Moving Storage Units To Make Your Move Easy

by Anni Heikkinen

So, you've begin planning to move in a month or two and are already beginning to feel overwhelmed with the idea of packing things up and transporting them from one place to another. Well, you don't have to get yourself worked up – you can get through this with very little help as long as you do some planning. The most helpful tool to help you get everything done over the next couple of months is to rent a moving storage unit. Here's some tips to help you get the ball rolling.

Check for Restrictions

Before you sign a lease agreement for a moving storage unit, you must check to make sure that there aren't any restrictions that would prevent you from being able to store it on your property for the length of time that you'd need it. Some HSA guidelines prohibit the use of portable storage units or have a limit for the amount of time that you can keep it on your property.

Choose the Moving Storage Unit Service

Take some time to compare the different services in your area. Look into the cost of delivery and pick up, as well as the monthly lease rates. Then, do some research to find out if previous customers are happy with their experiences.

If you aren't moving for several months but want to get a head start on the packing, you can have a storage unit dropped off at your home, picked up and stored at one of their facilities. If this is an option that you'd need, check to make sure the company you are considering using offers the service and how much the storage fees will be.

Start Packing

Two areas of the home that typically house the things that aren't used every day are the attic and the basement. Start by unloading all of the stuff in those areas and moving it into the storage unit. Organize as you go making sure that each box/bin is labeled with either the contents or the area in the house in which it should be moved when you reach your new home.

Once the basement and attic are cleared, start with the closets and other stash spots around the house. You know what you don't typically use each day or might not have used in months. This could be the perfect time to start donating or selling the things that you don't need or use.

Talk with your local moving storage unit companies, like Acorn Self Service Storage, to being learning about the tool that will make your move less daunting for you and anyone you rope into helping you.

About Me

Storage Units Make Spring Cleaning Easier

Including my husband and I, we have a family of six, but we live in a smaller house to help stash away more money in our children's college funds. Our family does a big house spring cleaning every year, and up until a few years ago, it used to be a lot more stressful. It got a lot easier when we decided to start renting a storage unit. Now, we keep our winter clothes in the unit during the summer and vice versa, and we store items we only use occasionally. Not having so much "stuff" around the house just makes it a lot easier to keep our house clean and free of clutter. I have learned a lot about storage units since we started renting ours, so I thought I would start a blog to share my tips on to help anyone who needs them!
