Long-Term & Short-Term Storage Arlington, VA – Flexible & Affordable Options

Whether you need storage for three months or three years, we offer month-to-month flexibility without rigid lease commitments.

Short-term storage works for:

• Gap moves: Your new home isn’t ready, but your lease expires
• Home staging: Decluttering can increase sale prices 5-10%
• Renovations: Protecting furniture from construction dust and damage
• Student breaks: Summer and semester storage for local universities
• Seasonal items: Holiday decorations and sports equipment

Why our short-term storage costs less: We’re already moving your items. Bundling storage with your move beats renting a truck, buying supplies, and spending your weekend hauling boxes.

Long-term storage (6+ months) includes:

• Actual cubic footage used (no paying for empty space)
• Storage duration (long-term rates available)
• Service level (full packing, delivery-only, or partial assistance)

Climate-Controlled Storage in Arlington – Ideal for Temperature-Sensitive Items

Arlington’s climate challenges storage. Summer temperatures exceed 90°F, accompanied by humidity levels of 70% or higher. Winter nights drop below freezing. These fluctuations destroy unprotected items within months.

Benefits of climate-controlled storage units in Arlington, VA:

Standard “garage-style” storage units function like ovens in summer and freezers in winter. Climate-controlled storage maintains consistent 55-80°F temperatures and 30-50% humidity year-round, preventing:

• Wood furniture from cracking, warping, and joint separation from temperature swings
• Leather from mold growth, cracking, and permanent staining from humidity
• Electronics from condensation damage to circuit boards and hard drives
• Musical instruments from warped guitar necks, cracked violin bodies, and detuned pianos
• Photographs and documents from fading, yellowing, and deteriorating
• Wine collections from spoilage by heat exposure
• Artwork from canvas stretching, paint cracking, and frame warping
• Antiques from irreversible damage to irreplaceable family heirlooms

Our warehouses are equipped with professional-grade climate systems, meeting the same standards required for our government and military storage contracts. These aren’t residential HVAC units struggling to cool large spaces; they’re commercial systems designed for maintaining a consistent climate, regardless of outdoor conditions.

Additional protective measures in our climate-controlled storage include:

• Professional-grade HVAC systems that maintain consistent temperature and humidity
• Sealed, clean warehouse environment protecting against moisture and pests
• Regular monitoring to ensure stable conditions year-round

Residential Storage Units Arlington – Solutions for Houses, Condos & Apartments

Selling your Arlington home means competing in one of the region’s most competitive markets. Buyers touring properties in Lyon Park or Bluemont expect move-in-ready homes, not crowded rooms filled with your furniture.

Selling Your Home?

Real estate agents recommend removing 30-50% of furniture and nearly all personal items. But where does it go when you haven’t closed on your new home yet?

We solve this: We can pack and store your excess furniture, family photos, and garage overflow. Your home shows beautifully while your belongings stay secure. When you close, we deliver everything to your new address—whether that’s a Clarendon condo or a house in Charlotte.

Renovating Your Arlington Home?

Planning a kitchen remodel in your Ashton Heights bungalow? Bathroom updates in your Dominion Hills colonial? These projects can take 6-12 weeks or longer, and living amid construction dust destroys furniture.

Our furniture storage gives contractors access, while protecting everything in climate-controlled Arlington storage units.

Common reasons Arlington residents need residential storage:

Downsizing without rushing. You can store items while you settle in. After a few months in your new space, you’ll know what you miss versus what you can pass to family or donate.

Reclaim your space. Living in Rosslyn or Court House means paying premium rent for location, views, and walkability, not storage space. Your 750 sq ft apartment includes exactly one coat closet. Where do winter parkas go in July? Where do you store that kayak you use on the Potomac every weekend?

Active lifestyle storage: Arlington residents enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking, and camping. Keep equipment accessible in our facility and retrieve what you need for weekend adventures without your apartment looking like REI.

Rental property owners: Managing Arlington investment properties means furniture turnover between tenants. Store staged furniture when units sit vacant, or hold tenant belongings during lease transitions.

Student Storage Arlington – Convenient Dorm & Summer Break Options

College students at Marymount University and nearby institutions face a recurring problem: dorms close for summer, but flying home with an entire room’s worth of belongings costs more than the items are worth.

Georgetown Moving and Storage offers student storage solutions in Arlington, designed explicitly for academic calendars and student budgets.

How Student Storage in Arlington, VA Works:

Move-out: We pick up during your dorm’s move-out window, either packed by you or we’ll pack everything (supplies included). We store it in our climate-controlled facility. Skip the truck rental and hauling.

Move-in: We deliver directly to your fall dorm room. No elevator lines or parking lot chaos while you’re still unpacking.

What students store: Bedding, clothing, mini-fridges, microwaves, electronics, textbooks, sports equipment, and room décor.

Our rates are based on volume (small, medium, or large), including pickup, storage, and delivery.

Beyond Summer Break

• International students: Store year-round instead of shipping belongings overseas every summer
• Study abroad: Keep your apartment or dorm contents secure during semester exchanges
• Graduation: Bridge storage while job searching or preparing for grad school

Staging & Renovation Storage Arlington – Declutter During Projects with Ease

Professional staging can help your Arlington, VA home sell for more and spend less time on the market. The challenge is removing enough furniture and personal items so buyers can envision their lives in your space.

We store excess furniture, family photos, collections, and personal items while your home is on the market. Once you close, we deliver everything to your new address, whether that’s across Arlington or across the country. Your house shows beautifully without you cramming belongings into closets or renting a storage unit you have to pack yourself.

Living through renovations? Home renovations can stretch for weeks or months. Construction dust infiltrates everything, paint fumes linger for days, and contractors need clear work zones.

Our renovation storage protects your furniture in climate-controlled facilities, rather than in your garage, where it collects drywall dust. We can remove items from specific rooms as contractors need access, store everything during major projects, and return furniture clean when work is completed. Some customers use portable containers when they want ongoing access to stored items during longer projects.

Renovations almost always run longer than planned. Our month-to-month storage adjusts to your timeline without penalties or lease extensions.

Commercial Storage Unit Arlington, VA – Smart Solutions for Offices & Businesses

Moving your Arlington office shouldn’t mean shutting down for a week. Your new Rosslyn space isn’t ready, but your Ballston lease expires Friday. Or worse, you’re merging two offices and have duplicates of everything.

Traditional self-storage means you’re hauling filing cabinets down stairs, renting trucks, and hoping you labeled boxes correctly when you need that client file in three months. We handle the logistics so you stay operational.

Our teams can pack and move your office during off-hours if needed, store everything in climate-controlled facilities (critical for servers, computers, and paper archives), and retrieve items when you need them. Medical practices get patient records back within hours for audits. Law firms access closed case files without disrupting current operations.

Month-to-month storage scales with your business. Retailers store seasonal inventory without warehouse leases. Tech companies bridge office transitions without expensive downtime. Professional services maintain compliance with document retention requirements while freeing up expensive office space.

Military & Government Arlington Storage – Secure Service for PCS & Transfers

PCS orders arrive with impossible timing. You report to your next duty station in three weeks, but base housing won’t be ready for two months. Your unaccompanied tour overseas lasts 15 months. Do you ship everything home or pay rent on an empty apartment in Arlington?

As a GSA-approved government contractor, we solve the logistics that military families face constantly. Store your household goods during deployments, unaccompanied tours, or housing gaps. We provide certified weight tickets for your reimbursement and handle the paperwork, allowing you to focus on the transition.

Every team member passes comprehensive background checks. For long-distance moves, we guarantee delivery within 1-3 days from pickup.

Month-to-month storage means no penalties when orders change, because they always do.

Specialty Item Storage Units in Arlington, VA – Careful Handling for Antiques & Pianos

Your grandmother’s mahogany table survived 80 years. One humid Arlington summer in a standard storage unit will crack the wood and separate the joints. Pianos, antiques, and fine art need stable conditions that basic storage doesn’t provide.

Our climate-controlled facilities maintain consistent temperature and humidity year-round, preventing the damage that destroys antique joinery, musical instruments, and artwork. Our pre-screened teams handle specialty items with the appropriate equipment and materials. Pianos receive professional moving equipment, antiques are protected with breathable pads instead of moisture-trapping plastic, and extremely valuable or fragile items are custom crated.

We store pianos, antique furniture, fine art, wine collections, military memorabilia, and family heirlooms with the care these irreplaceable items deserve.

PODS-Like Storage Unit Arlington – Portable & Flexible Storage Options

We deliver weatherproof PODS-like storage containers to your Arlington, VA, property. Load it yourself over days or weeks, or hire us to pack it. When ready, we store it at our secure facility, leave it on-site for continued access, or deliver it to your new address.

Portable containers are ideal when you need daily access during renovations, have uncertain move dates while selling your home, or require time to sort through estate items with family. They offer flexibility that warehouse storage doesn’t, but warehouse storage offers climate control and maximum security.

Many Arlington customers use containers during active projects, then store them in our warehouse for long-term protection.

Tips for Preparing Items for Storage Arlington, VA – Best Practices & Advice

The best strategy for storing your items in Arlington is to clean everything before storage. Vacuum upholstery, polish wood, wipe down metal, and completely dry appliances. Disassemble bed frames, remove table legs, and break down shelving when possible. Keep hardware in labeled bags and tape the bags to the corresponding piece.

Protect surfaces with furniture blankets and mattress bags. Never wrap wood furniture in plastic, as it can trap moisture and cause damage. Use breathable materials instead.

Pack heavy items like books and tools in small boxes to prevent bottom failure and injury. Use medium boxes for kitchen items and large boxes for lightweight, bulky items, such as linens and lamp shades.

Wrap fragile items individually, fill empty space to prevent shifting, and mark “FRAGILE” on multiple sides. Label each box with its contents, destination room, and any special handling instructions. If you hire us to pack for you, we’ll label everything carefully.

Electronics need climate-controlled storage. It’s always a good idea to photograph cable connections before disconnecting them. You also want to remove batteries to avoid corrosion when storing. Store important documents in waterproof containers and create digital backups.

Don’t store flammable materials, hazardous chemicals, perishable food, plants, or irreplaceable documents like passports.

Wood furniture, upholstery, electronics, musical instruments, photos, documents, artwork, leather, and antiques require climate control. Metal tools, plastic bins, metal furniture, and outdoor equipment (after draining the fuel) work fine in standard storage.
