Why Do You Need Self Storage

1. Why You Need Self Storage Many people don’t consider self-storage options until they start running out of room in their homes and need someplace else to put their “stuff.” But there are actually a number of great reasons to consider renting space from a storage facility:

2. 1.Protect Your Valuables If you have something that is valuable and you want to protect it, but it’s too large to fit into a safe deposit box at your financial institution, a storage facility that offers a climate-controlled environment can be a great option. A good example of something that might fall into this category may be boxes of business papers that you need to hold for tax purposes, but just don’t have room for at your home or office. Colley Self Storageoffers everything from storage lockers that provide 12 square feet of storage space all the way up to 400-square-foot rooms. And they offer 24-hour access to your unit, so you’ll be able to retrieve your valuable item(s) whenever you want.

3. 2.Dormant Dormitory Furniture Instead of moving your kids’ (or your) belongings home every summer between the spring and fall semesters, renting a storage space near the school is a far more convenient and affordable option. When moving your items back and forth, you don’t have to travel great distances with a packed vehicle or trailer, and you won’t have to clutter up your home for three months each year trying to find places to put everything.

4. 3.Remodeling Projects Breathing new life into your home is exciting, but it can also be messy. And sometimes accidents happen when crews are lugging in materials or power tools. You can make room for remodeling projects and safeguard your furniture from dust and dents by temporarily putting it in storage. This is also a great option if you are moving and you need to get out of your current home before your new home is ready for you. Simply secure everything away and retrieve it when you have the green light to move in.

5. 4.Charity Drives If you’re involved with a charity, or you are organizing a fund raising drive of some kind, and you need a place to temporarily stash donations, a storage unit provides a practical solution. It provides a great space for storage and organizing donations without cluttering upyour home. And, in many cases, the cost of the storage unit can be written off as a charitable donation if the expense is coming directly out of your own pocket (check with your accountant for details).

6. Just remember that when using a storage facility, you need to provide your own insurance to cover any valuable items stored. This is a small price to pay for the peace of mind you’ll enjoy knowing that you’re covered in the event of a fire or natural disaster. There are some restrictions to some of the items that an insurance company will cover, so be sure to get the facts before you rent your space.

7. Summary: You don’t need to worry about long-term commitments when it comes to self-storage options. Many self-storage facilities offer monthly contracts with no minimum, so if you need extra space for three months when your college students come home for the summer, or just a couple of months while your home is undergoing a remodeling project, self-storage units provide an efficient and cost-effective way to manage the extra load. Or if you need a longer term for safely storing boxes of paper you’ll need for your business’ taxes, self storage has you covered. Look for a facility that provides 24-hour access so you’ll be able to retrieve whatever you want, whenever you want.
