When picking one of the storage units Phoenix Az people tend to look more at price than the actual unit. There is also a cost of moving your property into the unit. If you take the time to research and plan the move it will likely save you time, money, and work.
The first thing to consider when picking out one of the storage units Phoenix Az is the size. A rule of thumb is a small one-bedroom apartment with no appliances will fit a 5′x 10′ unit. A larger one bedroom or small two bedroom apartment with no appliances will fit a 10′ x 10′ storage unit. And if you have a typical 2000 square foot home it should fit into a 10′ x 20′ storage unit. These are all just guidelines and the amount of stuff you have is going to dictate the size you will really need. Pack up as much as you can and take a visual at how many boxes you are going to have to store then add in the furniture and appliances that will have to join the boxes. You may find this is a good time to downsize your stuff a little.
The next consideration is the type of unit you will need. Traditional units Phoenix Az come in temperature controlled units and garage style units. If you choose a temperature controlled storage unit they are inside of a building and will protect your belongs from temperature changes. These types of units are usually much more labor intensive to move in and out of. You have to take your stuff off the truck onto a cart then up an elevator and then into the storage unit. If you are hiring movers to do this it could double the time it will take them to move your belongings which means more money out of your pocket. If you were to choose the garage style units it is just a matter of parking the truck next to the unit and unloading. You will have to decide which type of storage unit will best suit your needs and your budget.
Before you sign any type of contract take a walk through the facility. If you have chosen to use a garage type storage units Phoenix Az you will want to make sure the truck that is bringing in your belongings will have enough room to maneuver. Ask to see your actual unit. Check for any damage and if the unit is clean. You don’t want to arrive with your belongings and find an unpleasant surprise.
