Moving & Packing Tips for a Smooth Storage Experience

Step 1: Plan & Prepare

Start by deciding what you need to store. Walk through each room, make a list of furniture, and estimate the number of boxes required. Use small boxes for heavy items like books, medium boxes for fragile items, and large boxes for oversized belongings.

Step 2: Choose the Right Storage Unit Size

Not sure what size unit you need? Use our space estimator or call us for expert guidance. We’re happy to help!

Step 3: Reserve Your Unit

For furniture, antiques, and electronics, we recommend climate-controlled units to protect against temperature fluctuations. Need easy access? Drive-up climate-controlled units are perfect for larger homes, businesses, and offices. Storing bikes, tools, or seasonal items? Our standard drive-up units are a great fit. If you need to switch to a larger unit later, no problem!

Step 4: Get Your Moving Supplies

We offer everything you need for a secure move, including:

  • Boxes in various sizes
  • Tape & tape guns
  • Bubble wrap & packing paper
  • Furniture covers & mirror cartons
  • Specialty boxes for fragile items
Step 5: Smart Packing Tips
  • Pack heavy items like books in small boxes to prevent breakage and make lifting easier.
  • Use medium-sized boxes with dividers for dishes, glassware, and other breakables.
  • Protect your back—always lift with your legs, not your back!
Step 6: Packing Your Home or Business

Pack room by room for an organized move. If you're using professional movers, they’ll handle furniture wrapping and padding, but mattress covers and additional protection are always a good idea. A well-organized packing strategy makes your move faster, easier, and more cost-effective.

Step 7: Moving Day

If you’ve hired movers, they’ll efficiently load and unload your items. If you're moving yourself, we offer 14' moving trucks for smaller loads. Need a professional moving company? Call us or stop by for recommendations!

Step 8: Finalize Your Storage Rental

Once your unit is reserved, visit our office to complete your rental agreement. Bring a lock for added security, or purchase one from us. Our leasing agents are here to make your storage experience simple and stress-free.

Congratulations!

With the right preparation, your pack-move-store journey is a success! Need assistance? We’re here to help every step of the way.
