Boston Movers Blog

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 If the records we’re holding become out of date or of no use, we offer secure shredding with certification for documents and records.
