8 Reasons You Need Self Storage

Storage facilities are for much more than just moving. With short and long term options, the ability to accommodate your specific needs has never been easier.
Let North Shore Mini Storage be your number 1 choice.

Why You Need Self Storage

PRICE

While prices vary from location and available options, self storage is often the most affordable option out there. Especially in the case of business needs, the cost of a storage container versus a warehouse speaks for itself.

A SOURCE OF INCOME

The option to run your business from your unit will not only cover the costs but will provide you with a nifty source of income as well!

MOVING

Moving is the most common reason for renting a storage unit. It offers a safe, reliable, and clean space to house your items while in-between homes. Whether to or from North Vancouver, we have your storage needs covered.

CLEARING SPACE

Clearing your home is a great way to make your home clean and sharp looking. However, if you’re not a fan of throwing away old possessions, storage units are a great option to get the best of both worlds.

SEASONAL ITEMS

Whether it’s patio furniture or snowboards, there are items that simply take up space when not being used, Clear your home of these space destroyers and enjoy them when you need them.

RENOVATIONS

Much the same as moving, renovations require a lot of space and a storage unit is the most affordable, secure, and safe option for your items.

SAVING FOR YOUR FIRST HOME

Most people have to move back home to be able to afford their first mortgage, but that shouldn’t stop you from owning possessions for your future home today!

SECURITY

Leaving for lengthy holidays comes with a great deal of stress, including leaving your home unprotected for that time. Keeping your valuables locked away in a secure unit will ensure your vacation is stress-free.

This is inexpensive storage that operates 100% as advertised - they do not offer 24/7 access and do not charge 24/7 access pricing. They are incredibly responsive to requests to unlock doors and provide access. It is not fancy but if you need a clean, dry place to store your stuff, you can't beat these guys. Don't expect bells and/or whistles but you also won't be paying for them.

Have to phone to have buildings unlocked. Annoying.

Prices are 1/2 the price of other storage units but it shuts down (locked gates) from 10 am - 6 pm except if you have the enormous ground level outside facing units. Those hours are impossible. The technology getting items up to the second story is an actual forklift thats made stationary. You balance your items up the forklift (and you raise the wooden pallet up yourself) Then you must walk up stairs and hope their is a dolly available to wind precariously around tiny turning hallways. Budget carpentry and ancient carpet in the units. The trolleys sound and feel like their from 1980's and are either coached to disobey or they keep their own counsel. They say its secure but I had a neighbor pick something up and they weren't even asked for permission. I explicitly stated only I was to have access. They said they do not let it happen. The locks are your own, but the flip closure is attached by 3/4 wood screws easily and possibly quite quietly could be opened and emptied with no one batting an eye. A kid could detach it with anything. They have "24 hour security" which means a guy lives on site. Does he/she have CCTV access? Probably not, nor would you want that job. Are there motion sensors? Not likely as sometimes the lights won't turn on and finding a switch in the straggly wandering corridors is impossible. They do not offer insurance. You have to sign forms saying all the things you will and won't do, but they are not liable if anything happens: theft, fire, water, vandals, pests etcSo despite all those complaints, its still 4/5 only because of the prices.
