Commercial & Storage
Storage
Possession dates don't always line up. We pick up, store your things securely and deliver them when the new place is ready.
Selling before you buy, renovating, waiting on a new build or moving for a short contract: there are plenty of reasons to store your things for a while. Homeward Moving Co. offers moving and storage together, so your belongings are wrapped once, moved once into storage and moved once to the new home.
What's included
- Pick-up — we pack, wrap and load at your home, just like a regular move.
- Inventory — everything listed going in, so you know exactly what's in storage.
- Secure storage — a monitored facility with your belongings kept wrapped and off the floor.
- Short or long term — a few weeks between closings or many months during a renovation.
- Delivery — brought to your new home when you're ready, and placed room by room.
- Business storage — furniture, files and stock stored during office moves or renovations.
How moving and storage works
- Plan the dates. Your move-out, how long you'll need storage and roughly when you'll move in.
- Pack and pick up. Wrapped, inventoried and loaded.
- Store. Kept secure until you call.
- Deliver. Moved in and placed at the new home.
What not to store
Food, plants, flammable liquids, propane, paint and anything hazardous can't go into storage. Keep important documents and valuables with you. Storage pairs well with a long-distance move or downsizing, and you can price it in the instant moving estimate.
Need only part of your home stored? We can deliver some things to the new home and take the rest into storage on the same day.
What affects the cost of storage
Storage prices depend on how much you're storing and for how long. Pick-up, packing and delivery are priced like a move, and storage is charged by the month. Larger homes take more space, and access requests while your things are stored may add a handling fee. Combining moving and storage usually costs less than renting a unit and moving twice yourself. Sorting what you'll need soon from what can stay packed also helps, because items you'll need back early can be stored where they're easy to reach. We'll confirm every cost in writing before your belongings go into storage.
Storage questions
Can I get to my things while they're in storage?
Ask about access when you book. Some storage is accessed by appointment, and we can bring out specific items if you need them.
How long can I store my belongings?
As long as you need, from a couple of weeks between closings to many months during a renovation or a new build.
Is my furniture wrapped in storage?
Yes. Furniture stays blanket-wrapped and is kept off the floor, and boxes are stacked so nothing gets crushed.
Do you store business items?
Yes. Office furniture, files and stock can be stored during a move, renovation or downsizing.
Is storage priced by the month?
Yes. Storage is charged monthly, and pick-up, packing and delivery are priced like a regular move, so you know the full cost before you book.
