Short-Term Storage

Climate-controlled vaults from $59/month in our Chicago warehouse, for the gap between homes.

Closings slip. New leases start a week after the old one ends. A house gets staged and the furniture needs somewhere to live for a month. When the calendar doesn’t line up, our short-term storage bridges the gap with climate-controlled vaults in our own Chicago warehouse, from $59 a month each.

Because we run the storage and the trucks, the same crew can load your things, hold them, and redeliver when your place is ready — no double handling, no second company.

Chicago weather is exactly why climate control matters here. A non-conditioned unit swings from sub-zero in January to humid and ninety in July, and that’s hard on wood furniture, electronics, and anything upholstered. Our vaults stay temperature-controlled year-round, so a month-long hold doesn’t cost you a warped tabletop.

Your things are inventoried as they go in and stay in our facility, not scattered across a self-storage lot you have to drive to. When you’re ready, our crew pulls the vaults and delivers, fast.

When short-term storage makes sense

It’s the fix for the in-between weeks. The usual reasons:

  • Closing-gap moves: you’re out of the old place before the keys to the new one clear.
  • Between homes: a lease ends mid-month and the next one starts later, common around the May 1 churn.
  • Staging: your realtor wants the house cleared to show, so the furniture waits a few weeks.
  • Renovation holds: clear a room or a floor while the work happens, then bring it back.

How storage is priced

Simple monthly rate per vault, no long commitment. Pay for the weeks you actually need.

Item Detail
Vault rate From $59/month, climate-controlled
Term Short-term, month to month
Load & redeliver Our crew and trucks, both directions
Inventory Itemized in and out

One company end to end: we load it, store it, and bring it back. No re-quoting a second mover when your closing finally lands.

One crew, no double handling

The hidden cost of self-storage is that you move everything twice, once into a rented unit and again out of it, usually doing the heavy lifting yourself in the meantime. We close that gap. Our crew pad-wraps your furniture in your Lincoln Park or Wicker Park place, loads it into vaults, and the same vaults come off our truck and into your new home when you’re ready. Your things are handled by movers on both ends, and you’re never the one carrying a couch down stairs in February.

What’s not included

We’re built for short-term, between-homes holds, not long-term archive storage stretching past several months; if you need a long hold we’ll point you the right direction honestly. We also don’t store hazardous materials, perishables, or live plants. Redelivery is scheduled like any move, so give us a heads-up and we’ll move quickly.

What’s included

Everything our crew brings on move day — no add-ons, no surprises.

  • Climate-controlled vaults from $59/month in our own Chicago warehouse
  • The same crew and trucks loading in and redelivering out
  • Itemized inventory both directions so nothing goes missing
  • Month-to-month terms — no long commitment for a short gap
  • Furniture pad-wrapped and stored, not stacked loose
  • Fast redelivery scheduling when your new place is finally ready

Common questions

How much is short-term storage?
Vaults start at $59 a month each, climate-controlled, and we keep it month to month so you only pay for the weeks you need. We’ll size the number of vaults to your home and quote it before anything goes into the warehouse.
Is the storage climate-controlled?
Yes, and in Chicago that matters. The vaults stay temperature-controlled through both the January deep-freeze and the humid summer, which protects wood, electronics, and upholstery during a hold of a few weeks or a couple of months.
Can you store my things and then deliver them later?
That’s the whole service. The same crew loads your things, holds them in our warehouse, and redelivers when your new place is ready. One company, one inventory, no second mover to hire when your closing date finally lands.
What if my closing date keeps moving?
No problem, that’s exactly what month-to-month is for. Keep us posted on the date, and when it firms up we’ll schedule redelivery fast. You’re not locked into a long term just because a closing slipped a few weeks.
