Would you know what to keep, what to recycle, what to donate? Do you have the time that it takes to do a thorough job?

The first and foremost tip is to not place anything into storage, if at all possible!

Tip number two... If you must place something into storage do it only for a short term of less than a few months. I cannot tell you how many of our clients have had items in a storage unit for several years or longer. Some of them have paid thousands of dollars in rental fees without realizing that the items in the storage unit are worth less than several hundred dollars.

Tip number three... If you must place items in a storage unit decide whether you need outdoor storage or indoor storage which is climate controlled. A good rule to follow is if you plan to store items that you would normally store in your garage then you can get away with outdoor storage. However if you are planning on storing items that you would normally use inside your home then we would strongly recommend climate controlled indoor storage.

We have seen beautiful living room and bedroom furniture, which have been stored in outdoor storage units for only a few months, ruined from the natural elements of rodents, insects, humidity, heat, cold, etc.

We have also seen plastic patio furniture, garden tools, lawn mowers stored in the more costly climate controlled indoor storage.

Finally, if you currently are paying for a storage unit and are planning to empty it out expect to pay more in cold snowy weather than in warm sunny weather. We have warm weather rates and cold weather rates.
