Flexible Storage Options to Fit Your Needs
When move-out and move-in dates don’t line up, flexible storage gives you a safe place for your belongings until you’re ready for them.
Why Use Storage During a Move?
Utilizing a storage unit during your move can ease the transition and reduce stress.
Here’s how:
Declutter while staging or showing your home.
Bridge gaps between move-out and move-in dates.
Protect seasonal or infrequently used items.
Manage renovations or delays.
Choosing the Right Storage Facility Matters

- 24-hour security cameras, armed guards, and trained guard dogs.
Customer-only access, with clients professionally escorted to and from storage areas.
Clean, well-lit, Energy Star-certified storage facility.
Thermostatic climate control and insulation protect belongings from damage due to humidity, moths, and other pests.
Protection for items such as leather furniture, musical instruments, books, electronic equipment, fine linens, mattresses, and business files.
A separate section with museum-designed, museum-quality climate control for art and antiques.
Pre-inspection ensures that no perishables or flammable items go into storage.
We offer month-to-month plans, discounted pre-pay rates, and competitively priced insurance coverage for short- or long-term storage.
Our storage space is scalable, making it ideal for both personal and business use. Commercial clients use our climate-controlled storage for documents, overflow inventory, equipment, and staging materials.
Premium Climate-Controlled Protection
When choosing a storage solution, climate control matters as much as the size of the unit. Little John’s Storage helps protect belongings from New York’s changing weather with advanced climate-controlled units.
What’s at Stake?
Temperature swings and humidity can damage sensitive items like leather, linens, instruments, electronics, artwork, antiques, and paper documents. Here’s why:
Heat and Cold Extremes: Wood can warp or crack, and electronics may corrode or malfunction.
Humidity: High moisture can cause mold and mildew to grow on linens, clothing, and documents.
Dry Air: Excessively dry conditions can dry out leather, causing it to crack and lose its finish.
Condensation: Temperature changes can trap moisture in boxes or electronics.
Trust the Advanced Climate-Control Technology at Little John’s Storage
At our Bronx-based storage facility, we go beyond basic thermostatic regulation. Our climate-controlled units feature thermostatic control to maintain stable temperatures year-round. Anti-humidity insulation also keeps moisture levels balanced.
In addition, we offer museum-grade climate zones for high-value items like fine art and antiques. This technology ensures that your stored items remain in pristine condition, no matter how long they stay in storage.
Whether you’re protecting a valuable painting, storing family heirlooms, or safeguarding your business records, climate-controlled storage solutions from Big John’s provide the security and stability your belongings deserve.

Storage Solutions for Every NYC Household, Business & Use Case
Little John’s Storage supports a wide range of NYC storage needs in one secure, climate-controlled facility. Our residential clients use our space during renovations, between moves, or for seasonal overflow. Commercial clients choose Little John’s for inventory, paperwork, seasonal display, and office furniture storage – the larger units are ideal for vehicle storage. Our specialty clients trust our climate zones for art, antiques, archives, and other sensitive items.

How to Pick the Right Storage Unit Size for Your NYC Apartment
Choosing the right storage unit size helps keep storage practical and affordable. Oversizing means paying for space you don’t need, while undersizing can lead to cramming, stacking, and a higher risk of damage.
As a general guide, a 5×10 unit can usually fit the contents of a dorm room or studio apartment. A 10×10 unit is often right for a one-bedroom apartment and is one of the most commonly rented sizes. A 10×20 unit can hold the contents of a larger household, including many three-bedroom homes.
Little John’s Storage offers eight different unit sizes across more than one million cubic feet of climate-controlled space. This gives NYC households more control over unit size – no need to settle for an awkward footprint. During your free estimate, Big John’s team can help match your unit size to your furniture, boxes, specialty items, and timeline. That way, your storage costs will align with your actual needs.
Honest Pricing, Flexible Terms & Free On-Premise Estimates
Storage pricing should be clear before you commit. Big John’s Moving and Little John’s Storage offer month-to-month terms with no hidden fees, plus free on-premise estimates and online quotes so customers can work with real numbers.
Senior citizens and military families receive dedicated discounts, and long-distance moving clients receive one month of free storage. These savings reflect Big John’s long-standing commitment to the NYC community.
Because Big John’s is independently owned, not a national chain or franchise, pricing reflects actual facility costs rather than franchise overhead. That independence has defined the company since 1977 and continues today under founder John Healey.
