Storage Facility Office Moving in Boston and MetroWest

Spring and summer are self-storage's busy months, so most facilities prefer to move the office in the fall or winter. Your manager decides which supplies stay on sale until the last day and when the counter can close. We move the reserve stock and spare racks first, and the counter last, once the office has closed for the day or on a weekend.

If the new office is on the same property, the move may be a short carry across the lot rather than a truck ride, but the drive aisles still have customers in them, so we keep carts out of their way. If it is at another address, measure the counter sections against the new doors. Owners and lenders sometimes want to see our insurance certificate; we can issue one.

Retail stock damages differently from office furniture. Flat boxes crush at the edges, so they travel squared and strapped in bundles. Rolls are kept upright so they do not flatten, and small items go into closed cartons by product so nothing is lost in a mixed box. Each carton is marked with its new shelf.

The counter and desks get pads at the corners, and removable parts are bagged with their piece. Desk computers and the receipt printer are reconnected at the new counter, and your management-software and payment providers test the systems. The security vendor keeps the gate, cameras, and alarm running or moves them on its own schedule. Staff count the stock on the new shelves before the first customer of the day.
