“If I could rate the movers with 10 stars, I would. Pedro and Alberto were fantastic! They were friendly, professional, and they did a great job. I highly recommend them.”
Arlington’s competitive housing market — large pre-WWII single-family homes and a strong ownership community — means timing gaps between buying and selling are common. When a move doesn’t land cleanly — delayed closing, a renovation running behind, or a downsizing situation where not everything fits right away — you need a safe place for your belongings without scrambling for options.
Our Woburn storage facility is a short drive from Arlington — available to Arlington customers starting at $89/month. Units are climate-controlled, protected from water damage, fire, theft, temperature extremes, and pests. Short-term or long-term, we give you an accurate estimate upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying before anything is stored.
Have antiques, artwork, musical instruments, or other temperature-sensitive items from your Arlington home? Let us know ahead of time — we’ll make sure everything is handled and stored with the extra care it needs.
More often than people expect. Here are the most common situations Arlington customers use our storage for:
• Sale before purchase — your Arlington home sold before your new one is ready; storage bridges the gap cleanly
• Staging for sale — decluttering before listing makes Arlington’s pre-WWII homes look more spacious and appealing to buyers
• Downsizing — moving from a larger Arlington home to something smaller; not everything fits right away
• Renovation delays — new place isn’t move-in ready; your belongings wait safely at our Woburn facility until it is
• Estate transitions — senior moves from long-held Arlington homes where decisions about belongings take time
• Between-semester storage — Arlington families sending students to Greater Boston universities who need storage over summer or winter break
When you pick your belongings up from our Woburn facility, they should look exactly as they did when you left them — especially important for Arlington’s pre-WWII homes which often contain antiques, heirlooms, and specialty items. Climate control, 24-hour surveillance, and proper protection from the elements are built into every unit.
Arlington’s pre-WWII housing stock contains a high concentration of wood furniture, antiques, and instruments that are especially vulnerable to unregulated storage conditions. New England’s cold winters and humid summers make climate control essential.
If you’re unsure whether climate control matters for your specific items, here’s a straightforward breakdown:
Arlington’s pre-WWII Colonials and Victorians contain a high concentration of antique wood furniture and instruments. Wood expands in heat and contracts in cold — leading to warping, cracking, and joint damage. Guitars, violins, pianos, and antique hardwood furniture all need stable temperatures.
Tools, appliances, and metal furniture vulnerable to rust and corrosion through New England’s humid summers in unregulated storage units.
Computers, TVs, audio equipment, and cameras can suffer internal damage from heat buildup or condensation in non-climate-controlled units.
Humidity causes mold and musty odors in stored clothing, bedding, upholstered furniture, and rugs.
Canvas, paper, and photographic prints especially sensitive to temperature swings and moisture — common in Arlington’s established households.
Anything that cannot be replaced if damaged belongs in a climate-controlled environment.
Answer yes to any of these and climate control is worth it:
Are you storing wood furniture, antiques, or instruments from an Arlington home?
Do you have electronics, cameras, or audio equipment going into storage?
Is any clothing, bedding, or upholstered furniture being stored longer than a month?
Will items be stored through a New England winter or humid summer?
