Whole-home renovations are not always easy. They are usually disruptive for a while. Furniture needs to be moved, belongings collect dust, and the overall sense of order in your home can be lost. These logistical challenges can sometimes discourage homeowners from pursuing renovations altogether.
Fortunately, there is a solution to the storage problems caused by home renovations: portable storage containers. These containers provide a secure place to store your furniture, belongings, and everyday items during a renovation. By creating extra space outside your home, portable storage containers can significantly simplify the renovation process, making it less stressful and chaotic.
There are many different portable storage companies to choose from, so you’ll be able to find one that is a good fit for your renovation project. Here are some important factors to consider when making your decision.
The first thing you need to do is figure out how much stuff you need to store. Renting a container that is too large will be a waste of money, but renting one that is too small will not provide enough space for all your belongings. Many portable storage companies have online sizing tools that can help you determine the size of container that’s just right for your needs.
Portable storage containers can be made from a variety of materials, each with its own advantages. Steel containers are the most durable and weather-resistant, making them a good choice for long renovations or for storing valuable possessions. Wooden ones look nice, but they may not be the best option if you live in an area with harsh weather conditions. Plastic containers are typically the most affordable option, but they may not offer as much protection from the elements.
Think about how easy it will be to get the container delivered and placed on your property, and how easy it will be to access your belongings once it is there. You should also consider the delivery options and any placement restrictions that may apply, especially if you have a limited driveway or live on a narrow street. UNITS portable containers are perfect options here, as they are able to fit in the tightest of spaces thanks to our ROBO delivery system!
Once you have rented portable storage, there are a few things you can do to make the most of it.
Just like packing for a move, packing a portable storage container requires some planning. Disassemble furniture whenever possible to save space. Utilize vertical space by stacking lighter boxes on top of heavier ones. Clearly label all of your boxes so you can easily find what you need later. Consider using space-saving vacuum storage bags for bulky items such as pillows and comforters.
The key to a smooth unpacking experience after your renovation is to stay organized while you are packing. Create a detailed inventory of your belongings as you pack, noting the contents of each box and the room in your house that it belongs to. Using a color-coding system for the boxes based on the room they belong to can also be helpful.
By using portable storage solutions, homeowners can approach whole-home renovations with more confidence and less stress. Storage containers can help to keep your home clutter-free and organized during the renovation process, allowing you to focus on creating your dream living space.
