Short-Term Storage

Climate-controlled vaults from $45 a month for the gap between closing dates, a staging job, or a move that needs to pause.

Sometimes the dates just don’t line up — you close on the sale before you close on the buy, or the new place needs a coat of paint before you fill it. Earls Moving Company keeps your things in clean, climate-controlled vaults at our Avondale yard so you’re not racing the calendar. We load your goods into the vault, store them, and deliver them when you’re ready.

Storage runs from $45 a month per vault, and because our own crew handles both ends, your furniture is wrapped and inventoried by the same people the whole time.

  • Licensed & insured — US DOT/MC & Alabama PSC household-goods authority
  • Set prices in writing, with nothing tucked out of sight
  • Our own uniformed crew, on our own trucks

Ask Earl for your set price

Drop us the basics and someone in our Avondale office writes back with one firm price for the whole move — you owe nothing, and it’s usually in your inbox within the hour.

Climate control matters in Birmingham. Our summers are long, hot, and humid, and a regular metal storage unit can swell wood, warp veneer, and grow mildew on upholstery. Our vaults are temperature- and humidity-controlled, so the dining table and the leather sofa come out the way they went in. Each vault is sealed and tagged with your inventory.

The handoff is what makes our storage easy. We pad-wrap and load your goods into a vault during your move-out, store them as long as you need, and our crew redelivers and places them when your new place is ready — no second moving company, no second truck rental on your end.

When folks use our storage

A few of the most common reasons Birmingham movers store with us:

  • A closing-date gap, when you move out before you can move in.
  • Staging a home for sale and needing the clutter out for showings.
  • A downsizing or renovation that needs furniture out of the way for a while.
  • A long-distance move where you’re not ready to receive everything at once.

How storing with us works

It’s built into your move, not a separate errand you have to run yourself:

  1. On move-out day, our crew pad-wraps your furniture and loads it into sealed vaults, logging an inventory as we go.
  2. The vaults sit in our climate-controlled Avondale facility for as long as you need, whether that’s a few weeks or a few months.
  3. When your new place is ready, you give us a date and the same crew redelivers and sets everything where it goes.

Because we handle both ends, your things are touched by our movers only, and you’re never coordinating a storage unit and a moving company separately. Brenda keeps your inventory and dates on file so a redelivery is one phone call.

Storage pricing and what it doesn’t include

Vaults start at $45 per month each; the number of vaults depends on how much you’re storing.

Item Cost
Climate-controlled vault From $45 / month each
Load into / redeliver from storage Quoted with your move
Specialty item handling (piano, safe) From $319

Your stored goods stay covered — up to $1,000,000 cargo coverage per shipment, $0.60/lb released value standard, full-value protection optional. The in-and-out moving labor is quoted alongside your move, not buried in the monthly rate, so you always know what each piece costs.

What’s already in your price

Everything our Birmingham crew rolls up with on move day — nothing added later, nothing sprung on you.

  • Clean, climate- and humidity-controlled vaults at our Avondale facility
  • Pad-wrapping and a sealed, tagged inventory for every vault
  • Our own crew loads in and redelivers — no second mover to coordinate
  • From $45 per month per vault, billed only while you store
  • Up to $1,000,000 cargo coverage, full-value protection optional
  • Flexible terms for closing gaps, staging, renovation, or a paused move

The questions we get most

Are the storage vaults actually climate-controlled, or just a regular unit?
Genuinely climate- and humidity-controlled. Given how hot and humid Birmingham summers get, a standard metal unit can warp wood and mildew upholstery. Our vaults hold steady temperature and humidity so your furniture and boxes come out in the same shape they went in.
What does it cost to keep my things in storage each month?
Storage starts at $45 a month per vault, and how many vaults you need depends on how much you’re storing. The moving labor to load in and redeliver is quoted alongside your move rather than folded into the monthly fee, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.
Do I have to hire a different company to get my stuff out of storage?
No — that’s the point of storing with us. The same Earls crew that loads your goods into the vault is the crew that redelivers and places them when your new home is ready. One company handles the whole thing, so there’s no second mover or rental truck to line up.
How long can I leave my belongings stored with you?
As long as you need — a few weeks for a closing-date gap or several months through a renovation. Storage is billed monthly, so you’re only paying for the time you actually use. Just give us a heads-up when you’re ready for redelivery so we can schedule the crew.
