Every few years I find myself moving into a new place and I’d like to think I have the process down pretty well by now.
I’ve tried hiring moving companies to pack and transport my things for me. I’ve done it myself after soliciting help from friends and family. I’ve even gone from renting to owning and back again. Through it all, I’ve learned that nothing can make the experience as easy as using a portable storage container before, during, and even after the move has finished. It now seems silly to me that so many people aren’t aware of this option.
It makes sense, I guess. New, better ways to do anything take at least a minute to catch on. The ten areas listed below will outline why using a portable storage container from UNITS is the most cost-effective, low-stress option you can choose when it’s time for your next move.
Moving can be stressful, unpredictable, and costly. Portable storage handles all of that. When you have a container delivered to your home, it’s in a place that makes moving convenient. You can take as many days, weeks, or even months as you like to pack your home.
If you need help moving large items, but can’t or don’t want to hire movers, portable storage makes time a non-issue. This makes scheduling help solicited from friends and family a breeze.
Sometimes a house can sit on the market for weeks or even months while the buying process runs its course. While this is not ideal, it can happen. Home staging is often a great investment and using portable storage can be a great compliment.
To stage your home, it needs to be immaculate at all times. I don’t know about you, but my life is a little messier than that. Using portable storage to handle life’s clutter while actively staging your home provides a convenient middle ground that can increase the value of your home.
Actually driving your newly packed house can be one of the most difficult parts of any move. With UNITS you don’t have to worry about it. Our professional team not only delivers portable storage wherever you need it, they drive your belongings wherever you want when you’re ready.
Our team is trained to ensure your items make it from point A to point B efficiently and easily. No matter if you are moving across the San Antonio metro area or across the country, we can help you get where you need to go.
Two years ago, my girlfriend and I were moving into a new apartment when we were suddenly informed that we would not be able to move in until almost three weeks later than our original date. This was a big deal as I was scheduled to start work the in a few days. Luckily our UNITS representative told us about the warehouse option.
They will store your container in their warehouse for as long as you need. You can even schedule a time to access your items. This was the perfect solution to an unforeseen, short-term problem. I was so pleased with the security and the staff was courteous and helpful every time I visited.
Compared to hiring a moving company to pack and move your belongings in a matter of hours, UNITS is much more cost-effective. In addition to being more flexible, renting portable storage can be hundreds of dollars cheaper.
Pretty simple. If cost is your number 1 factor, portable storage is likely to be your best bet.
Once you’re ready to move-in to your new home, a storage container can help you in many ways. A new home means time to settle in and figure out the possibilities. If you’ve hired movers for a day, this means you’ve probably ended up with a room or two or three that are completely full of your household items. At the very least, there is a lot of clutter.
Portable storage eliminates clutter by allowing you to move what you want, where you want, when you want. Life doesn’t stop and the more you can eliminate intrusions into the rest of your life the better. And it’s just so much easier to feel happy with a clean home.
On-site storage can be especially helpful if part of your new home is being renovated while you move in. Keep your belongings safe, but accessible while your home improvement project is being finished.
Contractors especially love portable storage as a means of keeping tools, materials and other equipment safe on a job site. We have many partners in case you need help finding a building contractor or restoration company, so be sure to ask our team if you’re in need of those services.
Extra space makes it easy to rearrange furniture when you’re trying to decide the layout of your new home. An on-site container means there is space to move ALL of your belongings around until you are satisfied with the layout of your new home.
This goes double for decorations! Some renters have found UNITS so convenient that they decide to keep containers year-round to accommodate holiday decor and other seasonal items.
All UNITS Moving and Portable Storage contracts are month-to-month, meaning that you are never locked-in to a long-term contract. How simple is that!?
