Fast, Reliable Moving & Storage Across Stratmoor
Milestone Moving Co. has handled moves in and out of Stratmoor’s post-war ranch neighborhoods since 2006. We’re familiar with the narrow doorways on Babcock Road, the tight garage clearances near Stratmoor Hills Elementary, and the sudden May snowstorms that can derail a loading schedule at 6,000 feet. If you’re stationed at Fort Carson and facing a PCS with a 30-day window, or you’re a civilian family staging a home near the 80902 zip, we answer our phones live 24/7 at (855) 890-3455. Most Stratmoor calls reach a crew chief within minutes, and we typically schedule in-home or video surveys within 48 hours.
Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Stratmoor’s Preferred Moving & Storage Company
We’ve built our reputation in El Paso County on binding quotes and uniformed crews, not on being the cheapest option. Stratmoor customers find us because they’ve heard the horror stories, the ones about quotes that doubled on the ramp or crews that showed up in unmarked trucks. That doesn’t happen here.
Our reviews from Stratmoor and the surrounding Security-Widefield area consistently mention the same things: the crew called before knocking, the quote matched the final bill, and someone picked up the phone at 10 PM when a question came up. We don’t use day labor or gig workers. Every mover on your job is background-checked, wears a Milestone uniform, and is on our payroll. The crew that loads your home is the crew that delivers it.
Response time to Stratmoor is typically same-day or next-day for surveys, with move scheduling available within a week during off-peak months and two to three weeks during summer PCS season. We know the local roads, the Fort Carson gate traffic patterns, and the specific challenges of mid-century ranch layouts. That local knowledge saves hours on move day.
Our Moving & Storage team has managed everything from full household PCS relocations to short-term staging for families selling homes near Widefield Park. We put every quote in writing after a real survey, and that number is locked in by our Move-Right Guarantee.
Our Moving & Storage Services in Stratmoor
Short-Term Storage
Stratmoor’s tight PCS timelines often create gaps between closing and delivery dates. A family receiving orders in June might need to clear their ranch on Babcock Road by July 15th while their new assignment housing isn’t ready until August. Our short-term storage runs month-to-month at $90-$400, with prorated terms if you only need two or three weeks. We inventory every item, photograph condition at intake, and store in our own facility, not a third-party warehouse. Access requires 24-hour notice, and we can stage delivery to coincide with your housing availability.
Long-Term Storage
Deployments from Fort Carson sometimes extend beyond the initial estimate. When a service member’s orders change and household goods need to stay in Colorado for 8, 12, or 18 months, we shift short-term storage to a discounted long-term rate. Climate monitoring continues. Your inventory stays current. And when you’re ready, one call triggers delivery scheduling to your new address, whether that’s back in Stratmoor or across the country. We’ve stored dining sets from 1960s ranches and full household loads from newer infill near Fontaine Boulevard, always with the same inventory controls.
Climate-Controlled Storage
At 6,000 feet, Stratmoor sees temperature swings that can damage wood furniture, musical instruments, and electronics. Our climate-controlled units maintain stable temperature and humidity year-round, protecting against the dry winter air that cracks antique dressers and the summer heat that warps vinyl records. Military families storing household goods during a deployment to Fort Carson’s partner units particularly request this option for heirloom furniture and professional gear. The monthly rate falls within our standard $90-$400 storage range, with climate control at the higher end depending on volume.
Storage-in-Transit
This is the service we deploy most often during Stratmoor’s peak PCS season. Storage-in-Transit means we load your household, hold it in our secured facility for up to 90 days, then deliver when your housing is ready. The entire move stays under one bill of lading, one inventory sheet, and one point of accountability. No transferring between carriers. No separate warehouse fees from a company you’ve never met. For Fort Carson families navigating DPS timelines that shift with housing availability, this eliminates the risk of your shipment being split between multiple handlers. We handled a summer PCS move from a 1968 ranch on Ponderosa Drive, where the customer’s upright piano wouldn’t clear the 74-inch doorway. Our crew used a high-angle dolly and removed the legs and lid, then strapped it into our climate-controlled storage unit for three weeks until their new home was ready.

Trusted Brands We Service in Stratmoor
Our crews arrive with equipment built for demanding conditions. We stock Uline moving blankets and edge protectors rated for repeated use on tight corners, Milwaukee cordless tools for quick furniture disassembly, and Ryder-maintained trucks spec’d for mountain grades. For military members using U-Pack as a partial DIY option, we provide the loading and unloading labor, treating your container with the same inventory controls we use on our own trucks. Every piece of equipment is inspected before it reaches Stratmoor. A torn blanket or a dolly with a sticky wheel doesn’t make it onto your job.
Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in Stratmoor Homes
- Late-spring snowstorms in May canceling truck loading. At Stratmoor’s elevation, measurable snow falls into the third week of May with little warning. We build weather contingencies into every June move, with covered loading options and flexible scheduling if a storm hits your pack date.
- Underestimating DPS paperwork and weight allowances. Fort Carson families who don’t verify their entitlement weight before we arrive risk overage penalties or last-minute rescheduling. We review DPS documentation during the survey phase and flag discrepancies before load day.
- Attempting to move pianos or large sectionals through narrow mid-century hallways without disassembly. Stratmoor’s 1950s and 1960s ranches often have 28-inch interior doors and 74-inch exterior openings. Our crews measure every pathway during survey and bring the tools to break down and reassemble furniture that won’t clear.
- Low garage ceilings blocking tall items. Many Stratmoor garages were built for the sedans of the 1960s, not modern refrigerators or armoires. We route these items through front doors or windows when possible, with protection for thresholds and frames.
