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 can 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 delivery, your belongings are wrapped, loaded, and tracked by background-checked professionals from start to finish. Family-owned and operated right here in Roanoke, Virginia.

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 we know timelines can 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 delivery, 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, your Moving Consultant can answer any questions.
Do you pick up and deliver my items?
Yes, 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 describe the process and give you an estimate to match your budget.
Do I need to pack everything before storage?
Not necessarily. We offer full and partial packing. If you’d like that service, our crew will arrive with pads, shrink wrap, boxes, and materials to pack as much or as little as you’d like before your items are stored.
