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!

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.

We are continuing our series on the advantages of vehicle storage at a secured facility.  If you need to rent storage for a car, truck, trailer, RV, boat, jet ski or some other type of powered vehicle, Climate Masters has you covered.  Our previous article discussed how vehicle storage at a secured facility can help avoid HOA issues, save space on your property and offer added security.  Below are three more reasons to consider vehicle storage at Climate Masters.

Convenience

The RV storage / vehicle storage options at Climate Masters are extremely convenient and easy to navigate.  The extra-long spaces make it easy to back in a boat, RV or trailer. When your boat, trailer or RV storage is at your home, space can sometimes make these items difficult to access and/or navigate, especially if other vehicles or stored items are blocking them.

Reduced Wear and Tear

Large vehicles can wreak havoc on roads and driveways.  RV storage is often the preferred choice for people who want to avoid the costly problems associated with the wear and tear larger vehicles can cause.  A motorhome can weigh upwards of 30,000 pounds.  When you rent vehicle storage, the facility takes on the wear and tear.

Overall Safety

Many people choose vehicle storage in a secured space to avoid safety issues on their property. Let’s face it, boats, trailers and RVs sitting on your property are magnets for neighborhood children who may want to climb around and “explore”.

Whether you need RV storage, auto storage or some other type of vehicle storage we can help.  Our convenient facilities in Hanahan and Summerville have spaces to accommodate all types of vehicles, from car storage to RV storage and even monster trucks! Give us a call or stop by for a tour today.

We are continuing our series on the differences between carboard and plastic storage bins. Our previous article discussed some of the benefits of cardboard storage boxes.  This article will cover using plastic bins for moving and/or public storage.

Let’s examine some of the benefits of using plastic storage bins:

Durable

Plastic bins are often quite durable and less prone to damage than cardboard boxes. If something falls on them or bumps against them as they are being transported, they will better protect the contents inside.

Easily Stackable

Plastic storage bins are easy to stack, which can be very beneficial in a storage rental space. Using clear plastic bins will make it easier to see the contents, which is especially helpful when unpacking after a move or when trying to locate an item in your air controlled storage space.

Water Resistant

If the container comes into contact with a liquid, the contents are better protected in a plastic storage bin.  Cardboard soaks in liquid and can expose the contents to spills and moisture.

Able to Be Used Multiple Times

Although plastic storage bins are more expensive, they are able to be used over and over again, which makes them extremely popular for use when moving or placing items in public storage.

As you can see, both cardboard and plastic have their places in the moving and public storage arenas.  Our summary of the benefits of each are designed to help you determine which option you should use during your next move and/or when renting an air controlled storage space.

Climate Masters Indoor Storage offers affordable storage rates on air controlled storage space. We are a preferred public storage provider with locations in Summerville, Daniel Island and Hanahan. In addition to air controlled storage space, we also have auto storage rental available at our Summerville and Hanahan locations. Don’t trust just anyone with your storage rental needs.
