“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.”
Somerville’s rental market is one of the most active in Greater Boston — 67% of residents are renters, leases turn over constantly, and the gap between one address and the next is a common reality. When a move doesn’t land cleanly — lease overlap, a gap between apartments, or a between-semester situation — you need a safe place for your belongings without scrambling for options.
Our Woburn storage facility is a short drive from Somerville — available to Somerville 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 artwork, musical instruments, or other temperature-sensitive items? 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 Somerville customers use our storage for:
• Lease overlap or gap — your old Somerville place ends before your new one starts; storage bridges the gap cleanly
• Between apartments — temporary storage while you search for your next Somerville address
• Downsizing — moving from a larger place 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
• Between-semester storage — Tufts University students and other Greater Boston college students who need storage over summer or winter break
• Business overflow — extra stock, older furniture, archived files from a Somerville business that needs reliable off-site storage
When you pick your belongings up from our Woburn facility, they should look exactly as they did when you left them. Climate control, 24-hour surveillance, and proper protection from the elements are built into every unit — not optional extras.
Somerville’s older housing stock — triple-deckers and multi-family homes throughout East Somerville, Winter Hill, and Powder House — means many residents are storing belongings from pre-war buildings that have accumulated over years. 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:
Wood expands in heat and contracts in cold — leading to warping, cracking, and joint damage over time. Guitars, violins, pianos, and hardwood furniture all need stable temperatures regardless of how long they’re stored.
Tools, appliances, and metal furniture vulnerable to rust and corrosion through Somerville’s humid New England 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 — a common issue in unregulated units through Somerville’s humid summers.
Canvas, paper, and photographic prints especially sensitive to temperature swings and moisture.
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, instruments, or antiques?
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?
