This question of finding the best storage places in any area is a tricky one, simply because it elicits, far too often, a subjective response. What is great for me might not be great for you, and that is most likely true of any goods or services.
That’s not going to stop us from plowing ahead with this topic, however. We are Mouser Self Storage, serving South Fort Worth, Alvarado, and Johnson County with affordable storage units for anything you need to store. Call us at 682-800-3949 for more information about current pricing and availability.
What we are about to share with you are objective facts which can be used to compare storage places in any city in the U.S.
Storage units vary very little in size.
Perhaps you have never stored items in storage units. Perhaps this is the first time for you. Let’s cut through some confusion right off the bat: storage units are very consistent when it comes to size.
The smallest is always going to be either 5’x10’ or 10’x10’. The largest is almost always going to be 10’x30’ or 20’x30. This will only matter to you if you have a four-bedroom home packed to the gills with possessions and furniture. For most people renting storage units, it is not a problem finding a unit which meets their needs, at least with regards to size.
Thus, comparing storage places by the size of their units is time poorly spent. Don’t bother.
The extra mile for storage places which means so much.
Now we are getting down to the nitty gritty of this discussion, and the most important factor to consider, at least in our opinion, is security. How safe are your possessions in a storage unit? What safety steps has the storage company taken to ensure that your possessions will be safe?
If the storage management says they have a fenced perimeter and that means secure self storage, feel free to say no thank you. A fenced perimeter in no way guarantees that your possessions are safe. So, what else do they have in the way of security measures?
Do they have experts who can help you with packing tips? Do they have industry knowledge to help you decide how to protect your possessions from extreme temperatures? Can they guide you through the renter’s insurance process? Can they make recommendations regarding all aspects of self storage?
Take a walk around and see for yourself.
And we are certain someone is reading this right now and saying “what difference does it make? It’s only or a month. What could possibly go wrong?”
How much time do you have for us to tell you what could possibly go wrong?
Theft . . . vandalism . . . damage due to flooding . . . damage due to extreme heat . . . damage due to rodents and insects . . . shall we go on?
Take a walk around the facility. If it passes the eye test, great! If not, ask more questions. It will be time well spent. We are talking about your valuables, oftentimes thousands of dollars’ worth of valuables, and that kind of investment is worth you walking around and asking questions.
