Move and Store: How CT Moving & Storage's Combined Service Works

Sometimes a move and a storage need happen at the same time. Your new home isn't ready yet, the closing date got pushed back, you're downsizing and need somewhere to put the overflow, or you're moving into temporary housing while you look for a permanent place. Whatever the situation, CT Moving and Storage offers a combined move-and-store service that keeps everything under one roof — from the truck that picks up your belongings to the climate-controlled facility where they stay until you're ready.

How the Combined Service Works

The move-to-storage process is simpler than most people expect. When you book with CT Moving and Storage, you tell us upfront that you need storage — either for part of your belongings or everything. On move day, our crew arrives at your home or office, loads everything onto the truck just as they would for a regular move, and transports it to our Southington storage facility instead of (or in addition to) your new address.

At the facility, your items are organized and stored securely in our climate-controlled space. We keep records of what's been stored so that when you're ready for delivery, we know exactly what needs to come out and where it's going. You don't have to rent a separate storage unit, coordinate with a different company, or make a second trip.

When you're ready, we schedule a delivery. Our crew loads your stored items back onto the truck and brings them to your new home or office, placing them in the rooms you specify. The entire process — from pickup to storage to final delivery — is handled by the same team.

Why Climate-Controlled Storage Matters

Connecticut's climate isn't kind to stored belongings. Summers are hot and humid; winters are cold and dry. Fluctuating temperature and humidity can warp wood furniture, crack leather, damage electronics, and cause mold on fabric and paper items. Climate-controlled storage keeps temperature and humidity at consistent levels year-round, protecting your belongings regardless of what's happening outside.

This matters especially for certain categories of items: antique or hardwood furniture, musical instruments (especially pianos), electronics, artwork, wine, and important documents or photographs. If you're storing anything with sentimental or monetary value, climate-controlled is the right choice.

CT Moving and Storage's storage facility is located in Southington — centrally positioned in the state, which makes it convenient for customers across Hartford, New Haven, and Fairfield counties.

Common Situations Where Move-and-Store Makes Sense

Closing date gap: Your lease ends before your new home's closing date. Rather than scrambling to find interim housing that fits all your furniture, move everything into storage and stay temporarily with flexibility.

Downsizing: You're moving from a larger home to a smaller one and need time to decide what to keep, donate, or sell. Store the overflow and sort through it without the pressure of move day.

Renovation move-in: Your new home needs work before it's livable. Move out of your current place on schedule, store everything securely, and move in when the renovations are done.

Staging a home for sale: Your realtor wants to declutter before listing. Move select furniture and boxes into storage to make the home show better, then retrieve everything after closing.

Commercial office transitions: Your new office space isn't ready when your old lease ends. Store office furniture and equipment between locations with no interruption to operations.

How Long Can You Store?

There's no minimum or maximum term that works for everyone — some customers store for a few weeks during a move transition, others for several months while a renovation drags on. Call us to discuss your situation and we'll give you honest guidance on what makes sense for your timeline.

If your storage needs change — you want to retrieve some items earlier, or you need to extend the timeline — just let us know. We work with customers to accommodate changes as they happen.
