Since the pandemic, the use of self-storage space has dramatically increased to more than 60 million square feet in the U.S. alone, according to Statista. If you're on the fence about using a local storage service, it will help to familiarize yourself with the benefits it can provide.
As the cost of rent and property skyrockets, opting for more affordable solutions is ideal as a renter. If you are without adequate space to store your belongings but aren't ready to part with them, an expert team of moving and storage professionals may be the solution. This service is also a much more affordable option than renting a larger home or apartment.
Protecting your belongings at home requires you to take out a homeowner's insurance policy of your own. If you do not currently have a homeowner's insurance policy, all of your belongings inside are at risk. If there is a fire, robbery, or theft, you run the risk of losing what you own. With proper storage solutions, your belongings are entirely insured as long as you are paying for your unit.
If you are currently residing in a location that is rife with pests, it may be best to turn to a storage service to protect your furniture and personal belongings. Most storage centers and warehouses are protected from pests and are designed to minimize and/or eliminate the risk of pests entering the facility at all.
Another possible advantage of having adequate storage for your goods and personal belongings is the ability to do so with a climate-controlled unit. Climate-controlled storage units are ideal for collectibles and other personal belongings that require extensive protection or an indoor environment. Using a climate-control unit will also ensure that your belongings do not overheat or become too cold during the hottest and coldest months of the year.
