I've rented a unit from this company for four years. I paid for the extra insurance that they insisted I get and when my unit was broken into the insurance wasn't worth the money I spent. When I was notified I couldn't tell what was missing. Once I was ready to move my things I realized that my microwave was gone. I spoke with the owner and he told me there was nothing that could be done because of the time. I don't understand that when I paid for insurance. What was the purpose. I have given this company almost $5000.00 and this is the thanks I get for my business. I asked how that was possible and all I got from the owner was well the time that it's been I don't think I can do anything. I felt this was bull. I could've lied when I first went by there and claimed all types of items but I was honest and told him I can't tell because it was packed from front to back but when I realized what was missing I let him know and again was told there was nothing that could be done. I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone. ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 25 to 400 square feet. Space is not an issue! If you have more belongings to store, or simply bulkier items or even vehicles, you should go for larger storage units.

You already know how much stuff you need to put in self storage, so figuring out the unit size you need is the next step. Smaller units such as 5'x5' or 5'x10' spaces can usually be filled with the amount of items you would normally store in a closet: a few chairs and lamps, sports equipment, garden tools and some boxes.

Moving on to larger sizes, imagine the 10'x10' and 10'x15' units as similar to a bedroom or a living room – larger pieces of furniture, sturdier equipment and bicycles can fit here. Finally, a 10'x20' unit has enough space for the contents of a 3-bedroom house, while the larger 10'x30' space easily accommodates the contents of a loaded semi-truck.

Accessibility and quickness are key when it comes to storage, so drive-up storage units are generally regarded as very convenient. Pull your car right up to your storage space, load, unload, and you're good to go! However, if you're mostly storing temperature-sensitive items, you should rather consider indoor storage units.

Climate-controlled units maintain consistent temperatures and humidity levels all year round, making them perfect for all your sensitive items. Moisture and varying temperatures can damage a whole host of things, and that is why a lot of people choose to use climate-controlled units to store items like wooden furniture, electronics, artwork, documents and photographs, collectibles, antiques, etc. If the belongings you're storing are important to you, you should consider renting a climate-controlled unit.
