Summer Storage in San Diego

Summer is often the busiest time of the year for many San Diego storage companies. Some reasons for this include families, especially those with children in school, waiting until the summer to move and college students typically going home or traveling for the summer months.

So if you’re one of those San Diego residents in need of some extra space this summer, consider the following tips and suggestions:

Clothes Ð if you’ll be storing clothes within the storage unit, remember to wash and, if applicable, dry clean each item before putting into storage. The reality is that stains can and often will darken and become more visible as time passes. Folding each clothing article will certainly help to minimize wrinkles.

Winter items Ð Are you big into winter sports such as skiing? Even though San Diego isn’t exactly known for blizzard conditions, San Diego residents still enjoy easy access to ski resorts within the Southern California area. You’ll obviously have little use for your skis and other winter sports equipment during the warmer months. Consider saving some space at home by placing them into a storage rental unit as well.

Renovations Ð Homeowners often complete various home renovations, such as an addition or redoing the floors, during the summer months. Consider placing various bedroom, kitchen, living room, or other household items into a storage container or unit temporarily while the renovation is underway. The extra space will undoubtedly help to make the process much easier.

Storage for San Diego Homeowners

Foreclosures and an unstable housing market in San Diego and across the country have been at the forefront of the news for the last three years. Whether it’s due to the recession, divorce, a new baby, or some other stressful occurrence, some San Diego homeowners find themselves falling behind on their monthly mortgage payments. Instead of facing the negative impact of a foreclosure, many will look into the possibility of selling their home fast so they can pay off their bank or mortgage company.

Such a turn of events often means that many of those impacted homeowners may have to downsize their living arrangements. In doing so, they will often be faced with a shortage of space in their new residence. An ideal solution to those faced with such a situation is the rental of a San Diego storage unit. Big Box Storage of San Diego can not only provide the rental of the storage unit, but also deliver and pick it up to and from the homeowner’s address.

Your Best Option for Storage in San Diego

Whether you’re in the midst of a move or simply running out of space at home, renting a storage unit from a local San Diego storage company can be the perfect solution. However, it’s crucial not to rush into choosing the first company you come across. San Diego offers a variety of storage options, each with its unique features and benefits. Here are some important factors to consider when selecting the right storage option for your needs:

1. Safety and Security

When choosing self-storage in San Diego, understanding the security measures in place is vital. You want to ensure that your belongings are not only safe but that you also feel completely at ease with how they’re being protected. At Big Box Storage, your possessions are secure with comprehensive safety features, including video surveillance inside and outside the facilities, motion sensor alarms, perimeter alarms, and on-site staff to monitor the premises.

2. Budget-Friendly Options

3. Size Matters

Before selecting a storage unit, assess how many household items you need to store. This will help you determine the appropriate dimensions for your storage space.

This unit typically holds the contents of up to one and a half average-sized rooms, and you can rent as many “Big Boxes” as you need.

4. Location and Convenience

The location of your storage unit is essential for accessibility and convenience. Opting for a portable storage solution, such as Big Box Storage, can save you significant time and effort. Instead of transporting your belongings to a storage facility, Big Box Storage delivers the unit directly to your home or business.

Factors to Consider When Selecting a San Diego Storage Company

Whether you’re moving in San Diego and need temporary storage or whether you need a long-term solution for storing valuable overflow from your home or business, choosing a storage facility isn’t something to take lightly. It’s important that you do your research and find a safe, convenient, and secure facility that meets all of your needs.

Here are a few things to consider when choosing your storage in San Diego, CA:

  • Convenience – If you will be making regular trips back and forth it’s important to think about accessibility on weekends and evenings, and location. Additionally, consider the convenience levels provided via portable storage. With such a service, the storage unit can be delivered to your address. Once you finish loading it, the portable storage company then transports the unit back to their storage facility.
  • Insurance – Be sure to ask the storage facilities’ insurance options in case of a fire, flood or other disaster, especially if you plan to store high value items. Most companies have certain limitations that you should be aware of in advance. Additionally, if you’re a home-owner, check with your existing insurance company as it’s quite possible that your existing coverage will also cover your household goods while in storage.
  • Price – Units come in a range of prices, depending on size, length of time you rent, etc. Common sizes are often 8’x5′ to 8’x10 units.
  • Security – Look into the security at the facility. Find out what kind of after-hours security takes place so you can be sure your goods are safe. Do they offer video surveillance? What type of alarms do they have in place? Do they offer on-site staffing?

Take your time when looking for a storage company in San Diego. The overall safe-keeping of your belongings is certainly important.

Finding a storage facility in your town whether you need storage in Carlsbad, storage in Escondido, oranywhere else in San Diego County,you will find the right size that fits all your belongings. Your home will then be pared down to the necessities so that it is more presentable and your belongings will be safe and waiting for you when the home sells.
