Fast, Reliable Moving & Storage Across Tujunga
Moving and storage in Tujunga demands more than a standard truck and a phone quote. The canyon roads above Foothill Boulevard, the 1940s bungalows with narrow doorways, and the fire-prone foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains create conditions that out-of-area movers routinely underestimate. We know because we’ve been handling them since 2006. Our Moving & Storage team serves Tujunga with binding written quotes, background-checked crews in uniform, and trucks equipped for steep-grade shuttles. Call (855) 890-3455 for a free in-home or video estimate. We’re there when we say we’ll be there.
Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Tujunga’s Preferred Moving & Storage Company
We’ve been moving Tujunga families and businesses for over 20 years, since Dale Whitmore founded Milestone Moving Co. Our reputation here is built on one thing: we show up with the right equipment for the terrain. That means smaller shuttle trucks for the canyon roads off Foothill Boulevard, not just a 26-footer that gets stuck on a 15% grade.
Tujunga residents call us because we’ve handled the specific failures other companies create. Out-of-area movers underbid jobs on Glenoaks Boulevard or Tujunga Canyon Boulevard without walking the driveway first. Then the truck commits to a grade it can’t reverse out of, or the crew realizes too late that the king bed won’t turn through a 1940s doorway. We don’t bid jobs we haven’t surveyed.
Our response time to Tujunga is same-day or next-day for estimates, with crews available for moves within 48 hours during normal scheduling. Live support answers every call, 24/7, including during active moves and the 90 days after delivery. That’s not a voicemail tree. A person who can dispatch a crew or cut a check.
We also understand the compressed timelines fire evacuations create. After the 2009 Station Fire scorched the terrain surrounding Tujunga, a meaningful share of local moves became emergency relocations with chaotic access windows. Our Storage-in-Transit and Climate-Controlled Storage options exist for exactly this: when your rebuild timeline is uncertain and your belongings need to land somewhere safe, immediately.
Our Moving & Storage Services in Tujunga
Storage-in-Transit
Storage-in-Transit in Tujunga runs $90-$400 monthly and is designed for the gap between move-out and move-in. In Tujunga, that gap is often fire-driven, not planned. Our crew handled a fire-driven move on a 1940s bungalow near the Blue Gum Picnic Area trailhead, where the 18% grade driveway and tight side passage to a detached garage meant we had to shuttle every load using a smaller box truck staged on Foothill Boulevard. We disassembled a king bed frame and a bulky modern sofa through the narrow interior doorways, then coordinated with the client’s PODS container for storage-in-transit until their post-fire rebuild was ready. The 90-Day Done Right Promise applied even during the storage period. One call, one crew, no subcontractor handoffs.
Climate-Controlled Storage
Tujunga’s Santa Ana wind events funnel through Big Tujunga Canyon with more intensity than the flat valley below. Temperature swings and dust infiltration can damage wood furniture, electronics, and artwork in standard storage units. Our Climate-Controlled Storage maintains stable temperature and humidity, monitored continuously. Monthly rates run $90-$400 depending on volume. For Tujunga’s hillside homes with limited garage space, this is often the only viable option for protecting valuables during extended renovations or insurance-mandated relocations.
Container Storage
Container Storage gives Tujunga residents flexibility when access is unpredictable. We load a secure container at your residence, even on steep grades where a full truck cannot safely park, then transport it to our facility. This eliminates the double-handling of traditional storage and keeps your inventory sealed from dust and wind. Container storage integrates with our Storage-in-Transit program for fire evacuations where the return date is unknown. The price we quote includes container delivery, loading labor, monthly storage, and final delivery. The number doesn’t move.
Short-Term and Long-Term Storage
Short-term storage in Tujunga covers gaps of days to weeks, typical for closing delays or renovation schedules. Long-term storage serves estate transitions, extended travel, or military deployments from the nearby bases. Both options include full-value protection on everything Milestone packs, backed by the 90-Day Done Right Promise. We do not use third-party warehouses. Your belongings stay in Milestone facilities, inventoried by our own crews, accessible for inspection with advance notice.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tujunga
Our trucks carry Uline packing supplies, Milwaukee tools for on-site furniture disassembly, and Ryder vehicles for shuttle operations on Tujunga’s steeper canyon roads. We maintain our own fleet, garaged in the metros we serve, not rented by the day from U-Haul or other national chains. This means when a Tujunga move requires a smaller shuttle truck because the main rig cannot safely navigate a driveway above 15% grade, we’re not waiting on a rental counter. The equipment is ours, the crew is ours, and the timeline is ours to control. Fast turnaround on Tujunga jobs depends on that readiness.
Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in Tujunga Homes
- Trucks stuck on steep driveways. Driveways on streets above the Foothill Boulevard corridor frequently exceed 15% grade. A fully loaded moving truck that commits to one can be physically unable to reverse out safely. Experienced local movers walk these driveways before pulling the truck in. Out-of-area companies routinely skip this step and underbid the job.
- Oversized furniture won’t fit through bungalow doorways. The dominant housing stock in Tujunga is 1940s-1960s wood-frame bungalows with interior rooms too small to turn large modern sofas or king bed frames through without disassembly. We bring Milwaukee tools and trained crews who can break down and reassemble furniture on-site, not force it and damage the door frame.
- Moves interrupted by Red Flag evacuations. Tujunga sits deep inside a High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. During Santa Ana wind events, roads into upper residential pockets can close with little notice. Movers working here need contingency plans for jobs split mid-load between truck and home. Our Storage-in-Transit program exists for this exact scenario.
- Out-of-area underbids that collapse mid-move. Companies unfamiliar with Tujunga’s terrain quote based on standard flat-valley assumptions, then abandon the job when the shuttle time exceeds their estimate. Our binding written quote accounts for actual driveway grade, access conditions, and required equipment. The number we give is the number you pay.

FAQs - Moving & Storage in Tujunga
No, and assuming it can is how moves fail here. A standard 26-foot moving truck cannot safely complete many of Tujunga’s canyon roads above Foothill Boulevard, where grades frequently exceed 15% and narrow passages prevent turnaround. We stage on flat connectors like Foothill Boulevard and shuttle loads in smaller vehicles. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll walk your driveway during the estimate to confirm the right equipment.
Yes. Our Storage-in-Transit and Climate-Controlled Storage programs are designed for compressed timelines and uncertain return dates. We can load and store your belongings within 24 hours of contact during active evacuation periods, with inventory tracking and the 90-Day Done Right Promise protecting everything we handle. Call (855) 890-3455 for immediate coordination.
We monitor National Weather Service alerts continuously and maintain direct communication with crews in the field. If a Red Flag warning escalates to mandatory evacuation during your move, we execute a pre-planned contingency: securing the truck load, documenting inventory status, and transferring remaining items to Storage-in-Transit if road closure prevents completion. We do not leave your belongings split between locations without a documented plan. Call (855) 890-3455 to discuss contingency protocols for your specific address.
Yes, through professional disassembly and reassembly. Tujunga’s 1940s-1960s bungalows have interior rooms and doorways that will not accommodate modern king bed frames, sectional sofas, or oversized armoires without breakdown. Our crews carry Milwaukee tools and are trained to disassemble, protect, transport, and reassemble furniture on-site. This is included in the binding quote when identified during survey. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule a free in-home or video estimate.
Yes. Our binding written quote follows a real in-person or video survey of your home, including walking the driveway to confirm grade, width, and turnaround options. We do not quote from a street address alone. The price we quote is the price you pay. It will not increase on move day because we failed to account for shuttle requirements. Call (855) 890-3455 for a free estimate that reflects your actual conditions.
