Climate-Controlled Storage Between Closings
Closings around here rarely line up the way the calendar says they will. You sell the Kissimmee house on a Friday, the new place at Davenport closes a week and a half later, and the household has to live somewhere reachable for ten days. Top bridges that gap. We load on sale day, hold your shipment in a hurricane-rated climate vault at the Orange Blossom Trail yard, and redeliver on the day the new keys land. One outfit. One crew. One inventory.
Why climate matters in Central Florida
A non-climate warehouse in this part of the state hits 110 degrees inside on a July afternoon. Wood warps. Veneer lifts off particle board. Lacquer cracks. Vinyl records soften. Leather mildews in the humidity. Our vaults are climate-controlled to the mid-70s with the humidity pulled out, so what comes out of storage looks like what went in.
The vaults themselves are hurricane-rated — built and tied down to the spec we keep current for the June-November season. When a named system is in the Gulf cone, your goods are not sitting in a tin-roof warehouse hoping the next gust does not lift a panel.
Inventoried in, inventoried out
Marcus runs the inventory at load-in: every carton, every piece of furniture, every odd-shaped item gets a tag and a line on the written list. At redelivery we check the same list as items come off the truck. Because the same Top crew handles the load, the hold, and the redelivery, nothing changes hands with a stranger in between.
Pieces are pad-wrapped before they go into the vault and stay that way through the hold. They are not stacked loose, not re-handled by a second crew, not pulled out and re-stacked under someone else’s load while they wait.

When your closing slips
And closings here slip. Title issues, lender extensions, a hurricane window pushing the bank’s office closed for a day. Your shipment stays sealed in the vault and Marcus reschedules the redelivery for the new key day at no extra charge. You do not lose your slot or start the booking over.
