We’ve built our reputation in University Park one binding quote at a time. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means that if anything we moved or packed isn’t right, one call brings a crew or a check - not a claim form that disappears into a subcontractor’s voicemail.

A live person answers our phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - before your move, during your move, and when you need us 47 days after delivery. That matters in University Park, where moves often coordinate with construction timelines that don’t follow business hours.

Our Moving & Storage Services in University Park
Short-Term Storage
Sometimes you need a gap bridged. Closing dates don’t align. Renovations run over. Our short-term storage keeps your items secure for days or weeks while your timeline sorts itself out. In University Park, where real estate moves fast and construction schedules slip, we’ve stored everything from apartment loads to full household inventories between closings. Units are accessible by appointment, and we inventory everything on intake so nothing gets lost in the shuffle.
Long-Term Storage
University Park’s tear-down/rebuild cycle means many families need storage for 12-24 months while their old home is demolished and a 6,000-9,000 sq ft custom build rises on the same lot - a demand that’s absent in neighboring Dallas proper. We recently handled a long-term storage move for a family on Amherst Avenue whose 1950s ranch was slated for demolition; we spent a full day carefully wrapping a grand piano, a wine collection, and several large-format artworks before loading everything into climate-controlled units, scheduling the move for a 7 a.m. start to beat the July heat and coordinating with University Park police for proper truck staging permits. Monthly rates run $90-$400 depending on volume, and we offer flexible access schedules for clients who need to retrieve items during construction.
Climate-Controlled Storage
Dallas-area summers routinely push above 105°F by July and August, making University Park moves during peak real-estate season physically grueling and time-sensitive. Our climate-controlled storage maintains stable temperature and humidity levels to protect fine art, wine collections, antique wood pieces, and electronics from heat damage during loading, transit, and storage. Monthly rates match our standard storage at $90-$400 - we don’t penalize you for protecting your belongings properly. Every unit is monitored and accessible by appointment.
Storage-in-Transit
Not every move is point A to point B. Sometimes you need your belongings held securely while you finalize a purchase, wait for a certificate of occupancy, or coordinate a multi-leg relocation. Our storage-in-transit service holds your loaded inventory in our secured warehouse, with monthly rates of $90-$400. In University Park, where custom builds often face inspection delays and permit holds, this service prevents the nightmare of double-handling - unloading into a temporary space, then reloading for the final move. Your items stay packed and inventoried once, moved once more when you’re ready.

Trusted Brands We Service in University Park
We maintain equipment compatibility with major moving and storage brands including U-Pack containers, Uline packing supplies, and Milwaukee tool systems for specialty disassembly.

For clients using U-Pack for a hybrid long-distance relocation, we coordinate loading and unloading with our own crews, ensuring the accountability of Milestone’s uniformed technicians even when a rental container is involved. We don’t subcontract to unknown labor. If we’re touching your belongings, we’re wearing our shirts.
Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in University Park Homes
- Underestimating storage duration during tear-down rebuilds. Families plan for 6 months of storage and face 18 months when permits, weather, or contractor delays stretch the timeline. We build flexibility into every long-term contract and check in at 90-day intervals to adjust as needed.
- Scheduling moves in peak summer heat without morning starts. July and August afternoons in University Park destroy fine art, wine, and antique wood. We schedule 7 a.m. starts and use climate-controlled transport for vulnerable items - no exceptions during heat warnings.
- Ignoring University Park’s independent police permitting for commercial vehicles. The city enforces parking and staging ordinances strictly on narrow streets lined with mature post oaks. Crews who don’t pre-coordinate permits face fines and forced mid-job relocation. We handle this paperwork before truck wheels touch asphalt.
- Assuming standard moving labor can handle oversized custom furnishings. New construction in University Park features grand curved staircases, elevator shafts, and furniture scaled for 6,000+ sq ft homes. Our crews train on specialty equipment for these exact scenarios - piano boards, custom crating, and four-man lifts for pieces that won’t fit standard dollies.
Pricing for Moving & Storage in University Park, FL
Storage in University Park runs $90-$400 monthly depending on unit size, climate control, and access frequency. Long-term contracts for 12+ months may qualify for rate locks. Here’s how our storage pricing breaks down:
| Service | Monthly Range |
|---|---|
| Long-Term Storage | $90-$400 |
| Climate-Controlled Storage | $90-$400 |
| Storage-in-Transit | $90-$400 |
What moves the needle within these ranges: volume (measured in cubic feet or container count), climate control requirement, insurance valuation, and access frequency. A full household inventory from a 4,000 sq ft home with art and wine storage needs more space and tighter climate control than a partial staging storage for decluttering.
Every storage client receives a binding written quote after a real in-home or video survey. The number doesn’t change. Current offers include $250 off moves over $2,500, free wardrobe boxes on full-service moves, and free estimates with no obligation. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule your survey.

University Park’s independent municipal police require pre-coordinated commercial vehicle permits for truck staging on residential streets. We handle this paperwork as part of our standard pre-move planning - not as an add-on, not as your problem to solve.
