The Roots of DP Moving & Storage
DP Moving & Storage is more than just a logistics company—it’s the culmination of determination, innovation, and family legacy. The story begins with Nicholas Blake, a visionary entrepreneur who grew up immersed in the furniture and logistics industry.
From a young age, Nicholas was inspired by his parents, Eddie and Deanna Blake, who instilled in him the values of hard work and excellence. The Blake family had a reputation for being resourceful and resilient, traits that carried them through challenging times and laid the groundwork for their future success.
A Family’s Journey
The Blake family’s journey into the world of logistics started in 2009 when they launched Domestic Possessions, a furniture and design store. Originally a small consignment shop created to help the family navigate the economic downturn following the 2008 housing crash, Domestic Possessions quickly grew into a prominent name in the industry. With Eddie’s expertise in building and logistics and Deanna’s flair for design and product selection, the family transformed their small shop into a thriving business.
Nicholas, the oldest of four siblings, grew up learning the intricacies of furniture, design, and logistics. By the time he was 20, Nicholas was already considered a professional in the industry, gaining deep knowledge of manufacturing, deliveries, and customer service from his parents.
The Birth of DP Moving & Storage
As Domestic Possessions flourished, Nicholas recognized a significant gap in the market for high-quality, dependable receiving, inspection, and delivery services. Many companies relied on third-party providers, leading to inconsistent service, damaged goods, and dissatisfied clients. Nicholas knew there had to be a better way.
In 2014, Nicholas proposed an idea: create a specialized moving and storage company that would handle every detail of logistics with the same care and precision the family applied to their furniture business. His vision was to serve not only Domestic Possessions’ clients but also interior designers, contractors, and builders who needed reliable logistics support.
With his parents’ encouragement, Nicholas launched DP Moving & Storage, a sister company to Domestic Possessions. The company’s mission was simple but ambitious: to provide seamless, white-glove logistics services that professionals could trust.
A Vision Built on Excellence
From the beginning, DP Moving & Storage set itself apart by adhering to the Blake family’s philosophy: Competence is key. Unlike competitors, the company did not outsource its deliveries. Every team member was handpicked and trained to uphold the company’s high standards.
The company invested in state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, ensuring secure storage and meticulous handling of goods. They introduced a rigorous inspection process to identify damages before delivery, giving clients peace of mind. By offering services tailored to the needs of trade professionals, DP Moving & Storage became the go-to solution for projects requiring exceptional care and reliability.
Expanding Horizons
Under Nicholas’s leadership, DP Moving & Storage grew rapidly. Initially serving local clients in Martin, St. Lucie, and Palm Beach Counties, the company expanded its reach to deliver nationwide across the lower 48 states. Today, the company plays a pivotal role in major design projects, from single-room makeovers to large-scale developments, partnering with top-tier designers, builders, and contractors.
The company’s reputation for excellence has made it a trusted partner for professionals who value efficiency, reliability, and attention to detail. Nicholas’s innovative approach and deep industry knowledge continue to drive the company’s success, ensuring every client receives unmatched service.
A Legacy of Family and Innovation
DP Moving & Storage is more than a business—it’s a testament to the Blake family’s resilience, creativity, and commitment to quality. Nicholas Blake’s vision and leadership have turned the company into a logistics powerhouse, while the family’s unwavering dedication to excellence ensures that their clients always come first.
For Nicholas and the Blake family, DP Moving & Storage isn’t just about moving items—it’s about moving forward, delivering excellence, and building lasting relationships with clients across the nation.
