FAQ
Unit Sizing and Pricing
What unit sizes do you offer?
We offer a variety of unit sizes to fit your needs. Common sizes include:
- 5 x 10 units: These work well for boxes, yard equipment, and bikes.
- 10 x 10 units: Great for holding large appliances and furniture.
- 10 x 20 units: Excellent for couples looking to store household items.
- 10 x 30 units: Terrific for housing smaller vehicles and furniture.
- 20 x 30 units: Perfect for keeping vehicles, boats, and trailers.
How do I determine what size unit I need?
A 5x10 unit can hold the contents of a small bedroom or studio apartment, along with yard equipment and bikes. A 10x10 unit is well-suited for a one-bedroom apartment, including large appliances and furniture. A 10x20 unit can typically fit the contents of a 2-bedroom home. Larger units (10x30, 20x30) are suitable for multiple rooms, furniture, appliances, or even vehicle storage. We can help you estimate the right size based on your inventory.
How much do your storage units cost?
Pricing varies depending on the unit size and availability. Please visit our website or contact us directly for current pricing information. We offer competitive rates and may have special promotions or discounts available.
Are there any additional fees besides the monthly rent?
A security deposit equal to one month's rent is due upon lease signing. Other potential fees will be clearly outlined in your rental agreement.
Multiple Size Units
Can I rent multiple storage units at the same time?
Yes, you can rent multiple units if your storage needs exceed a single unit. Please let us know your requirements, and we'll help you find the best combination of units.
Can I change the size of my unit after I move in?
You may be able to transfer to a different sized unit, depending on availability. Please contact our office, and we'll do our best to accommodate your needs. Keep in mind that pricing may change if you switch units.
Policies & Unit Management

What items are prohibited from being stored in my unit?
For safety and legal reasons, dangerous, flammable, or explosive items are strictly prohibited in the unit or anywhere on the premises. This also includes perishable items, illegal substances, or anything that could create a nuisance or danger.
Do I need insurance for my stored items?
The owner is not responsible for any loss, stolen, or damaged items, or for injuries sustained on the premises. We highly recommend and may require you to have insurance coverage for your stored belongings. You can often use your existing homeowner's or renter's insurance policy, or you may purchase a separate storage insurance policy.

If you store any automobile, truck, boat, ATV, or any other item that has a motor, you must:
- Place a drip pan under any possible sources of a leak.

- Secure the wheels with blocks for any automobile or trailer
