| Route | Monthly | Hidden cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Self-storage unit | $180–$320 (10×10) | You move everything twice; two truck days | Long gaps + frequent access needs |
| Portable container | $150–$300 + delivery fees | Street permits; HOA bans; weather | Driveway owners, DIY packers |
| Mover vaults | ~$99/vault (1BR ≈ 2 vaults) | Access requires scheduling | Gaps under 90 days; one-touch moves |
One loading, one unloading — versus the self-storage route's four handlings (load truck, unload to unit, reload truck, unload at home). Handlings are where damage and weekends go to die.
Same service, different trigger: floors refinished, kitchen gutted, whole-house paint. We move furniture out (or into the garage/one room — a cheaper mini-version), hold what needs holding, and return it when the dust settles. Partial-home jobs bill the same flat hourly rates.
Book the move-out date as soon as escrow sets it, even with the move-in date unknown — re-delivery schedules in 2–3 days whenever your keys arrive. Waiting to book until both dates exist is how people end up self-storing in a panic. (213) 676-9460 — the gap is routine for us.
Self-storage 10×10 runs $180–$320/month plus your own double move. Mover vault storage runs ~$99/vault/month with pickup and re-delivery as one continuous service — usually cheaper once labor is counted.
Your goods load once into sealed wooden vaults at our warehouse, then re-deliver when your home is ready. One handling, one bill, climate-protected — versus the self-storage double move.
Yes — gap storage between escrow dates is routine: we load, hold in vaults, and deliver when keys land. Long-distance moves include 30 days of storage free.
