Closings rarely line up. When your move-out and move-in dates do not match, Appalachian Movers holds your shipment in clean, climate-controlled storage and redelivers when the new place is ready.
Why climate control matters in central PA
A central Pennsylvania year swings hard: humid 90-degree Augusts and single-digit January nights. An unheated barn or self-storage unit lets solid wood crack in summer and soak up damp in winter — and a long stretch in a cold trailer is no kinder to electronics or upholstery.
- Steady temperature and humidity all year — no summer warping or winter damp
- Solid-wood tables, dressers, and antiques kept dry and off the slab
- TVs, computers, and audio gear safe from heat, cold, and humidity
- Upholstery and mattresses wrapped and stored upright, not stacked on a cold floor
- Pads and blankets stay on your furniture the entire stay
One crew, one chain of custody
The same crew that loads your home handles storage and redelivery. Your goods are never passed to a third party or a shared warehouse you have never met — they stay with our team start to finish, under one written rate.
How month-to-month storage works
- We pad-wrap and inventory. Items are blanket-wrapped at your home and logged before they leave — add full packing if you want the cartons done too.
- Stored by the month. Billed at $145–$370 per month by unit size — keep it a week between closings or a few months while a Centre Hall build finishes.
- Redelivery on your date. When the new place clears, we schedule a crew to bring everything back and place it room by room. Get the storage line on your free written quote.

What It Runs
A two-mover team is $115/hr with a two-hour minimum; a three-mover team is $155/hr, and larger jobs are pinned down as one flat written figure before our truck rolls out of Atherton Street.
Two of our own W-2 movers, a padded truck, four-wheelers, shrink wrap and quilted blankets — the whole State College job folded into a single Pennsylvania rate, with no broker handoff at any point.
