Home>Moving, Packing and Storage FAQs

We know that self storage is more than just a place to keep your personal items.  You want your clothes, electronics, artwork, books, and furniture to be in great shape when you need them again.  You value your belongings, and so do we!  Let us put our 12 years of experience in the storage industry to work for you.  Come by our office and we will help you make your move as painless as possible by providing you with a "one-stop" moving and storage solution tailored to your needs.  Here are some general tips:

Tips For Loading Your Space

• Rent the smallest amount of space you need and pack the space until full.  But, it is always a good idea to leave a little walking space inside the unit in the event you need to retrieve something.  There are few things as irritating as having to  pull a lot of things out into the hallway to get to that one piece of paper that you need. 
• A box for everything and everything in a box, is the best protection of your goods. Use uniform sizes of boxes and stack them shoulder high to maximize your total storage space. Start with the heaviest boxes on the bottom of each stack.
• Leave a small air space between the goods stored and the storage unit walls.
• Do not place heavy or sharp objects on top of upholstered furniture. But do make use of tables, chests, dressers, entertainment centers for stacking boxes.
• Protect your mattresses, sofas, and chairs with plastic covers.
• Cover the entire load with a light plastic cover.

Space Saving Packing Tips

• Beds: Lash bed rails together with rope or plastic tape. As you take beds apart, mark all pieces so you know which goes with which headboard, etc. Place covers on mattresses to keep them clean during moving and storage.
• Books: Books get heavy in bunches. Pack them in small cartons, holding weight to under 30 pounds for easy lifting. Line all book cartons with plastic and fill empty spaces with packing paper. (Garbage bags work well as a liner).
• Bureaus: Make your bureau drawers earn their passage as extra packing boxes. Fill them with a few small and fragile items. Sweaters, blankets and towels make excellent padding.
• Cartons: Go easy on your back. Hold weight of all packing cartons under 30 pounds. With a marking pen, list contents of each carton on the side.
• Chairs: Protect all chair legs by wrapping them in packing paper. Leave slipcovers on upholstered chairs and cover them with plastic chair covers.
• Dishes: Take your time when packing dishes. Wrap each one with packing tissue and cushion them in the carton with crumpled packing paper. Keep dish pack cartons under 30 pounds for easy handling and safe riding. Be sure to mark your dishes boxes as “FRAGILE”
• Glasses: Pack glasses carefully. Wrap with tissue and pad with crumpled packing paper just like dishes. And, just as with dishes, be sure to mark the boxes as “FRAGILE”.
• Lamps: Pack lamp shades in individual boxes with plenty of paper for padding. Lamp bases ride securely in bureau drawers, freezers and washing machines. For safety, pad them well with towels and blankets.
• Appliances – A refrigerator should be completely dry and stored with door slightly ajar.  Don’t forget that you can save floor space by storing items on top of stoves, dishwashers, freezers.

WARNING: Do Not Store Combustibles such as old paint, cleaning fluids, oil, gasoline, etc. Make certain all fuel and oil is drained or burned out of gasoline/diesel powered equipment. Throw away anything that could possibly cause fire. Flammable and combustible materials are strictly prohibited and customers are responsible for clean up of any improperly or prohibited stored materials.  Do not store food or any item which could attract rodents or pests.
