly why short-term storage exists. We warehouse your load for days or weeks, with the same crew handling pickup and delivery. No third-party handoffs. Your items stay in our inventory, accessible by appointment if you need something mid-storage. Typical short-term stays run 1-30 days, and monthly storage rates fall in our standard $90-$400 range depending on volume.
Long-Term Storage
Downsizing from a three-bedroom ranch on Hampton Road into a smaller place near Ashland? Long-term storage keeps your excess furniture, heirlooms, or seasonal gear secured for months or years. We inventory every item, photograph condition at intake, and store in our alarmed, sprinklered warehouse. Access requires 48-hour notice, and your first re-delivery is scheduled like any other Milestone move - binding quote, named crew, guaranteed window.
Climate-Controlled Storage
Cherryland’s East Bay location means summer days can hit 90°F and winter humidity spikes during November through March rains. Climate-controlled storage maintains 55-85°F and controlled humidity, protecting wooden furniture, musical instruments, electronics, and photographs from warping, mold, and condensation damage. If you’re storing between a rainy December closing and a February move-in, this isn’t an upsell - it’s the difference between a usable dining set and one with swollen joints. Climate-controlled units run toward the upper half of our $90-$400 monthly range.
Storage-in-Transit
The classic Cherryland scenario: your buyer wants to close December 15th, your new place in Fairview isn’t available until January 3rd. Storage-in-transit holds your loaded shipment in our warehouse during the gap, then delivers to your new address once you’re ready. One crew loads, one crew delivers - we never broker your shipment to a third-party warehouse. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers the entire chain, from first pickup to final placement.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cherryland
Our crews regularly handle disassembly and reassembly of furniture from major retailers and rental fleets common in Cherryland moves. We’ve moved U-Pack container loads into our warehouse for short-term holding, loaded and unloaded Budget Truck Rental vehicles for customers doing partial DIY, and packed out entire homes using Uline corrugated wardrobes and Milwaukee tool chests that need careful breakdown. We stock our trucks with moving blankets, floor runners, and door jamb protectors sized for the narrow 28-inch interior doorways common in Cherryland’s 1950s bungalows - because a standard 36-inch pad won’t help when your grandmother’s china cabinet has to come apart in the hallway.
Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in Cherryland Homes
- County permit confusion blocks the truck. Cherryland has no city government, so the “City of Hayward” permit office will turn you away. Only Alameda County Public Works can issue temporary no-parking zones for moving trucks. Out-of-area movers routinely lose half a day learning this.
- GPS sends crews to the wrong city entirely. Cherryland addresses auto-populate as Hayward or San Leandro in most dispatch systems. We’ve had competitors call from a San Leandro cul-de-sac wondering why the house number doesn’t exist, while the customer waits on Ruus Avenue with a driveway full of packed boxes.
- Narrow driveways force remote parking. Post-WWII bungalows on small lots often can’t fit a 26-foot truck. That means longer carries, more time, and more crew - all of which we account for in the binding quote, not as a surprise surcharge on move day.
- Winter rains turn side yards into mud traps. Cherryland’s unpaved access paths and soft lawns - common on older properties - can sink a loaded dolly or truck wheels during November through March. We carry plywood ground protection as standard equipment during wet months.

FAQs - Moving & Storage in Cherryland
Yes, and you must apply through Alameda County Public Works - not the City of Hayward, which will turn you away because Cherryland is unincorporated. The county requires advance notice for temporary no-parking zones, and they issue permits by parcel number, not street address. We handle this call as part of our pre-move survey. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll walk you through the exact parcel information we need.
Cherryland is unincorporated, so major mapping databases assign it to the nearest incorporated city - usually Hayward or San Leandro. This causes missed arrival windows when out-of-area movers rely on GPS alone. We verify every Cherryland address against the county assessor’s parcel map before dispatch, and we call you directly the morning of the move to confirm the exact cross streets. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule - we’ll confirm your real location, not the GPS guess.
Yes. Cherryland’s post-WWII bungalows are our daily work, not an exception. We disassemble bed frames, remove refrigerator doors, and angle dressers through 28-inch openings routinely. For garages with low clearance, we simply don’t use them - we carry through the front door with proper floor protection. The time and technique required is built into your binding quote after we see the space. Call (855) 890-3455 for a free in-home or video survey.
It depends on what you’re storing and for how long. Cherryland’s winter rainy season brings humidity spikes from November through March, and summer days can exceed 85°F. Wooden furniture, musical instruments, electronics, and photographs benefit from stable 55-85°F conditions. For a two-week gap between closings, standard storage may suffice. For storage spanning a wet winter or hot summer, climate control prevents warping, mold, and condensation damage. Monthly rates run $90-$400 depending on volume and type. Call (855) 890-3455 to discuss your specific timeline.
Yes. Storage-in-transit is designed exactly for this - we load, warehouse for your specified days, then deliver to your new address. One crew, one company, no third-party warehouse. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers the entire period. Typical short-term stays run 1-30 days at standard monthly storage rates prorated by the week. Call (855) 890-3455 to reserve your dates - Cherryland’s end-of-month closing crunch books up fast.
