As a homeowner, running out of space for your possessions is commonplace, and can often be solved by simply throwing out old items you no longer need.
But what happens when you have too many things you do want to keep, and not enough space to keep them in?
Enter self-storage units. A secure and cost-effective solution that many homeowners find they end up needing more than they may have thought!
They are Great for Seasonal Storage
As the notorious Buffalo winter gets closer to rolling in, it is important to have a plan in place to deal with your summertime possessions. The grill setup you’ve been working on, for example, has to go somewhere or else be at risk of getting damaged by the weather. The same goes for summertime tools like the lawn mower, which can go six months or more without getting any use.
Similarly, during the summer, your snow blower, plow attachment for your truck, and other bulky winter items will need a place where they can be stored until the next cold season comes around.
By renting a self-storage unit for these seasonal items, you ensure that you clear up the space they would normally take up sitting dormant, and give yourself a ton of extra room for storage!
Self-Storage Units are Perfect for Decluttering
Decluttering is great way to reevaluate what items are truly important in your life and home. Unfortunately for many would-be-declutterers, things are not always as clean cut as keeping and throwing out. There will inevitably be items of sentimental value that cannot be thrown away, but are simply taking up too much room.
In these situations, renting a unit to store the items you want out of the house is a great way to keep them out of sight, but still in your possession.
They can be a Lifesaver During Home Transitions
Ideally, buying/selling your home, relocating to a new city, or building a new house will go entirely according to plan. Unfortunately, this is often not the case. If plans for your new living situation fall through and you find yourself stuck looking for temporary housing in the interim, a self-storage unit can be a great way to keep your belongings safe until you are move-in ready.
By offering a variety of sizes, contract lengths, and amenities (including climate control), self-storage facilities make for great short-term solutions.
In many instances, new homeowners will also find themselves facing a dilemma wherein they cannot fit everything they’ve just moved into their new residence. In these situations, putting excess items into a storage unit is a great temporary solution while you decide what to do with them long-term.
Cost-Effective Extra Storage Space
One of the main reasons people end up renting self-storage units is simply because they need the extra space. Whether it be for household items or even an RV, the fact remains that homes today simply don’t have enough space to store everything you want to. Rather than spending thousands on home extensions, building a garage, or basement remodeling, homeowners are turning to the more convenient and cost-effective solution.
