It's no secret: Moving can be a stressful process, one often made a little easier thanks to the right storage facility. That’s because many storage facilities also offer moving supplies and services along with a secure space for storing your belongings before, during, and after a move.

The storage specialists at A-1 Williams Mini Storage in Cookeville, TN, encourage anyone moving to consider these benefits of using a storage facility.

3 Reasons a Storage Facility Will Be Useful During Your Move

1. Gain More Time

Many tenants use their storage units to house their belongings between homes, especially if they feel pressured to be out by a specific date and time. Renting a storage unit a few weeks before your move allows you to move your belongings periodically rather than all at once. It can also gain you a few extra days between cleaning your old home and preparing your new one.

2. Downsize With Ease

If you’re moving from a larger place to smaller accommodations, a storage facility will help you downsize without having to toss some of your prized belongings. A storage unit offers the chance to sort through your belongings over time to donate, sell, or trash any belongings you choose not to keep. Storage units are available on both a short-term or long-term basis.

3. Benefit From Moving Services

Many storage facilities also sell packing supplies at competitive rates, while some even offer moving truck rentals. Call and ask if the storage facility you’re considering provides any moving services, and compare those rates with professional movers. You’re likely to find storage facilities are more affordable in the long term.

Of course, storage facilities also provide a safe and secure place to keep your belongings after your move is complete. A-1 Williams Mini Storage can help Putnam county, TN, residents choose a storage unit with 24/7 access. Call (931) 267-1707 or visit them online to learn more about their facility.
