East Hampton sits between the Atlantic Ocean and Gardiner’s Bay. That’s not a scenic detail it’s a year-round threat to anything you’re storing. Salt air corrodes metal hardware, breaks down electronics, warps wood, and works its way into upholstery whether you notice it or not. A standard storage unit near the water doesn’t protect against that. Climate-controlled storage does.
Then there’s the temperature swing. East Hampton winters drop to the upper 20s, and a metal or concrete storage unit in August can hit well over 100 degrees inside. If you’re storing furniture, artwork, wine, or anything with a finish worth protecting, that range will cause real damage over time. The climate-controlled storage units we use maintain 55–80°F year-round with humidity regulation specifically because the coastal Hamptons environment demands it.
What this means for you in practice: your furniture comes back the way it left. Your art doesn’t buckle. Your antiques don’t smell like mildew. If you’re closing a home for the season, clearing space for summer renters, or storing belongings during a renovation on the East End, the environment here is not forgiving. The right storage setup is.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. has been serving Long Island for over 15 years and that includes East Hampton, where getting a crew out to Amagansett, Springs, or the Village isn’t the same logistical exercise as a mid-island job. Route 27 is the only road in, and summer traffic on it is its own conversation. We’ve been navigating that reality long enough to schedule around it, not apologize for it.
What makes this different from booking a self-storage unit at Extra Space on Hardscrabble Court or GoodFriend off Sag Harbor Turnpike is that we handle the whole thing. We move your belongings, store them in a secure, climate-controlled facility, and bring them back when you’re ready. You don’t have to lift, load, or coordinate anything separately.
We’re licensed, insured, and our reviews are verified through Trustindex not curated by us. Fifteen-plus years in business across Suffolk County means we’ve seen what this environment does to belongings that weren’t stored correctly, and we’ve built a process specifically to prevent it.
It starts with a straightforward conversation. You tell us what you’re storing, where it’s coming from, and when you need it done. We’ll ask the right questions specialty items, access restrictions, timing relative to your rental season or renovation schedule and give you a clear picture of what to expect before anything gets scheduled.
On the day of service, our crew comes to your home. We handle the packing, loading, and transport. If you have a grand piano in a Georgica estate, antique furniture in a Springs cottage, or a full household being cleared before summer renters arrive, we’ve handled situations like that before and we treat what’s valuable accordingly. Nothing gets thrown in a truck and figured out later.
Once your belongings are in storage, they stay in a climate-controlled, monitored facility protected from the coastal humidity and temperature swings that East Hampton’s environment produces year-round. When you’re ready to get everything back, we schedule the return and deliver it directly. Month-to-month terms mean you’re not locked in if your renovation runs long or your timeline shifts. That flexibility matters out here, where permit timelines and seasonal schedules don’t always cooperate.

The items being stored in East Hampton aren’t generic household goods. Original artwork, antiques, wine collections, luxury furniture, high-end electronics these are the things we’re regularly handling for homeowners across East Hampton Village, Wainscott, Amagansett, and the broader South Fork. The way we store them reflects that.
Climate-controlled and temperature-regulated storage is standard across everything we handle not an upgrade tier. Every unit maintains consistent temperature and humidity year-round, which is the only real defense against what the Hamptons coastal environment does to wood, fabric, metal, and electronics over time. Security monitoring is in place throughout. You’re not dropping your belongings off and hoping for the best.
We also integrate junk removal directly into the storage process when it’s needed. If you’re settling an estate in East Hampton, clearing out a property before a sale, or doing a full cleanout before a renovation, we can remove what’s not being kept and store what is in the same visit, with the same crew. That combination isn’t something most storage companies or most junk removal companies can offer on their own. We offer it together, which saves you the coordination, the scheduling, and the back-and-forth that comes with managing two separate vendors during an already complicated process. Month-to-month storage terms apply across the board no long-term commitment required.
For most items being stored in East Hampton, yes and the reason is specific to this location. East Hampton is surrounded by saltwater on multiple sides, which creates a coastal humidity environment that’s more aggressive than what you’d encounter in inland Suffolk County towns like Medford or Centereach. Salt air accelerates oxidation on metal hardware, degrades electronics, warps wood furniture, and causes mold to develop in upholstery faster than most people expect.
On top of that, East Hampton’s temperature range from the upper 20s in winter to nearly 80 degrees in summer means a standard storage unit interior can swing dramatically depending on the season. Climate-controlled storage maintains 55–80°F year-round with humidity regulation, which is the only reliable way to protect furniture, art, antiques, wine, and electronics from what this coastal environment produces over time. If you’re storing anything you’d be genuinely upset to see damaged, climate-controlled storage in East Hampton isn’t a luxury it’s the practical choice.
East Hampton’s storage market is notably more expensive than the rest of Long Island, and that’s true whether you’re renting a self-storage unit or using a full-service provider. Climate-controlled 10×10 units at self-storage facilities in East Hampton average around $497 per month significantly higher than the broader Suffolk County average. Larger units run higher from there.
Full-service storage, where we move your belongings and store them for you, carries a higher price point than self-storage but it’s a different product. You’re not renting a unit and loading it yourself. You’re paying for a trained crew to handle the move, protect specialty items correctly, and manage the entire process. For homeowners storing high-value furniture, artwork, or personal property during a renovation or seasonal transition, the cost difference between full-service and self-storage is usually far less than the cost of replacing or restoring a damaged piece. We’ll give you a clear, straightforward number before anything is scheduled.
Yes, and this is one of the most common reasons East Hampton homeowners reach out to us. The summer rental market on the South Fork is significant seasonal rental rates in East Hampton regularly run into the tens of thousands of dollars, and homeowners who participate in that market need their personal belongings out of the property before renters arrive. That’s a real logistical challenge, especially when you’re coordinating it from off the Island.
We handle the full cycle: we move your personal belongings out before the rental season starts, store them in a climate-controlled, monitored facility during the rental period, and return everything when you’re ready to come back. Month-to-month terms mean you’re not paying for more time than you actually need. If your rental season runs longer than expected or your return date shifts, you’re not locked into a contract that doesn’t flex with you. We’ve done this enough times on the East End to know how to schedule around Route 27 summer traffic and make the timeline work.
We handle grand pianos, pool tables, safes, antiques, original artwork, and oversized or high-value furniture the kinds of pieces that show up regularly in East Hampton homes and that require more than a standard move. Each item type has a specific handling process. Pianos are padded and secured so the finish doesn’t scratch and the internal components don’t shift during transport. Pool tables are broken down properly so the slate doesn’t crack. Safes are moved with equipment rated for the weight. Antiques and artwork are handled with the care their value demands.
The same crew that moves these items is the same crew that stores them. There’s no handoff to a separate facility where someone unfamiliar with the piece takes over. That continuity matters especially for irreplaceable items. If you’re managing an estate in East Hampton, storing artwork from a Springs collection, or moving a grand piano out of a property during a renovation, the process is designed to protect the item at every stage, not just during the drive.
Renovation projects in East Hampton tend to run longer than planned. The town’s permitting process is thorough, and renovation timelines on the East End frequently extend beyond initial estimates which means your belongings could be out of the home for longer than you expected when you started. Month-to-month storage terms protect you from being locked into a contract during that uncertainty.
The practical process is straightforward. Before your renovation begins, we move furniture, artwork, electronics, and personal property out of the work zone and into climate-controlled storage. This protects your belongings from construction dust, humidity changes caused by open walls, and the general disruption of an active job site. When the renovation is complete, we schedule the return and bring everything back. For high-end properties in East Hampton Village, Wainscott, or Georgica where the cost of a renovation is significant and the value of what’s inside is equally significant proper off-site storage during the project is worth doing right the first time.
Yes, and the combination is something most companies can’t offer in a single visit. Estate cleanouts in East Hampton often involve two distinct needs: clearing out items that aren’t being kept and safely storing items that are whether for distribution among family, a future estate sale, or long-term retention. Coordinating a junk removal company and a separate storage provider to do that in sequence is time-consuming and logistically complicated, especially when you’re managing an estate from off the Island.
We handle both in the same appointment with the same crew. We remove what’s not being kept responsibly, with donation and disposal handled appropriately and move what’s being retained directly into climate-controlled, monitored storage. For estate transitions in East Hampton, where the property itself may be high-value and the contents include antiques, artwork, or irreplaceable personal property, having one accountable company manage the entire process reduces the risk of items being mishandled, lost in the coordination gap, or damaged during an unnecessary extra move. One call covers it.
