If you live in a place with limited storage options or don’t have the space to store your boat or RV near your home, self-storage could be a great option. Consider factors such as the length of time you need to store it for and its size when deciding whether to look into self-storage. If you’re not sure if you should store your boat or RV, here are some questions to help guide your decision: 

1. How often do I use my boat/RV? 

2. Do I have enough space at home to store my boat/RV? 

3. How long will I need to store it? 

4. What type of security does the  storage facility provide?

5. What are the access times and terms of use? 

6. Is there a climate controlled option available? 

7. What type of insurance options do they offer? 

By taking these factors into account, you can determine whether self-storage is the right solution for you and your boat or RV. You can also get in touch with our storage professionals to discuss any questions that you may have about the storage options available at our facilities. We’re here to help answer all your queries and ensure that you make an informed decision!

First, take an inventory of the items you plan on storing. Make a list of everything, including furniture, boxes, and bulky items. Once you have a good idea of what you'll be storing, you can start to estimate how much space you'll need. Remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution and get a slightly larger unit than you think you need. That way, you won't have to worry about cramming everything in or struggling to close the door.

Next, consider how long you'll need to store your belongings. If it's just for a short-term move or renovation, a smaller unit will likely suffice. However, if you're looking for long-term storage, you'll want to make sure you have enough space to comfortably fit all of your belongings.

Finally, think about accessibility. If you plan on accessing your storage unit frequently, opt for a unit that's located close to the entrance of the facility. That way, you won't have to carry your heavy items too far when bringing them in or out.

By taking these factors into consideration, you can be sure to select the perfect storage unit for your needs.

Moving companies offer services such as packing, boxes, supplies and insurance to make the moving process easier and more organized. Packing services are especially great for elderly people or those needing assistance with packing their belongings. Moving companies also provide boxes and supplies to ensure that their customers' belongings remain safe and organized throughout the move. Lastly, it is important for movers to have insurance in case anything goes wrong during the move.

• When storing items in a unit, be sure to store frequently used items at the front, cover them with moving pads or blankets.
• Check the unit monthly. 
• Disassemble furniture pieces and electronics where possible and label any pieces for reassembly. 
• Clean and dry appliances before storage, stack mattresses on their sides using 2x4s,  and pack books flat to protect their spines. 
• Wrap collectibles or breakable items with bubble wrap and mark the boxes accordingly. 
• Lastly, purchase insurance, don't store food items, and do not store any flammables or toxins.

When selecting a mover, it's essential to ask the right questions. Here are a few important points to consider when making your decision: 

Will you be handling the move yourself or through a third-party subcontractor? Pardee Moving & Storage provides an in-house team of professional movers that are dedicated to providing superior service. 

What services are included with the estimate? It's important to understand what comes with the moving services and if special attention is given for handling delicate items. Be sure to inquire about any additional supplies that may be needed during the move. 

How much does their insurance cover? Ensure that your local movers are bonded and insured so you can have peace of mind on your big day. 

Can they provide good references? A reputable company will gladly provide references that you can contact. If a mover is unable to give good references, it's best to choose another option. 

Choosing to go with a reputable moving company is the easiest way to successfully complete your local or long distance move.
