Short-Term Storage in Roanoke
Roanoke's Trusted Short-Term Storage Solution
Life doesn’t always line up move-out and move-in dates perfectly, and that’s exactly where short-term storage helps. At Big Lick Moving, we keep your furniture and boxes safe in our secure, monitored facility for a few days, a few weeks, or a few months, then deliver them to your new place whenever you’re ready.
Because we handle the pickup, storage, and redelivery, your belongings are wrapped, loaded, and tracked by the same background-checked crew from start to finish, no third-party handoffs, no strangers touching your things. Family owned and operated right here in the Roanoke Valley.
Temporary Storage, Handled the Right Way
Short-term storage is ideal any time there’s a gap in your move. Here’s how it works with us, and what you can hand over for safekeeping.
How our temporary storage works
Our crew packs, pads, and wraps your items, then transports everything to our secure facility. Each piece is inventoried and stored safely until you’re ready to receive it.
Need more time? Extending is simple. Your items stay put, and we schedule a redelivery date that works for you. Because one team manages pickup, storage, and drop-off, you get a single point of contact through the whole process.

Short-Term Storage FAQ
How long can I keep my items in short-term storage?
Most short-term storage runs anywhere from a few days to a few months. There’s no hard limit. If you need more time, just let us know and we’ll extend it. We keep things flexible because move timelines change.
How are my belongings protected in storage?
Every item is padded, wrapped, and inventoried before it goes into our secure, monitored facility. Because our own background-checked, drug-tested crew handles pickup, storage, and redelivery, your belongings stay with a team you trust the entire time.
What can't be placed in storage?
For safety and regulatory reasons, we can’t store hazardous items such as gasoline, propane, explosives, flammable materials, or certain chemicals. Perishables and live plants aren’t a good fit either. If you’re unsure about an item, ask your Moving Consultant.
Do you pick up and redeliver my items?
Yes, that’s the whole point. We collect your belongings, store them, and bring them to your new home or office when you’re ready. No renting a truck or moving everything twice yourself.
How much does short-term storage cost?
Pricing depends on how much you’re storing and how long you need it. Reach out for a free, no-obligation quote and we’ll walk you through the costs up front so there are no surprises.
Do I need to pack everything before storage?
Not necessarily. We offer full and partial packing, and our crew arrives with pads, shrink wrap, boxes, and equipment. We can pack as much or as little as you’d like before your items head to storage.
