Storage Solutions Stony Brook

Your Stuff, Safe and Accessible

You need storage that doesn’t create more problems. That means a facility you can actually get to when you need your things, units that won’t turn your furniture into a science experiment, and pricing that doesn’t change every few months just because they can.

Our storage facility in Stony Brook gives you climate-controlled units that handle Long Island’s humid summers and freezing winters. Ground-level access means you’re not hauling boxes up flights of stairs. And because we’re also a moving company, you don’t have to coordinate between different vendors when you need to store items during a move.

Whether you’re a student storing furniture between semesters, downsizing and need temporary space, or a business looking for document storage, you get straightforward month-to-month contracts and access hours that work with your schedule, not against it.

Storage Services Stony Brook NY

What You Get With Storage

Every storage unit includes climate control to protect against humidity, temperature swings, and the kind of moisture problems that destroy furniture and documents. You get 24/7 security monitoring, gated access, and ground-level units that don’t require stairs or elevators.

We also provide moving services specifically for storage customers. That includes professional packing for fragile items, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and proper loading techniques that maximize your space and protect your belongings. Many Stony Brook residents use this during semester transitions, home sales, or business relocations.

For businesses, we offer document storage with organized systems and easy retrieval. Students get flexible contracts that work with academic schedules. And everyone gets transparent pricing with no surprise fees or automatic rate increases.

What size storage unit do I need for my belongings?

Unit size depends on what you’re storing and how you want to access it. A 5×10 unit typically holds a bedroom’s worth of furniture, while a 10×10 handles most apartments. For whole houses, you’re looking at 10×20 or larger. We don’t oversell space – we’d rather you start with what you need and upgrade if necessary. During your consultation, we’ll assess your inventory and recommend the most cost-effective size. Remember, proper packing and organization can significantly reduce the space you need.

Are your storage units climate controlled year-round?

Yes, all our storage units maintain consistent temperature and humidity levels throughout the year. This is crucial on Long Island where summer humidity can warp wood furniture and winter temperature swings can crack leather and damage electronics. Climate control isn’t optional here – it’s necessary protection for anything you care about keeping in good condition. The system runs continuously, so your belongings stay in the same environment whether it’s July or January.

Can you move my belongings directly into storage?

Absolutely. This is one of the main advantages of working with a moving company that also provides storage. We can pack your items at your current location, transport them directly to your storage unit, and organize everything for easy access later. This eliminates the need to coordinate between separate moving and storage companies, and it ensures your belongings are handled professionally throughout the entire process. We can also retrieve items from storage and deliver them to your new location when you’re ready.

What are your access hours and security measures?

You can access your storage unit seven days a week from 6 AM to 10 PM. The facility has gated access with individual codes, 24/7 video surveillance, and on-site security monitoring. All units are in well-lit areas with wide aisles for easy loading and unloading. We’ve designed the security system to give you convenient access while keeping unauthorized people out. If you need access outside regular hours for an emergency, we can usually accommodate that with advance notice.

Do you offer short-term storage for students?

Yes, we work with many Stony Brook University students who need storage between semesters or during study abroad programs. Our month-to-month contracts mean you’re not locked into long-term commitments, and we can coordinate pickup and delivery around academic schedules. We understand the timing pressures students face at the end of semesters, so we offer flexible scheduling for move-in and move-out dates. Many students also appreciate our packing services since they often don’t have the materials or experience to properly protect furniture and electronics.

What happens if I need to access my storage unit frequently?

Frequent access is no problem – that’s why we provide ground-level units and extended access hours. Some customers store business inventory, seasonal items they rotate regularly, or belongings they’re gradually moving to a new home. We can organize your unit with frequently accessed items near the front and provide shelving or other organizational tools to make retrieval easier. There are no additional fees for accessing your unit multiple times per month, and our wide aisles accommodate larger vehicles if you’re loading and unloading regularly.
