“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 Cambridge customers use our storage for:
• Lease overlap or gap — your old place ends before your new one starts; storage bridges the gap cleanly
• Selling your home — decluttering before listing makes rooms look larger and more appealing to buyers
• Downsizing — not everything fits in the new space right away; storage holds what you’re not ready to part with
• Renovation delays — new place isn’t move-in ready; your belongings wait safely until it is
• Business overflow — extra stock, older furniture, archived files, or seasonal display items that need a reliable off-site home
• Between-semester storage — Harvard, MIT, and Lesley students who need a place for belongings over summer or winter break
When you pick your belongings up from our facility, they should be exactly as you left them. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to — and why climate control, 24-hour surveillance, and proper protection from the elements aren’t optional extras here. They’re built into every unit.
Standard storage units aren’t sealed or regulated — temperature swings, humidity, and pests can do real damage to furniture, electronics, documents, and anything made of wood, fabric, or metal. Here’s what climate control actually protects against:
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.
tools, appliances, filing cabinets, and metal furniture are vulnerable to rust and corrosion in humid, unregulated environments.
computers, TVs, audio equipment, and cameras can suffer internal damage from heat buildup or condensation in non-climate-controlled units.
humidity causes mold, mildew, and musty odors in stored clothing, bedding, upholstered furniture, and rugs.
canvas, paper, and photographic prints are especially sensitive to temperature swings and moisture.
anything that can’t be replaced if damaged deserves the protection of 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 Massachusetts winter or summer?
If you’re not sure, call us at 800-611-2201 — we’ll help you figure out the right option before you commit to anything.

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.
