10 Signs That The Time Has Come To Invest In A Self-Storage Unit

With our busy lives and the ever-increasing pace of life, your house can quickly become overcrowded, and it is all too easy to hide your head in your hands and ignore the harsh reality that you have a problem.

This article is written with many years of experience within the self-storage industry and is a list of ten of the most common signs or reasons why people need to invest in a self-storage unit. The vast majority of the customers at MCR Storage tell us their biggest frustration with investing in a self-storage unit is that they didn’t do it sooner!!

1 Dreading Seasonal Events

When Easter, Christmas or even Halloween comes around, do you dread the process of finding the appropriate decorations? Spending hours moving the Halloween decorations just to get to the Christmas ones, often in enclosed, dusty locations such as the loft. By moving all of those infrequently used items to a self-storage unit, you can save yourself stress, hassle and inconvenience.

2 You Need A De-Cluttered Home Office Space

Your office is supposed to be the one space where you do your most important, potentially income-earning work. But the more cluttered it inevitably becomes, the more inefficient you become. By investing in a self-storage unit from MCR Storage, you could in essence, free up space and as a consequence, increase your productivity- essentially, your self-storage could pay for itself.

3 You Can’t Find Specific Items No Matter How Hard You Search

The more items you have stacked up in your property the more challenging it can be to find the specific item you are searching for. Ironically, this could even mean that you have to buy more items of a specific product than you require, simply because you cannot find the original item you purchased.

4 Your Family is Growing

As your family grows, either in size or number, they will inevitably need more space. However, throughout the course of life, we all end up with items of significant sentimental value to us that we don’t want to get rid of, even if we don’t use or look at them on a regular basis. To accommodate the growth of your family without being forced to make difficult decisions about throwing away sentimental items, a self-storage unit from MCR Storage is the perfect solution.

5 Moving Home

Everyone knows that moving home is one of the most stressful life events we will ever face. Trying to move everything in one day only adds to the pressure. That is why many people invest in a self-storage unit for a month or so before the move and a month or so after the move. This means that you have much more time to facilitate the move, easing the levels of stress and strain and allowing you to complete the move at your own pace.

6 Redecorating

Another key challenge homeowners can face is when the time comes to decorate. Although it is possible to move heavy items of furniture around your home to free up space. There is always the risk that those items could get paint on them, potentially destroying your sofa or wardrobe. By moving them to a self-storage unit, you generate much more space, enabling the decorating to be done quickly and efficiently with a lot less hassle.

7 Your Home Business Is Exploding

More and more people have launched their own business from home, particularly with the benefits that the internet has delivered. However, if your business suddenly explodes, requiring you to invest and store an ever-increasing amount of stock, your home can quickly become a large storage unit, which is certainly not ideal. Many of our customers at MCR Storage found hiring one of our units the perfect solution to this particular dilemma.

8 The Family is Becoming Overwhelmed By Clutter

Having too many things in your home can inevitably lead to tension within your family. Not being able to move or find items because of the sheer volume of items stored in the home can cause more problems than many people realise.

9 You Are Having To Make Difficult Decisions About Getting Rid of Items You Want To Keep

At some point if you are becoming overwhelmed or indeed overrun in your home due to the sheer volume of items you may be forced into difficult decisions about which items you may have to sell or get rid of. By investing in a self-storage unit this problem can be solved, freeing up more space without forcing you to make those difficult decisions.

10 You Have To Climb Over Items To Get To The Item You Need

Some of our customers have been embarrassed to admit that things got so cluttered in their home or office that they were clambering over boxes to get to other items of stock. They have admitted it was a ludicrous situation, but they couldn’t come up with a solution until they came across self-storage from MCR Storage. Now they have ample and virtually unlimited space without the need to risk an injury.
