Most people don’t go looking for storage until something forces the question. A closing date slides two weeks, or a parent decides the house in Cress Creek is too much to keep up. By then, the real question isn’t where to rent a unit. It’s who can take everything off your hands, keep it in the shape it’s in today, and bring it back when you’re ready.
That second question is the one Jackson Moving & Storage has been answering for more than a century. We plan Naperville storage solutions around the event that created the need, not around a unit size on a price board. The people who pad-wrap your dining table at pickup are the same people who seal it onto a pallet at our warehouse, and the office that quotes your job sits on Frontenac Road in north Naperville. Our main storage services page covers the facility itself; this page is about fitting storage to your situation.
Matching Storage to What's Actually Happening in Your Life
Two households can store the same amount of furniture and need completely different arrangements. A family waiting three weeks on a new build in Ashbury wants the whole load packed so it can come back in one trip. Someone sorting a late spouse’s workshop needs time, and boxes grouped so the fishing gear is easy to find. Before quoting, we ask how long you’ll store, what you’ll want back first, and what worries you most. Good Naperville storage solutions come out of those answers far more than out of a square-foot calculation.
Naperville’s spring listing season moves fast, and agents routinely ask sellers to clear out a third of their furniture before listing photos are taken. We remove the oversized sectional, the extra bookcases, and the spare-room treadmill, then hold it all until closing. If the buyer’s lender pushes the date, your storage extends. Nobody has to rebook a truck.
A lot of homes built across Naperville in the 1980s and 1990s are due for new kitchens and refinished lower levels at the same time. Contractors need empty rooms, and drywall dust finds its way into upholstery no matter how many drop cloths go down. Removing furniture usually costs less than cleaning or replacing it later. Our short-term storage covers a few weeks or a few months, and we deliver back to the rooms you name once the final inspection is signed.
When a parent moves from a four-bedroom colonial into a two-bedroom apartment closer to Edward Hospital, the furniture that won’t fit rarely gets decided on moving day. We store whatever the family hasn’t agreed on, so nobody is pushed into giving away the piano in a weekend. Our senior moving team often coordinates the move and the storage as one job.
This is the hardest reason anyone calls us. A house often has to be emptied for sale or lease long before the family is ready to go through it. We pack by room, label every box, and keep the contents in climate-controlled storage until you’re ready. There is no pressure from our side to decide quickly.
North Central College students who live too far away to haul a dorm room home each May are a regular part of our summer. So are families on an overseas assignment that starts before the house sells. For them, long-term storage with a moving company beats renting a unit and hoping the roof holds. When the assignment ends, our long-distance moving or international moving crews can deliver straight from the warehouse to your new address.
Packed Once. Sealed Tight. Back When You Call.

Inside the Warehouse: Space, Fire Protection, and Steady Conditions
Square footage tells you whether a company can take your whole house. Our Naperville operation includes about 250,000 square feet of household storage, another 250,000 square feet set aside for business records, and 70,000 square feet of self-storage. That capacity is what lets our Naperville storage solutions scale from a studio’s worth of boxes to a home with a three-car garage full of tools, without squeezing your shipment into whatever corner is left.
The building is fireproof, and the storage areas are climate-controlled. That matters in DuPage County, where July humidity swells wooden drawers and mildews cardboard, and a February cold snap cracks finishes and hurts anything with a battery. Climate-controlled storage keeps leather sofas, upright pianos, family photographs, and record collections at steady conditions while they wait. An unheated garage or a drive-up unit can’t offer that.
How One-Touch Storage Protects What You Bring In
Each time a box is picked up and set down, it can be dropped, crushed, or scuffed. Conventional storage involves several of those moments. Our system cuts them down. Once your belongings arrive at the warehouse, they’re placed on pallets, sealed, and set into position by forklift. Nobody restacks your things to make room for someone else’s delivery.
The sealed load comes out the way it went in, so we can stand behind its condition. For household moves with a gap between homes, One-Touch Storage is the option we recommend most often. Ask about it when you request a quote.
Records and Document Storage in Naperville for Local Businesses
Naperville’s business community runs from the office campuses along Diehl Road and I-88 to the medical practices around Edward Hospital and the law and accounting firms near Jefferson Avenue downtown. Most share one problem: file boxes that must be kept for years but don’t earn their floor space. Our dedicated records area holds archived files, closed client folders, and older financial and personnel records under the same fire protection as our household storage.
We also hold inventory, trade show displays, and office furniture during buildouts. If your office is relocating, our corporate relocation team can plan the move and your document storage in Naperville as a single project, so your archives never need a separate vendor.
Boxes, Packing Kits, and a Few Tips From Our Crews
If you plan to pack yourself, we sell boxes in several sizes and usually keep a limited supply of free boxes on hand. For people who don’t want to build a supply list, we offer pre-made packing kits in four options, sized to the job.
Packing for storage differs from packing for a quick move. Fill each carton to the top so it won’t cave under the weight of the boxes stacked above it. Keep books and tools in small boxes. Mark anything you’ll want back early, like winter coats or the kids’ hockey gear, with colored tape so we can pull it without unsealing the rest. If you’d rather hand off the whole job, our professional packing services cover it.
Pickup Across Naperville and Nearby Towns
Our trucks cover both sides of town, from Cress Creek and Old Farm on the north side to Tall Grass, Ashbury, and the subdivisions off 95th Street and 248th Avenue in the Will County portion of the city. Townhomes near the Route 59 Metra station and condos in the Water Street District each have their own parking and loading quirks, and our dispatchers plan for them in advance. That kind of local planning is part of what makes our Naperville storage solutions run smoothly on pickup day.
We also pick up regularly in Aurora, Lisle, Warrenville, Wheaton, Downers Grove, Woodridge, Bolingbrook, and Plainfield. Moving within town at the same time? Our Naperville moving company team can combine the move and the storage on one schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions About Storage in Naperville
How is your storage different from renting a self-storage unit?
With a rental unit, you rent the truck, load it, drive it, and stack everything yourself. With Jackson Moving & Storage, our crew packs and loads at your home, brings the shipment to our fireproof, climate-controlled warehouse, and delivers it back when you are ready. You make one phone call instead of managing each step.
What happens if my closing date moves?
Your storage simply extends. Call the office with the new date and we will reschedule delivery. You do not have to rebook trucks or find a second company, which is one of the main reasons sellers put belongings with us during a sale.
Are there items you cannot store?
Yes. We cannot accept gasoline, propane tanks, paint, solvents, cleaning chemicals, perishable food, plants, or anything flammable or hazardous. We also recommend keeping cash, jewelry, passports, and irreplaceable documents with you rather than in any storage facility.
Can you store my belongings now and deliver them to another state later?
Yes. As an agent for North American Van Lines and Allied Van Lines, we can hold your shipment in Naperville and then deliver it long distance once your new home is ready, without unloading and reloading it with a different mover.
Is One-Touch Storage only for full households?
No. One-Touch Storage works for a single room of furniture as well as a full house. The shipment is placed on pallets, sealed, and moved by forklift, which limits how often your items are handled regardless of the size of the load.
Do you store business files and archives?
Yes. We have a dedicated records area for archived files, closed client folders, and older financial and personnel records. It is kept separate from household storage and has the same fire protection.
How should I prepare furniture for long-term storage?
Clean and fully dry everything first, since trapped moisture causes mildew. Avoid wrapping wood furniture tightly in plastic, which holds humidity against the finish. Our crews pad-wrap furniture during pickup, so in most cases you only need to empty drawers and remove loose glass shelves.
Do you pick up outside Naperville?
Yes. We regularly pick up in Aurora, Lisle, Warrenville, Wheaton, Downers Grove, Woodridge, Bolingbrook, and Plainfield, along with other DuPage and Will County communities. Call with your address and we will confirm coverage.
Can I store a loved one's belongings while the family decides what to keep?
Yes, and there is no deadline from us. We pack the home by room, label each box, and hold everything in climate-controlled space. When the family is ready, we can deliver everything to one address or split the shipment among several relatives.
