Storage

We deal with all different kinds of storage in the moving industry. There is definitely a plus and minus to each kind of storage. Whatever kind of storage you choose to go with, we can help you with your needs. We suggest that if you need to get into and out of your storage it would be better to go with mini storage. One advantage of our warehouse storage is that it is prorated per day. We also supply all pads to protect your furniture at no extra cost. Call the sales people at A-1 moving and we can help you decide what will work for you.

What are the different kinds of storage to choose from?

Warehouse Storage

• all storage goes into 5'x7'x7' vaults
• the warehouse is climate controlled
• our monthly charges are prorated to the day
• all your furniture will be padded inside the vaults
• our warehouse is very secure, so you need to schedule at least 1 to 2 days in advance to go through your storage and there is an hourly charge to do so
• all furniture gets inventoried when it comes in and the customer will receive a copy of the inventory

Self Storage / Mini Storage

• there are many different sizes of storages that you can get depending on the amount of furniture you have
• most times it is not climate controlled storage
• you need to supply your own pads or protection for furniture
• you have pretty flexible times to go through your storage
