Tips to Maximize Your Storage Space

Storage Space

Storage rates are determined by the size of the climate controlled storage space you are renting. Often times, people rent storage space that is larger than what they truly need.  Properly organizing your indoor storage can save you significant money over the long term.  Let’s take a look at some ways you can maximize your storage space.

Pre-Plan the Layout

Pre-planning the layout of your climate controlled storage space will not only help ensure you purchase the correct size unit but will also help make your move go smooth.  Climate Masters Indoor Storage has a storage guide on our website to help you plan your storage strategy.  Taking a little bit of time now can save you big headaches in the future!

Consider Stackable Bins/Boxes

Stackable bins and boxes provide an excellent opportunity to not only organize your belongings, but they will definitely help maximize your storage space. You can purchase plastic bins and/or sturdy cardboard boxes that can be easily stacked.

Explore How Items Can Benefit One Another

You may be able to save storage space by exploring how items can benefit one another. For instance, instead of packing that bulky comforter in a box, perhaps it can be used to cover and protect a piece of furniture. There are many ways you can be creative when it comes to indoor storage.

Climate Masters Indoor Storage has been locally owned and operated since 2001. We offer both climate controlled storage space and secure vehicle storage, auto storage and RV storage. Value added benefits include pro-rata rent, 24/7 access, clean restrooms and cart and hand truck use. Before you rent storage at another facility, we invite you to take a tour of our Hanahan, Daniel Island and/or Summerville location. Come by and see us today!

Reasons to Rent Storage

Rent Storage

There are many circumstances that occur throughout our lives that cause the need to rent storage.  Let’s take a look at some of the most common reasons why people consider climate controlled storage.

Interim Move

People often rent storage when they are faced with an interim move. When your home sells but you have not yet closed on a new one, you may be faced with renting an apartment or staying with family or friends.  Climate controlled storage is an easy way to keep your belongings safe while you are waiting to move to your new home.

Downsizing

Once the kids move out of the house, you may be ready to downsize.  However, it can be challenging finding storage space for the belongings and memories you wish to keep when you move into a smaller home. Climate controlled storage offers a perfect option to keep your precious memories safe.

Off to College

Your children may be off to college, but often times, dorm and apartment living forces them into being selective about what they can take with them.  Indoor storage is an excellent way to keep their belongings safe until they have a home of their own.

Climate Masters Indoor Storage provides you with a safe and secure climate controlled storage option. We also offer vehicle storage/auto storage and RV storage.  Our storage rates are competitive and we have numerous value added benefits such as 24/7 access, locked in storage rates, pro-rata rent, cart and hand trucks and more.  Before you rent storage elsewhere, come by for a visit.  We have locations in Summerville, Hanahan and Daniel Island to serve you.

Summer Purge

If you feel your home or office is getting cluttered, you are not alone. Now is the perfect time of year to examine and inventory what you have and make some decisions on what to keep and what to toss. When dealing with items that you do not immediately need but still want to keep, storage rental is an option. Climate Masters Indoor Storage has both vehicle storage and climate controlled storage building options to help you free up space at your home or place of business. Let’s take a closer look:

Vehicle Storage
Vehicle storage, including auto storage and RV storage, can help resolve crowded garage issues and problems caused by storing a lot of vehicles on your property. Many people rent storage for extra cars, trucks, trailers, RVs, boats, jet skis, commercial vehicles, etc. We offer excellent storage rates on vehicle storage at our Hanahan and Summerville locations.

Storage Rental vs. Owning a Commercial Storage Building

Part Two

We are continuing our series outlining the advantages of storage rental vs. purchasing a commercial storage building. Our previous article covered the security and insurance advantages of storage rental. We also discussed how when you rent storage, utilities are often covered in the storage rates.  Today we will cover three more advantages of storage rental.

Upkeep and Maintenance

When you rent storage, the upkeep and maintenance is the responsibility of the storage provider.  Climate Masters Indoor Storage invests a lot of time, resources and money to ensure our climate controlled storage units and our vehicle storage/RV storage spaces are in optimal condition. When you own a commercial storage building, this added expense and responsibility falls upon you.

Scalability

When you rent storage, you can easily scale up or down to accommodate your needs.  Perhaps you need additional climate controlled storage or want to add vehicle storage space.  This is easy to accomplish when you rent storage.  However, when you own a storage building, you have what you have.  There is often little or no flexibility or scalability.

Taxes

Property taxes on a commercial storage building can be expensive, especially in municipalities such as Summerville, Charleston and Daniel Island.  When you rent storage, the property taxes are our responsibility, not yours.

As you can see, there are many reasons to consider storage rental vs. purchasing a storage building.  Climate Masters Indoor Storage has excellent storage rates on climate controlled storage units and vehicle storage / RV storage spaces. We invite you to come out and see our Daniel Island, Summerville, or Hanahan locations for yourself.  Stop by or give us a call today!

Security

Storage rental at Climate Masters Indoor Storage includes high tech security and a monitored fire alarm system designed to keep your contents safe.  If you own a storage building, you will need to purchase an alarm system, surveillance cameras, access gate and alarm monitoring services.  This can be quite costly in comparison to what you pay to rent storage.

Insuring a storage building can be quite costly.  While you may wish to purchase optional insurance for your contents when you rent storage, the expense is minimal compared to the cost of storage building insurance.

Utilities

With storage rental, electricity, air conditioning, etc. is included in the quoted storage rates. When you own a storage building, the cost of utilities can be quite expensive in comparison.

How Climate Controlled Storage Can Help You Achieve Your Downsizing Goals

climate controlled storage units

One fear that holds people back from downsizing is the fact that they have accumulated so many items over the years and don’t know how/where to store them in a downsized home.  Photo albums, CD collections, kids baseball uniforms, school awards, trophies, etc. are among the items that you don’t access on a regular basis, but still want to keep.

If you are considering downsizing, climate controlled storage units provide an excellent avenue to help you achieve your downsizing goals without having to sacrifice or get rid of items you don’t have room to store.  Let’s take a look at some of the main reasons people choose to rent storage when downsizing:

Gives You an Opportunity to Assess

One fear some have about downsizing is that they will be forced to make quick decisions about what to get rid of and/or throw away.  Storage rental gives you some breathing room and time to assess your belongings so you are not forced to make any rash decisions.

Offers an Opportunity for Family/Friends

Perhaps you have been saving that antique couch for your daughter or maybe your son has had an eye on your baseball card collection.  Climate controlled storage allows you to hold on to these items for them without having to find a place to store them in your home.  When you downsize, storage rental gives you breathing room to keep items you wish to keep until they reach their permanent new home.

Keep What You Really Want Without Cluttering Your Home

Climate controlled storage rental gives you an opportunity to hold on to memories and items without having to over stuff your closets and/or find storage space in your home.

If you are downsizing and looking for a climate controlled storage building, look no further.  Climate Masters Indoor Storage has secure storage units in a variety of sizes to fit your needs.  We have three convenient Lowcountry locations to serve you: Summerville, Hanahan and Daniel Island.  We also have excellent storage rates on vehicle storage, including RV storage, at our Summerville and Hanahan locations.

Why Should I Consider Climate Controlled Storage?

climate controlled storage units

Climate Masters Indoor Storage offers residential and commercial climate controlled storage units with three Lowcountry locations including Summerville, Daniel Island and Hanahan.  Whether you need to rent storage for a month or indefinitely, our secure climate controlled storage rental and vehicle storage options can accommodate your needs.  Best of all, we have competitive storage rates and have served thousands of satisfied customers over the years.

We are often asked about why someone should consider climate controlled storage over conventional storage units. While storage rental in a conventional, outdoor storage building is often less expensive, it does come with significant downfalls.  Climate controlled storage is recommended for individuals who wish to better safeguard and protect their belongings.

Humidity and the elements wreak havoc on contents stored in conventional outdoor storage units.  People who do not choose storage rental at a climate controlled storage facility are often faced with damages and/or loss due to humidity and the elements, especially in states such as South Carolina where heat and humidity are the norm.

What types of items should always be placed in climate controlled storage?  The answer is anything that is of value and could be damaged if subject to heat and/or humidity.  Some items include photos/photo albums, antiques, electronics, documents, books/yearbooks, collectibles, candles, wine/beer/soda collections and computers, just to name a few!

Climate Masters Indoor Storage is the Lowcountry’s choice for climate controlled storage units and vehicle storage, including RV storage.  If you are considering storage rental options, we invite you to stop by and see our clean and secure climate controlled storage units and the various options to consider.
