Fast, Reliable Moving & Storage Across Schertz
Moving and storage in Schertz, TX typically costs between $450 for a local move and up to $9,000 for long-distance relocations, with monthly storage running $90-$400. We’re usually on-site in Schertz within 24 hours of your call, and we schedule summer moves to start by 7:30 AM to beat the heat that radiates off those concrete driveways. Our Moving & Storage team knows the 78154 zip code well - from the brick-veneer subdivisions near Green Valley to the newer builds along FM 3009 - and we understand that Schertz’s proximity to JBSA-Randolph means your move often runs on military time, not flexible time. Call (855) 890-3455 for a free in-home or video estimate.
Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Schertz’s Preferred Moving & Storage Company
We’ve been moving families in and out of Schertz since long before the latest master-planned communities broke ground along Cibolo Valley Drive. Our crews know the standardized floor plans that repeat across subdivisions here - the same slab-on-grade construction, the same 32-inch door widths, the same tight turns around kitchen islands that catch movers off guard their first time in town.
Our reputation in Schertz is built on showing up in uniform, with our own payroll crews, and putting the quote in writing before we touch a box. The number doesn’t move on move day. Not on the ramp. Not at delivery. That’s the Move-Right Guarantee, and it’s why Schertz customers refer us to neighbors at JBSA-Randolph when orders drop.
Response time matters here more than most suburbs. When a PCS out-date is fixed by report date, you can’t wait a week for a callback. Our phones are answered live, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - before you book, while we’re loading, and if something needs fixing 90 days after delivery. One call. A crew or a check. No subcontractor, no claim form that disappears.
Our Moving & Storage Services in Schertz
Storage-in-Transit
Schertz’s PCS cycle creates a specific problem: your house closes before your next duty station housing opens. Our storage-in-transit program holds your shipment in our secured warehouse between pickup and final delivery, with full inventory tracking and the same crew handling both ends. Last June, our crew handled a two-day move in the Schertz master-planned community of Green Valley, where a military family’s PCS paperwork (DD-1299) required a strict out-date. We coordinated the storage-in-transit for their belongings, packed a king bed frame using padding to protect the slab floors, and finished loading by 7:15 AM to beat the 100°F heat, ensuring the shipment met the report date.
Climate-Controlled Storage
Schertz regularly hits 100-105°F from late June through August, and that heat doesn’t just make loading miserable - it warps wood furniture, melts adhesives in electronics, and degrades photographs and documents stored in standard units. Our climate-controlled storage maintains stable temperature and humidity levels year-round. For families storing belongings between PCS moves, or homeowners decluttering before listing near Schertz Park, this isn’t optional. It’s protection against a climate that will damage what the heat doesn’t.
Declutter & Staging Storage
Schertz’s housing market moves fast when it moves, and staged homes sell quicker. Our declutter and staging storage program clears the excess so your realtor can photograph open floor plans without your sectional dominating the frame. We pack, load, store, and return everything when you close - or when your next place is ready. For the tract homes near The Forum with their standardized layouts, removing bulky furniture before listing often means the difference between a quick sale and sitting on market.
Short-Term and Long-Term Storage
Sometimes you just need a month. Sometimes you need a year. Our Schertz storage customers use short-term units during renovations, between leases, or while waiting on new construction in the booming corridor along I-35 toward New Braunfels. Long-term storage serves deployed service members, extended travel nurses, and families who’ve outgrown the garage but aren’t ready to purge. Both programs include full-value protection on everything we pack, and access by appointment with 24-hour notice.

Trusted Equipment and Materials We Use in Schertz
We stock our Schertz trucks with Uline wardrobe boxes and packing materials, secure loads with Milwaukee strapping tools, and for larger commercial moves coordinate with Ryder for supplemental vehicle capacity. Our crews carry the specific padding widths that protect slab floors from scratches - a common issue in Schertz’s post-1990 homes where floor finishes vary by builder era. We don’t show up hoping someone has what we need. We arrive with it.
Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in Schertz Homes
- Booking in May for a late-summer move, only to find all crews are reserved 6-8 weeks out. The JBSA-Randolph PCS surge fills our Schertz calendar by April. Locals who book in February get the best crews and rates. Neighboring cities don’t see this compression.
- Scheduling afternoon moves in summer heat, risking crew safety and floor damage. Schertz’s concrete driveways radiate heat upward through August. We start at 7:30 AM. Sweat drips on wood. Vinyl softens. It’s preventable.
- Underestimating tight pivot angles in standardized tract-home doorways. That king frame or sectional sofa that fit through your last place won’t make the turn into a Schertz bedroom without measurement and padding strategy. Our crews pre-walk the path.
- Assuming same-day storage availability during peak PCS weeks. Storage units fill when 200 families hit the same out-date window. We reserve capacity when we quote, not when you call back.

| Packing Service | $300 - $1,600 |
| Storage (Monthly) | $90 - $400 |
What moves your quote within these ranges? Distance, of course. But in Schertz specifically: volume drives truck size, and our standardized tract homes often hold more than owners estimate. Stair count matters less here - most homes are single-story slab - but long carries from garage to street do. Packing adds labor hours but reduces damage risk, and for PCS moves we often pack to meet military reimbursement standards. Climate-controlled storage runs toward the higher end of the monthly range, especially during summer demand spikes. Every full-service move includes Free Wardrobe Boxes, and moves over $2,500 qualify for $250 off. Call (855) 890-3455 for your exact quote - estimates are free, and they’re binding once we survey your home.

FAQs - Moving & Storage in Schertz
Book by February for May through July moves. Schertz’s proximity to JBSA-Randolph creates a PCS surge that fills our calendar 6-8 weeks out by April, earlier than any other San Antonio suburb. Call (855) 890-3455 to reserve your window - estimates are free.
You’ll need your DD-1299 (Government Bill of Lading), orders with report date, and for PPM/DITY moves, certified weight tickets showing empty and loaded truck weights.

Yes. Our climate-controlled storage maintains stable temperature and humidity through Schertz’s 100-105°F summer months, protecting wood furniture, electronics, and documents from heat damage. Monthly rates run $90-$400 depending on unit size. Call for availability - units fill during PCS season.
Yes, with pre-move measurement and protective padding. Schertz’s post-1990 homes use standardized 32-inch door widths that create tight pivot angles for oversized furniture - our crews measure the path and pad both the piece and the door frame before attempting the turn. It’s routine work, but only if you plan for it.
We schedule Schertz summer moves to start by 7:30 AM. This clears the heavy loading work before the dangerous 1-4 PM heat window, when ground-level temperatures off concrete driveways peak. Crew safety matters. Your floors and furniture matter too - sweat and softened vinyl don’t mix well.
