Storage Built Around Your Montecito Project
Remodel & renovation holds
When an estate renovation clears rooms for months, we pack, crate, and hold the contents in our secure Ventura facility until the work is done.
Staging & sale storage
Going to market often means clearing most of the furniture so the home photographs and shows well. We collect, store, and re-deliver on your timeline.
Pad-wrapped and palletized
Every piece is blanket-wrapped and racked off the floor. Nothing is loose-stacked or left unprotected in your storage space.
Climate options for collections
Fine art, antiques, and wine can be held in climate-controlled storage so a collection is protected between residences or during a remodel.
One crew, no handoffs
The same in-house team packs, moves, stores, and re-delivers. Your belongings are never transferred to a third party.
Scheduled re-delivery
Name the date and our crew returns to Montecito with everything, fully insured and placed in the right rooms, coordinated with your estate manager.

Montecito Storage FAQs
We handle everything under one contract. Our crew arrives at your Montecito property, packs and pad-wraps your belongings, loads the truck, and drives to our secure Ventura facility where items are racked off the floor in an assigned space. When the house or new property is ready, we schedule re-delivery and the same crew brings everything back up the 101. One company, one written price, start to finish.
The facility is at our Ventura headquarters, about 30 minutes from Montecito on the 101. We do not have a warehouse in Montecito or Santa Barbara; your belongings are held in our own secure Ventura building, handled only by our in-house crew, and re-delivered to Montecito on the date you set.
Cost depends on how much you are storing and how long you need it held. A staging hold for a few rooms is priced by the space your inventory fills, while a full estate clear-out during a renovation takes more space and more wrap time. We fold the storage charge into your overall quote so you get one clear written number. Call (805) 697-6220 for an estimate.
Yes. Fine art and antiques are crated and held with climate-controlled options, and wine can be stored in climate-controlled conditions so a collection is protected for the length of the project. Everything is logged on a signed inventory when it leaves the house and checked against it when it returns.
Yes. When a Montecito property is going to market, we collect the furniture the stager wants gone, hold it securely, and re-deliver after closing or to the next residence. For downsizing moves we offer flexible hold times, with no pressure while family decisions settle and the estate finds its next shape.
We can hold items for as few as 3 days, so a short gap between escrow and move-in is no problem. There is no requirement to commit to a month, and if the renovation or sale runs long we simply extend the hold at the same rate. Call (805) 697-6220 and we will plan around your dates.
