Calgary Storage Solutions: What to Know When You’re Moving

At Two Small Men with Big Hearts, we have helped move thousands of Canadians and we have seen just how valuable the right storage setup can be. So if you are planning a move in Calgary, here is what you should know about your storage options.

Why People Use Storage in Calgary

People use storage for all sorts of reasons, especially when moving. Some of the most common include:

• Downsizing, but not ready to get rid of certain items

• Waiting for possession of a new home

• Moving out early but staging your home for sale

• Renovating your new place before you fully settle in

• Seasonal storage needs (goodbye snowblower, hello patio set!)

Whatever your reason, having a secure, flexible storage solution in Calgary can help take the pressure off during an already hectic time.

Short-Term Storage

Short-term storage is ideal if you just need a temporary solution for a few days or weeks during a move. We’ll help you load your items, store them safely, and then bring them to your new home when it’s time. No extra stress.

Long-Term Storage

Long-term storage is perfect if you are not sure when you will need your things again. Maybe you are travelling, transitioning between homes, or just don’t have space right now. Our long-term options offer peace of mind with high-security storage and climate-controlled units for delicate items.

Secure Storage You Can Trust

When you leave your belongings with us, we treat them like our own. Our Calgary storage facilities (and our trusted partners) offer:

• 24/7 surveillance and advanced security systems

• Climate-controlled options for sensitive items

• Clean, dry, and pest-free spaces

• Flexible unit sizes

Tips for Using Storage During Your Move

Here are some quick pro tips from our moving team:

• Label everything clearly (trust us, your future self will thank you).

• Keep a box of essentials with you so you are not digging through storage for a toothbrush.

• Don’t store things you will need immediately, like important documents, medications, or your coffee maker.

• Use vertical space wisely and stack lighter items on top of heavier ones.

• Leave a small aisle if you think you will need access before moving day.

Packing Help? We’ve Got You.

We get it. Packing is the least fun part of moving. That’s why we offer complete packing services to take the load off. From bubble wrap to specialty boxes, we’ve got every supply you need. And yes, we will even label everything so it’s easy to find when you are ready to unpack from storage.

Want to pack yourself but still want top-notch supplies? We can provide that too. Check out our packing services page for more info.

Book Your Storage Early

Calgary gets busy during peak moving season. Storage units fill up fast, so we recommend booking early. Our team can help you secure the right storage solution at the right time and even coordinate pickup and drop-off.

Need help figuring out what size of unit you need or how long you will need it for? No problem. Just contact us and we will walk you through the options.
