Storage Options for Every Need

Not every storage need looks the same. The right solution depends on how long you need storage, what you’re storing, how much space you need, and how often you’ll need access to your belongings. McGuire offers a range of storage options, so you’re not stuck choosing between a unit that’s too small or a commitment that’s too long.

Household Storage

McGuire stores household goods for families throughout every stage of life, including:

  • Furniture and household goods
  • Seasonal belongings, like holiday decorations and off-season clothing
  • Downsizing to a smaller home
  • Home renovations that require clearing out a room or an entire house
  • Moving between homes when your closing dates don’t align
  • Estate-related storage while a property is settled or sold

Whether you need to store a few boxes or the contents of an entire household, our team can help determine the right amount of space and the right storage option.

Business & Commercial Storage

Businesses use McGuire’s storage and warehousing services to manage inventory, equipment, and space without the overhead of a permanent warehouse lease. Common uses include:

  • Business inventory and overstock
  • Equipment and machinery
  • Furniture and fixtures
  • Office and retail supplies
  • Business relocations and office moves
  • Temporary space needs during a build-out or transition

Short-Term Storage

Short-term storage is a practical solution when you need extra space for a limited window of time. Customers turn to McGuire for short-term storage between home closings, during a renovation, for a temporary relocation, while staging a home for sale, when a moving date gets delayed, or during a business transition.

Long-Term Storage

Some situations call for storage that lasts for months or even years: a military deployment, an extended overseas assignment, a family estate that hasn’t yet been settled, or simply a household with more belongings than current space allows. McGuire’s long-term storage is built for exactly these situations, with the same secure, climate-controlled environment used for short-term customers.

Climate-Controlled Storage

Climate-controlled storage helps protect items that are sensitive to temperature swings and humidity, such as wood furniture, electronics, photographs, artwork, musical instruments, and important documents. McGuire’s storage facility includes climate-controlled units designed to maintain a more consistent environment than standard storage, helping reduce the risk of warping, mildew, and other humidity-related damage.

Specialized Storage

Beyond standard household and business storage, McGuire offers more specialized capabilities, including:

Moving and Storage in St. Louis

One of the biggest advantages of working with McGuire is that we’re a moving company and a storage provider in one. Instead of hiring a separate mover to transport your belongings to a self-storage facility, McGuire can handle pickup, transportation, storage, and eventual delivery, all coordinated by the same team.

Storage Between Moves

Moves don’t always go exactly as scheduled. McGuire’s storage services are a common solution when:

  • Closing dates on your old and new home don’t line up
  • Your new home isn’t ready for move-in yet
  • You’re relocating temporarily for work or a life change
  • You need to move out of your current home before your next one is available
  • You’re renovating your current home and need belongings out of the way
  • You’re downsizing and need time to sort through belongings

McGuire Handles the Move and Storage

How does moving and storage work with McGuire? The process is straightforward:

  1. McGuire’s crew picks up your belongings from your home or business.
  2. Items are transported to McGuire’s storage facility.
  3. Your belongings remain safely in storage for as long as you need — days, months, or longer.
  4. When you’re ready, McGuire delivers your belongings to your new location.

Because one company handles the entire process, there’s no need to coordinate between a moving company and a separate storage facility, and no risk of items being handled by multiple, unfamiliar crews along the way.

Business Storage and Warehousing

Businesses throughout the St. Louis area use McGuire for storage and warehousing needs that don’t justify signing a conventional warehouse lease. Whether you need space for a few months or an ongoing arrangement, McGuire can provide a flexible alternative.

Common business applications include:

  • Inventory storage
  • Furniture and equipment storage
  • Retail inventory and overstock
  • Office furniture during a relocation or renovation
  • Distribution support
  • Relocation and transition projects
  • Seasonal inventory
  • Project-based or temporary storage needs

Warehouse Storage

McGuire’s storage facility spans roughly 250,000 square feet across five acres, centrally located in St. Louis. The facility is climate-controlled and monitored by a continuous surveillance system, giving businesses a secure alternative to leasing and managing their own warehouse space. Businesses can use McGuire’s warehousing for temporary overflow during a busy season or as an ongoing storage arrangement.

Inventory & Asset Management

For businesses storing inventory or equipment over time, McGuire offers asset management services to help track what’s in storage. This can make it easier to coordinate retrieval, delivery, and restocking without needing to physically inspect the facility for every update.

Specialized Storage Solutions

McGuire’s capabilities go well beyond a standard storage unit, giving St. Louis businesses and households access to services that most traditional storage facilities can’t offer.

Records & Document Storage

Businesses that need to retain records but don’t have office space to store them turn to McGuire for records and document storage. This service is useful for law firms, medical offices, financial businesses, and any organization required to retain paperwork for compliance or reference. Stored records can be organized, tracked, and retrieved as needed, and McGuire also offers shredding services for documents that are ready to be securely destroyed.

Palletized Storage

Palletized storage involves organizing and storing goods on pallets, which makes it easier to move, track, and access larger quantities of inventory or bulk items. It’s a practical option for businesses storing large volumes of product or materials that need to be retrieved efficiently.

Vaulted Storage

Vaulted storage places household or business belongings into individual, enclosed containers within McGuire’s facility. This approach can help keep items organized and separated from other customers’ belongings while they remain in long-term or short-term storage.

Specialty & High-Value Storage

Some belongings need extra care and handling, whether due to fragility, sentimental value, or cost. McGuire’s team is experienced in packing and storing specialty and high-value items, using custom crating and careful handling practices to help protect them while in storage.

How Much Does Storage Cost in St. Louis?

  • The amount of space required
  • The type of storage (standard, climate-controlled, records, palletized, etc.)

  • Whether transportation or pickup/delivery is involved
  • Any special handling requirements for fragile or high-value items
