Making major renovations to your home is enough of a hassle without worrying about damage to belongings. Placing items in a self-storage facility before work starts spares you the headache and preserves one-of-a-kind items. Here’s a guide on what you might want to store and how to do so.

Prevent Harm to Possessions

Even under the best circumstances, home improvement is unpredictable. While workers usually take steps to safeguard items or move them out of the way, this doesn’t guarantee they’re completely sheltered. If you’re going the DIY route, there may be a greater risk of mishaps.

For example, a painting mishap can easily destroy upholstered furniture, especially antique or heirloom pieces. Dust and vibrations from drilling and sawing can also wreak havoc on delicate items, and there’s always a risk of human error causing irreparable damage. To prevent disaster, remove anything of high monetary or personal value from the house before renovating.

How Self-Storage Helps

You can also wrap bigger items, like furniture, in plastic or soft cloths and store them in a unit until work is complete. If you’re renovating a bedroom, consider transferring clothing from your closet to a storage facility while renovations are ongoing.

When in search of a unit, find one that meets your spatial needs. Ensure there’s ample room for your belongings, but don’t pay for more storage than you need. Also, rent a unit offers the right environment. Paper products, fabrics, musical instruments, and wooden furniture should be kept away from excess heat, cold, and moisture to ensure they remain intact.
