Storing Furniture While You Renovate

Have you finally made the decision to do the renovations you’ve been putting off for so long? Updating the kitchen? A new living room? Electing to store your furniture at North Shore Mini Storage while you remodel can make your renovations go a lot smoother. Here are three advantages to short term storage.

Furniture Storage When You Renovate

Anyone who’s done a renovation knows how messy they can be. Simply covering your couches and furniture with a large canvas drop cloth is not guaranteed to protect them from the paint and drywall dust that can ruin their appearance. Storing those pieces will also help keep your home organized and clean.

You Need Space

There is also the problem of space. If you live in an apartment, for example, putting your things into storage can take away a lot of the headaches associated with renovating. Whatever is part of the renovated space inevitably has to be moved to another part of your home. Having to step over and around your things throughout the remodel can dramatically increase both the time and frustration associated with completing such a project.

Choose Storage

Storing your furniture will also allow you carry on with your daily life much more easily. For people remodelling ahead of a home sale, the property can still be easily shown without the excess clutter and furniture spilling over into other rooms. Entertaining family and friends can also take place with relatively little hassle. Be sure to store your furniture at North Shore Mini Storage before you undertake any major renovations! We have large and small storage units available!

Spring 2021 is here and now is the perfect time to renovate. You may not be able to travel far, but this give you time to work on your home! Renovating can be scary! North Shore Mini Storage is here to help!

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.
