Fast, Reliable Moving & Storage Across Arlington
Moving and storage in Arlington, TN typically costs between $450 for a local move and $400 per month for storage, with most jobs scheduled within 24 hours of your call.

Arlington sits at the edge of Shelby County’s growth corridor, where new construction in ZIP 38002 meets older subdivisions with narrower streets built decades earlier. Our crews have handled both, and we schedule around the realities that other movers miss.

Our Moving & Storage Services in Arlington
Short-Term Storage
Short-term storage in Arlington runs $90-$250 per month and fits the gap between closing dates, renovation schedules, or staging a home for sale. Many Arlington sellers use our 30-to-90-day short-term option while they wait on new construction in Lakeland or Bartlett to finish. Your items stay in our facility, accessible by appointment, with inventory photos taken at intake.
Long-Term Storage
For Arlington families storing heirlooms during an overseas deployment or downsizing without letting go, long-term storage starts at $150 monthly with discounted rates for commitments over six months. We see this need often with Arlington’s military connections to Millington Naval Support Activity, where assignments can extend 18 months or longer.
Climate-Controlled Storage
Arlington’s humidity swings from summer highs above 90% to winter air that cracks wood and warps instruments. Climate-controlled storage at $200-$400 monthly maintains 55-85°F and 30-50% relative humidity, protecting antique furniture, vinyl collections, and musical instruments from Shelby County’s seasonal extremes. If you’re storing anything that lived in air conditioning, it belongs in climate control.
Storage-in-Transit
Storage-in-transit bridges the gap when your new Arlington home isn’t ready but your old one is sold. We load, store, and deliver on your schedule, with up to 180 days of warehouse holding. This service matters in Arlington’s fast-moving market, where closing delays of two to four weeks are common and buyers sometimes need to vacate before sellers clear out.

Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in Arlington Homes
- Underestimating storage needs for older Arlington homes. Many 1970s-1990s subdivisions near Airline Road and Milton Wilson Road have two-car garages that fill fast with lawn equipment, leaving no room for move-out overflow. We measure your actual storage volume during the estimate and right-size the unit before move day.
- Booking moves during peak humidity without climate protection. Arlington’s August heat doesn’t just exhaust crews; it warps wood furniture and traps moisture in sealed boxes. We schedule early starts and use moisture-barrier wrapping on items headed to non-climate storage.
- Assuming all storage facilities allow same-day access. Arlington’s newer self-storage options often have gate hours or elevator schedules that conflict with move timelines. Our warehouse storage includes appointment access seven days a week, with forklift assist for heavy items.
- Storing without inventory documentation. Arlington customers who skip the photo inventory lose track of which box holds what. We photograph every item at intake and provide a searchable digital log, so you find your grandmother’s dishes without opening twelve identical cartons.

FAQs - Moving & Storage in Arlington
We don’t. Arlington’s Entertainment District along I-30 and SH-360 hosts AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, and Six Flags Over Texas, and the Cowboys’ and Rangers’ combined 100-plus home dates per year routinely gridlock those corridors for hours. We actively check the NFL, MLB, and major concert calendars when scheduling Arlington moves and route around event days whenever possible. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll flag any conflicts when we book your date.
Sometimes we can’t, and we’ll tell you during the walk-through rather than learning on arrival. Arlington’s 1960s-1990s subdivisions feature cul-de-sacs with turning radii too tight for a 26-foot moving truck. In south Arlington’s 76002, we handled a two-story house with a winding staircase, moving a family into a cul-de-sac where the 26-foot truck couldn’t fit. We used padding and a furniture dolly to protect the walls, and our crew started at 6 a.m. to beat the 100°F heat, wrapping up before the afternoon sun peaked. We’ll plan shuttle options or smaller vehicles if needed. Call (855) 890-3455 for a walk-through.
Yes. Arlington’s North Texas summers routinely exceed 100°F from late June through September, making outdoor loading on exposed driveways a genuine heat-safety concern. Early-morning start times and crew hydration protocols are standard operating practice for summer moves. We also adjust packing materials, using breathable wrapping instead of plastic sheeting that traps heat against furniture surfaces. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule a morning slot.
We can, but you need to book early. Movers covering east Arlington near UT Arlington’s campus face a brutal two-week compression every August when the university’s roughly 40,000 enrolled students descend on surrounding apartment complexes simultaneously, a move-in surge so dense that local truck fleets and crew availability collapse city-wide, and jobs booked even a week out can go unfilled. We reserve crew capacity for Arlington families and businesses who book by late July. Call (855) 890-3455 to lock your August date.
We don’t repair garage springs, but we do provide storage for Arlington homeowners clearing space for contractors to do that work. Many Arlington homes built between the 1960s and 1990s have original garage door hardware now past its service life, and when the spring goes, the car stays in the driveway and the garage becomes unusable for storage. Our short-term and climate-controlled options hold your overflow while you get the repair done. Call (855) 890-3455 for a storage quote.
