I’m Owen Brennan. Between a September 1st lease that ends and one that starts, or a closing date that slips, a lot of Middlesex and Boston moves need somewhere to hold belongings for a few weeks. That’s what our short-term storage service is for.

We load your items on our own truck, hold them in a secured space, and deliver on your schedule — no separate storage-company handoff, no second inventory to track. It’s the same W-2 crew and the same flat rate locked in writing as every other job we run.

Crew size Rate Best for
2 movers + truck $175/hr Load-in/load-out, studio-1BR
3 movers + truck $225/hr Load-in/load-out, 2BR+

Sample flat-rate storage jobs:

Job Flat rate
2-week hold, 1-bedroom, Somerville turnover gap $540
30-day hold, 2-bedroom condo, Cambridge $890
3-week hold, studio, South Boston to Seaport closing delay $460
45-day hold, 3-bedroom, Newton home-sale gap $1,320
2-week hold, 2-bedroom, Waltham to Framingham $610

Stored items carry $0.60/lb released-value coverage standard, with full-value protection up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage available, under our Massachusetts DPU household-goods permit. Need the items packed before storage? See full-service packing. Ready to schedule delivery to a new address? See local moving or browse where we serve.
