Closing dates slip, leases don't overlap perfectly, and sometimes you just need somewhere for your things to sit for a few weeks. Short-term storage bridges that gap so you're not scrambling to find somewhere to put everything between homes.

How it works with your move

Ask whether loading, storage, and later delivery can be included. Availability, conditions, access, and delivery terms must be confirmed in writing.

What's a good fit for short-term storage

A gap of a few days to a few months between homes, staging a house for sale, or downsizing over time are all common reasons customers use short-term storage.

Long-term needs

If you're looking at several months or longer, see our long-term storage page — the planning and pricing structure is a little different.

Short-Term Storage FAQ

How long can I keep things in short-term storage?+

Available storage periods vary. Confirm the allowed duration and current terms before booking.

Is my furniture safe in storage?+

Ask about facility conditions, handling, insurance or valuation options, and climate control before placing items in storage.

Can you deliver my things straight from storage to my new home?+

Delivery from storage may be available. Confirm the destination, scheduling, and fees in writing.

Do I need to pack everything before it goes into storage?+

Preparation requirements depend on the items and storage arrangement. Confirm packaging requirements and ask whether packing help is available.

What if I only need to store a few items, not my whole house?+

Ask about minimums, capacity, and eligibility for the items you need stored.

How much does short-term storage cost?+

Pricing depends on volume, duration, conditions, access, and related services. Request written storage pricing and confirm whether it is separate from the move quote.

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.
