Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Fairview Shores’s Preferred Moving & Storage Company
We’ve been moving families in and out of Fairview Shores’s mid-century concrete-block ranches for over 20 years. The neighborhood’s tight cul-de-sacs around Lake Fairview and its 28-30-inch interior doorways aren’t surprises to our crews. They’re conditions we plan for.
Our Fairview Shores customers return because the quote we write down doesn’t change on move day. The Move-Right Guarantee locks your price after an in-person or video survey. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if anything we moved or packed isn’t right, one call brings a crew or a check. No subcontractor, no claim form that disappears.
Every mover on your job is background-checked, uniformed, and on Milestone’s payroll. No day labor sourced from a text message. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, before your move, during your move, and at the claims desk.
Our Moving & Storage Services in Fairview Shores
Climate-Controlled Storage
Central Florida’s June-September rainy season brings near-daily afternoon thunderstorms, and Fairview Shores’s high humidity means wood furniture and cardboard boxes left on driveways even briefly can absorb moisture and warp or mold. Our climate-controlled storage maintains stable temperature and humidity levels, protecting your items whether you need storage for two weeks or six months. This is the storage option we recommend for nearly every Fairview Shores customer between closing dates.
Storage-in-Transit
When your new Fairview Shores ranch isn’t ready on closing day, our Storage-in-Transit program holds your household on our truck or in our warehouse, then delivers when you’re ready. We see this constantly in Fairview Shores, where buyers moving from Orlando or Maitland face gap closings. Your items stay on one inventory, one bill of lading, with no third-party warehouse handoffs. The price is locked in your original binding quote.
Short-Term Storage
Staging a 1950s ranch on Edgewater Drive for sale? Remodeling a kitchen before you move in? Our short-term storage in Fairview Shores runs month-to-month with no long-term commitment.

Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in Fairview Shores Homes
- Truck crews underestimate tight cul-de-sacs and lake-edge dead ends. Several streets on Fairview Shores’s western edge dead-end at Lake Fairview’s shoreline with no turnaround. Movers who don’t scout routes beforehand end up backing a loaded truck hundreds of feet down a residential street, damaging lawns and blocking traffic. We survey every route before truck day.
- Large furniture gets scratched or stuck in 28-30-inch mid-century doorways. Fairview Shores’s 1950s-1970s concrete-block ranches were built with interior doorways a full 2-6 inches narrower than modern standards. King-size mattresses and sectionals must be disassembled or tilted at precise angles. Our crews carry door-jamb protectors and the tools to break down furniture on-site.
- Afternoon thunderstorms soak unprotected loads. Noon start times on a June-September day leave loads exposed to sudden downpours. Wood furniture and cardboard boxes absorb moisture in minutes, and Fairview Shores’s humidity worsens warping and mold. We schedule morning starts and keep weatherproof padding on every truck.
- Out-of-area movers confuse Orange County and Orlando permitting. Fairview Shores is unincorporated Orange County, not City of Orlando. Movers unfamiliar with this jurisdictional line arrive unprepared for county regulations. We’ve navigated this distinction on every Fairview Shores move for nearly two decades.

FAQs - Moving & Storage in Fairview Shores
No. Fairview Shores is an unincorporated Orange County enclave, so Orange County regulations apply rather than City of Orlando permitting. This distinction catches out-of-area moving companies repeatedly. We’ve handled the county paperwork on Fairview Shores moves since 2006. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll confirm exactly what’s needed for your street.
Often, no. Several streets on Fairview Shores’s western edge dead-end at Lake Fairview’s shoreline with no turnaround space. We ran a local move on a dead-end stretch of Lakeside Drive near Lake Fairview, where the 26-foot truck couldn’t turn around and our crew had to back it down 200 feet of narrow pavement. We scout every route beforehand and dispatch smaller shuttle trucks when needed. Call (855) 890-3455 for a free route assessment.
We disassemble, tilt at calculated angles, or remove door hardware. Inside that 1962 ranch on Lakeside Drive, the 30-inch hallway door meant we had to tilt a king bed frame nearly vertical and remove the closet bi-fold doors just to clear the corner. Our crews carry Milwaukee tool sets and door-jamb protectors on every Fairview Shores job. The homeowner’s walls stayed clean. Call (855) 890-3455 for an estimate.
Yes. Central Florida’s June-September rainy season brings near-daily afternoon thunderstorms, and Fairview Shores’s high humidity means wood furniture and cardboard boxes left on driveways even briefly can absorb moisture and warp or mold. The homeowner on Lakeside Drive had old U-Haul boxes water-stained from a previous move during an afternoon storm, so we used climate-controlled storage for the week between closing dates. At $90-$400 monthly, it’s the cheapest insurance against moisture damage. Call (855) 890-3455 to reserve space.
Afternoon thunderstorms are predictable in Fairview Shores from June through September. A noon start leaves your load exposed when storms hit hardest. Morning starts get your items loaded, padded, and either delivered or in climate-controlled storage before the sky opens. We schedule Fairview Shores moves for 8:00 a.m. starts during rainy season. Call (855) 890-3455 to book your window.
