When the old lease ends before the new keys land
Most storage calls come down to timing: your Madisonville-area lease runs out a stretch before you can get into the next place. Locked in a vault at our Manitou yard off Island Ford Rd, your load waits until that first date, then rolls back out on your call — a few days or several months down the line.
Billing runs per crate: a one-bedroom generally fills a single one, two for a two-bedroom, three for a three-bedroom. Each vault crate runs $135 a month, and when we handle both the load-in and the return, the first two weeks are free. Anything in our care carries the released-value baseline of sixty cents per pound, with the option to raise coverage all the way to $1,000,000.
What a crate runs per month
| Your situation | Crates | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| Studio or one-bedroom, brief hold | 1 crate | $135 |
| Two-bed condo moving house to house | 2 crates | $270 |
| Three-bed home waiting on a sale | 3 crates | $405 |
| Four- to five-bed, extended stay | 4–5 crates | $540 – $675 |
| Off-season or relocation holding | 2–3 crates | $270 – $405 |
Getting those crates loaded and later hauled back out bills as a flat line off our standard rates — $128/hr for two movers, $178/hr for three — settled before anyone lifts the first box. Everything under our care and on our trucks retains the complete nine-month period for filing a claim.
Why a storage detour doubles your labor
Do it yourself and you’re hiring movers on two separate days — one team to load a rented unit across town today, a second team weeks out to clear it again. Store through us and one crew crates everything once, keeps it dry through the muggy months and the ice storms, then carries that exact load to your new door. Bundle storage with a residential or long-distance job, and a single crew handles it end to end.
What the flat price includes on a Manitou, KY move
- Dry, watched vault bays that sit inside our own fenced Manitou yard on Island Ford Rd
- Round-trip it and the first fortnight your things sit with us costs nothing
- Each crate gets sealed, written onto an inventory sheet, and parked in a bay of its own, never tossed on a shared heap
- Loads move on pallet jacks, so nothing scrapes across the warehouse floor
- The moment the new keys are in hand, we redeliver at the exact rate you signed for
- Pianos and gun safes fit those bays as well, with every item covered to $1,000,000
So — what will it come to?
Two movers and the truck run $128/hr on the meter — or set the whole job on one signed Hopkins County flat rate written out across a single page
That rate already carries the furniture blankets, the hand trucks, the rolls of shrink film and the slow, careful carries a small-town condo or an Earlington walk-up demands — along with any COI a Madisonville apartment block or a rural HOA needs filed before load-day. A third mover brings it to $178 an hour.
