Short-Term and Between-Sale Storage

Around the South Shore, the dates rarely cooperate. The sale closes ahead of the new place, or a buyer pushes for a quick closing while your move-in still sits weeks away. For exactly those gaps, we take the entire load into storage, secured and kept clean and dry, then deliver it the day you are set, all on one written quote. No renting a unit across town and no hauling everything twice.

How It Works

The crew loads your home with the same care it brings to any job, runs it to our storage, and keeps it on padded, inventoried lots right up to your closing date. Once the new place opens up, that same crew pulls it out and sets it up. Nothing gets double-handled on your side, and there is no last-minute hunt for a self-storage unit in the thick of the busy season.

What We Store For South Shore Families

  • An entire household held between a sale and a closing when the two dates miss each other
  • Off-season storage for snowbirds heading down to the Cape or Florida for the winter
  • The overflow while a Quincy or Hingham renovation gets finished
  • The contents of a staged home when the realtor wants the rooms cleared for showings
  • Seasonal furniture and the harbor-house pieces that sit idle most of the year
Unit size Typical monthly
Small (studio load) $130 to $190
Medium (1 to 2 bed) $200 to $290
Large (3 bed and up) $300 to $360

Pair it with a move and the first month is frequently half price.

Clean, Dry, and Inventoried

As it goes in, each piece is padded, wrapped, and written onto an inventory sheet, so there is a clear record of exactly what is in there. Deirdre lines the storage timing up with your closing, and with your COI too when the delivery lands in a Boston building, so the hand-off stays clean.

One Quote, Move to Delivery

The load, the storage, and the delivery all get costed into one written figure, so nothing comes back padded when you are finally ready to settle in. Whoever packed the three-decker is the same crew that pulls it out of storage and carries it up the new stairs.

By-the-Hour Crews

Starting from$159/hr

That South Shore hourly rate covers a two-mover crew on a two-hour minimum, the truck rolling up to your Quincy curb, and the whole kit riding in the back — floor runners for the three-decker stairs, quilted pads, straps, ramps, and dollies all in. Every one of those is baked into the quoted rate; nothing on that list gets tacked back onto your invoice as a surprise charge once the day is done.

Sean and team were wonderful to work with! The guys were on time, incredibly careful with our belongings, and made the move feel painless. They also went out of their way to make sure furniture was assembled and placed correctly! Will definitely work with them again in the future. Highly recommend. 5 stars.

Common questions

The things South Shore customers ask us most before this kind of move

What if my sale closes before my new place is ready?
This is precisely the situation it solves. The crew loads your home, parks the whole load in clean, dry storage, and runs the delivery once the new place opens up. It all sits on one written quote, so there is no moving everything twice and no scrambling for a self-storage unit.
How much does storage cost?
Figure somewhere between $130 and $360 a month based on how big your load is, with the first month frequently half price when the storage is booked alongside a move with us. The storage months go into the same written figure as the move and the delivery, so nothing catches you off guard.
Is my stuff safe and accounted for?
It is. As it enters storage, each piece gets padded, wrapped, and written onto an inventory sheet, then sits on secured, clean, dry lots. There is a clear record of everything in there, and Deirdre times the delivery to your closing.
Do you store for snowbirds over the winter?
We do that often. A good many South Shore families head to the Cape or Florida for the season and leave the household with us until spring. We keep it clean and dry and have it back and set up by the time you return.
