Storage Services Saint Augustine, Florida

Storage companies typically offer two main types of services: warehouse storage and portable (pod) storage. Warehouse storage involves keeping your items in a secure, centralized facility, ideal for long-term or high-volume needs. 

Portable storage, on the other hand, delivers a container to your location, which you can pack at your convenience and either leave on-site or have transported back to a facility for safekeeping. 

Moving.com adds, “You pack it — they move it — whether you’re a business or an individual using it at home.” 

At Ravan Moving & Storage, we provide both warehouse and pod storage solutions to suit your preferences. 

Our secure warehouse in St. Augustine is climate-controlled, 20,000 sq ft, and ideal for long-term or transitional storage, while our portable storage units offer flexibility for those who need short-term or on-site solutions. 

“Whether you’re remodeling, relocating, or downsizing, we’ll help you choose the right fit for your situation,” promises Colby Ravan, Vice President of Ravan Moving and Storage and a 20-year veteran in the moving service industry.

Reputable storage providers take multiple steps to protect your belongings, including climate-controlled environments, pest control systems, fire suppression, and round-the-clock security. 

Consider not only the security of your items but also protection from the environment as well. 

MoveBuddha notes, “Items that are sensitive to extreme temperatures or humidity should be stored in a temperature-controlled storage unit. Moving containers do not offer that level of protection.”

“At Ravan Moving & Storage, we maintain a clean, secure warehouse with 24/7 surveillance, pest control measures, and fire protection systems,” says Vice President of Ravan Moving and Storage, Colby Ravan. 

Our pods are made from weather-resistant materials and are designed to protect your belongings from rain and snow. For sensitive items like electronics, antiques, or pianos, we also offer climate-controlled warehouse storage options for added peace of mind.

Storage pricing can vary based on the type of storage, unit size, location, and length of stay. Some providers bill monthly with discounts for longer-term contracts, while others offer flexible short-term rates. 

Additional fees may apply for delivery, pickup, access, or special handling, so it’s important to understand the full pricing structure before committing. 

Ravan Moving & Storage offers transparent pricing with no hidden fees. 

Our warehouse and portable storage options are competitively priced and billed monthly, with flexible terms available. 

“We’re happy to provide an upfront quote based on your specific storage needs, and we’ll walk you through the costs so you know exactly what to expect,” adds Vice President of Ravan Moving and Storage, Colby Ravan.

Access policies vary by storage provider. Some warehouse storage facilities require advance notice or appointments to retrieve items, while portable storage gives you direct access if the pod is kept at your property. 

If the pod is stored at a facility, you may still need to schedule a time to access it.

Move.org advises, “Most storage units can be accessed only during standard business hours.” 

At Ravan Moving & Storage, we make accessing your items simple. If you’ve chosen warehouse storage, you can call ahead to schedule a convenient time to retrieve or add items. If you’re using our portable storage and have it on-site, you’ll have access 24/7. “If the unit is stored at our facility, we’ll coordinate with you to ensure easy access when needed,” adds Vice President of Ravan Moving and Storage, Colby Ravan.

Some storage companies are full-service, meaning they include professional movers or drivers to assist with loading, unloading, and transportation. 

MoveBuddha.com adds, “Full-service movers often offer storage, vehicle shipping, and special handling for items like pianos, fine art, or bulky fitness equipment.”

Others offer self-service options where the customer is responsible for these tasks. Knowing what’s included helps you plan and avoid unexpected labor costs. 

At Ravan Moving & Storage, we provide both options. 

Our team can handle the heavy lifting and transportation for you, or if you prefer a do-it-yourself approach, we can simply deliver a pod for you to load at your own pace. We will then transport the pod or deliver items stored in our warehouse to the location of your choice.  

“Whether you want hands-on support or a flexible drop-off solution, our team is here to assist,” assures Vice President of Ravan Moving and Storage, Colby Ravan.

Storage providers typically offer basic liability coverage, which is often based on the weight of the items stored. However, this may not reflect the true value of your belongings. 

Many companies also provide the option to purchase additional insurance for greater peace of mind, especially for high-value or delicate items. 

Ravan Moving & Storage offers double the minimum coverage for intrastate / local at $1.20 per pound with no deductible or charge to shipper.

Vice President of Ravan Moving and Storage, Colby Ravan, says, “We’ll guide you through your insurance options to make sure your items, especially valuables like family heirlooms or musical instruments, are covered appropriately while in our care.”
