We’ve been moving families and businesses in Little Canada since 2006, and we know the terrain. This is one of the Twin Cities’ smallest inner-ring suburbs at roughly 3.5 square miles, almost entirely built out, which means we’re working with established neighborhoods, narrow single-car driveways, and street layouts that haven’t changed in decades. Our trucks are garaged in the metro area, so we’re never far when a Little Canada resident needs us. Whether you’re relocating from a rambler off Little Canada Road or staging a home near Gervais Lake, our Moving & Storage team plans the route before we load a single box.
Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Little Canada’s Preferred Moving & Storage Company
Little Canada residents don’t hire movers to take chances. They hire us because we put the quote in writing after a real survey of your home, and that number is binding. Our Move-Right Guarantee means the price we quote is the price you pay - no escalation on the ramp, no hostage truck, no surprise line items at delivery.
We’ve served this community for over 20 years. Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and on our own payroll - never day labor sourced from a text message. One crew handles your job start to finish. We call before we knock, arrive in the window we gave you, and if anything we moved or packed isn’t right, our 90-Day Done Right Promise resolves it with a crew or a check. Not a subcontractor. Not a claim form that disappears.
Live support answers every call, 24/7 - before you book, while we’re on your street in Little Canada, and 90 days after we’ve delivered your last box. That’s not a perk.
Our Moving & Storage Services in Little Canada
Short-Term Storage
Little Canada’s housing market moves fast. Sometimes closing dates don’t align, or a buyer needs two weeks to clear out before you can move in. Our short-term storage runs month-to-month at $90-$400, with prorated options if you only need a partial month. We inventory every item, wrap furniture in quilted pads, and store it in our secured facility until you’re ready. No minimum stay. No cancellation penalties.

Long-Term Storage
Downsizing from a split-level on Little Canada’s east side? Inheriting furniture you can’t place yet? Long-term storage at Milestone costs $90-$400 monthly, with discounted rates for commitments over six months. Your items stay in the same warehouse, handled by the same crew, with the same inventory tracking. We don’t shuffle your belongings between facilities or hand them off to third-party warehouses.

Climate-Controlled Storage
Little Canada’s continental climate swings from -20°F in January to 90°F with humidity in July. Those extremes warp wood, crack leather, and destroy electronics. Our climate-controlled units maintain stable temperature and humidity year-round at $90-$400 monthly. We recommend this for antiques, musical instruments, vinyl collections, and any heirloom furniture from those 1950s-1970s homes that give Little Canada its character.

Storage-in-Transit
This is where Milestone differs from most movers. Storage-in-Transit (SIT) holds your loaded shipment in our warehouse between pickup and final delivery - ideal when your new Little Canada home isn’t quite ready, or when you’re selling one house and buying another with a gap in between. At $90-$400 monthly, your goods stay on our truck or in our vaults, fully insured under the same coverage that applied during the move itself. No re-handling by outside vendors. No coverage gaps.

Container Storage
For Little Canada residents who want flexibility, our container storage option delivers a weatherproof, lockable unit to your driveway. Load at your pace, then we transport it to our facility or directly to your new address. Monthly rates run $90-$400. This works well for decluttering before a showing, or for renovation projects where you need furniture out of the way but accessible.

Packing Services
Our professional packing service costs $300-$1,600 depending on home size and fragility load. We bring all materials - Uline boxes, Milwaukee packing tape dispensers, specialty crates for artwork and electronics. Every full-service move includes free wardrobe boxes. We pack like it’s ours, because our 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to what we pack, too.

Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in Little Canada Homes
- Truck-size mismatches on lake-area cul-de-sacs. The residential streets wrapping Gervais Lake include tight dead-ends that a standard 26-foot truck cannot exit without a multi-point turn. We recently handled a move on a tight cul-de-sac near Gervais Lake where the 26-footer couldn’t turn around. Our crew used a shuttle truck to run the load down the block, and we padded an extra hour into the estimate for the multi-point exit - no blocked streets, no damaged lawns.
- Split-level staircases that eat time. Little Canada’s 1950s-1970s ramblers and split-levels have stairways with angles that don’t accommodate modern sectionals or king mattresses. We disassemble, pad, and reassemble in-room - but only if the estimator accounts for that time upfront. A rushed quote becomes a rushed job.
- Spring thaw turf damage around lakeside properties. From late March through April, saturated ground around Gervais Lake and Little Canada Lake causes dollies and foot traffic to sink. We lay Masonite pathways or restrict staging to driveways during these weeks. Homeowners who skip this step end up reseeding in May.
- Driveway blocking on narrow streets. Little Canada’s modest lots with single-car driveways mean a 26-foot truck often must park on the street. We coordinate with neighbors and, when needed, station a crew member as traffic spotter. It’s a small step that prevents citations and conflicts.
