As a homeowner, you might not have the attic, garage, or basement space to store boxes of holiday decorations, lawnmowers, scuba gear, and other items not used year-round. Placing seasonal belongings in an offsite storage unit will keep your possessions organized and out of the way until needed. In addition to seasonal storage, below are other instances when renting a unit comes in handy. 

How Can Homeowners Benefit From Renting Storage Units?

1. Move Without Stress

Renting a storage unit before moving could eliminate numerous issues before they arise. In the event you relocate to a smaller residence, having offsite storage will help with downsizing. You won’t have to permanently part with years’ worth of property. Instead, you can switch out furniture and other items from time to time. If the closing date on the new house is delayed, you can rest easy knowing your property is safe in storage until you can move in. 

2. Expand Living Space 

In addition to seasonal items, there could be bulky furniture, rarely worn clothing, heirlooms, old electronics, and other belongings taking up space inside the house. Putting these belongings in a storage unit will give the family more room to spread out. You’ll have more shelf and floor space in closets to get other often-used items out of the way. With all the boxes gone, you can convert the basement or attic into a home office, gym, or guest room. 

3. Prepare for Remodeling 

During a remodeling project, your home could be bustling with activity. It can be difficult for contractors, plumbers, electricians, and other service providers to navigate the space when it’s full of the family’s belongings. Putting property in storage will give technicians more room to work and eliminate the risk of damage.
