Short-Term Storage Between Moves
Sometimes the calendar doesn’t cooperate. Your Dayton-area home sells faster than the new place is ready, a new-build slips its closing, or a storm in the Gulf forces a change of plans. Space City Movers bridges that gap with short-term storage handled entirely by us — your belongings come off our truck, onto our inventory, and back out again with the same crew when you’re set. No self-storage unit you have to load yourself, no second company in the chain.
From Baytown to Kingwood, Houston movers turns the whole job into one flat figure before move day and stands behind it, with nothing extra waiting at the end.
Built for the Way Closings Really Go
Around Greater Houston, timing gaps are everywhere. Master-planned and Mont Belvieu new builds run on their own schedule, and closings shift a week here and there all the time. Rather than make you sign a self-storage lease and rent a truck twice, we keep your goods staged and ready, then re-deliver when your home is genuinely move-in ready. If the date moves again, we flex — just call the office and Brooke adjusts the hold.
Stored With the Gulf Climate in Mind
Storage on the Texas coast isn’t just four walls. Heat and humidity will warp wood, rust metal and breed mildew if furniture sits on bare concrete in a hot box all summer. We keep your belongings wrapped, up off the floor, and handled with the climate in mind, so a two-month hold during hurricane season doesn’t ruin your dining set. Because it stays on our inventory, it’s tracked and accounted for the entire time — not forgotten behind a roll-up door.
How Storage Pricing Works
Short-term storage is quoted alongside your move so you see the whole picture, and because warehousing and the extra in-and-out handling are real work, we note that add-on handling up front instead of springing it on you. Your $105 deposit still credits to the move. If you’re going hourly on the move itself, two movers and a truck are $185 an hour and three are $255. Stored goods stay covered at the 60-cents-per-pound released-value standard, with full-value protection available and up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage per shipment.

How we land on the price
It begins with a short walkthrough or video survey, and off your actual inventory we set one flat Greater Houston rate — no hourly meter hiding anywhere inside it. Whatever that quote reads is the whole price, with nothing tacked on once the truck is loaded or a storm slides in off the Gulf and shifts the date.
