Moving can be a challenging process, often requiring detailed planning, time management, and careful handling of your belongings. Whether you’re relocating locally or long-distance, the need for secure storage solutions can arise during the transition. Moving and storage services combine the logistics of moving with the convenience of short- or long-term storage, making it easier for individuals and families to manage the complexities of relocation.
At Laurel Movers, we understand that every move is unique, and so are your storage needs. Our comprehensive moving and storage services are designed to provide flexibility, security, and peace of mind during your move. Whether you’re downsizing, moving to a temporary residence, or need extra space for your belongings, we offer tailored solutions to ensure that your move is as seamless as possible.
What Are Moving and Storage Services?
Moving and storage services encompass a wide range of solutions to facilitate the relocation process. This can include professional packing, transportation of your belongings, and secure storage options for items that need to be stored temporarily or for an extended period. These services are particularly useful for individuals or businesses undergoing complex moves, renovations, or those facing delayed move-in dates at their new location.
Storage can range from short-term solutions (for a few weeks or months) to long-term storage (spanning several years), depending on your specific needs. At Laurel Movers, we offer both climate-controlled and standard storage units in secure facilities to ensure your belongings are protected, no matter how long they need to stay.
Why Use Moving and Storage Services?
There are many reasons why moving and storage services are essential during the moving process. Here are some key advantages:
1. Flexibility During Transitions
Relocation often involves a waiting period between moving out of your old home and moving into the new one. This could be due to various reasons, such as closing delays on a new house, renovating a new space, or needing temporary housing. In these cases, moving and storage services allow you to store your belongings safely until you’re ready to complete the move. This flexibility helps reduce the stress of trying to coordinate all aspects of your move at once.
2. Secure Storage for Valuables
Sometimes, it’s not feasible to move all of your belongings to your new home immediately, especially if you’re downsizing or undergoing renovations. Instead of overcrowding your new space or risking damage to valuable items during construction, moving and storage services offer secure, climate-controlled storage units to protect sensitive belongings such as electronics, antiques, and important documents.
At Laurel Movers, we prioritize the safety and security of your possessions. Our storage facilities are monitored 24/7, equipped with fire suppression systems, and are accessible only to authorized personnel, ensuring your belongings remain safe.
3. Simplified Logistics
Coordinating a move involves numerous moving parts, from packing to scheduling transportation and unloading at your new location. By opting for moving and storage services, you streamline the process. With a single company handling both the transportation and storage of your items, you avoid the hassle of dealing with multiple vendors and contracts. This one-stop solution allows for better coordination, reduced risk of lost or damaged items, and a smoother overall moving experience.
4. Temporary Storage Solutions
Sometimes, you may not need long-term storage, but rather a short-term solution to manage the moving timeline. Moving and storage services are ideal for those moments when you require temporary storage for a few weeks or months. This could be during a gap between lease agreements, home staging before selling, or while you finalize decisions on furniture placement in your new home.
5. Space Optimization for Downsizing
For those moving into smaller homes or apartments, downsizing can be a challenge. While you may want to keep certain items, there may not be immediate space for them in your new home. Storage services offer a practical solution by giving you the extra time and space to decide what to do with excess belongings without the pressure of discarding valuable or sentimental items hastily.

Once packed, we transport your belongings with care, ensuring they reach our storage facility or your new home safely and on schedule. Our fleet of modern moving trucks is equipped with GPS tracking, providing real-time updates and secure transport.
2. Secure, Climate-Controlled Storage Units
At Laurel Movers, we offer state-of-the-art storage facilities that are climate-controlled, ensuring that your belongings are kept in optimal conditions. Items that are sensitive to temperature and humidity changes—such as electronics, artwork, antiques, and important documents—are best stored in a climate-controlled environment to prevent damage from extreme weather conditions.
Our storage units come in various sizes, allowing you to store anything from a few boxes to the contents of an entire house. Whether you need short-term or long-term storage, we have options to fit your specific requirements.

Temporary storage is ideal for those undergoing home renovations or waiting for their new property to be ready. Long-term storage, on the other hand, offers peace of mind for those who need to keep items securely stored for extended periods without worrying about access or safety.
4. Furniture Storage
For those who may not have immediate use for certain pieces of furniture, but want to keep them in good condition, we provide dedicated furniture storage solutions. Our team can disassemble larger items for easier storage and transportation and reassemble them when you’re ready to retrieve them. Furniture is kept in clean, climate-controlled conditions to prevent wear and tear during the storage period.
5. Specialty Item Storage
Certain items require special care when being stored. This includes musical instruments like pianos, artwork, antiques, and other valuables. At Laurel Movers, we offer specialized storage options for these items, including custom crating and padded storage areas to ensure maximum protection. We treat your valuables as if they were our own, ensuring they remain in pristine condition during storage.
6. Flexible Access and Retrieval
We understand that your storage needs might change, and you may need access to your belongings before completing your move.
