We’re Milestone Moving Co., and our crews know the difference between a Wollaston triple-decker with 32-inch doorways and a Quincy Center high-rise with a freight elevator booked to the half-hour.

Call (855) 890-3455 for a binding written quote after a real survey of your home.
Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Quincy’s Preferred Moving & Storage Company
Quincy isn’t a generic Boston suburb. It’s a city where one block holds a 1920s two-family with a cellar bulkhead too narrow for a queen box spring, and the next holds a 20-story condo tower where the loading dock closes at 4 p.m. sharp. Our Moving & Storage crews have handled both, hundreds of times.
We built our reputation here on accountability, not lowball hourly rates. Every quote is binding after an in-person or video survey - the number doesn’t move on delivery day. Our movers are background-checked, uniformed, and on our own payroll. No day labor. No gig workers. And when something isn’t right, our 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings a crew or a check, not a claim form that disappears into a subcontractor’s voicemail.
Live support answers every call, 24/7. Before your move, during your move, and 60 days later when you notice the scratch on the dining table. That’s the difference between a mover who writes it down and one who hopes you forget.
Our Moving & Storage Services in Quincy
Short-Term Storage
Quincy’s September 1st lease turnover compresses a month’s worth of moves into 72 hours. If your new place in North Quincy isn’t ready when your old lease in Merrymount ends, our short-term storage bridges the gap. Units run $90-$400 monthly. We pack, load, vault, and deliver when you’re ready. No double-handling by third parties. One crew, start to finish.
Long-Term Storage
Some Quincy families store heirlooms while renovating a West Quincy Colonial, or hold furniture between postings at the shipyard. Our long-term storage runs $90-$400 monthly, with inventory tracking and access by appointment. Everything stays in our own facility, not a brokered warehouse. The price we quote is the price you pay, month after month.
Climate-Controlled Storage
Quincy’s direct exposure to Quincy Bay means summer humidity hits 80% and salt air works into every porous surface. Climate-controlled storage at $90-$400 monthly holds temperature and humidity steady, protecting antique furniture, musical instruments, and electronics from the coastal conditions that warp wood and corrode contacts. For items stored through a New England winter and the thaw that follows, it’s the difference between opening a box and opening a claim.
Storage-in-Transit
When a closing date slips or a condo association delays certificate of occupancy, storage-in-transit keeps your shipment secure without unloading into a separate warehouse. At $90-$400 monthly, your goods stay on the original truck or in a sealed vault, ready for final delivery the moment your Quincy Center tower gives the green light. This matters especially near the T stops, where elevator reservations and COI requirements can shift by hours, not days.

Trusted Brands We Service in Quincy
Our crews arrive with Milwaukee tools, Uline packing supplies, and Ryder-maintained trucks stocked for Quincy’s specific challenges. We’ve swapped uncoated springs for galvanized hardware on U-Pack container loads where salt air had already started the corrosion. The right equipment on the truck means we don’t waste your freight elevator window running to a hardware store on Southern Artery.
Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in Quincy Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on garage door hardware. Quincy’s position on Quincy Bay means salt-laden air and nor’easter spray corrode garage-door springs and hardware years faster than in inland towns like Dedham. Uncoated steel springs snap within 5-7 years, often mid-move when the door sees repeated use.
- Freight elevator bottlenecks at T-corridor towers. The condo buildings near Quincy Center and North Quincy stations allow one elevator booking per floor per half-day. Crews without a confirmed slot and a COI naming the specific association get turned away at the loading dock.
- Nor’easter truck positioning on hillside streets. Areas like Merrymount and Squantum see heavy wet snow and ice that make grade parking dangerous. Our drivers scout conditions and carry traction aids for Quincy’s coastal topography.
- September 1st demand compression. The statewide lease turnover hits Quincy especially hard given its role as a high-density Boston commuter rental market. Storage vaults and truck availability disappear by mid-August if you haven’t booked.

FAQs - Moving & Storage in Quincy
Salt-laden air from Quincy Bay corrodes uncoated steel springs in 5-7 years, and the repeated open-close cycles of move day stress already-weakened metal. We recently handled a move in Merrymount where the client’s garage door spring snapped mid-load-in due to salt-air corrosion on the uncoated steel. Our crew swapped in a galvanized torsion spring and stainless hinges, then added nylon rollers to reduce friction, all before securing the truck for the steep grade down to Quincy Shore Drive. If your garage door hasn’t been serviced in three years, have it inspected before move day. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll check it during your free estimate.
Stop using it immediately - a binding door can derail or drop, and a loaded truck can’t wait for repairs. Corroded hinges and tracks from coastal exposure cause bind and misalignment that jam exactly when you’re racing a tide window or building deadline. Our crews carry Milwaukee tools and replacement hardware for field repairs, but prevention is faster: schedule a pre-move inspection if you see rust flakes or hear grinding. Call (855) 890-3455 - estimates are free, and we’ll flag corrosion before it stops your move.
Yes, for anything wood, leather, electronic, or textile stored through a humid summer or salt-air winter. Quincy’s bay exposure drives humidity spikes that warp furniture and promote mold in standard units. Climate-controlled storage at $90-$400 monthly maintains stable temperature and humidity, protecting against the coastal conditions that damage items in uncontrolled spaces. For short-term storage during a quick transition, standard may suffice. For anything over 60 days or through July and August, climate control pays for itself. Call (855) 890-3455 to discuss what you’re storing and for how long.
Two weeks minimum, and confirm your mover’s COI names the specific condo association, not just the building address. The towers near Quincy Center and North Quincy stations typically allow one freight elevator booking per floor per half-day. Crews that arrive without a confirmed slot and proper COI get turned away at the loading dock. We coordinate elevator reservations as part of our pre-move planning, and we build buffer time for Quincy’s tight windows. Book your move with us at least three weeks ahead for September 1st - elevator slots vanish first. Call (855) 890-3455 to reserve your date.
Demand compression means fewer trucks, fewer storage vaults, and zero flexibility if your closing slips. Quincy’s role as a high-density Boston commuter rental market concentrates turnover into a single chaotic weekend, and the T-corridor towers add elevator competition on top. Prices don’t spike - our binding quotes hold - but availability disappears by mid-August. If you must move September 1st, book six weeks ahead and have a storage-in-transit backup at $90-$400 monthly in case your new place isn’t ready. Call (855) 890-3455 early to lock your slot.
