We’ve been moving families and businesses in the 91403, 91413, 91423, and 91495 ZIP codes since 2006. Our trucks are stocked and our crews are briefed on Sherman Oaks’s specific challenges: the 405/101 interchange gridlock that can swallow an afternoon, the summer heat that hits 104°F by noon in July, and the hillside streets south of Ventura Boulevard where a 26-foot truck simply won’t fit. Our Moving & Storage team plans for these conditions before we arrive, not after we’re stuck.
Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Sherman Oaks’s Preferred Moving & Storage Company
We’ve built our reputation in Sherman Oaks on one principle: the number we write down is the number you pay. After a real in-person or video survey, we give you a binding written quote backed by our Move-Right Guarantee. No surprises on the ramp. No hostage truck. Just the price, in writing, with Dale Whitmore’s name behind it.
Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and on Milestone’s own payroll - never day labor sourced from a text message. One crew, start to finish. They show up in the window we promised, and we call before we knock.
Live support answers every call, 24/7. Before your move, during your move, and 90 days after delivery if something isn’t right. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings a crew or a check - not a subcontractor, not a claim form that disappears into a black hole.
Current offer: $250 off moves over $2,500, plus free wardrobe boxes on every full-service move and a free in-home or video estimate to start.
Our Moving & Storage Services in Sherman Oaks
Short-Term Storage
Between closings, during a quick remodel, or when your new place in Sherman Oaks isn’t quite ready - short-term storage keeps your belongings secure without a long-term commitment. We load once, store in our facility, and deliver when you’re ready. For hillside homes on tight lots where staging space disappears the moment demo starts, this is often the only practical option. Monthly rates run $90-$400 depending on volume.
Storage-in-Transit
When your move-out and move-in dates don’t line up - common with escrow delays in competitive Sherman Oaks real estate - storage-in-transit holds your shipment in our warehouse between pickup and final delivery. Your goods stay on the same inventory, under the same coverage, with the same crew handling both ends. No double-handling by strangers. No confusion about what box goes where. We recently used SIT for a family moving from a flatland apartment on Ventura Boulevard to a new build near Mulholland; their certificate of occupancy was delayed three weeks, and we delivered the day it cleared.
Climate-Controlled Storage
Sherman Oaks’s summer heat isn’t just hard on crews - it’s hard on your belongings. Temperatures in non-climate units can exceed 120°F, warping wood furniture, degrading electronics, and melting vinyl records. Our climate-controlled storage maintains stable temperature and humidity year-round. Essential for mid-century furniture from hillside homes, wine collections, and anything with glued joints or delicate finishes. Same monthly range: $90-$400.
Long-Term Storage
Extended travel, inherited belongings you can’t sort yet, or a temporary relocation out of state - long-term storage in Sherman Oaks means your items stay protected for months or years with the same accountability. We document condition on intake, and you can access by appointment. For hillside residents with limited garage space, this often replaces a costly addition or shed build.
Container Storage
For maximum flexibility, container storage brings a portable unit to your Sherman Oaks property - flatland or hillside, we’ll find a level spot. Load at your pace, then we transport to our facility. Popular for declutter-and-stage projects before listing a home in the competitive 91423 market.
Declutter & Staging Storage
Sherman Oaks’s hillside homes show better with less clutter. We pack and store non-essential furniture, art, and overflow belongings while your agent stages the property. Once you’re in contract, we deliver to your new place. The same crew handles everything, so nothing gets lost in translation between packers, stagers, and movers.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sherman Oaks
We regularly handle moves involving Budget Truck Rental returns, U-Pack container coordination, and equipment from Uline and Milwaukee for home offices and small businesses relocating within Sherman Oaks. Our trucks carry the straps, dollies, and protective materials to interface with these systems seamlessly - no delays waiting for you to source pads or a hand truck. If you’re combining a self-service truck rental with our loading help, we’ll walk through the equipment condition before we start and document anything pre-existing. For local commercial moves near the Ventura Boulevard corridor, we keep Milwaukee tool chests and Uline shelving systems protected with custom crating when standard pads won’t suffice.
Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in Sherman Oaks Homes
- Hillside truck access failures. A 26-foot moving truck cannot navigate the narrow, steep streets south of Ventura Boulevard - Dixie Canyon Avenue, roads climbing toward Mulholland - yet many movers quote for standard equipment and scramble for shuttles on move day. We survey for access and quote the right truck configuration from the start.
- 405/101 interchange gridlock trapping the truck. Afternoon northbound traffic through Sepulveda Pass starts backing up by 2 p.m. and can strand a loaded truck for hours. We schedule Sherman Oaks moves to clear the area before gridlock hits, or plan routes that avoid the interchange entirely.
- Heat exhaustion on summer moves. Sherman Oaks’s 100-108°F July and August temperatures, 20-25 degrees hotter than the Westside, make midday moves dangerous. We start at 6:30 or 7 a.m., rotate crews, and maintain hydration protocols that coastal LA rarely requires.
- Flatland apartment loading zones. The 1960s-70s two- and three-story buildings north of Ventura often have no elevators and metered parking that expires in two hours. We coordinate with building management for reserved space and bring enough crew to stair-carry efficiently before the meter runs out.

Two factors push Sherman Oaks moves toward the higher end of these ranges: hillside access requiring shuttle trucks and second crews, and summer scheduling that demands earlier start times and additional crew rotation.

FAQs - Moving & Storage in Sherman Oaks
Hillside moves south of Ventura Boulevard require smaller shuttle trucks and often a second crew for long, steep carries - adding equipment and labor costs that flatland moves don’t need. A single-family home on Dixie Canyon Avenue can run 30-50% more than a comparable home north of Ventura for this reason. We identify access constraints during your free survey and quote the actual configuration, not a bait-and-switch. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule.
Book at least 3-4 weeks out for June through August, and request a 6:30 or 7 a.m. start time. The Valley heat hits 100-108°F by late morning, and our crews limit strenuous outdoor work past 11 a.m. on the hottest days. Early starts also beat the 405/101 afternoon gridlock. Call (855) 890-3455 - we keep summer morning slots reserved for binding-quote customers.
Yes - these buildings are common in the 91403 and 91423 ZIP codes north of Ventura, and we move from them weekly. We bring additional crew for efficient stair-carrying, coordinate with your building manager for reserved loading space, and protect common-area floors and walls. The quote includes this labor; we don’t add surprise stair fees on move day. Call (855) 890-3455 for a survey.
Climate-controlled storage for furniture and art, plus container storage if you need gradual access to tools and materials. Hillside homes often lack the flat yard space for a construction dumpster, let alone a storage pod - we can warehouse everything off-site and deliver by room as your contractor finishes each phase. Monthly storage runs $90-$400. Call (855) 890-3455 to plan the sequence.
We route to avoid the Ventura Boulevard choke point whenever possible, and we schedule pickup and delivery windows that clear the area before 2 p.m. northbound gridlock locks down Sepulveda Pass. For moves that must cross the interchange, we build buffer time into your window and keep you updated by phone. One crew, start to finish - no subcontractor handoffs that lose track of your schedule. Call (855) 890-3455 to book a timed window.
