Planning a home renovation? Whether you're remodeling a kitchen, redoing your floors, or giving your entire home a makeover, one thing’s for sure—you’re going to need space.

That’s where self storage comes in.
Renting a storage unit during renovations can make the entire process smoother, safer, and a lot less chaotic. Here’s why storage is a smart move—and how to make it work for your project.


Why Use Self Storage During Renovations?

Protect Your Belongings

Dust, paint splatter, falling debris—construction zones are not kind to furniture, electronics, or decor. A storage unit keeps your items clean and safe until the job is done.

Clear the Way for Contractors

Give your crew room to work without obstacles. Moving furniture, boxes, and bulky items out of the way speeds up the project and reduces the chance of accidents or damage.

Stay Organized (and Sane)

Instead of cramming everything into your garage or bedroom, a storage unit gives you space to breathe and keeps your home livable—even during messy upgrades.

Flexible Timing

Renovation timelines don’t always go as planned. With month-to-month rentals, you can keep your storage unit for as long—or as little—as you need.


What to Store During Renovations

  • Furniture (couches, beds, dining sets)

  • Appliances (fridges, microwaves, washers)

  • Décor and artwork

  • Electronics and entertainment systems

  • Seasonal items or rarely used gear

If it’s in the way or could be damaged, it’s a good candidate for storage.


Tips for Renovation Storage Success

  1. Choose the Right Unit Size
    A 10x10 or 10x15 unit works well for most renovation projects. Not sure what size you need? We can help you decide.

  2. Use Protective Covers
    Wrap furniture in blankets or plastic to prevent dust buildup and scratches during transit.

  3. Label Boxes Clearly
    So when you need to grab something mid-reno, you can find it quickly—no digging through mystery boxes.

  4. Create Walkways in Your Unit
    Stack boxes smartly and leave space to access things without unloading the whole unit.

  5. Consider Climate Control
    If you’re storing electronics, wood furniture, or delicate items, a climate-controlled unit protects against temperature swings and humidity.


Final Thoughts

Home renovations are exciting—but they’re also a lot to handle. Self storage gives you one less thing to worry about, keeping your belongings safe and your space clear so your renovation can go as smoothly as possible.
