About Distant Storage | Secure, Climate Controlled Self Storage in Connecticut
We Fixed Storage Because Someone Had To
Distant Storage was built out of frustration. Our owner, Heather's frustration, to be exact. After renting one too many dark, dusty, barely functioning short-term storage rentals, she decided enough was enough. Maybe you've experienced that same frustration. Together with her husband, Paul, a proud Roxbury, CT native, and their son, Jackson, the unofficial "mayor of snack quality control," they set out to reinvent self-storage in Connecticut.
Let us set the scene.
There once was a beat-up 1963 Ford F100 pickup called Ole Red. Every year, Heather and her family would decorate Ole Red for each holiday, especially Christmas. It got the whole nine yards — lights, snow machine, speakers, and everything. When the decorations needed a home in between holidays, though, that's when things got weird.
Heather rented a self-storage unit that was so bad it sparked an idea — what if storage didn't have to be miserable, and what if they could fix it?
So, that's what they did. Distinct Storage was born out of a frustrating, dirty, truly miserable customer service experience.
A Family-Owned Storage Business in Connecticut
We aren't corporate-owned by someone who lives three states away. We're family-owned and family-operated. We even show up during the day.
Heather and Paul live literally a few minutes down the road from the storage facility and visit every single day to ensure each visit is spotless and stress-free for you. Even Jackson gets in on restocking our totally free, very convenient snack area while Paul and Heather check the temperature sensors and security. We're hands-on and always nearby if and when you need help.
Our goal was to build Distinct Storage for people like us —those with families who want secure self-storage in Connecticut.
What Makes Our Storage Facilities Unique
Most storage businesses near you are likely built by people who've never had to use one. We've used them all and found most lacked basic amenities, and none offered the exceptional experience that should come with the higher price tags. That's why our short-term storage rentals include the following amenities:
- True Climate Control: Our storage units aren't just temperature-controlled. Our facility stays at 64-76 degrees with humidity control under 50%, all monitored by sensors every 2,000 feet.
- 9-month Rate Guarantee: No teaser rates that spike a month later.
- 54+ security cameras and motion sensors in every unit--for total peace of mind!
- Free move-in truck — full tank, phone chargers, and no rental counter hassle.
- Snacks, coffee, Wi-Fi, and comfort all on us--Because moving is stressful enough!
- Spotless bathrooms — Heather is dedicated to keeping them clean. She even makes sure they're checked 4 times a day.
- 50% off your first month on most units, with a 7-day money-back guarantee.

We didn't just build a storage facility; we created a place where customers feel safe, secure, and well taken care of — maybe even spoiled!
Supporting The Community that Supports Us
Community is at the heart of everything we do. Without it, we wouldn't exist. Each year, Distinct Storage supports local food and toy drives, hosts a "Meet the Santa" holiday event with crafts and cocoa, and even uses our box truck to deliver food to Camilla's Cupboard.
We're also proud to feature small local businesses like Jamie's Sweet Shop and BD Provisions in our customer newsletter and social media, because supporting local means growing together.
