Sometimes the closing dates don't line up, and that's exactly when our short-term storage keeps your DC move on track between homes. Your belongings sit in our clean, secure facility for a few days or a few months, billed at a simple monthly rate with no long contract.

It's a common bridge for renters juggling an apartment move, and it also smooths out timing when a relocation to a spot like Richmond has a gap between move-out and move-in.

01 Overview

When The Dates Don’t Line Up

Closing on the new place a few weeks after you leave the old one? We move your things out, hold them padded and inventoried in secure storage, and redeliver when you’re ready. One crew, one company, no re-handling by strangers. A $99 deposit holds the job and comes off your bill.

  • We load your DC home and inventory every item with a tag
  • Goods stay wrapped in a clean, secured facility
  • Flexible hold from a few days to a couple of months
  • Redelivery by our own W-2 crew when your new place is ready
  • Danny logs each piece in and out so nothing goes missing

  • Numbered inventory of every stored item
  • Furniture kept padded and shrink-wrapped
  • Secure, clean, monitored storage space
  • Flexible short-term hold windows

How we quote it

One flat rate, in writing, after a quick walkthrough or video estimate — built from your real inventory, never an hourly meter. The price on the sheet is the price you pay, with no hidden fees.

Built for DC

We Know How Washington Moves Actually Work

Row houses, high-rises, historic blocks and permit-only parking — the details that trip up out-of-town movers are routine for our crews.

Building COIs & elevators

We file certificates of insurance and reserve the freight elevator with building management before move day.

Permit & loading-zone parking

We pull the temporary no-parking permits so the truck sits legally at your curb, not a block away.

Row-house stairs & walk-ups

Narrow original staircases and third-floor walk-ups in Capitol Hill and Adams Morgan are an everyday job for our crews.

Historic & landmark homes

Floor protection, doorway padding, and careful handling for older DC homes with original details worth keeping.

High-rise & condo rules

Elevator windows, dock reservations, and HOA move-in requirements handled ahead of time so nothing stalls.

Short-term storage

Closing dates that don’t line up? We hold your goods in our secured DC facility and redeliver when you’re ready.

02 How we protect your move

Your things, handled like our own

Every job rolls with the gear to keep furniture, floors, and fragile pieces safe — before a single box goes on the truck.

Quilted moving blankets

Every dresser, table, and headboard is padded and shrink-wrapped before it moves an inch.

Shrink-wrap & stretch film

Drawers stay shut, cushions stay clean, and upholstery stays sealed against dust and weather.

Floor & doorway protection

Floor runners, rail wraps, and door-jamb pads go down first so your home takes no hits.

Custom crating

Mirrors, glass tops, artwork, and TVs get purpose-built boxes and corner protection.

Disassembly & reassembly

Beds, tables, and large pieces come apart, ride safe, and go back together at the new place.

Straps, dollies & lifts

Proper tie-downs and equipment for stairs, basements, and heavy pieces — no shortcuts.

Washington customers on this service

★★★★★

“Booked them after two other companies wanted to charge hourly and pad it out. Flat rate, one price in writing, done in an afternoon. They even reserved the metered spots out front so we didn't get ticketed.”

— Daniel Osei, Columbia Heights · Yelp
★★★★★

“High-rise near the ballpark, so I needed a COI for the building management and they sent it over same day without me chasing them. The move itself was smooth and the guys were respectful of the elevator padding rules.”

— James Okafor, Navy Yard · Yelp
★★★★★

“We moved out of a narrow row house near Eastern Market and the crew handled that tight staircase like pros. Devon and Ray had the whole first floor wrapped and out before the parking permit window even closed.”

— Gerald Whitfield, Capitol Hill · Google
