When your home sale closes before your next purchase is ready which happens constantly in Huntington’s competitive market you’re left figuring out where your belongings go in the meantime. Most people end up coordinating two separate vendors: a moving company and a storage facility. Two contracts, two liability chains, two sets of people handling your furniture. If something gets damaged in the handoff, good luck figuring out who’s responsible.
We handle both the move and the storage, so the same crew that packs your home in Dix Hills or loads your Centerport waterfront property is the same crew that stores your belongings and delivers them to your new front door. There’s no handoff. No gap. One team is accountable from start to finish.
That matters even more in Huntington because of what the climate actually does to stored belongings. Summers here hit the 80s with humidity consistently above 70 percent. Winters push lows into the mid-20s and with Long Island Sound proximity in the northern hamlets, that moisture never fully goes away. Standard storage units along Route 110 aren’t built for that range. Climate-controlled storage isn’t a luxury upgrade here it’s what actually protects your wood furniture, your upholstery, and anything with real value from warping, cracking, or developing mold between moves.
We’ve been operating out of Stony Brook since 1982 about 20 miles east of Huntington Village along the same Route 25A corridor that connects the North Shore communities where most of our customers live. That’s not a coincidence. We know this stretch of Suffolk County well, because we’ve been moving homes here for over 40 years.
We know that Lloyd Harbor has private roads that don’t accommodate every truck configuration. We know that Huntington Village has parking restrictions that catch out-of-town crews off guard. We know that the long driveways in Dix Hills and Cold Spring Harbor require a different approach than a standard suburban block. That kind of local familiarity doesn’t show up on a license but it shows up on moving day.
We’re fully licensed, insured, and USDOT registered. Our flat-rate pricing model means the number on your written estimate is the number on your final invoice something our customers have confirmed publicly, across Yelp, Angi, and Google.
It starts with a written estimate not a ballpark, not a range, a flat number that accounts for what you’re moving, where you’re going, and whether storage is part of the picture. If you’re in the middle of a kitchen renovation in South Huntington or staging your home for sale before a listing goes live, we’ll factor in the storage window from the start so there are no surprises later.
On moving day, our crew shows up, packs what needs packing, loads everything properly, and either delivers directly to your new address or moves your belongings into climate-controlled storage whichever your timeline requires. If storage is involved, your items stay in a regulated environment until you’re ready. No one else touches them. No transfer between facilities, no third-party handling.
When your new home is ready whether that’s three weeks or three months later we coordinate the delivery on your schedule. For families timing a move around the Huntington Union Free School District calendar, that usually means getting settled before September. We plan for that. The summer moving window fills up fast in this town, and we’ll tell you that upfront so you can book accordingly.

Huntington homeowners aren’t storing plastic lawn chairs. The median home value in this town is pushing $905,000, and the furniture, artwork, and heirlooms inside those homes reflect that. Climate-controlled storage isn’t a premium add-on it’s the baseline for anyone storing things that actually matter. Our facilities regulate both temperature and humidity, which is the combination that protects wood, fabric, electronics, and antiques from the kind of damage that a metal shed on Route 110 can’t prevent.
Beyond storage, we offer full-service moving that covers local and long-distance residential moves, packing and unpacking, and specialty item handling for the kinds of pieces that don’t survive a careless move pianos, antiques, oversized art, custom furniture. We also handle commercial moves for businesses along the Route 110 corridor in Melville and South Huntington, where office relocations are a regular part of the market.
Every job comes with a written flat-rate estimate. No hourly billing, no stair fees that appear on moving day, no surprises. If you add items after the initial quote and we confirm them, that number gets updated in writing before the truck moves. That’s how we work and that’s what separates a company that’s been doing this since 1982 from one that opened a Long Island location three years ago.
Yes and in Huntington specifically, climate control is worth paying attention to. The town sits on Long Island’s North Shore, which means coastal humidity is a factor year-round, especially in the waterfront hamlets like Halesite, Centerport, and Lloyd Harbor. Summer humidity regularly exceeds 70 percent, and winter temperatures in this area can drop into the mid-20s. That’s a significant swing, and standard storage units the kind you find along Route 110 are not insulated or humidity-regulated to handle it.
Wood furniture warps in that kind of temperature variation. Fabric and upholstery can develop mold in prolonged humidity. Electronics degrade. Antiques and artwork common in Huntington’s high-value homes are especially vulnerable. Our climate-controlled storage regulates both temperature and humidity, which is what actually protects your belongings over a multi-week or multi-month storage period. If you’re storing anything you’d genuinely miss, that’s the option you want.
Flat-rate pricing means you get a written number before the job starts, and that number doesn’t change on moving day. No hourly billing that climbs every time the crew hits traffic on Route 110. No stair fees that appear out of nowhere. No fuel surcharges added at the end. The estimate accounts for everything discussed upfront the size of the move, the distance, whether storage is involved, and any specialty items that need extra handling.
Huntington buyers tend to be financially sharp, and they notice when a final bill doesn’t match what they were quoted. That’s one of the most common complaints in the moving industry nationally, and it’s why flat-rate pricing matters. Our customers have confirmed across multiple review platforms that the estimate they received matched the final cost including in cases where items were added after the initial quote. That track record is what makes a written estimate actually mean something.
The most practical answer is temporary storage with a company that also handles the move so you’re not doing multiple trips yourself or renting a truck to get everything to a facility and back. Huntington has a significant renovation market driven by an aging housing stock (median construction year around 1956) and home values high enough that owners invest heavily in upgrades rather than selling. Kitchen gut renovations, full-floor refinishing, and bathroom remodels are common across neighborhoods like Dix Hills, Greenlawn, and East Northport.
During a renovation, your belongings need to be out of the affected areas completely not just pushed to another room. We handle the entire process: pack what needs protecting, move it into climate-controlled storage, and return it when the work is done. The Town of Huntington’s Building and Housing department requires permits for most major renovation work, which creates a formal timeline you can actually plan your storage window around. That makes coordinating the move-out and move-back-in more predictable than it might seem.
For summer moves June through August you should be booking six to eight weeks out, minimum. Huntington is a genuine LIRR commuter town, and families with school-age children in the Huntington Union Free School District or South Huntington Union Free School District time their moves around the school calendar. That creates a concentrated surge in July and August where moving slots fill quickly, especially for jobs that also involve storage coordination.
For moves outside of peak season, three to four weeks is generally enough lead time. But if your closing date is firm and your timeline is tight which is common in Huntington’s competitive housing market book as soon as you have a confirmed date. Last-minute availability exists, but you’re competing with a lot of other households in the same situation. The earlier you lock in, the more flexibility you have on scheduling the delivery side of your storage, which is often the harder date to pin down.
This is one of the most common scenarios we handle in Huntington. The town’s housing market is highly competitive Redfin scores it 82 out of 100 and homes sell fast, often above asking price. That speed is great for sellers, but it creates a real logistical problem when your sale closes before your new purchase is finalized. You’re out of one home and not yet into the next, and your belongings need somewhere to go in the meantime.
We handle this in one step. Our crew moves you out on your sale closing date, your belongings go directly into climate-controlled storage, and when your new home is ready whether that’s two weeks or two months later the same team delivers everything. You don’t have to coordinate two separate vendors or worry about liability gaps between them. For Huntington homeowners navigating a compressed real estate timeline, that continuity is one less thing to manage in an already stressful process.
It depends on what you’re moving and what your time is worth. Within Huntington, smaller moves come up often downsizing from a four-bedroom colonial in West Hills to a smaller property, relocating from one hamlet to another, or moving out of a Huntington Station apartment into a first home. These aren’t always large-scale jobs, but they still involve real furniture, real logistics, and real risk of damage if handled carelessly.
Full-service moving makes the most sense when you have items that are hard to move safely without the right equipment furniture that won’t fit through a standard door without disassembly, antiques that need proper wrapping, or a home where the layout makes self-moving genuinely difficult. If you’re in a Northport Village home with narrow staircases or a Centerport property with limited truck access, our crew handles those specifics without you having to figure it out. For straightforward moves with minimal specialty items, the value calculation is more personal but the time savings alone tend to justify it for most Huntington homeowners.
