Moving and Storage Services
Most moves do not go perfectly from point A to point B in a single day. There is a gap between leases. A new home that is not quite ready. A staging situation where the house needs to look empty before it can sell. Or simply more belongings than fit in the new space right away.
Little Guys Movers coordinates storage as part of the moving process, so you are not managing two separate logistics projects at once. We load your belongings into storage, keep them there for as long as you need, and get them out when you are ready. One company handles it all.
Moving Into Storage Between Homes: How It Works
The between-home storage scenario is one of the most common situations we help with. Your old lease ends before your new one starts. Your new home is not ready for move-in. You are selling and buying simultaneously, and the timing does not line up perfectly.
We coordinate storage so that the gap does not become a crisis. On move-out day, everything goes onto the truck. Some of it goes directly to the new home, some of it goes into storage. When the new home is ready, we retrieve everything from storage and complete the delivery. You manage one timeline and one phone number. We manage everything else.
PODS and Portable Storage Container Coordination
PODS units and other portable storage containers are a popular option for moves that require flexibility. You can load at your own pace, keep the container on-site for staging, and have it delivered to the new location when you are ready.
We load and unload PODS units as part of our service. If you have a PODS container arriving at your home and need help loading it, we handle that. If a container is being delivered to your new home and you need help unloading it, we handle that too.
We understand that sometimes residential moves require unique storage solutions before, during, or after the relocation. If you need help storing your furniture or other belongings, we have strong relationships with local storage businesses and would be happy to help you find the right unit for your needs.
Long-Term Storage for Home Staging and Downsizing
Sometimes storage is not about a timing gap. It is about making your home show well for sale by removing excess furniture, or it is about downsizing and not being ready to make permanent decisions about everything yet.
We handle moves into long-term storage the same way we handle any other move: carefully packed, properly protected, and loaded to allow for organized retrieval later. Items in storage are not just piled in. They are organized so that when you are ready to retrieve specific pieces, you can find them without unpacking everything.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can movers put things in storage?
Yes. We coordinate storage as part of the moving process. On move-out day, items going into storage are loaded onto the truck and delivered to the storage facility. When you are ready for delivery to the new home, we retrieve everything from storage and complete the move. You manage one timeline and we handle the logistics.
What is the difference between a PODS unit and a storage unit?
A PODS unit is a portable storage container that gets delivered to your home, loaded on-site, and either kept on your property or transported to a PODS facility. A traditional storage unit is a fixed location you drive to and access yourself. PODS units are convenient for staged moves or situations where you want to load at your own pace. We coordinate and load both.
Can you load a PODS unit for me if I am not using Little Guys for the full move?
Yes. We offer standalone PODS loading and unloading as a separate service. You do not need to use us for the full move to use us for storage loading. Contact your nearest Little Guys location to confirm availability and get a quote for the loading service.
How long can my belongings stay in storage?
Storage duration depends on the facility we coordinate with for your move. Most storage solutions we work with accommodate both short-term gaps of a few days and longer-term storage of several months. When you book with us, we confirm the storage timeline and the arrangement before anything is loaded.
