In Need of the Best Mini Storage Facility?



Storage units are available in a wide range of sizes. To determine the best size storage unit for you, take an inventory of all the items you plan to store. Making a list is often useful, since you're less likely to forget items which require more space. Also, think about your future needs. If you do not have much to store, a mini storage is the best option for your items.

When it comes time to look for a self-storage facility, there are several things to take into consideration. If you are planning to store your items, they must be valuable to you, and you want them to be safe and secure at all times! Be sure to make your decision on the entire storage experience, not on price alone.

·         Know what you need. Once you have packed everything, separate what will be stored short term and identified those items that will be stored for a longer period of time; you need to decide, “How much storage space do I need?” You will find that storage units come in a variety of sizes. The goal is to avoid choosing a mini storage that is not too small and too large for your needs.

·         Tour the facility. A mini storage is much easier to maintain; thus, it is your job to see whether the mini storage looks well fit.  A mini storage facility that takes pride in its appearance and keeps everything in good repair and working order is the ideal choice. A facility like this will have better customer service and cares about each and every tenant.

·         Adequate security. Even mini storages must provide adequate security for items that are stored there. Look for mini storage units that have security measures in place such as motion detector lights and alarms, solid fencing, guards and surveillance systems including CCTV cameras.

·         Know the staff. Does the manager stand up and greet you as you walk into the office? A friendly property manager is key to having a great mini storage experience. You want someone who listens to you, treats you as the most important person to them at that moment and has knowledge about the property and the industry. If you have a question, you want to be sure he or she can answer it, and answer it correctly.

Finally, determining the right size of mini storage unit for your needs will prove to be your best value. Before making a final decision, visit the facility and ask to see a unit which is the same size as the one you plan to rent. Viewing the space may be easier than trying to picture it in your head.
