Fast, Reliable Moving & Storage Across Richland Hills
Moving & Storage in Richland Hills demands crews who understand tight lots, municipal boundary crossings, and the reality that a standard 26-foot box truck won’t fit most driveways here. Milestone Moving Co. has handled moves in Richland Hills since 2006, and we know the post-WWII grid of ranch-style homes, the mature oak canopy that limits overhead clearance, and the commuter bottlenecks around the TEXRail station that can swallow a moving window whole. We quote binding prices after a real survey of your home, send background-checked crews in uniform on our own payroll, and back every job with a 90-Day Done Right Promise. Call (855) 890-3455 for a free in-home or video estimate. If your move is over $2,500, ask about our current $250 off offer.
Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Richland Hills’s Preferred Moving & Storage Company
Richland Hills is under one square mile, completely surrounded by North Richland Hills, Haltom City, and Fort Worth. That means virtually every move we handle here crosses at least one city limit, and often two. Our crews don’t waste time figuring out which streets connect where, or which driveways on Glenview Drive or Handley-Ederville Road can handle a truck. We’ve done the route planning already.
Our reputation in Tarrant County is built on one thing: the number we write down is the number you pay. After a real in-person or video survey, we give you a binding written quote backed by our Move-Right Guarantee. No surprises on the ramp. No hostage trucks. We field our own uniformed employees, never day labor sourced from a text message, and a live person answers our phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - before your move, during it, and if something needs attention 90 days after delivery.
Response time to Richland Hills is typically same-day or next-day for estimates, with move scheduling available within a week during peak season and faster in off-peak months. We garage fully stocked branded trucks in the DFW metro, so we’re not driving in from out of state when you need us.
Our Moving & Storage Services in Richland Hills
Short-Term Storage
Richland Hills homeowners often need short-term storage when closing dates don’t line up, especially on cross-municipal moves where buyers and sellers are navigating different city utility schedules and inspection timelines. Our short-term storage runs month-to-month with no long-term commitment, and your items stay in our secure facility, not a third-party warehouse. Typical cost in Richland Hills: $90-$400 per month depending on volume. We can pack, load, store, and redeliver with one crew, start to finish.
Long-Term Storage
If you’re relocating out of Tarrant County temporarily, or downsizing from one of Richland Hills’s 1,200-square-foot ranches into something smaller, long-term storage gives you a fixed monthly rate and detailed inventory tracking. We photograph and condition-note every item at intake, so there’s no dispute about what went in and what comes out. Dale Whitmore, our owner, insists on this protocol because he’s seen too many storage customers get vague “we’ll find it” responses elsewhere.
Climate-Controlled Storage
DFW summer heat is no joke. Tarrant County regularly sees heat indices above 105°F in July and August, and that heat doesn’t just exhaust crews, it warps wood furniture, degrades electronics, and ruins vinyl records left in a standard storage unit. Our climate-controlled storage maintains stable temperature and humidity year-round. For Richland Hills residents moving family heirlooms, musical instruments, or workshop equipment with calibrated components, this isn’t an upsell. It’s protection against a real local hazard.
Storage-in-Transit
This is where our Moving & Storage team earns its reputation in Richland Hills. Because the city is landlocked and most moves cross municipal boundaries, gap periods between closing and possession are common. Storage-in-transit holds your shipment in our secured trailer or vault for up to 90 days while your new home is finalized. The quote is binding. The crew that loaded it handles the redelivery. No handoffs to subcontractors, no re-inventory by strangers.

Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in Richland Hills Homes
- Stuck trucks on narrow, tree-canopied streets. A standard 26-foot box truck can’t navigate the tight turns and low branches on many Richland Hills driveways built in the 1950s. We bring smaller split-load trucks as standard practice here, not as a last resort.
- Undersized door frames in post-WWII ranches. Most homes here have 6-foot-8 interior door frames and single-car garages. King beds, oversized sectionals, and workshop equipment need disassembly and proper padding, or they don’t get through without damage.
- Commuter bottlenecks around TEXRail. The station on Handley-Ederville Road funnels significant park-and-ride traffic through Richland Hills’s limited arterials. We schedule around the 7-9 AM and 4-6 PM windows to avoid losing time in traffic with no alternate routes.
- Heat damage during summer moves. DFW’s extreme heat accelerates crew fatigue and risks warping wood and electronics. We schedule mid-day moves sparingly in July and August, and we offer climate-controlled storage for anything that can’t tolerate a hot truck.

FAQs - Moving & Storage in Richland Hills
We don’t use 26-foot trucks on most Richland Hills moves. Our crews routinely dispatch smaller split-load trucks that can navigate the mature canopy, tight driveways, and sharp turns characteristic of the city’s 1950s-era lots. This lets us park closer to your door, reduce carrying distance, and finish in the time window we promised. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule a free survey and we’ll confirm the right truck for your specific street.
Yes, and we verify door heights and turning radii during our pre-move survey to avoid a failed attempt. We had a move on a narrow lot near the TEXRail station on Handley-Ederville Road where the homeowner’s workshop door was only 7 feet wide and the driveway had a sharp turn under a mature oak. Our tech brought a smaller split-load truck and a heavy-duty furniture dolly, and we disassembled the oversized sectional and a king bed to get them through the low 6-foot-8 door frames, finishing before the 4 PM commuter rush backed up the arterials. Call (855) 890-3455 for an estimate on specialty or heavy-item moves.
For wood furniture, electronics, musical instruments, and vinyl records, yes. Tarrant County’s summer heat indices regularly exceed 105°F, and standard storage units in this region experience temperature swings that warp, crack, and degrade sensitive materials. Our climate-controlled storage maintains stable conditions year-round. For short-term storage of sealed plastic totes and metal items, standard storage may suffice. We’ll tell you honestly which category your goods fall into during your free estimate. Call (855) 890-3455 to discuss your specific inventory.
Schedule your move to avoid the 7-9 AM and 4-6 PM windows when TEXRail commuter traffic funnels through Richland Hills’s limited arterials. Mid-morning starts around 9:30 AM work well for local moves, and early afternoon starts around 1:00 PM beat the evening rush. In summer, we also avoid the peak heat hours of 12:00-3:00 PM when possible, to protect both crews and temperature-sensitive cargo. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll build a schedule that fits your closing timeline and local traffic realities.
Yes. Storage-in-transit holds your shipment in our secured trailer or vault for up to 90 days while your new home is finalized. The crew that loads your goods handles the redelivery. No subcontractors, no re-inventory by strangers, and the quote is binding from day one. This is a common need in Richland Hills because cross-municipal moves often involve mismatched closing dates between cities with different inspection and utility transfer timelines. Call (855) 890-3455 to add storage-in-transit to your binding quote.
