How to Choose the Right Storage Unit
Sometimes
it's just not possible to line up your move in such a way that your
belongings have a new house to go to when you need to move. Luckily
there are easy and affordable options available for when your household
items need a place to stay during relocation.
Choosing the right size can be the first headache. Many storage unit companies have size guides on their websites. Take measures to ensure you don’t underestimate the space you need.
- Use a space calculator available on many storage company sites.
- Measure your larger pieces of furniture.
- Count your boxes.
Humidity and temperature control are also very important factors. Low lying warm climates generally have these features available. Check out the unit before you sign the paperwork, and look for mold, mildew smells and get a feel for what the temperature is like. Never trust your household items to a place with mold and mildew. Also ask the manager of the storage facility if they have ever encountered issues with flooding in the past if you are in a coastal area prone to summer storms.
