When we found out we were moving, our first instinct was to figure out what we were going to do with all of our stuff. We weren't sure how to cope with the amount of belongings that we had, so we started looking around for a storage facility in the new city that could help. After a brief search, we were able to find a facility that really worked well for what we needed. They were fantastic to work with, and we loved being able to have a spot where we could stash things. I wanted to create a new website dedicated to setting up a new home, so you know what you are up against.
There are plenty of reasons why you might need a storage unit. You might be selling your home and moving away or renovating your existing home and need to store your furniture or other items until the work is completed. Whatever the reason, it may be a bit confusing to know which storage option works best for you.
If you have chosen to go with one or more self-storage containers, you will find there are many advantages to it that a typical static unit doesn't have. They are mobile and are dropped right at your home to fill at your own pace. Once filled, they can be moved to your new home or stored if you prefer. If you are wondering how to choose the right self-storage container for you, here are some things to think about.
The Size You Need
Depending on what you will be storing, you will have to choose the right size of self-storage containers that works best for you. They come in a variety of sizes from smaller containers made to hold only a few items such as your kitchen supplies or living room accessories to large containers capable of holding all your furniture and accessories together.
If you are moving to a new home, you might want to consider a larger container if you need to store any furniture or other larger items until you can make your move. If you are renovating you might need to clear out an entire room or your whole house to make room for the contractors. Take an inventory of what you need to store, and decide from there which size works best for you.
Will It Move Right Away To Your New Home?
You should consider whether or not you only need the self-storage containers to pack and then move your items to your new home once you have closed on it. This could be several weeks or even days so you might not need to store your items in the company's storage facility and instead will keep the container in your driveway for the duration. You can then schedule the storage company to move the container to your new home.
If you are packing and storing your items for a long time before you make the move or if you will be storing them to make room for new furniture, you can decide to store your items at the container company's storage facility. You will find that often you will receive great rates on storage and can store your items for as long as you need to.
