Renovating a home is a significant undertaking that requires careful planning and execution. Self-storage units can be helpful during major home renovation projects. However, it is common for individuals to overlook how these units can help them.

Protect Your Belongings During Renovations 

During a renovation, protecting your furniture and personal belongings from damage is essential. Dust and debris can easily accumulate during the renovation process, potentially causing damage to your items. Using a self storage unit to store your furniture and personal belongings during your renovation project also frees up space in your home. By renting a self storage unit, you can have peace of mind knowing that your items are safe and secure. With a climate-controlled storage unit, you can ensure that your belongings are protected from environmental damage.

Store Your Renovation Materials And Equipment

Storing building materials and equipment during a renovation project can be challenging. Cluttering up your home with equipment and materials can be frustrating, making the renovation even more difficult. Renting a self storage unit can provide a separate space to store your building materials and equipment. If this is your goal for the project, you will have to keep the materials and equipment organized in the unit. Otherwise, retrieving the items you need could become very difficult.

Create A Renovation Workspace

Renovations can be messy, noisy, and disruptive, making finding a practical workspace difficult. Using a self-storage unit as a workspace provides an area to work on your renovation projects. An example could be partially preparing materials for installation at the storage unit before transporting them back to the project site. You should check with the self storage facility's management as to whether this is allowed. However, many facilities will allow this as long as it does not disrupt other clients.

Protect Your Renovation Supplies

Protecting your renovation supplies is essential to ensuring the success of your project. Unfortunately, thieves can be drawn to properties undergoing major renovations. These facilities often have compromised security systems, making them easier to target. In addition to the valuable possessions that may have been left in the house during the renovation, these criminals may also target the supplies for the renovation. Due to these security risks, self storage facilities can offer a safe option for keeping these items safe throughout the renovation process. If you plan to store personal items and renovation supplies in these units, it may be best to rent two units. This allows you to keep these items separate from each other.
