make sure all of your belongings are RODENT PROOF! i was on the basement floor and came in to one of my mattress toppers destroyed by mice. the insurance they provide did not cover it. thankfully, the kind employee was able to get me a different unit (hence the 2 stars). if i had been able to move all my stuff into another company, i would have. ...

Love the staff here, but the hours on google need to be updated. I would love it if they also included their break hours. I have a small storage unit that can only be accessed through the lobby. I’ve end up lugging stuff back and forth from my apartment three times to be met with “will be back” at various different times. For reference to others, as per their website and door, they are closed Mondays and Sundays, and are open Tuesday-Saturday from 10AM-5PM, not including breaks for the staff. On top of that, expect semi-annual rent raises. They keep it pretty reasonable and still remain the cheapest in the area. ... Read more

Mice infestation! They have issues with mice since last summer. My unit got destroyed by rodents! Over $2k in damage! The owner claims the issue is being taken care of but the mice never went away as every month I return to my unit and discover new damage! The contract you sign when renting the unit mentions no responsibility of the owner for any damage including damage done by rodents so you will be left on your own to deal with your loss. They offered $10 discount for the next 6 months for me and also went Mia when needed to confirm the transaction. Be mindful of this went renting from them! ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

Storage units available at Self Storage 1 - 3839 Sheffield Avenue include the following amenities: Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Truck Rentals, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted, Multi-Level Storage and Online Payment. Depending on what you need to put away in storage, you can discover there are some things you absolutely need, so make sure you check with the facility manager that you'll find everything you need on site.

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 16 to 200 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.

Monthly prices for units offered by Self Storage 1 - 3839 Sheffield Avenue start from $24 and can go up to $195 for larger spaces.

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.
