A nice lady came by and said she wants a big unit for her parents.  I showed her around and finally she reserved what she thought was enough size for her parents belongings.  The next day her parents came by to check on the unit. I showed her parents the unit and her dad disagreed on the size.  I thought it was big enough by what her daughter told me they had.  Her dad said, this is too small for 51 years of being married to the same person. His wife added, yes it is.  I want to have two additional units. After 51 years being married to this guy and having my own separate room, I also want my own separate storage unit. I answered no problem and ended up renting three units. One for the husband, one for the wife and one for the items that they want to get rid of and also scheduled two truck moves.

Just another day in Long Beach…. A tenant decided at 5:40pm that they wanted to move out today.  Art was helping out and he made sure the customer cleaned out the unit and at the last minute on the trunk of their car had them signing the termination agreement!  We’re not sure if the boxes that were just sitting on the roof of the car ever made to their house but we were glad to help out and make their departure “as easy as it should be”.

Do you find that you have a lot of stuff in your house or office that you need to keep, but don’t require access to on a daily basis? If so, it may be time to consider renting a self-storage unit. Doing so, you’ll clear up extra room in your house without having to sacrifice your belongings. When you’re looking for a storage unit, you’ll need to determine how much space you need. Make a list of the items you’re going to store and start to think about how you can organize them for efficient use of space. Typically, one room’s worth of furniture, accessories, and clothing can be stored in a unit that measures 4’x6’x8’. If you are storing an entire apartment, house, or office worth of belongings, you’ll need a larger space.

One of the tenants asked if he was insured and we assured him that he was insured. At the time of signing his contract, he wisely opted for the Self Storage Insurance we offered.

When you rent a storage unit , the possibilities are endless. It can be a home for your holiday decorations or a place to store all of the things that won’t fit in your apartment, home or office and is often items you can’t stand to part with. In fact, the hardest part about having a self-storage unit can be deciding exactly what to put in it. Here are some guidelines to help. 

Don’t Store What You Won’t Use

The biggest mistake you can make with a self-storage unit is turning it into a junk room. Don’t use your storage unit as a place to stash things you’re never going to use again. As you start picking out items to put into storage, ask yourself when the last time you used each item was. If you haven’t used it in the last five or six months, and it isn’t a seasonal item or heirloom, it probably doesn’t belong in your storage unit. Instead, save that space for items that have a purpose in your life.

Do Store Seasonal Items

Do you love to give your home seasonal updates? If so, you likely have several items that only get used for a specific period of time before they are packed away again. A POUCH Self-Storage unit is the perfect location for all of your seasonal decorations. It gives you the room you need to keep things organized without taking up valuable space in your home. Storage units are also ideal for storing baby items if you think your family will grow again in the future or maybe you want your grandchildren to enjoy them.

Do Store Sentimental Items

Sometimes, your current living situation doesn’t mix well with your grandmother’s favorite china. Maybe you have young children or roommates that could jeopardize sentimental items. Instead of giving away important things that don’t mesh with your living situation, store them with POUCH Self Storage, where they will be safe and sound until you’re ready to use them again.
