Chris was a great help throughout my time here. He really works with you to get the best unit for your needs and best price for it. He also is very transparent about the necessities such as insurance and prorates. Chris even assisted my move out process since I was alone to move out a 10' by 15' unit. I appreciate all of his help. I'm glad to have chosen this storage facility over others just because he made the experience so pleasant. Thanks Chris! ... Read more

5 Stars – Exceptional Service from Chris! I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had to take a moment to shout out Chris at this storage facility. From the moment I walked in, he was friendly, professional, and incredibly thorough. He took the time to walk me through all of my options, answer every single question I had (and I had a lot), and made sure I understood everything clearly. Chris has a great personality—super easy to talk to, and you can tell he genuinely cares about helping people find the best solution for their storage needs. He didn't try to upsell or rush the process; instead, he made the entire experience feel stress-free and smooth. The unit itself was clean, well-maintained, and secure, but honestly, it was Chris’s customer service that sealed the deal for me. He went above and beyond, and it's rare to find someone who takes that kind of pride in their work these days. Highly recommend this facility—and if you get a chance to work with Chris, know that you're in excellent hands. ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 25 to 300 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.
