Call (855) 890-3455 for a free in-home or video estimate - the quote we write down is the number you pay.
We’ve been moving Montebello families and businesses since 2006. We know the difference between a straight shot down Beverly Boulevard and a hill route that demands a smaller truck, extra padding, and a slope-rated dolly. That local knowledge keeps your job on schedule and on budget.
Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Montebello’s Preferred Moving & Storage Company
Our reputation in Montebello was built on showing up in uniform, in the window we promised, with a binding written quote that does not change. The price we quote is the price you pay. Period.
We answer calls live, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - before your move, during your move, and if something needs attention afterward. Our Moving & Storage team fields every question directly; no phone trees, no third-party call centers.
Response time to Montebello is typically same-day or next-day for estimates, with moves scheduled within 48 hours for most local jobs. We know Montebello’s split geography - the flat, dense 1940s-1960s tracts east of Garfield Avenue versus the steep, winding Montebello Hills to the west - and we plan accordingly. Standard 26-foot box trucks often cannot safely navigate hill addresses like those off Via Alta or Sunningdale Drive, forcing shuttle transfers that add hours and cost. We scout your street on Google Street View before dispatch so this never surprises you on move day. That preparation is why Montebello residents call us back for second moves and refer us to neighbors.
Our Moving & Storage Services in Montebello
Storage-in-Transit
When your new Montebello home isn’t ready but your old one is sold, Storage-in-Transit bridges the gap. Your goods stay in our secure warehouse, fully inventoried, until delivery. We recently handled a move on Sunningdale Drive in the Montebello Hills where the client had a detached workshop full of heavy equipment. Because of the narrow, curved street blocking our 26-footer, we used a smaller box truck and a slope-rated dolly to shuttle everything up the drive. The ‘one-trip’ promise meant pre-scouting on Street View and bringing extra padding for the long carry to the truck - a standard part of our Long Distance Moving in Montebello planning process. For Montebello’s older bungalows with alley-accessed garages, this staged approach prevents the chaos of a truck that doesn’t fit.
Climate-Controlled Storage
Montebello sits far enough inland from the coast that summer heat events regularly push into the mid-to-upper 90s°F - hotter than coastal LA cities just a few miles west. That heat warps wood furniture, damages electronics, and degrades artwork. Our climate-controlled units maintain stable temperature and humidity year-round, protecting leather, antiques, instruments, and sensitive business records. If you’re storing through July and August, this isn’t optional in Montebello - it’s essential.
Long-Term Storage
Montebello’s dominant housing stock of single-family California bungalows and ranch-style homes built between 1940 and 1965 often means compact lots with limited space for belongings you inherit, renovate around, or simply aren’t ready to sort. Our long-term storage gives you room to breathe without cramming a garage that was designed for a single 1950s sedan. Monthly rates run $90-$400 depending on volume, with flexible access and full-value protection on everything we pack.
Short-Term Storage
Staging a home for sale in the Montebello Hills? Remodeling a kitchen in one of those original 28-inch doorway bungalows near Whittier Boulevard? Short-term storage holds your goods for days or weeks while work finishes. We deliver the container or unit, load it, and return it when you’re ready - no double-handling, no renting a truck twice.

Trusted Brands We Service in Montebello
Our crews arrive with equipment built for real conditions. We stock Uline moving blankets and Milwaukee hand trucks rated for slope work, not just flat warehouse floors. For container moves and flexible storage, we coordinate with U-Pack systems. Our branded Ryder fleet includes both 26-foot straight trucks for flat-land Montebello moves and smaller box trucks pre-assigned to hill routes that demand tighter turning radius. Every truck carries extra dollies, Masonite floor protection, and door jamb pads - because a Montebello move often means protecting original 1940s trim that can’t be replaced.
Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in Montebello Homes
- Underestimating hill routes: Turning onto streets like Sunningdale or Via Alta without checking Street View forces a shuttle that blows the schedule. We pre-scout every hill address and assign the right truck size before the crew leaves the yard.
- Using standard flat-surface dollies on steep grades: A dolly that works fine on Pico Rivera’s flat streets risks tip-overs on Montebello Hills driveways. Our slope-rated equipment and extra tie-downs prevent damage to your goods and injury to our crew.
- Assuming alley-accessed garages have clearance for a full-size truck: Many Montebello bungalows have single-car garages off narrow alleys built in the 1940s. We verify access during the estimate and stage a second drop point if needed, so your move doesn’t stall at the first load.
- Ignoring heat protection during summer moves: Montebello’s inland heat peaks 10-15 degrees above coastal LA. We schedule early-morning starts in July and August and use climate-controlled transport for heat-sensitive items, preventing warped furniture and fried electronics.

Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll verify your street during the estimate.
Schedule an early-morning start time and use climate-controlled storage or transport for heat-sensitive items like electronics, wood furniture, and artwork.
