“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.”
Cambridge apartments are compact — triple-deckers in North Cambridge, studios near Kendall Square, and older buildings throughout Cambridgeport rarely come with extra storage space. And when a move doesn’t land cleanly — lease overlap, delayed closing, a renovation that’s running behind — you need a safe place to put your belongings without scrambling for options.
Our Woburn storage facility is available to Cambridge 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 a piece of artwork, a musical instrument, wine, or other temperature-sensitive items? Let us know ahead of time — we’ll make sure it’s handled and stored with the extra care it needs.
More often than people expect. Here are the most common situations Belmont customers use our storage for:
• Sale before purchase — your Belmont home sold before your new one is ready; storage bridges the gap cleanly
• Staging for sale — decluttering before listing makes Belmont homes look more spacious and appealing to buyers
• Downsizing — moving from a larger Belmont 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 Belmont homes where decisions about belongings take time
• High-value item storage — antiques, artwork, and specialty items from Belmont Hill estates that need climate-controlled protection between moves
When you pick your belongings up from our Woburn facility, they should look exactly as they did when you left them — especially important for Belmont’s high-value antiques, artwork, and specialty items. Climate control, 24-hour surveillance, and proper protection from the elements aren’t optional extras here. They’re built into every unit.
Belmont’s older homes contain a high concentration of wood furniture, antiques, instruments, and artwork that are especially vulnerable to unregulated storage conditions. New England’s cold winters and humid summers make climate control essential — not optional.
If you’re unsure whether climate control matters for your specific items, here’s a straightforward breakdown:
Belmont’s pre-WWII homes contain a high concentration of antique wood furniture, hardwood pieces, 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, metal furniture, and filing cabinets vulnerable to rust and corrosion through New England’s humid summers — especially 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 Belmont homes given the high concentration of artwork and photography in 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 a Belmont 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?

Posted on Xiaohui Yi Alberto alex and perrez moving very fast than I expected.Posted on Shannon Casey Estuaedo was fabulous with Omar and Guirmo were above and beyond fabulous… highly recommend!!!!!Posted on Bert Belliveau From Michael who answered the phone to Albert and Alex who were the movers, it was a level 10+. The men arrived and worked quickly while taking good care of my furniture. Never any attitude and great focus on the project. Then they had to go 45 minutes to drop off this furniture with the same care and efficiency as before. The total price was more than I expected but not due to inefficiency.
