When your house will no longer hold all of your belongings you should consider renting a storage unit. When you rent a self storage Baltimore area unit, your possessions will be safe and they’ll be out of your way. Below are some common questions and answers about storing your belongings in a storage shed.
Will storing my antique paintings in a storage unit cause them to ruin?
It’s not advisable to store antique, valuable documents or electronics in an outside storage unit. The variations of temperature in an outside unit could possibly damage delicate items, so this may not be the best idea. To ensure that your valuables are safe, you should rent a climate controlled unit for these types of items. A climate controlled unit is located inside of a building and the temperature inside the building stays a constant temperature year round. An inside storage unit is generally more expensive than renting an outside unit, but for irreplaceable items, this is your best choice.
Will I be able to drive my truck right up to the storage unit to unload or will I have to carry my items to the unit?
Most self storage services Baltimore area companies have drive up storage units available, which means that you can drive your vehicle right up to the door of the unit to load or unload. If you rent a climate controlled unit located inside of a building, you’ll have to carry your belongings inside.
S & E Mini Storage offers various sizes of drive up and climate controlled self storage units for household and commercial use. Visit their website at Sandeministorage.com for unit sizes and monthly rates.
How will I know if all of my belongings will fit inside of a storage unit before putting them in there?
Most companies have several sizes of units available and the manager can help you decide which size of unit you’ll need. For example, a 10 x 30 foot unit will hold the contents of a three or four bedroom home, which includes large furniture, appliances and boxes. A 5 x 10 foot unit will hold the contents of one bedroom and several boxes. Don’t rent a larger unit if you’ll never use the space, because storage unit prices are based on the size of the unit.
