Read some helpful reviews of A-1 Self Storage at 556 West Main Street, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

I rented a 5x 10 unit that was supposed to be FREE for the first month yet I was charged 45 dollars. That's not free. Then I was called and told to come in to " finalize" everything. Then I had to buy a lock. What they didnt say was the storage unit was half way down the yard and NO way to get there except to walk in the heat all the way down . For a person with a bad hip walking all that way is HARD and did Jessica wait for me? Nope she walked 10 paces ahead of me. And then come to find out my storage unit was upstairs and they had no elevator for me to get up there. I can't take the stairs with a degenerate knee disease and a bad hip. Did Jessica offer a different storage unit? NOPE she just walked 10 feet in front of me back to the office and said well maybe you can go to my sister storage in LA MESA. FYI JESSICA don't ASSUME someone can get to another town!!! And get a damn golf cart at least to drive people DOWN to their storage unit!!!!!!! FYI JESSICA DID KNOW ABOUT MY DISABILITY I TOLD HER WHILE WE WERE WALKING TO THE UNIT BECAUSE SHE POINTED OUT THAT I WAS SLOW AND IT WAS A LONG WALK!!!! AND YOU NEVER OFFERED 2 MONTHS FREE!!!! AND YOU HAD A 5X10 GROUND UNIT AND A ACCESS ELEVATOR I WAS NEVER OFFERED!!!!! DISCRIMINATING ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 20 to 350 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.
