There is rarely a time when self-storage isn’t convenient. When you’re living in a small apartment and don’t have much room to spare, when you’re in a larger home and experiencing the changes life throws at you, and when you’re ready to downsize, self-storage is there to act as a spare shed for as long as you need it. The process of building a new home is no exception. When your new home is under construction and you’re the general contractor, you’ll undoubtedly have a lot of equipment and materials to store through each stage of the process. Self-storage can be especially useful if your house is a work in progress and you’re not sure when you’ll finish certain areas because it makes it easy to take your time with each step. Paint, Varnish, and Lacquer These cosmetic touches can take up more of your space than you realize. Consider storing rollers, brushes, and drop cloths neatly in your self-storage unit until you need them again for a further project. All your Tools, Manual and Motorized If you’re handling part or all of the construction process, you’ve got tools at your disposal. Never leave tools at the job site between. Until the house is secured, anybody could walk in and steal them. Siding, Trim, Plywood, Drywall, and Insulation These big sheets of material tend to be just that – big. Add in some large rolls of insulation, and you’re going to have a hard time getting around if you’re in the same room. Don’t fret – put these materials in self-storage until you need them for your new home. This way, they can be out of sight and out of your way until you need them. Appliances and Plumbing and Light Fixtures Appliances and fixtures go into a house fairly late in the construction process, but that doesn’t mean you can’t buy them ahead of time and be prepared for their installation. If you choose to go this route, keep the fixtures and appliances safe in self-storage until it is time to give your house these long-term character markers. Furniture and Decorations that Make your House a Home Furniture and décor are the final steps in completing your new home. Just like your appliances and fixtures, these too can be kept in self-storage until you’re ready to move them into the house. Unlike your fixtures and appliances, these can come – and go – at any time.
