Smart Storage Ideas When Remodeling or Renovating

When renovating or remodeling your home it is important to make sure all of your belongings are safe from damage and stored securely. Renovating can be a stressful time - especially when you are preparing to sell your home in a tough market, expanding for a family member, or hoping to increase the value of your house. You certainly don't need any additional concerns about moving your furniture and important possessions and that's where portable storage comes in.



UNITS Portable Storage offers an easy way to store your treasured items quickly and efficiently. A container can be dropped off at your home and remain there for as long as the renovation process takes. Constructed of galvanized steel and reinforced fiberglass, these portable storage containers are designed to be U/V, mold and water resistant.


If you don't want the container to stay on your property there are other options as well. For instance, if you would prefer, the storage unit can be moved to a temporary place of residency or stored in the secure, temperature-controlled (A/C and heat) UNITS Portable Storage warehouse.


Some of the items you might think about storing in a mobile container to ensure they do not get damaged include:


-Bedroom furniture or mattresses: Plastic covers are available to protect your mattresses while being stored in the container.


-Couches, chairs, or anything with upholstery: Furniture with fabric can be easily damaged by debris, paint or other items, if left in the house.


-Heavy items such as entertainment centers and appliances: These need to be moved out of the way so they don't impede work flow.


-Small valuables like decorations, knick-knacks, and pictures: Inside the container there is an E-track system, which allows you to safely secure your belongings to the side walls. This is especially necessary if you decide to move the container.


In conclusion, remember to keep UNITS Portable Storage in mind when preparing for a remodel or renovation to your home. Choosing portable storage over a storage facility can prove to be a lot easier on your wallet and your busy schedule.
