Call (855) 890-3455 for a free in-home or video estimate - the quote is binding, and it won’t change on move day.
Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Marina del Rey’s Preferred Moving & Storage Company
We’ve been in continuous operation since 2006, and our crews have handled hundreds of moves in Marina del Rey’s unique environment - the tight freight elevators of 1960s towers, the cargo-van shuttles required at Channel-side buildings, and the tide-synced dock moves that inland movers simply don’t encounter. Our reputation here is built on showing up in uniform, in the window we promised, with a binding written quote that holds.
Marina del Rey customers rate us highly for accountability - the 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 claim form that disappears. Response time to Marina del Rey is typically same-day for estimates and next-day for most moves, with live phone support 24/7 before, during, and after your job.
We know the local rules that trip up out-of-town crews: LA County’s 48-hour freight elevator reservation requirement, the weekday-only 8 a.m.-5 p.m. moving windows enforced by most Admiralty Way property managers, and which buildings ban 26-foot box trucks entirely. That knowledge saves you fines, delays, and the cost of last-minute crane rentals.
Our Moving & Storage Services in Marina del Rey
Short-Term Storage
Short-term storage in Marina del Rey typically runs $90-$250 per month and fits the gap between closing dates, lease overlaps, or renovation schedules. We see this need constantly in the 90292 towers, where a Friday move-out and Monday move-in leaves families stranded with a household of furniture and nowhere to put it. Our units are accessible by appointment, and we can retrieve specific items if you need your dining set before the rest. The price we quote is the price you pay - no storage-access fees added after move-in.
Long-Term Storage
Long-term storage for Marina del Rey residents runs $150-$400 monthly depending on volume, with discounted rates for commitments over six months. This service suits the seasonal liveaboard community - boat owners who store household goods while cruising, or snowbirds who winter elsewhere and need secure holding for nine months. We inventory every piece, photograph condition at intake, and maintain climate monitoring year-round. Your items don’t sit in a warehouse forgotten; they’re tracked, insured, and retrievable on 48-hour notice.
Climate-Controlled Storage
Climate-controlled storage is essential in Marina del Rey, where the persistent coastal marine layer keeps humidity elevated year-round. Items moved out of ground-floor units, garages, or balcony storage often show salt-air corrosion on metal fixtures and mold on upholstered pieces - conditions we anticipate when estimating packing needs. Our climate-controlled units maintain stable temperature and humidity, protecting leather furniture, wooden instruments, and electronics from the moisture that damages them in standard storage. Monthly rates run $180-$400. For a recent client at 13600 Marina Pointe Drive, this meant the difference between a mold-free sofa and a claim - we recommended climate control after spotting corrosion on their bed frame legs during the pre-move survey.
Storage-in-Transit
Storage-in-Transit bridges the gap when your new Marina del Rey apartment isn’t ready on move day - common with the strict move-in scheduling at towers along Admiralty Way and Via Marina. Your goods are loaded once, sealed in the truck, and held in our secure facility until your building confirms the freight elevator and move-in window. This avoids double-handling charges and keeps your inventory on one bill of lading. Typical hold time is 1-14 days at $90-$200 plus the base move rate. We coordinate directly with your property manager to hit the approved window, so you don’t lose your reservation or face weekend lockout.

Trusted Equipment & Partners We Use in Marina del Rey
Our crews run Milwaukee-powered hand trucks and dollies built for the tight turns of 1960s high-rise corridors, and we stock Uline-grade packing materials rated for coastal humidity. For jobs requiring cargo-van shuttles from street-level loading zones - standard at several Channel-side towers where 26-foot box trucks are banned - we coordinate Ryder vehicles with lift gates sized for the job. Every full-service move includes free wardrobe boxes, and we bring moisture-barrier furniture wrap as standard for Marina del Rey jobs, not as an upsell. Parts, materials, and backup vehicles are stocked locally, so a stripped screw in a disassembled railing or a last-minute van need doesn’t stall your move.
Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in Marina del Rey Homes
- Underestimating freight-elevator reservation windows. LA County rules require 48-hour notice and strictly 8 a.m.-5 p.m. weekday-only access. Same-day requests at Admiralty Way towers are denied flat, causing costly delays or forced overnight storage.
- Failing to pre-measure low-clearance underground garages. Several Channel-side buildings prohibit 26-foot box trucks entirely due to 6’8″-7′ height restrictions. Experienced local movers map this out beforehand; out-of-town crews learn on arrival and scramble for cargo-van shuttles.
- Overlooking salt-air corrosion on furniture and appliances. Coastal humidity rusts metal bed frames, corrodes appliance feet, and breeds mold on upholstered pieces. Unprotected items stain carpets during unpacking and trigger damage claims that proper wrapping prevents.
- Missing tide windows for liveaboard moves. Carrying belongings down floating docks and across gangways is impossible at high tide or in rough swell. We schedule these moves for low-tide windows and keep backup dates for weather holds.

Pricing for Moving & Storage in Marina del Rey, CA
Here’s what moving and storage costs in this market. These ranges come from binding quotes we’ve written after real surveys of Marina del Rey homes - the number doesn’t move on move day.
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Local Move | $450-$2,500 |
| Piano Moving | $200-$900 |
| Storage (Monthly) | $90-$400 |
| Packing Service | $300-$1,600 |
What moves the needle within these ranges? Volume, of course. But in Marina del Rey specifically, building access drives cost more than most expect. A third-floor walk-up with a functioning freight elevator runs standard rates. A high-rise requiring cargo-van shuttles from a street-level loading zone adds labor hours. A liveaboard move with tide-synced scheduling and dock access adds complexity. Piano moves in towers with 1960s elevators - like the one we handled at 13600 Marina Pointe Drive - can run to the top of the range when disassembly and railing removal are required.
Every quote starts with a free in-home or video survey. We walk your space, measure the access points, check for salt-air damage on items going into storage, and give you a binding written number. Current offer: $250 off moves over $2,500. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule.

FAQs - Moving & Storage in Marina del Rey
No - most buildings along Admiralty Way and Via Marina enforce LA County-mandated weekday-only moving windows of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with no weekend access. We schedule your move for an approved weekday slot and confirm the freight elevator reservation 48 hours in advance so you don’t face a lockout. Call (855) 890-3455 to check availability for your building.
Yes - liveaboard moves require waterproof deck protection, compact dollies for narrow companionways, and scheduling synced to low tide for stable gangway access. We bring marine-grade floor runners and assign crews experienced with dock moves, not standard residential crews. Call (855) 890-3455 and mention your slip location; we’ll survey the dock layout and tide tables before quoting.
Underground parking garages at several older Channel-side condo buildings have 6’8″-7′ clearance limits that prohibit standard 26-foot box trucks entirely. We pre-survey your building’s garage height and truck route, then shuttle loads via cargo vans from street-level LA County-permitted loading zones if needed. This is mapped before arrival, not improvised on move day - avoiding the delays and extra labor that surprise restrictions cause.
We wrap all upholstered items and wooden furniture in moisture-barrier moving blankets, apply corrosion inhibitor to metal fixtures, and recommend climate-controlled storage for any holdover period in Marina del Rey. The persistent marine layer here keeps humidity high year-round, and unprotected items develop mold or rust stains within days. Our pre-move survey includes checking your current storage areas for existing corrosion so we can flag items needing extra protection.
Yes - our Storage-in-Transit service holds your sealed inventory for 1-14 days at $90-$200 plus the base move rate, then delivers when your building confirms the move-in window. This is common in Marina del Rey where strict elevator reservations and lease start dates don’t align. One crew handles everything start to finish; your goods aren’t transferred to a third-party warehouse. Call (855) 890-3455 to coordinate your dates.
