Short-Term Storage Between Moves in Dayton

Closing pushed a week, or the new place just isn't ready? We hold your belongings at our own Dayton yard and bring them back the day you're set — one crew, one combined price, both trips covered. Kevin and I have handled these in-between stretches since 2011.

Same-day figure on paper

Point us through the place room by room, flag the stairs and tell us where a truck can sit — a firm number comes back that same day, in writing.

One flat rate, nothing bolted on

Pads, shrink wrap and tape already sit inside that figure, so nothing gets re-tallied after the ramp comes down.

Packing, some of it or all

Kitchens get dish barrels, closets get wardrobe cartons, and anything glass or stone rides in a crate we build to fit.

One lead from first box to last

Whoever sizes up your home is the lead on the truck and the one who runs the closing walk-through — no hand-off midway.

A guarded place to keep the household for the weeks between one home and the next, whether a sale fell through on timing, the new keys aren’t ready, or a remodel is mid-swing. It leaves on our truck and returns on it, handled by the same crew both ways.

How the storage hand-off runs

  • Every piece gets wrapped and stacked on the truck just like a door-to-door job.
  • Your goods sit in an inventoried, secured bay at our Wagner Ford Rd yard — not loose on a shared floor.
  • The moment your new place is ready, that same Tobin crew brings it back and sets every piece where it goes.

Pricing the hold

You pay a monthly rate tied to the cubic space your load takes up, and both the drop-off and pickup trips are locked flat before we start. Move out, storage, and move back in all land on a single written figure — one number, not three invoices.

Only need the move? See local moving.

What the Flat Rate Already Covers

Everything listed here is baked into every job as standard — not one line reappears as an extra when the final bill lands.

  • Our $118 and $168 crew rates applied both loading into storage and unloading later
  • One written price that folds together the crew work and the days your things are held
  • Built for stalled closings, pushed move-in dates and mid-winter renovations
  • Diane keeping a dated log of each time your load comes into and out of our Wagner Ford Rd yard
  • Evening or weekend collection and drop-off charged no differently than any other slot
  • Cargo coverage of up to a million dollars per shipment kept active across every day in storage
  • Blankets, dollies and shrink-wrap used the same on the trip out and the trip home

Common Questions

Are you an actual mover with your own storage, or a broker?
An actual mover. Tobin Brothers is family-owned, licensed and insured in Dayton, with our own trucks, our own crew and our own yard on Wagner Ford Rd — Ohio PUCO registration plus US DOT and MC authority.
The sale date keeps moving on me — is there a limit on how long you'll keep it?
Most holds run two to six weeks, tied to a closing or the gap between homes. If it stretches past that, Kevin sets up an extended hold with you directly, so you're never scrambling for a last-minute unit.
My move-in got pushed and my lease is up — can you take it all today?
We can, and it's a call we get often. You move out on your last lease day, we store the household at our yard, and delivery happens whenever the new place opens — there's no fixed end date.
Are the storage days billed apart from the move?
No, they're quoted together. When you book, the crew labor and the days in the bay come as one price, so no separate storage invoice turns up later with its own due date.
What kind of space do my belongings sit in, and who can get to them?
Padded and stacked in the bay we run ourselves on Wagner Ford Rd — not dropped in a rented public-storage cell. Diane logs each load in and out, so its spot is always accounted for.
Does the coverage stay active while it's stored?
Yes, start to finish. The per-shipment protection, up to a million dollars, runs straight through the warehouse days with the nine-month claim window intact — nothing lapses between the outbound truck, the hold and the return.
The move, start to finish

How Our Crew Runs a Move

  1. 1

    Free quote — ten minutes, tops

    We handle: Tell us how many rooms, whether it’s stairs or an elevator, and the nearest legal spot for the truck; a flat written price follows.

    What helps most: Keep any building COI rules and elevator windows nearby — that’s what turns the number from a guess into an exact figure.

  2. 2

    We nail down the date and access

    We handle: Any freight elevator gets reserved and we clear curb space with the city, so the truck parks at your door instead of down the street.

    What helps most: Line up the two dates — when you’re out of the old place and into the new one — and pass us the tighter of the two.

  3. 3

    Wrap & protect

    We handle: Every piece of furniture goes under a moving blanket, upholstery gets shrink-wrapped, and bed frames and table legs come apart into bags tagged with their own hardware.

    What helps most: Mark each box with the room it’s headed to, and carry papers, keys and anything small and valuable yourself rather than loading them.

  4. 4

    Load, haul, set down & review

    We handle: Whoever loads the truck is who unloads it — pieces land where you point, beds go back together, and we haul off the packing debris.

    What helps most: Walk the place with the crew lead before the truck rolls off, while anything still left to fix costs you nothing.
