Some situations call for storage measured in months rather than weeks. Ask about current duration limits, conditions, access, insurance or valuation options, and pricing.

Common long-term situations

Military deployments and overseas PCS orders, an extended stay with family while house-hunting, downsizing a portion of a household while deciding what to do with the rest, or an estate situation still being sorted out.

What matters for long-term storage

Items sitting for months or years benefit more from climate control than a short-term stay would — see our climate-controlled storage page if that's relevant to what you're storing (wood furniture, electronics, instruments, documents).

Getting your things back

Ask whether delivery from storage is available and confirm destination, scheduling, and fees in writing.

Long-Term Storage FAQ

Is there a minimum or maximum length for long-term storage?+

Duration limits vary. Confirm the minimum, maximum, and renewal terms for your arrangement.

Do you offer this for military families specifically?+

Military customers should ask about current eligibility, duration, documentation, and delivery terms.

Should I use climate-controlled storage for a long-term stay?+

Ask about available storage conditions and choose them based on the items, manufacturer guidance, and the written storage terms.

Can you deliver my things directly to a new address when I'm ready?+

Delivery may be available. Confirm the address, timing, access requirements, and fees in writing.

Do you bring your own moving equipment, like dollies?+

Yes — every crew brings furniture dollies, hand trucks, and moving straps as standard equipment. You don't need to provide or rent anything.

Do you provide floor runners or floor protection in the house?+

Yes — floor runners and protective coverings are standard on every move, especially for hardwood, tile, and carpeted stairs. It's not an upcharge or something you need to request separately.

Do you protect the furniture with moving pads?+

Yes — furniture is wrapped in moving pads and blankets before it's loaded, to protect it from scuffs and damage in transit. This is standard on every move.

Do you wrap furniture in plastic or shrink wrap too?+

For upholstered furniture, mattresses, and anything that benefits from an extra layer — especially in Florida's humidity — yes, shrink wrap over the moving pads is common practice.

Will you protect doorways, corners, and railings during the move?+

Yes — door jamb protection and corner guards are part of our standard setup, especially in tighter hallways, stairwells, and apartment or condo buildings.

Do you strap items down in the truck so nothing shifts in transit?+

Yes — everything is strapped and secured in the truck before we drive, so nothing shifts, tips, or slides during transport.
