Why store it?
Sometimes you just never know what you’ll need or when you’ll need it. Remember that wonderful coffeemaker your folks had? They gave it away because you didn’t drink coffee. Now you do and you’d love to have it.
Sometimes the old things work better (or are just more elegant) than anything new. That beautiful crystal vase that your grandmother had is no longer in the family. But it had style and grace that was unmatched. And it also was your grandmother’s trademark, sitting on her dining room table for as long as you can remember.
Sometimes it’s far more practical to save something good and take care of it than to buy new every few years. Weather takes its toll on lots of things. Protect the hard-earned money you’ve invested by storing that kayak, motorcycle, bicycle, ’57 Chevy, or any number of things.
The Need for Self Storage
Our Self-Storage Solution
More and more people today are finding it hard to manage the space they rent, own or lease and are turning to A-1 Safe Storage as a solution to cluttered personal and business lives. Whether you’re looking to store just a few items, archive your business paperwork or put most of your possessions in a safe place for a few weeks, months or years, this is a cost-effective and flexible solution.
So, what is self-storage? Self storage offers both personal and business users a storage solution that they can control themselves.
Residential Considerations
Sometimes we have more than we can safely, comfortably store at home. We may need things seasonally or infrequently. We may want to protect a possession from the elements or from the “light-fingered” among us. Storage units are a great way to do this.
Are you moving? Are you building a house? Are you down-sizing your life? Are your parents down-sizing their lives?
Realtors and real estate agents regularly advise homeowners interested in selling to “un-clutter” their homes because they’ll sell better. Put these items in storage until such time as you can thoughtfully decide what to do with Aunt Harriet’s favorite hat and Uncle Ed’s rocking chair.
You might think that having a big metal box delivered to you for storage will meet your needs – and it might. But – can you get at the contents any time you want? Where will it stay? Do you really want it on your front lawn?
Commercial Considerations
Our Self-Storage Solution
Being in business for yourself is a challenge: you need all the help and support you can get. Our self-storage can help you bring your business to the next level of success!
Retail: What is your cost per square foot of the space you now rent? Are you spending more to hold your goods on premises than you should? You could expand your selling area by moving stored items to a storage unit that costs less per square foot than your retail space. By increasing your selling space, you increase your ability to sell.
Building/Construction/Service: Are you taking a lot of heat about all those business-related items stored in the garage or basement? Restore peace at home and organize your equipment and supplies in a storage unit! You’ll find what you need more quickly, allowing you to get to your job and start earning more money. You may also benefit from fewer interruptions and be able to focus on what you need to do.
Professionals/Office: Your office space costs you money. If your cost per square foot for filing space in your office is higher than a storage unit’s (and it probably is), you can expand your office space by moving your archived material out to a storage unit. You then have more space for workers and working, allowing greater return from your current office space.
24 Hour Access
Once you’ve rented a storage unit, you’ll have an easy-to-remember pin number that will allow you to access your unit 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For your convenience and security, the premises are lit from dusk until dawn. Our customers have told us they feel much more comfortable at night with our lights!
