Storage That Fits Between Moves
Sometimes the old house has to be empty before the new one is ready. Sometimes you need furniture out of the way during a renovation. HHG Movers offers climate-controlled household-goods storage and 8×16 on-site storage containers to bridge the gap.
Storage at a Glance
Store It With Us — or Keep It at Your Property
The right storage option depends on whether you want the furniture completely out of the way or close by while you work through a move, renovation or transition.
Climate-Controlled Household-Goods Storage
Best when furniture needs to leave the property entirely. HHG Movers can move household goods into storage and then deliver them when the next home or project is ready.
- Closing dates do not line up
- Temporary housing between homes
- Long-distance move with a delayed destination
- Furniture needs to be out of the house during work or repairs
8×16 On-Site Storage Container
Best when you want storage right at the property. The container can be placed on a suitable driveway for renovations, decluttering, staging or temporary household overflow.
- Renovation or flooring project
- Home staging or decluttering
- Temporary overflow during a move
- Keep belongings close without filling the house
What Does Household-Goods Storage Cost?
These are online planning examples for a normally furnished, fully furnished home of the size shown. The actual amount of furniture in your home can change the storage needed.
A Simple Monthly Number
The 8×16 container is for customers who want storage at the property rather than moving everything into an off-site warehouse.
The Move Is Easy. The Timing Is the Hard Part.
Storage becomes valuable when the calendar is what is making the move difficult.
Closing Date Gap
The current home closes Friday, but the new home is not available until the following week. Storage gives the household somewhere to go in between.
New Construction Delay
Flooring, paint, punch-list work or a delayed certificate of occupancy can push move-in back even after the old house is ready to close.
Temporary Housing
If you are staying with family, in a rental or in short-term housing, furniture can remain stored until you are ready for delivery.
Renovation
Furniture can be moved out of the way while floors, paint, cabinets or other work is completed.
Home Staging
An on-site container can help reduce clutter and temporarily clear rooms before photos, showings or listing.
Long-Distance Timing
If a destination is delayed, storage can be worked into a long-distance move rather than forcing delivery before the home is ready.
One Company Can Move It In — and Move It Back Out
The advantage of mover-operated household-goods storage is that the storage step can be planned together with the move instead of becoming a separate DIY project.
Move Into Storage
HHG Movers can load the household and move it into climate-controlled storage when the destination is not ready.
Hold Between Dates
The household stays stored during the gap instead of being unloaded into a temporary home just to be moved again.
Deliver When Ready
When the destination is ready, HHG Movers can schedule the delivery out of storage and into the new home.
Warehouse or On-Site Container?
Both solve a storage problem, but they solve different kinds of problems.
Choose Climate-Controlled Warehouse Storage If...
- You need the furniture completely off the property
- You are between homes
- The destination date is uncertain
- You want storage built into the moving plan
- You do not need daily access to the furniture
Choose an 8×16 On-Site Container If...
- You want the belongings kept at your property
- You are renovating one room at a time
- You want easy access during the storage period
- You are decluttering or staging the home
- You have a suitable driveway for placement
Show Us What Is Actually Going Into Storage
Bedroom count is useful, but garages, extra refrigerators, patio furniture, safes, exercise equipment and full storage rooms can change how much space the household needs.
Choose the Need
Tell us whether this is between homes, renovation storage, staging, temporary overflow or something else.
Show the Inventory
Use the walkthrough to show the rooms, garage, storage areas and specialty pieces that need to be stored.
Pick the Storage Type
We can help determine whether warehouse storage or an on-site container makes more sense for the situation.
Build It Into the Move
If storage is part of a move, the loading, storage period and later delivery can be planned together.
Make Storage Easier on Yourself Later
Good storage planning is really about making the next move easier.
Do Not Store Daily Essentials
Keep medications, documents, chargers, important papers, work equipment and anything you may need during the storage period with you.
Label by Destination Room
Boxes labeled “Kitchen,” “Primary Bedroom” or “Office” are much easier to deliver correctly when storage comes back out.
Tell Us What Is Fragile
Artwork, TVs, glass, antiques and specialty items should be identified before storage so the move and protection plan can be built around them.
Questions Customers Ask About HHG Storage
What storage options does HHG Movers offer?
HHG Movers offers climate-controlled household-goods warehouse storage and 8×16 on-site storage containers.
How much does climate-controlled storage cost?
Planning examples for normally furnished, fully furnished homes are about $80 per month for a studio or 1-bedroom apartment, $140 for a 2-bedroom apartment, $146 for a 3-bedroom apartment, $140 for a 2-bedroom house, $210 for a 3-bedroom house and $400 for a 4-bedroom house.
Why can two homes with the same bedroom count have different storage needs?
Garages, attics, outdoor furniture, extra appliances, packed closets and specialty items can add a large amount of household goods even when the bedroom count is the same.
How much is the 8×16 on-site container?
The on-site container is $300 up front for empty delivery and empty pickup, plus $150 per month.
Can HHG Movers move the container while it is loaded?
No. The 8×16 container stays at the property while loaded. HHG Movers does not transport it with customer belongings inside.
Can you store my furniture between closing dates?
Yes. This is one of the most common reasons to use household-goods storage. We can discuss moving the household into storage and delivering it when the new home is ready.
Can storage be part of a long-distance move?
Yes. If the destination is delayed, storage can be incorporated into the move plan before the written quote is finalized.
Is warehouse storage climate controlled?
Yes. HHG Movers offers climate-controlled household-goods warehouse storage.
Can I use an on-site container during a renovation?
Yes. Renovations, flooring projects, staging and temporary household overflow are good uses for an on-site container when the property has suitable placement space.
How do I know which storage option is right for me?
If you want the furniture completely off-site or need storage between homes, warehouse storage is usually the better fit. If you want easy access to belongings at the property, the on-site container may make more sense.
Can you move my household into storage and then deliver it later?
Yes. When storage is part of a household move, HHG Movers can plan the move into storage and the later delivery back out.
