In addition to great moving service, Marathon offers its skill and care to store
any and/or all your goods. We offer short and long-term storage. Due
to complications in real estate transactions, storage is sometimes a
need that can’t be foreseen. Where would you be then if your mover did
not offer it? With a combination mover and self storage facility, the
ability to have your goods insured
throughout the entire move process is lost without singular care
custody and control. Self storage facilities will only offer
protection for fire ,flood, etc and not chips or scratches to your
items. Your mover can not insure your goods since the items can’t be
left padded and you may access the unit to access items and cause
damage.
Many people choose this option thinking it will save money, but this is not generally the case. Especially for short term storage of twelve months or less.
Our storage facility allows your storage vault(s) to be brought
directly to the loading dock. Your items remain padded until delivered
back to your new home. This saves a lot of time on loading and
unloading your storage items. At a self store facility, your unit is
often floors and hundreds of yards away which adds to the time needed.
Your furniture also needs to be unwrapped to go to self storage and then
wrapped to load onto the truck to be delivered back to you which adds
time. Finally, there is the time for your move crew to drive to and
from the storage facility. All of this will most likely make self
storage more expensive than your mover provided storage. That is why we
recommend self storage only if you need continuous access to the items
being stored.
We do more than just residential storage as well. We do commercial and records storage
too. Hospitals, law firms, construction files, you name it and we
store it. So don’t pay for office space that is only going to be used
for old documents or archival files, store with Marathon for great cost
savings. Our electronic database system will make recalling your
documents easy and fast, whenever you want. If the records we’re holding
become out of date or of no use, we offer secure shredding with
certification for documents and records.
