Call (855) 890-3455 for a binding written quote after a real in-home or video survey.
Mount Greenwood isn’t a suburb with driveways and front-load garages. It’s Chicago’s far-southwest neighborhood of CPD and CFD families, many of whom are retiring now and heading to Orland Park, Tinley Park, or beyond. We’ve been handling these moves since 2006. We know the difference between a move from Sacramento Avenue and one from the suburbs a mile west. That local knowledge saves hours on move day.
Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Mount Greenwood’s Preferred Moving & Storage Company
We’ve built our reputation in Chicago neighborhoods like Mount Greenwood by doing what most movers won’t: putting the quote in writing and standing behind it. Our Move-Right Guarantee means the number we give you after a real survey - in person or by video - does not change on the ramp, at delivery, or anywhere in between. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Mount Greenwood customers find us because someone they trusted recommended us, or because they read about crews that show up in uniform with Milestone trucks, not unmarked rentals. Our movers are background-checked, on our payroll, and trained to headquarters standards. No day labor sourced from a text message. One crew, start to finish.
When you call (855) 890-3455, a live person answers - 24 hours a day, before your move, during it, and if something needs attention after. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers anything we moved or packed: one call brings a crew or a check, not a subcontractor you never hired and a claim form that disappears.
Our Moving & Storage Services in Mount Greenwood
Short-Term Storage
Sometimes a Mount Greenwood closing date slips, or the new place in Tinley Park isn’t quite ready. Our short-term storage holds your household for days or weeks in our secure facility, with inventory tracking on every item. We recently stored the contents of a two-flat near 111th and Sacramento for eleven days while the owner’s southwest suburban closing cleared title. Everything was padded, inventoried, and delivered on the day she called to release it.
Long-Term Storage
Retirement moves from Mount Greenwood often involve downsizing from a three-bedroom bungalow to a ranch in Orland Park - and not everything fits. Our long-term storage runs $90-$400 monthly depending on volume, with climate-controlled options for furniture, photos, and heirlooms that spent decades in that brick bungalow. The 90-Day Done Right Promise applies even to stored items: if we packed it and something isn’t right when it comes out, we make it right with a crew or a check.
Climate-Controlled Storage
Chicago’s summers are humid and winters are brutal. Temperature swings crack wood, warp vinyl records, and damage the photo albums that CPD and CFD families have kept for generations. Our climate-controlled storage maintains steady temperature and humidity year-round. For Mount Greenwood retirees storing heirloom furniture while they settle into a smaller place, or snowbirds leaving Chicago for Florida months at a time, this isn’t optional. It’s protection that matches the value of what’s being stored.
Storage-in-Transit
Storage-in-Transit bridges the gap when your new home isn’t ready but the old one is sold. We load in Mount Greenwood, hold everything in our facility, and deliver when you give the word. This matters especially for retirement moves with precise timing: pension start dates, medical appointments, family events. You don’t need to coordinate two different companies or worry about who has your inventory list. One binding quote covers the move, the storage, and the final delivery.

Trusted Brands We Service in Mount Greenwood
Our crews regularly handle moves involving U-Pack containers for long-distance relocations and load rental trucks from Budget Truck Rental when customers want to drive themselves. We also stock Uline packing materials and use Milwaukee tools for quick, clean disassembly of furniture that won’t fit down those 34-inch bungalow staircases. If you’re sourcing your own container or rental, we still provide the labor, the padding, and the accountability. The same binding quote. The same uniformed crew. The same 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in Mount Greenwood Homes
- Truck positioning in shared rear alleys. Most Mount Greenwood homes sit on standard Chicago 25-foot lots with detached garages off the alley. The practical loading point is the alley, not the front curb. Crews unfamiliar with 60655 try to park on the street and carry through the house, adding hours. We survey the alley access during your estimate and coordinate placement with neighbors when needed.
- Narrow bungalow staircases under 36 inches. The brick homes here were built between the 1920s and 1950s with interior stairs that modern sectionals and king beds simply won’t navigate. We measure during the survey and disassemble on-site with Milwaukee tools, padding every piece before it touches the stairwell.
- Winter moves on salted, slushy alleys. January through March in Mount Greenwood means icy brick stoops and alleys that collect frozen slush. Our crews lay floor runners from the truck to every room and use slip protection on exterior surfaces. Without this preparation, movers track salt and water through homes and risk serious falls.
- Underestimating volume in long-occupied homes. CPD and CFD families often stay in Mount Greenwood for 20+ years. Basements, attics, and garages accumulate more than owners remember. Our in-person or video survey catches this before move day, so the truck we send is the right size and the quote stays binding.
