Closings rarely line up. When your move-out and move-in dates do not match, Behrens Moving and Storage holds your shipment in clean, climate-controlled storage and redelivers when the new place is ready.
Why climate control matters here
A Nittany Valley year swings hard: a January deep freeze that can crack solid wood and burst pipes, a humid Centre County August, and farm-country barns that offer no real climate protection at all. An unconditioned unit lets finishes crack and electronics fail — and an unheated pole barn is no kinder to upholstery.
- Steady temperature and humidity all year — no winter cracking or summer swelling
- Solid-wood tables, dressers, and antiques kept dry and off the floor
- TVs, computers, and audio gear safe from freezing temperatures and humidity
- Upholstery and mattresses wrapped and stored upright, not stacked on a cold slab
- 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 few weeks between closings or a few months while a Boalsburg 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.
Who uses storage around State College
It is most common during a gap between closings, a Penn State lease that bridges May-to-August, or a long-distance relocation, and serves households all over our metro service area.

What It Costs Around State College
A two-mover team runs $115/hr with a two-hour minimum; a three-mover team is $155/hr, and bigger State College jobs are pinned down as one flat written figure before our truck rolls off Benner Pike.
Two of our own W-2 movers, a padded box truck, four-wheelers, shrink wrap and quilted blankets — the entire State College job folded into a single Behrens Moving and Storage rate, with no handoff to a third-party van line at any point in the day.
