Retirement Storage in Washington, DC, Northern VA & MD

You worked your entire life for this moment. But there’s one problem: your house is full of stuff you’re not using.
Maybe it’s:
- Decades of belongings accumulated in a 4-bedroom house you no longer need
- Furniture and items from your kids who moved out years ago
- Seasonal decorations, sports equipment, and hobby gear taking up garage space
- Family heirlooms you’re keeping for your children, but don’t have room to display
- Everything you need to clear out to downsize or stage your home for sale
Storage with Georgetown is easy. Here’s how it works:
Georgetown Moving and Storage makes retirement storage effortless. We pick up what you’re not using, store it safely in our secure, climate-controlled facility, and deliver it back whenever you need it, or ship it to your kids when they’re ready.

Why Retirees in the DMV Choose Storage
You’re Downsizing to a Smaller Home
Moving from a 4-bedroom house to a 2-bedroom condo? You don’t have to throw away 40 years of belongings to make it fit.
Here’s the smarter approach: Store what doesn’t fit in your new place. Live there for a few months. Then decide what you need and what you can pass along to family or sell.
Making hasty decisions about what to keep or donate during a stressful move leads to regrets. Storage gives you time to make thoughtful choices without pressure.
You’re Staging Your Home for Sale
Decluttered, depersonalized homes sell faster and for more money because personal mementos, family photos, and full closets make it difficult for buyers to envision themselves living in your space.
The solution: Store 30-40% of your furniture and all personal items while your house is on the market. Your home looks spacious and move-in ready. When you close on your new home, we deliver everything to your new address.
You’re Traveling or Becoming a Snowbird
Spending winters in Florida? Summers traveling the country in an RV? Living abroad for extended periods?
You need a place for belongings you can’t take with you, but don’t want to leave sitting in an empty or leased out house for months. Our climate-controlled storage keeps everything safe while you’re away, from furniture, seasonal items, family heirlooms, and anything else you value.
When you return, we bring it back. When you’re ready to relocate permanently, we ship it to your new location.
You’re Staying Put But Need More Space
Even if you’re staying in your current home, retirement storage can improve your quality of life.
- Convert that spare bedroom into a home gym, art studio, or workshop
- Turn the cluttered office into a meditation room or reading nook
- Make the garage actually fit your car instead of storing 20 years of accumulation
Store what you’re not using. Reclaim space for hobbies, exercise, and activities that make retirement enjoyable.
How Retirement Storage Works
At Georgetown Moving and Storage Company, we’ve designed storage specifically for retirees who don’t want to handle heavy lifting, truck rentals, or multiple trips to a storage facility.
We Do the Heavy Lifting With Full-Service Storage
- We come to your home with professional, background-checked movers
- We wrap and protect your belongings with furniture pads and packing materials
- We load everything onto our truck
- We transport it to our climate-controlled, GSA-approved warehouse
- We place it in your private storage vault
- We deliver it back whenever and wherever you need it
You don’t rent a truck. You don’t lift heavy furniture. You don’t navigate stairs with boxes. We handle everything.
You Pack a Portable Storage Unit
We’ll deliver a portable storage container to your driveway. Take your time packing, whether it’s days or weeks, whatever works. When you’re ready, we pick it up and store it in our secure facility.
Need help with just the heavy items? We offer labor and even hoisting services. You pack what you can, and our team handles furniture and heavy boxes.
Both options include:
- Climate-controlled storage to protect your belongings year-round
- Complete inventory of everything stored
- Month-to-month flexibility (no long-term contracts)
- Professional moving insurance
- Delivery anywhere in the US when you’re ready
Climate Control Keeps Your Furniture and Valuables in Good Condition
Whether you are storing items for two months or ten years, you want your furniture, clothes, and valuables to stay in excellent condition. Without climate control, here’s what happens to stored items:
- Wood furniture warps and cracks from temperature and humidity changes.
- Photographs fade and stick together from heat exposure.
- Fabric and upholstery develop mold from humidity.
- Leather dries out and cracks from inconsistent conditions.
- Electronics fail from condensation and temperature fluctuations.
- Paper documents yellow and deteriorate from heat and moisture.
Climate control protects your belongings. Our facilities maintain consistent temperature (55-85°F) and humidity levels (30-50%) year-round.
