Storage That Understands Hurricane Season
Families down toward Larose, Cut Off, and Golden Meadow know June through November means watching the Gulf, not just the calendar. We’ve built our short-term storage around that reality: climate-considered units up in Houma, sited away from the lowest-lying stretches of the bayou, and a scheduling team that won’t leave your furniture sitting on a truck in a parking lot during a storm watch.
Common Reasons Folks Use It
- A closing date that slips two or three weeks past your move-out
- Evacuating ahead of a storm with the move still mid-transition
- A gap between a rig rotation ending and a new lease starting
- Downsizing before the final house sale clears title
- Renovation work that pushes move-in back after a move-out is already scheduled
Renee Melancon tracks every unit against the parish’s own storm timeline, so if a system starts spinning in the Gulf, we’re already moving your things to higher ground before an evacuation order ever gets called for Terrebonne Parish. Rates are locked at the day you sign — no surprise increase mid-hurricane-season just because demand for units spikes in August.
It’s also a common bridge for real estate timing — a Houma closing that lands two weeks after a Golden Meadow move-out, or a new build near Cut Off that’s still waiting on a certificate of occupancy. Jerome Batiste keeps the paperwork simple: one storage agreement, a clear pickup date, and coverage documented up front instead of buried in fine print — no rolling auto-renewal clause hidden in the contract.
What's Covered
- Storage sited above Houma's lowest-lying, flood-prone stretches
- Rate locked at signing — no mid-hurricane-season price jump
- Priority relocation to secure storage ahead of a named storm
- Flexible move-out timed to your actual closing date, not a guess
- Renee tracks every unit against the parish's storm timeline
- Month-to-month terms with no penalty for an early pickup
Our Services
A one-room load in Bayou Cane and a full house headed out to Atlanta both start with the same nine-service lineup and the same crew roster — nothing gets handed off partway through.
Our Range Of Services IncludesLocal Houma Moves
Gray gets the same crew as Bayou Blue -- load it, drive it, set it down, done inside a day regardless of which end of the parish you're on.
Learn More →Long-Distance & Interstate Moves
Six lanes cover most of what leaves the state from here: Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Jackson, Mobile, Memphis. Whoever wraps it at the yard rides along and carries it in at the other end.
Learn More →Residential Moves
A Schriever starter home and a bigger Bourg house get the exact same care -- nothing gets set down until you say where it goes.
Learn More →Apartment & Multi-Family Moves
Elevators booked, move-in windows confirmed -- our crews have worked enough Thibodaux and Raceland complexes to know the routine before we ever knock.
Learn More →Full-Service Packing
Glassware, mirrors, electronics -- everything gets wrapped against the humidity before it's boxed, whether that's one room in Chauvin or a whole house in Dulac.
Learn More →Short-Term Storage
Waiting out a closing date in Cut Off or riding out hurricane season before Golden Meadow's ready -- either way, the storage stays dry until you need it back.
Learn More →Piano Moving
Raised camp in Montegut, slab house in Gibson, doesn't matter -- moving an upright or a baby grand across the bayou just takes the right straps and a crew that's done it before.
Learn More →Labor-Only Load/Unload Help
Got the truck already for a Larose or Bayou Cane move? We'll send the muscle to load or unload it on your schedule -- you keep the wheel.
Learn More →Senior & Retirement Moves
A Thibodaux or Raceland downsize doesn't get rushed here -- we go room by room, at whatever pace actually works for the household.
Learn More →What To Expect
A Houma move breaks down into four stages, start to finish — here is what each one looks like.
Kim Walks The Job With You
Most of it happens over the phone — stairs, a stilt-house landing, storm-season flexibility, whatever's actually in the house — before she puts a number to it.
Jerome Locks In The Paperwork
Coverage, certificate of insurance if a leasing office needs one, and the final number all get confirmed before the crew is dispatched, not worked out after the fact.
Wade Or Dominic Runs The Crew
Whichever one is on your job, furniture gets wrapped before anything is carried through a doorway, stairwell, or stilt-house ramp.
Setup, Not Just A Drop-Off
Beds get reassembled, boxes land in the room they're labeled for, and the crew takes the packing debris with them on the way out.
Why Houma Keeps Booking Us
Same Crew Chiefs, Year After Year
Wade has run the long-distance side since 2014 and Dominic has led local jobs since 2017 — ask either one about a route or a neighborhood and they'll know it firsthand, not from a training binder.
Stilt Houses And Storm Season Are Normal Here
A piano down a raised staircase, a closing date that slips because of a storm watch, a driveway that floods after a hard rain — none of that throws off the schedule, because it's what most weeks look like in Terrebonne Parish.
One Crew, Start To Finish
Wade's crew loads the truck on Barrow Street and is still the one unloading it whether the drop-off is a short hop to Mobile or the two-day haul up to Atlanta.

What Our Clients Say
“Had my own truck already lined up for a Cut Off move and just needed hands to fill it. Two guys showed up, loaded it better than I expected, and were done in under two hours — running about twenty minutes behind schedule was the only hiccup.”
“Moved us from Bayou Cane to Houston for my husband's new job. Blaine called before pickup and again before delivery so we knew where the truck was the whole way.”
“Our Golden Meadow move went smoother than I expected for a four-bedroom house. Dominic's crew wrapped every piece of furniture and had us unpacked before dark.”
Questions We Get Most
Bayou Moving answers these on nearly every call from Houma, LA.
What happens to our stored items if a storm is coming?
We relocate stored loads to secure inland space ahead of a named storm — it's built into how we site our units.
Is there a minimum storage term?
No — we do month-to-month, and you're not penalized for picking up early once your closing date firms up.
Will the rate go up if we store through peak hurricane season?
No, your rate locks in at signing regardless of what the season does.
