Are you thinking about taking advantage of a self-storage facility? If you are, you are not alone. Self Storage is in high demand-all over the country. Before jumping in however there are a few things to consider.
Before renting storage unit, determine how much space you will need. Take note of your possessions and donate items that you no longer use or simply toss those that are expired or no longer usable. From there you can estimate the space you will need. If given the option of a smaller unit versus a larger one, think about how often you will be needing access to the items stored. If you will be needing in the unit often, you may want the extra space to be able to move items around without the fear of breaking something important or feeling cramped while organizing your things.
Speaking of organizing, while packing up your belongings, put thought into how you are placing your items. Make sure all boxes are correctly marked. Use quality boxes or totes with lids. List on the front of the box which room it was taken so that you will be able to find items more easily once needed.
Perhaps there are special circumstances for your storage. Are you part of a business which is required to keep records for a certain amount of time? You may want a climate control storage unit. Our climate control units have a light in the unit and are within a building making it easier to look through boxes and will keep you out of the elements so that you can organize with ease. Or maybe you are a small business in the process of growing into a much larger company? You can keep some of your inventory with us until you are able to expand.
Maybe you are downsizing to a smaller home. You don't have to sell your family heirlooms. Add a reasonable monthly fee to your budget and rent a storage space for your treasured belongings.
If you are planning to add on to your home and don't want your belongings to be in the way of the construction taking place, store items with us until all the work is complete. That way you will not risk damage to important items.
Maybe you are in the military and have just received an overseas assignment. Renting a storage space from us will ease your mind so that you can complete your assignment and return knowing that your items were in a safe and secure environment.
