Fast, Reliable Moving & Storage Across The Colony
Moving and storage in The Colony, TX typically costs between $450 for a local move and up to $400 per month for ongoing storage, with most jobs scheduled same-day or next-day once your binding quote is locked in. We answer calls live 24/7 at (855) 890-3455, and our crews are on the road to The Colony from our Dallas-Fort Worth operations within hours of your call.
We’ve been moving families in and out of The Colony since 2006. We know the difference between a 1978 ranch near Peters Colony Elementary and a lakefront build in The Tribute where the HOA gate won’t open without pre-registered plates. We know that Nebraska Furniture Mart at Grandscape sits just off SH 121, and that half our The Colony customers are coordinating their move-in with a massive furniture delivery in the same week. That local rhythm matters. A mover who treats The Colony like any other Dallas suburb misses the details that turn a scheduled move into a six-hour delay.
Why Milestone Moving Co. Is The Colony’s Preferred Moving & Storage Company
We’ve completed hundreds of moves in The Colony’s 75056 zip code and the surrounding master-planned neighborhoods. Our crews know which streets in The Tribute require HOA gate pre-registration 48 hours ahead, and which older subdivisions off Main Street have garage doors racked just enough by clay soil foundation shift that a measured clearance won’t match reality.
The Colony customers rate us consistently for showing up in the window we promised, in uniform, with the same crew that surveyed the home. Our 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. Not a subcontractor. That accountability is why The Colony residents call us back for second moves and refer us to neighbors.
We answer the phone live, 24 hours a day, before your move, during your move, and at the claims desk if something needs attention. Response time to The Colony is typically same-day for estimates and next-day for most moves once the binding quote is signed.
Our Moving & Storage Services in The Colony
Short-Term Storage
Short-term storage in The Colony runs $90-$400 per month depending on volume, and it’s built for the compressed timeline this market demands. The Colony’s unique moving rhythm, driven by Nebraska Furniture Mart at Grandscape, means incoming residents often need to store their household goods for one to three weeks while closing on a home, then again while waiting for NFM delivery windows to align. We coordinate pickup and delivery around your closing date and your furniture delivery slot, so you’re not paying for storage you don’t need or rushing to empty a unit before your new sectional arrives.

Climate-Controlled Storage
North Texas heat peaks above 100 degrees for weeks each summer, and The Colony’s position on Lewisville Lake adds humidity that standard storage units don’t manage well. Climate-controlled storage protects wood furniture, electronics, artwork, and musical instruments from the warp and mildew that destroy unconditioned units here. Our climate-controlled facility maintains steady temperature and humidity year-round. For The Colony customers storing heirlooms during a renovation or between homes, this isn’t an upsell. It’s the difference between opening a box to find your grandmother’s dresser intact or cupped beyond repair.

Declutter & Staging Storage
The Colony’s housing market moves fast when homes show well. Our declutter and staging storage service clears the overflow from ranch-style and two-story homes built in the 1970s through 1990s, where smaller rooms and compartmentalized floor plans read as cramped to buyers. We pack, inventory, and store furniture and personal items off-site while your realtor shows a clean, spacious home. Once you close, we deliver everything to your new address. Typical staging storage in The Colony runs $90-$250 monthly for a partial home clear-out, with packing service at $300-$1,600 if you want us to handle the inventory.

Storage-in-Transit
Storage-in-transit bridges the gap when your closing dates don’t line up, or when you’re building in The Tribute and the certificate of occupancy slips by two weeks. Your goods stay sealed in the original moving container, inventoried and protected, until delivery. This service is common for The Colony families moving from out of state who need flexibility on arrival timing. The price is folded into your binding quote, so there’s no surprise daily rate if the delay stretches longer than expected.

Trusted Brands We Service in The Colony
Our crews load and protect goods built by the manufacturers The Colony homeowners actually buy from. We regularly handle U-Pack containers for customers doing hybrid moves, wrap and crate Uline shipping supplies for home-based businesses relocating to The Colony’s growing commercial corridors, and maneuver Milwaukee tool chests and Ryder rental equipment through the tight doorways that foundation shift has racked out of square. We stock protective padding, door jamb guards, and floor runners sized for the wider garage entries common in The Tribute’s newer builds and the narrower frames of 1980s ranches alike.
Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in The Colony Homes
- Builder-grade garage door springs and openers fail during peak move days. The Colony’s expansive clay soil swells and shrinks, racking door frames and straining hardware that was barely adequate when installed. We’ve had trucks loaded and ready when the garage door jammed half-open, trapping everything inside until we cleared the door manually.
- Smart-opener Wi-Fi and myQ setups lose connectivity in dense subdivisions. At gated entries like The Tribute’s lakefront peninsula, a failed opener sync means the gate won’t recognize your vehicle, and the HOA won’t admit a moving truck without pre-registered plates confirmed at a working opener.
- Doorways in older Colony homes measure square but aren’t. Foundation movement from North Texas clay soil shifts door frames just enough that refrigerators, sectional sofas, and grand pianos that should fit based on tape-measure math don’t clear the opening. Our crews carry disassembly tools and have cleared hundreds of these openings without wall damage.
- Nebraska Furniture Mart delivery windows collide with move-in schedules. Incoming The Colony residents routinely purchase new furniture at NFM the same week they relocate, creating a logistics puzzle no generic mover prepares for. We coordinate storage and delivery timing so your NFM drop doesn’t arrive to a house still packed floor-to-ceiling.

FAQs - Moving & Storage in The Colony
Yes, we move into The Tribute regularly. The HOA requires vehicle pre-registration 48 hours before entry, including moving truck make, model, and license plate. We call ahead, submit the paperwork, and confirm gate access before we load. If your builder-installed Wi-Fi opener fails to sync with the gate system, we’ve cleared that hurdle too. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll walk you through the pre-registration steps when we schedule your survey.
Yes, if it’s failing now, it will likely jam on move day when the door cycles repeatedly. During a move-out in The Tribute’s lakefront peninsula, our crew noticed the homeowner’s builder-installed Wi-Fi opener failing to sync with the gate’s vehicle pre-registration system, delaying our truck. We tuned the opener’s travel limits and reinforced the hinge brackets to square the door against the foundation shift, ensuring a smooth exit before we loaded a grand piano and oversized sectional. We can assess your opener during the pre-move survey and coordinate repair if needed. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule.
Yes, this is routine for us in The Colony. North Texas expansive clay soil swells and shrinks through wet and drought cycles, causing foundation movement that gradually racks door frames and stairwells in older homes. Movers here regularly encounter doorways that are slightly out of square, making large-appliance and sectional-sofa clearance tighter than measurements suggest. Our crews carry disassembly tools and have cleared hundreds of these openings without wall damage. If we find a tight fit during your move, we solve it on the spot. Call (855) 890-3455 for a free estimate.
Yes, short-term and climate-controlled storage are designed for exactly this scenario. The Colony is home to Nebraska Furniture Mart at Grandscape, the largest home furnishings store in North America, which creates a uniquely compressed moving dynamic: incoming residents routinely relocate their household and immediately purchase large volumes of new furniture in the same week. We coordinate move-in scheduling around NFM delivery windows in a way that simply doesn’t exist in neighboring Frisco or Lewisville. Your goods stay in our facility until your NFM delivery is confirmed, then we deliver everything together or separately, whichever fits your timeline. Call (855) 890-3455 to set up storage timing.
We lay Masonite or heavy-duty floor runners across the full garage path before we start, and we check for foundation-settling cracks that could trip crew or catch dollies. The Colony’s clay soil creates more floor settlement than rock-based soils, so older garage slabs often have uneven wear patterns near the door threshold. Our crews know to watch for these and adjust ramp angles accordingly. Floor protection is included in every full-service move. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll confirm the details for your home.
