When many people think of storage units, they often imagine people with a lot of unnecessary items that they don’t want to let go of. While that may sometimes be the case, storage units can be used for many purposes. Virtually anyone in the Commerce area can benefit from the extra space and security that a storage unit provides. Even families who are outgrowing their current living space may find storage units useful. Storage units can be helpful for dozens of reasons. The following describes three ways in which families in Commerce are using storage units. 1. The Passing of a Loved One When a loved one passes away, families are often faced with cleaning up the loved one’s belongings or moving them out of the home to sell the house. Your loved one may have left behind clothes, jewelry, collections, furniture, kitchen appliances and more, and if you have been given the responsibility of organizing their personal effects, there is a chance that you do not have enough space in your own home for all these items. This is why so many Commerce families rent our storage units after a death. They are able to keep personal items safe in our storage unit until the probate process has been completed or to give grieving family members time before they are ready to sort through their loved one’s personal effects. 2. Sporting Equipment Kids are often involved in many activities. Some play multiple sports and storing all of the gear can be difficult. With a storage unit, you can keep all the sporting equipment in one place, rather than try to stuff items in closets and cabinets. This keeps everything organized. Whether you have baseball equipment, football gear, balls, uniforms and other items, you can rest assured knowing that they are all safe and sound in one place. 3. Extra Appliances A storage unit can be useful for those who are in the middle of a move or home remodel and need to store extra appliances. For example, you may be moving into a smaller home and don’t have room for the washer and dryer. You may need to keep them in storage until you can find an area to hook them up. Maybe you bought a new refrigerator and now don’t have room for your old one. You can keep it in storage until you decide to sell it. A storage unit can also keep appliances out of the way while you remodel your home. You might decide to order new appliances but can’t bring them into the house until the remodel is complete. You can keep them in a storage unit for the time being. Learn More About Commerce Storage Units A move, a growing family and the passing of a loved one may all require more space.
