Fast, Reliable Moving & Storage Across New Albany
Moving and storage in New Albany, Indiana typically costs between $450 for a local move and $400 per month for climate-controlled storage, with most jobs scheduled same-day or next-day when you call (855) 890-3455. We’re Milestone Moving Co., and our crews know New Albany’s neighborhoods, from the historic districts along Main Street to the newer developments near Silver Street and the riverfront properties along the Ohio. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Indianapolis office, but our trucks and crews serve New Albany directly - no out-of-market subcontractors who get lost crossing the Sherman Minton Bridge or show up unprepared for your building’s access rules.
We’ve been moving families and businesses since 2006, and we’ve learned that New Albany moves come with their own rhythm. The tight streets of the original downtown grid, the walk-up apartments near Indiana University Southeast, and the single-family homes in areas like Oak Park Heights all require different approaches. Our Moving & Storage team arrives with floor protection, the right dollies for your staircase type, and a binding written quote that won’t change when the truck is half-loaded.
Why Milestone Moving Co. Is New Albany’s Preferred Moving & Storage Company
New Albany sits right across the Ohio River from Louisville, which means plenty of movers claim to serve the city but actually dispatch from Kentucky without understanding Indiana-side permit requirements or the specific challenges of crossing the Kennedy Bridge during rush hour. We don’t blur those lines. Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and on our own payroll - never day labor sourced from a text message.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every New Albany job. If anything we moved or packed isn’t right, one call brings a crew or a check within 90 days of delivery - not a subcontractor, not a claim form that disappears into a phone queue. We’ve built our reputation on accountability, not the lowest hourly rate.
Live customer support answers every call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Before your move, during the move, and if something needs attention afterward. The price we quote is the price you pay - a binding written quote after a real in-home or video survey, backed by our Move-Right Guarantee.
Current offers for New Albany customers include $250 off moves over $2,500, free wardrobe boxes on every full-service move, and free in-home or video estimates with no obligation.
Our Moving & Storage Services in New Albany
Climate-Controlled Storage
New Albany’s river valley location means humid summers and damp winters that can warp wood furniture, damage electronics, and mildew upholstered pieces in standard storage units. Our climate-controlled facilities maintain stable temperature and humidity year-round, protecting antiques, artwork, and heirloom furniture that many New Albany families store during renovations or between homes. Monthly rates run $90-$400 depending on unit size.
Storage-in-Transit
When closing dates don’t line up - common in New Albany’s competitive housing market where buyers sometimes need to bridge a gap between selling and buying - we hold your household in secure, inventoried storage and deliver when your new place is ready. You get one crew, start to finish, and one binding quote that covers both the move and the storage period. No double-handling by different companies, no mystery fees when the second truck shows up.
Long-Term Storage
Some New Albany customers store belongings during extended work assignments, military deployments, or while building a new home in areas like the developing corridors near Charlestown Road. Our long-term storage includes detailed inventory documentation, padded wrapping that stays on for the duration, and flexible retrieval options when you’re ready. The same crew that loaded your items can deliver them - they know how your pieces were packed and what each box contains.
Short-Term Storage
Staging a home for sale in New Albany’s active market? Decluttering for showings, or need a few days between move-out and move-in? Short-term storage gives you breathing room without a long-term commitment. We can store for as little as a few days, with the same careful handling and inventory tracking we use for cross-country moves.

Trusted Brands We Service in New Albany
We regularly handle specialty items that require specific equipment and expertise. For piano moves in New Albany, we use Milwaukee-brand moving equipment and Uline protective materials to secure instruments through narrow doorways and tight turns. When customers rent Budget Truck Rental vehicles for self-moves and need loading help, our labor crews arrive with the proper straps, pads, and dollies to protect both the truck and your belongings. We don’t stock “local parts” - we’re a full-service mover, not a retail operation - but we do maintain fully stocked branded trucks with everything needed to protect your items on the spot, no run to the hardware store required.
Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in New Albany Homes
- Historic home narrow passages: Many New Albany properties in the original 1813 plat district have doorways and staircases built before modern furniture dimensions. We’ve disassembled and reassembled sectionals, removed window sashes for hoisting, and navigated spiral staircases that standard crews simply walk away from.
- River valley humidity damage in storage: Customers who used basic self-storage units near the Ohio River have come to us after mold spotted leather furniture and warped wooden antiques. Our climate-controlled units eliminate that risk.
- Bridge crossing timing: The Sherman Minton and Kennedy Bridges back up unpredictably, especially during Louisville events or rush hour. We plan New Albany routes with buffer time and real-time traffic monitoring so your move stays on schedule.
- Walk-up apartments near campus: Indiana University Southeast housing and nearby rental buildings often have narrow stairs with landings too tight for standard appliance dollies. Our crews carry the right equipment for these configurations and the experience to use it efficiently.

FAQs - Moving & Storage in New Albany
Most gated communities in New Albany require advance notice of your move date, approved vendor lists, and specific move-in windows - often weekdays only with time limits.
