Short-Term Storage

Climate-controlled vaults from $70/month — for the gap between homes, a closing delay, or a staging.

Sometimes the move-out and the move-in don’t line up. A closing slips, the new place needs a coat of paint, or you’re staging the old one empty to sell. District High Quality Movers keeps a climate-controlled storage facility for exactly that gap — somewhere your furniture waits, padded and safe, until you’re ready for it.

Vaults start at $70 a month, the same careful crew loads them, and we deliver to your door when the timing finally works out.

Our storage runs by the vault, a self-contained wooden container that we pack tight and pad just like the truck. Your belongings go into your own vaults rather than getting scattered across an open floor, so nothing gets nicked by someone else’s load and everything comes back the way it went in.

The space is climate-controlled, which matters in the Mid-Atlantic. DC summers are hot and humid and the winters bring the occasional ice; wood furniture, electronics, and anything upholstered don’t belong in an un-conditioned unit through either. Ours holds a steady environment year-round.

When Storage Helps

People use short-term storage for a handful of common situations.

Between homes

Your lease ends before the new place is ready, so we hold everything and deliver when you move in.

Closing-gap

A settlement date moves and you need somewhere for a few weeks without rushing the move twice.

Staging a sale

You’re clearing out furniture to show the home empty, so store it now, bring it back later.

What Storage Costs

Pricing is simple and by the month, with no long contract to get out of.

What’s Not Included

  • Long-term storage, since this is built for short gaps; ask us if you need months on end
  • Hazardous materials, perishables, and anything flammable can’t be stored
  • 24/7 self-access, since vaults are warehouse-stored, so retrieval is scheduled, not drop-in
  • The delivery move itself, which is quoted alongside your in and out

Whatever the reason for the gap, your things stay under our care the whole time — loaded, stored, and delivered by the same company, with up to $1,000,000 cargo coverage per shipment.

Questions we hear a lot

How much does short-term storage cost?
Vaults start at $70 per month, climate-controlled, and you’re billed month-to-month with no long contract. Moving your belongings into and out of storage is quoted alongside your move, and a $129 deposit holds your dates and comes off the total.
Is the storage climate-controlled?
Yes. The facility holds a steady temperature and humidity year-round, which matters through a humid DC summer and an icy winter. Wood furniture, upholstery, and electronics keep much better in a conditioned space than in an un-controlled unit, so everything stays in the same shape it went in.
Can I get my things out on short notice?
Your vaults are warehouse-stored rather than a drive-up unit, so we schedule retrieval and delivery rather than offering 24/7 drop-in access. Give us a little notice and we’ll set a delivery date that works — usually within a few days, often sooner depending on the schedule.
Who loads and unloads the storage?
The same uniformed crew that handles your move. Your furniture is padded and loaded into the vaults the same careful way it goes on the truck, stays in our care the whole time, and is delivered by us when you’re ready — there’s no second company or third party in the chain.
