Review Gadsden Hwy, Birmingham, AL I rented the storage on line and it was a terrible experience, they assigned me to the wrong unit, then they could not correct it, gave me the run around, and kept me on the phone for a long time. **Review for Stephen(manager)I called the actual location and spoke with Stephen, he was at another store in Hoover. I explained my situation to him that i needed the correct storage on 6/13, he told me to meet him at the location in 30 min and that he would take care of me and he sure did! He was very kind and courteous about the mix up and make things right. Later on that evening, we placed stuff in the storage but could not use the lock provided. Stephen did his check the next morning and discovered that my unit did not have a lock on it. He placed a lock on the unit, contacted me and left the key for me to pick up. This is Exceptional Customer Service. Thank you Stephen for coming to my aid at a time when it was really need during the moving process. You are Awesome! Stephen you deserve 5 Stars and more. I'm a very satisfied customer with Stephen @the Gadsden Hwy location. ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 70 to 250 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.
