Hoarding and Self Storage

Are you a hoarder? “Yes, yes I am,” you may be thinking to yourself. Many of us are. This is fine – recognizing and admitting the problem is an important first step to a clean and clutter-free life.

Self Storage Can Help Hoarding

Many of us, however, are hoarders without knowing that we are hoarders. If your guest isn’t actually able to sleep in the guest bedroom because there is so much stuff in there. You are a hoarder. If your den is no longer a “den” because your things are stacked to the ceiling and the space is no longer functional, you are a hoarder. If you can’t reach your bikes in the back of the shed because you have those three old broken lawnmowers in the way, either you have an unhealthy obsession with lawnmowers, or you are a hoarder (or both).

Stop Denial

Still more people are in denial. “I’m not a hoarder,” you say to yourself as you stumble over that pile of old books and CDs on your way to the kitchen. Fear not, however, as our storage facilities can provide the help you need to finally clean and organize that special space in your life.

Some Stuff is OK

One of the problems with hoarding is that many hoarders will claim that they have no other space to put those belongings. The garage may already be full, there may not be any space left in the attic. The crawl space under the stairs is jammed with your old wedding and baby shower gifts. Many people may even want to address the problem. However, they cannot, simply because there is nowhere else for all their belongings to go. This is where we come in. As you go to clean that space, some things will be thrown out. This is good. Some belongings, however, for either practical or sentimental reasons, can’t be thrown out. This is also fine.

Our storage facilities are the perfect place to store those items. Before you embark on that special and therapeutic journey of “de-hoarding,” give us a call and see how we can help you today.

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.
