Packing & Storage Tips

Q. What size space will I need?
A. Your StoragePRO® consultant will suggest the appropriate size to fit your needs. However, to save you money, it is best to first inventory the items you intend to store and note any bulky or large appliances or pieces of furniture you intend to store.  To save space and money, keep the height of the storage unit in mind when determining the right size unit for your need.

  • Store sofas & couches on end.  Stack boxes on top of dressers, tables, and appliances. 
  • Disassemble odd-shaped items and large pieces of furniture.
  • Store the disassembled furniture on edge against the wall. For example, remove the legs of your dining room sets and mirrors from your bedroom sets.  Large pieces of furniture often can be disassembled into smaller sections.
Q.  How long of a lease term am I required to sign?
A.  One month.  When you rent from StoragePRO® you pay rent for one month at a time! Ask your storage counselor about discounts for prepaying your rent for one-year in advance.  Please provide us with a 7 day advance notice.  If something happens to change your plans we will accommodate your scheduled move out in any way we can.
