For most people, moving and storage expenses are no longer tax-deductible under current IRS guidelines. However, active-duty military members who relocate due to a military order may still qualify. Businesses might be able to deduct these expenses as part of their operational costs. Always consult a tax advisor to determine what applies to your situation and how to maximize any deductions.

You should place sturdy, heavier items at the bottom and lighter ones near the top, and disassemble furniture where possible to create more space. Use boxes of similar size to stack more efficiently and clearly mark each one. You can protect breakables with padding and place items you might need sooner near the front.

Yes, many moving companies provide delivery to storage facilities. Isaac’s Moving & Storage routinely delivers household or commercial items to both self-storage units and our own secure warehouses. We handle the transportation and placement of your belongings, ensuring everything arrives safely and is positioned as needed. Just tell us your preferred destination and we’ll make it happen.

Start by confirming that the company is licensed and insured. Look into their experience, client reviews, and range of available services. It also helps to evaluate their customer service approach and whether they can manage both moving and storage under one agreement. Isaac’s offers decades of proven reliability, with trained professionals who manage your entire relocation from start to finish.

Access times depend on the type of storage you select. Traditional self-storage often provides extended or round-the-clock access. Full-service storage, such as the kind offered by Isaac’s, typically requires scheduling an appointment. This approach allows us to maintain security while making sure your items are available when needed. 

Notify your storage provider ahead of time based on their required notice period, which can range from a few days to a full month. Empty the unit, sweep or clean it, and remove any garbage or unwanted materials. Don’t forget to cancel billing or automatic payments. Isaac’s offers convenient moving services to help you transition smoothly from storage to your next destination.

Unfortunately, no. Most storage facilities have restrictions in place to protect all users. Prohibited items typically include perishables, flammable substances, firearms, hazardous chemicals, and live animals. Some facilities also limit battery storage or certain electronics. 

Isaac’s Moving & Storage maintains clean, secure environments with clear guidelines, and our team is always available to confirm what can safely be stored.

Storage units usually require that you bring your own lock. A disc lock or cylinder lock provides the best security. Once your items are inside, close the door, insert the lock into the latch, and double-check that it’s secure. If you choose full-service storage with Isaac’s, your items are sealed and protected within our secured facility, with no lock required on your part.
