Why DMV Residents Need Residential Storage

You Just Sold Your House

Sold your house, but your new one isn’t ready? Closing dates don’t line up? We’ll store your entire household until your new place is ready.

You’re Renovating or Remodeling

Where does everything go during a kitchen gut or bathroom renovation? Into our storage facility, where it stays clean, safe, and ready to be returned on the day your beautifully renovated home or room is ready.

You Inherited Furniture You Can’t Use (Yet)

Your parents downsized and gave you their dining room set. It’s beautiful, but you have nowhere to put it. Store it with us until you move to a bigger place, or until your kids need furniture of their own.

You’re Downsizing Without Sacrificing

Moving from a 4-bedroom house to a 2-bedroom condo? You don’t have to throw away decades of belongings. Keep what matters. Store what doesn’t fit. Access it whenever you want.

You Need Seasonal Storage

You can store your patio furniture in winter, holiday decorations 11 months a year, and winter sports equipment in summer. Why let seasonal items take up valuable space in your garage, basement, or spare bedroom?

You’re Staging Your Home for Sale

Real estate agents will tell you: decluttered homes sell faster and for more money. But where do you put all your stuff during showings? We’ll store it while your house is on the market, then deliver it to your new address when you close.

You’re a College Student

Going home for the summer? Studying abroad? Living off-campus, but need somewhere for your furniture during break? Our student storage gives you a place for dorm furniture, textbooks, and belongings without hauling everything home and back.

Call us at (703) 889-8899 to find out more about our residential storage in Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland.

 

Why Choose Georgetown Moving and Storage Company for Residential Storage in the DMV

What Happens at Our Storage Facilities in Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland

You’re trusting us with items that matter. You deserve to know exactly where your belongings go and how they’re protected. Here’s what happens once your belongings arrive at our GSA-approved warehouse:

3 Storage Mistakes That Cost You Money

Mistake #1: Renting a storage unit that’s too large

Most people overestimate space needs by 30-40%. Our vault system eliminates this waste, since you only pay for the vaults you actually fill.

Mistake #2: Storing items in non-climate-controlled units

“It’s only for a few months” turns into warped furniture, faded photos, and moldy fabrics. Climate control is essential in DC’s humid summers and freezing winters.

Mistake #3: Waiting until the last minute

Scrambling to find storage the week before your closing or renovation creates stress and limits your options. Call 2-3 weeks ahead for the best scheduling flexibility.

What We Cannot Store

For safety and legal reasons, we cannot store:

  • Hazardous materials (paint, gasoline, propane, chemicals)
  • Perishable food items
  • Plants or live animals
  • Illegal items or firearms

Everything else? Furniture, boxes, appliances, electronics, seasonal items, business inventory, estate belongings; we’ve got you covered. Not sure if something is acceptable? Just ask when you call for your estimate.

 

Tips for Choosing the Right Storage Vault Size in DC, Northern VA & MD

How Much Space Do You Need?

Most people overestimate how much storage they need, or underestimate and end up needing more vaults later. Here’s how to get it right the first time.

Our Vault System

Our storage vaults measure 7’H × 5’W × 7’D (about 150-180 cubic feet). To give you a visual:

  • 1 vault = A walk-in closet OR one bedroom’s furniture
  • 2 vaults = A one-bedroom apartment’s belongings
  • 3-4 vaults = A two-bedroom apartment or small house
  • 5+ vaults = Entire household from a larger home

Quick Estimation Guide by Situation

Staging Your Home for Sale?

Plan to store 30-40% of your furniture and all personal items (photos, collectibles, kids’ artwork). Most clients need 2-3 vaults. Start storing 2-3 weeks before listing for best results.

Renovating One Room?

Kitchen or bathroom renovation: 1 vault for furniture and boxed items. Whole-house renovation: 3-5 vaults, depending on the size of your home.

Between Homes?

  • Studio/1-bedroom: 2-3 vaults
  • 2-bedroom: 4-5 vaults
  • 3+ bedroom house: 6-10 vaults

Downsizing?

Store items you’re not sure about keeping. Most downsizers need 2-4 vaults for furniture they’ll decide on later. Live in your new space for 2-3 months, then make permanent decisions.

College Student?

Dorm room contents typically fit in 1 vault. Off-campus apartment: 2 vaults.

What to Tell Us When You Call:

Skip the guesswork. When you call for a free estimate, just tell us:

  1. What you’re storing (furniture, boxes, or both)
  2. How many rooms of furniture
  3. Why you’re storing it (we’ll ask questions to help)

We’ve been doing this for over 20 years. We know how much space a bedroom set needs, how many boxes fit in a vault, and how to maximize your space efficiently.

Pro Tips from Our Warehouse Manager

Separate items you’ll need accessible: Tell us if you’ll want certain items back before everything else
Don’t over-pack boxes: Heavy boxes are harder to stack and access later
Store seasonal items by season: Makes retrieval easier when you only want winter clothes
Start with less, add more if needed: Month-to-month flexibility means you’re not locked in

We’ll Never Upsell You

Our goal is to find the right solution for your budget and situation. If you only need two vaults, we’ll tell you two vaults. If we can pack tighter and save you money, we’ll do that.

Call (703) 889-8899 for a free consultation. We’ll help you estimate precisely what you need.
